Well, being as I was still crappin in nappies at the time, you'd be correct. Still don't make a Donny lad, from Scunthorpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind Hourihane though if we're looking at past signings, or if we've money to spend Kodija? That's a Big Hitter contract! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the guy who was at Coventry for a while. If so, he looked a real handful when I saw him on tv Maybe it was his one good game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as holding the ball up, and bringing others into play, you need your main striker to run in behind. The three top goal scorers in our league, Pukki, Abraham and Maupay, all scored goals aplenty by running in behind. All operated as a lone striker for their clubs Even if they don’t get a cleat run at goal, their movement stretches the opposition We don’t have that with Fletcher, thus our attacking is often laboured But it works both ways. Pukki and Maupay are both very mobile, smallish strikers. They both play in a team that play pacy, passing football on the deck from back to front. We will need to sign a few better players before we could do that. We saw how well we build from the back earlier in the season. It would be interesting to see how they would cope with some of the service Fletcher has had this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I've been watching pukki in Finland and the UK for the last almost decade and he's had one of those rare seasons of a lifetime. They 100% should cash in on him if they get a decent offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but we have to play that way. United played a sightly different system, but they still played pass and move The secret is, move the ball quickly Under Bruce, we passed, but at a tempo that made us slightly predictable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcclesallOwl Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) If we have some sort of money to spend in the summer & after hearing Bruce say we’ll have to try and agree a fee with Chelsea for Hector, it sounds like we do, then we’ll finally be able to do some sort of negotiating The FFP situation could actually benefit us, no one seems to have a clue what we have to spend and for the first time since Chansiri has been here, clubs won’t be able to rinse us knowing we’ve got millions to spend Edited May 3, 2019 by EcclesallOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played footy a few times with this lad when I was younger. He was a cracking player then, however the differences between championship footballers and spotty teenagers is quite vast so not sure how he’d hold up for us these days.

Not they were willing to pay that amount. Our valuations have consistently been bloody mad under DC. No wonder we never sell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
