oldishowl Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think people forget something when talking about Carlos and transfer business. He was never interested in strengthening his first eleven after that first season. He was only ever interested in signing backups and that was why we ended up with the players we did and why once the injuries started we were done for. Reach and Fletcher were only signings to get in first eleven, and even then Reach had to play anywhere to get a game . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six centre forwards in Rhodes Joao Winnall Hooper Nuhiu Fletcher (one out on loan) Two further strikers Matias and Forestieri So to be correct eight strikers in total fighting for one or two places. I can see the point he is making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Don't think we will ever truly find out who had final say in the Rhodes transfer. Didn't think for one moment Bruce would have come in if he didn't get final say on all football decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped we'd seen the last of him after SB's appointment but he has still been in the directors box for the matches Agnew has been in charge for. Will be interesting to see whether he is still there now that SB is fully in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Fletcher, Nuhui, Hooper, Rhodes, Joao and Winnall are probably inarguable, Matias and Forestieri somewhat debatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Another statement I absolutely love. I really don’t see Bruce being a yes man and having a chairman interfere. Personally when everyone is fit we seem to have quantity over quality upfront. With Bruce saying we have to many strikers I’m surprised no one left yesterday.

Or after the Shambles at Wembley the season before? Just watch the second leg of the Brighton playoff game again, we were very lucky to get to Wembley in the first place. That Brighton game was very reminiscent of Jos's 7-3 defensive formations. With Bruce I can't see him setting us out to nullify the opposition against anyone in the Championship. Carlos and Jos both liked to make football difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The best transfer market operators I've seen in my time as a Wednesday fan are Atkinson and Megson. Bruce over the years seems to have done good business more often than not in his previous jobs and I fully expect him to do good business here and I think yesterday shows when it comes to doing transfers, he's definitely got his finger on the pulse.

His management was summed up by the first 5 mins of that game. He left Reach on the bench and started his favourite 4, Bannan, Lee , Hutch and Wallace. All good players but 3 of them were nowhere near fit , only Bannan, and Wallace lasted less than 5 mins. Up front he started two injured players, FF and Fletcher and left a fit Winnall, Rhodes etc on the bench. Surprised he didn’t start Hooper in a wheelchair.
