TheEnchanter Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just now, Bluesteel said: He could be, but then again I didn’t see much in semedo or prutton when we signed them but they both added some grit to a flakey team and allowed younger quicker players to go and do their thing. Only way I could see it kind of working would be a 4231 where Bannan and Cattermole play deeper and the midfielder ahead of them has a much more creative attacking role. Seems a little outdated in terms of the tactics teams were using last year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to have too many of those in the top flight with Sunderland but if he stood out in a poor team why didn't anyone else at that level take a chance on him? I don’t know, but not many players last at a big club like that for 10 years under various managers, I don’t think judging his winning record in the premier league is that relevant as we’ve not been there for 20 years but he won a fair few last season and got to Wembley twice. It’s gone south for the last couple of seasons and he’s by no means going to change the face of our side on his own, but I can see what he would bring that is different and might help us also if it goes well.

Carlos was modern but all style and no substance when it mattered in my view. Edited July 1, 2019 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll be moved on asap and provide us with some funds. Also would love to see FF sat behind the striker in that pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Since semedo left we’ve only really had Hutchinson who could really put a foot in. He’s also a card magnet and had injury issues but he’s one of the most popular players here. We’ve been crying out for another player to help him do that role as we’ve been bullied in too many games. Pelupessy was brought in and he’s physical but too nice. If we had more to spend Morsy would be my choice for that no nonsense leader type as he gets up and down the pitch but we’re clearly working to a tight budget and Bruce knows Cattermole very well. Cue red card first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're going to be disappointed. Players in their final year of lucrative contracts do not try to engineer moves without having something lined up. In those circumstances it makes perfect sense for it to be to a manager you have already have history with and is looking to improve midfield options.

IWEDFM Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 How can anyone be against this move? He's still only 31 and is hard as nails and on a free. We can't rely on Hutch staying fit for 46 matches as he's either injured or suspended. This makes perfect sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Seems like the kind of player Warnock would sign for one of his promotion teams. So I’m all for it myself We don’t have millions to spend and it’s easy for people to say we should be signing someone younger, but they would demand a fee or be a loan who wouldn’t guarantee any success 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 We are concentrating on the rougher aspects of his game but he has qualities at the other end. In D1 he scored 7 and one assists in 29 games. In our Div he scored 1 and made 6 in 35 games. He has played most of his career battling in the Prem. He would be absolutely fine with us under Bruce. My bigger concern, after playing almost all of his career in Sunderland and Boro, is whether he can acclimatise to the tropical climate of South Yorkshire. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
