fpowl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Right back for me is the priority I think if we’re playimg with a front three or wingers we could to with another wideman If we have to sell one of our players The this also might need to be addressed position wise probably bannan is the hardest to replace with what we’ve already got forestieri and reach might be able to be replaced with players we already have so as big as a loss that would be we’d be ok id like to keep reach but he could be the difference on bringing a couple in and keeping our best assists could we sell reach and bring in maybe Burke and a right back?

The Night-Owl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) I'd say we need around 4 or 5 players. Dunno what funds are available, etc. Won't be surprised to see a couple of loanees come in. With the main rebuilding work being done in the summer. I think we still lack the attributes we've needed ever since Wembley. Most notably a commanding defensive leader; midfield beast, pace and power. If Bruce comes in, he seems to like to build his teams around a solid physical base with some pacey direct players. Plus he would've noticed our weaknesses in the build up to Wembley and will probably notice that those weaknesses haven't been addressed.

gurujuan Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Bree is no better than Palmer Suppose he would add more competition than Baker, who would do well to go out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 If Bruce goes with 442 then I’d say a RB, DM and RW are needed most. Maybe a CF too depending on Winnall/Hooper’s availability. Wouldn’t it be great if Bruce is given decent funds somehow to bring in some top players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we’d be better looking for an experienced leader at the back. That’s the type of player Bruce always seems to bring in. He usually likes to bring in a striker to kick start his regime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need a ball playing holding midfielder so that Bannan can get forward more and not be the one collecting it deep between the centre backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ready to be first choice week in week out. Fox and Palmer are steady at best. Able understudies, but no more. Baker hasn't impressed me. He's a trier, but needs to get out on loan to develop. Since Pudil's legs went & Hunt was sold, we've been lacking in those positions. Upgrade our full-backs and you improve the team significantly.

gurujuan Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I wouldn’t be surprised to see him looking at a short term deal for someone like Robert Huth Yes it goes against our new policy of signing younger players, but if we feel we need an experienced leader, then that’s what we’ll have to do Wouldn’t neccesarilly be my choice, but it’s the type of signing Bruce seems to go for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Definitely think he'll be looking at RB. He's brought Axel Tuanzebe in twice at Villa and also got James Bree from Barnsley. They may be two he has an eye on seeing as he's worked with them previously. Tuanzebe is on loan to Villa currently but if Dean Smith needs wiggle room it could be terminated?

Birley Owl 1867 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Think our main targets will be sounding out players to pinch for free in May/June before expiration of contracts. Timm Klose on a free would be an excellent signing if he becomes available, and is the type of leader Bruce would like (Lees and Westwood too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 For those who want a right back, can i suggest Darnel Fisher at Preston, so good at getting fans off there seats every time he plays against us. Ok it's to boo him but it's a start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
