Great Big Galaa 2,595 Posted January 11 7 hours ago, Junk Smuggler said: Van Aken? I think he was signed in the summer of 2017? Regarding the January Window of 2017, I missed out the Loan signing of McManaman which made that window even more frustrating given his lack of an impact too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GerOwl 344 Posted January 11 8 hours ago, gurujuan said: Again, we don’t play that way We still put a lot of crosses in. The quality and position from where we cross is mostly abysmal and has been since Rhodes signed. You can't sign players like this and then not put any quality into the box for them. We are not good enough to tip tap into the box and if we were, we wouldn't be slumming it in the lower part of the Championship. Nearly all of our strikers are good headers of the ball. Its weird, like Carlos signed them all to play wingers and then changed his mind. Look at how much Liverpool cross the ball, especially from Robertson and TAA. We don't have that quality but it would be nice to see some aggressive full backs getting beyond their defence to cross from their box instead of lumping it in from near the half way line. Palmer to his credit does do this and if his final ball was better he would be a very good attacking full back. Fox has a good cross on him but looks like hes running with a dump in his shorts, no pace means you can't get further up the pitch to use that crossing ability effectively. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Night-Owl 3,266 Posted January 11 I reckon we'll get a couple of top flight loanees before the window closes. My guess would be Fosu-Mensah and Brewster on loan from Man U and Liverpool, or someone similar. Plus I've got a feeling we might make one fairly big signing near the deadline, regardless of whether we sell anyone or not, before the big rebuild in the summer.

Quite a few top flight loanees in the Championship and in the top flight are returning to their parent clubs lately. In order to join other clubs on loan. Due to a lack of games.

Next season I think Bruce will go with fletcher and Rhodes up front. Middle of the park will be Bannan, Hutch and forestieri. 3 at the back and wing backs. Maybe back to 4-4-2 with reach back out on the left and bring in a wide right sided player /Winger ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I will be shot down on this but just don't rate Fosu-Mensah. Whenever I've seen him playing for Fulham this season he seems out of his depth and a sending off waiting to happen. But that's just my view. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not just yours, I’ve felt the same when I’ve seen him, but he’s rated by better judges than us, so maybe we’ve just caught him on a bad day.
