Sonny Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We’re going to sign 7 left backs and 9 right backs plus 6 midfielders none of whom are under 30 years old so we must be planning to play 7-3-0 and Bruce must have been telling lies when he said he only wanted 5 or 6 players and to freshen up the squad with younger loans.

room0035 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Sign Bidwell with Penney learning his trade as back up that would be the left back sorted. Fox is still in contract so if we can't find someone stupid enough to sign him he is a last resort if the tea lady has not recovered from her pulled arm injury.

Beauchief Owl Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 You have to ask why Bidwell has been released by QPR as he's only 26. However he did play over 40 matches last season so that's a plus. It looks like they want to replace him with Matthews, the Sunderland player we've been linked with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 One of our old keepers looks to be on the move...... Stoke are close to agreeing deals for goalkeeper Adam Davies, striker Lee Gregory and midfielder Nick Powell, Sky Sports News understands. Davies has also been offered a new contract with Barnsley after an impressive stint as No 1 in their promotion season back to the Championship, but he looks set to join Stoke instead.

Agree, always a certain amount of spin from clubs and I'm sure agents will have been seeking offers which QPR presumably couldn't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Totally get where we are with the budget but if you buy solid mid table Championship players, you end up with a solid mid table Championship team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but adding in some exciting young premier league loans as others have done in recent seasons can make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what the manager can get out of them. Some teams in recent years have been promoted with players most of us would have turned our noses up at.

Think that’s certainly true if you’re starting with no other players and filling every vacancy with mid table players. However if you have players throughout the team who are amongst the best in the division but gaps in the first eleven or squad where certain positions are occupied by ‘bottom table championship players’ then filling those gaps with better players lifts the team. Bidwell > Fox Vaulkes/Morsy > Joey Odubajo > Palmer Those three positions/players being upgraded makes our overall team / squad much better than last term despite their potential replacements being mid table players as you put it.

Not played them on a Saturday since 2005. QPR is as bad it makes you wonder what the people at the EFL are on or is it just laziness. 20 hours ago, StudentOwl said: Obligatory highlights video? Oh go on then Looks like he'd be our best player if we landed him from those highlight videos. So from that, I can safely draw two conclusion: -If we sign him, the highlights will be super deceptive and in reality he's naff -If we don't sign him, the highlights will be prophetic and he'll be one of the league's best players 19 hours ago, pazowl55 said: Remember Nejc Pecnik's youtube highlights Ah yes, another player who looks like a world beater playing in empty athletics stadiums in a game that looks like football but in which nobody puts in a tackle. Pecnik looked like Waddle, Sergi Bus looked like Lineker and I honestly thought Big Dave was the result of an experiment of DNA taken from Jan Kohler and Marco Van Basten. 13 hours ago, Steve Down South said: On the subject of highlights videos, remember watching the one for Joao when some people reckoned we were signing the next Didier Drogba - that turned out well! That one too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
