I'd recruit someone a few years younger to learn from and succeed Fletcher, like Florian Kamberi at Hibs. He's arrogant, but has all the attributes to develop into the role. Was thinking on loan, doubt we have any cash for purchases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably need to be a buy. He's also had injuries the last couple of years and isn't at his best. We'd be hoping he'd recapture form of 2-3yrs ago. Sound familiar? We've been down that road several times. I'd hope DC wouldn't wanna get burnt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It looks to me trying to offload Winnall and Rhodes in January may be key to any business we may do? Neither player works well as a Lone Striker. We don't look as though we're going to play two up front unless we do what we did at Boro and play Fletcher and Nuhiu so the opportunities for either is going to be few and far between? Getting in a pacy mobile striker must be the preferred option but at the same time it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we went with what we've got for the season?

sMacLean Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Matej Vydra not getting much time at Burnley, only 27 still and proven in this league. Loan move would be possible maybe, they were happy to let Nahki Wells go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vydra is no more suited to the lone striker role than FF. Neither Rhodes or Winnall can lead the line either. If we can't make any of them 'fit' the formation, why should it work for Vydra?

Dont see the sense in playing four defenders,not with squad we have,Odubajos a wing back anyhow,we need goals,weve no goal threat in our current MF,we need two uptop and a goalscorer,Bruce was trying to add two further players before he left ?

Owling Wolfe Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Although big scorers would be nice I’ll take another 33 1-0 wins for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
