UTO I'd trust Bruce to know which older experienced players to bring in. I wouldn't have trusted the last 2 to bring in the clothes off the washing line.

Essentially his beliefs cost him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Absolutely mental. The guy absolutely beasts games in this division. Wages will probably be huge but if its possible he'd be an absolute gem of a signing and exactly the kind of dominant experienced midfielder we've been in need of for years - no way is he suddenly too old.

Bouncing Owl Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 If we sign Diame, I will be disappointed. We have enough experienced players. I want to see some energy and pace to compliment some of our experienced players such as Westwood, Lees, Hutch, Bannan and FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Diame on sensible wages would be a good player in the championship We can’t rely on Hutchinson to play over 35 games and we have no idea if Lee will break again The younger energetic players everyone wants will either cost a fortune or will only be available on loan nearer the end of July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Folks seem to always refer to what players have done in the past, when trying to justify a reason for signing them. That’s been our trouble, signing too many players, who may have been good signings five years ago, but now, they’re not the same player. Rhodes, Boyd, Jones, all may have been decent signings a while back, but not now. What about signing players who are on an upward curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 He’s just had 2 full seasons (near enough) of prem football and is 31, so hardly ancient. If Bruce wants him, I’m happy with that. He would significantly strengthen us in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 He'd add something different and also offer competition for Hutchinson in that holding/defensive midfielder role. 31 his not exactly ancient. Probably got a couple of good years left in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 We’ve got the manager from that day at Wembley in 2016 and are now after the goal scorer. Hopefully Robertson will be next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Diame would be a top signing imo. Bruce could very well be the deciding factor if we go in for him. Not sure whether we could afford the wages he would be asking though. Would be a massive coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
