0114 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Playing wingers at wing back doesn’t work. The role is so different. Attacking full backs are good wing backs! We have 3 good wingers and 0 good wing backs. But guess which one we play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Green would be okay but fizz me we need someone to put the ball in the net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are playing 3/5/2 we need to buy and plan for that formation. Our transfer model has to be wing backs, strikers and powerful, physical and pacey central midfield players. We are craving pace and someone who can play off Paterson. Windass isn’t the answer. They are very average, as are we. I wouldn't model ourselves on them. A team we would have beaten, despite losing 2 of our best players before the game and 3 defenders during it, had we not gone down to 10 men. I'll concede they sold well, money to spend and a desirable postcode, but I've been pleased with our recruitment over the last 18 months or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick70 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 If lees hadn’t gone off we’d av won that game.. but no denying it looks like it’s going to be one tough long season we’re we unlikely to score enough goals the way we are playing and set up? Just not creating or look like creating enough chances over a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick70 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Andre Green hasn’t got the best of goal scoring records has he? A winger? Like been posted if he signs we surely can’t keep playing 3-5-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I like others are hoping this is a typo and we are actually in the mix for Andre Gray. Getting I another player in Andre Green who’s primary position is one that we don’t use in our set up worries me a little. The only thing I can think is that the recruitment guys who used to be at Villa believe he can work in another role for us maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly that, there has always been the thought floating about that Andre Green, might have the potential to be a forward, and that despite his goals record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do seem to like taking players and trying to change their primary roles. Do we have time to do that this season? Since Cardiff on the opening day, we've offered very little going forward and no surprise that's where the tinkering is happening with newly assigned wingbacks and strikers.

Bluesteel Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I’d be happy with Gray or Green. We should’ve signed Gray instead of Rhodes before Burnley did. If he’s up for it he’s perfect for this league and I’d prefer him to Zohore. Green is a winger but could do the Murphy role from the back end of last season. Had a lot of promise so don’t know where it’s gone wrong for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) It’s not going to be the one from Watford he’s on about 100k per weekend half of the league will want him if he becomes available in a wage split deal. Delusional if you think he’s a possibility. Edited October 4, 2020 by Night King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying we should buy players to suit our system and not stockpile. Like it or not they are at our level and we need to sell some players to generate funds to invest in our squad.

We've released an awful lot and have a smaller squad then we have in previous seasons. Completely agree about buying players to suit the system. Think we've tried to do that, but within our means to remain sustainable. When complying with FFP these are the types of players you are allowed to afford.
