Surprised to hear this so mature saw him play several times at St Mirren youth level. U16 2010. U17 2011/12. U20 2012/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 40 minutes ago, Bluesteel said: Not a rumour but more of a left field/budget suggestion. There was a player doing well at Oldham called Ousmane Fané who was a lanky box to box player who looked really promising before he broke his leg. He had a year out the game and left Oldham as he fell out with them. Last I saw he was up training with Motherwell but not sure if he signed. French player but did the rounds in non league here for Kidderminster and Birmingham were keen for a while. Well let me be the first to tell you... I love Fané 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of a trial is a few weeks accommodation and a £1k expenses. What is to lose ?

He reminds me of Carlton Palmer with the way his long legs snake out and either collect the ball or shield it. He's still got his best years ahead of him and Def Mid is a position we need competition for places with Hutch being a crock. Worth a trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 We still have an unbalanced squad, and if we can’t get players out, for whatever reason, might we have to look at different roles for certain players? The main area where we are short, is central midfield, where we basically have 4 players. There are 8 days left for us to wheel and deal, but if we don’t get any more movement, that is it until January, unless we can find anyone who is out of contract. We won’t get by with 4 central midfielders, especially as two of them have dubious fitness records. I suppose the obvious one who could do a job centrally, although with limited success, is Reach. Could anyone step forward from the back? Palmer, he’s played there before, as has Baker I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally dont think Baker is Championship standard , Palmer, van Aken and Iorfa could all POSSIBLY play there, but the biggest disappointment for me on Sunday was seeing Sam Winnal forced into playing midfield. It was only a friendly so i think we would have been much better served giving one of our young uns (Hunt,Kirby,Grant etc) half a game to see how they fared.

Yes agreed, and there is nothing in Winnall’s “skill” set, to suggest he would ever be comfortable in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 6th choice out of 6. Dudes gotta go - and he should be busting a gut to leave. Lost a year through injury. 28, in his prime. Should be playing somewhere. Not gonna happen here.

Honestly, even in my most manic, positive moods I still can't find anything Winnall brings to the team. Everyone says sell Joao but at least he 3 out of 10 times can win us a game, Winnall, well, sometimes I forget he's a footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mobile, but no athlete like Joao. He's not creative like Forestieri. Can finish, but not as clinical as Rhodes or Hooper was. He doesn't really offer something out of the ordinary like Nuhiu either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Huddersfield are looking to replace the £15M sale of Phillip Billing by bringing in Josh Onomah and Spurs want £15M allegedly. This market sometimes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
