S72 Owl Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) He’s a decent player. Id sign him as back up to Hutchinson for that position. Edited April 22, 2018 by S72 Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Definitely sign him as for minimal outlay and I'd also give Pudil a year as that's CB sorted then for next season. We need to focus on a LB and CDM signing after that anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise look for a cb out of contract with championship experience during the summer.... we dont have to pay a fortune to replace a cb that can only play in a 3 and is physically not strong enough imo.... How much did Cardiff pay for Bamba? wasnt he on a free? What about Stearman at the pigs? didnt they sign him for a packet of wine gums and truffle from a local truffle hunt? I'd rather go down this route than waste a couple of mil on a player i dont think is good enough! And its all about opinions Really? You’d swap out a player who has proven himself in this league, is still young, injury free, has captained his club and will only get better for a player who is unproven in this league.. Glad you arent in charge of recruitment! Be a good bit of business if we can secure Venancio for a relatively decent sum. Even if he isnt alsways fitst choice he has proven he can step in - it’s a no brainier imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mus Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Always a fan from the start, could see the potential and now we have seen how being patient can sometimes pay off, deffo sign for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is all about opinions... Ive just not rated him since he came into the side...maybe thats just me but Im predicting we wont sign him unless we can pick him up as back up for peanuts! It's spelled "neuter", not "nuture". And why would we want a CB with no balls ? FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundhayowl Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Decent enough but I think we can do better. I've said it a million times, but Hutchinson is made for this position. I used to think Venancio's distribution was good but that seems to have got progressively worse for some odd reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have listened to the absolute whopper I had sat behind me yesterday. Minute one he started moaning about Reach. He then declared that we need to bin off all one footed players. Bannan was next for this bellends expert analysis. He also wanted Adthe sent off too for "cheating" when Blackett got a red.

Agree re Hutch. Love him in midfield but defence may be the only way to prolongue his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Hutch, but he's too injury or one to build a side around. Our future plans must be made without him as a pivotal figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think CB makes makes him unable to put in those daft, rash challenges that often end up in him getting injured when in midfield though.

Lad sat next to me (aware that i was shaking my head having to listen to this plonker) remarked: "You haven't had to listen to him for the last 3 years." As he left he said: "Cya later mate. I'm guessing this will be the last time you sit in that chair." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can pick someone up cheaper and who is upto the physicality of the championship and more suited to it!! Do enlighten us with the candidates..

sheriwozgod Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 He would be my idea of a decent free signing........but if the rumoured asking price of £2M is true then its a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes it a no from me also If that is the fee, I doubt we'll be able to afford it tbh. Surely we can only bring in frees and loans this time. The FFP situation is very prohibitive for us.

scram Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Haven't seen a great deal of him but what I have seen I like - he looks quite accomplished as a lot of Spanish/Portuguese/Italian CB's tend to Not at all as confident about Van Aken though Edited April 22, 2018 by scram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fred has looked decent and for a fee of 2.5 million would be decent business. As for Van Aken...he looks a bit of liability to me, though he is clearly a decent footballer. Perhaps in a three he could do a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
