One De Bilde Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Would be delighted to get him. If anyone thinks we are going to be attracting a higher calibre of player at the moment, turn off Football Manager and get in the real world. We are an unattractive proposition for many reasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 It’s the same pattern though isn’t it, us fans clamouring for a player who used to be good. Surely we want to be looking at players who are on the way up, instead of those in decline? To be fair, he might have been worth considering, had we not already signed Luongo.

Problem is players on there way up are wanted by bigger clubs and cost more money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s often true, but there was plenty of criticism when we took this route before. Don’t forget, most of those signed by Carlos were around the same age when they first arrived, players in decline aged 27-28. Those players very soon became the thirty somethings all at once. We have to get younger legs in there, if only for the sake of balance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Knowing our luck we’d give him a 3 year contract and he would become rubbish or get injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I my opinion, however many players we recruit this summer, half need to be under the age of 25 - but not all, and writing off a 27yr-old is probably taking it too far, mate. He's an established champ performer, an international, that has the kind of drive, physicality, & athleticism we need in the middle third. Could be a very useful freebie.

Bluesteel Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 If we can’t afford Irvine then we should look at Josh Laurent at Shrewsbury who has a similar build and has started scoring goals more consistently. He played well in the FA cup too. Available for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Losing Kieren Lee and Sam Hutchinson leaves us low on decent midfielders. Decent player who for the right contract price would add something, only 27 as well. Must have loads of badges with a surname like that Edited June 17, 2020 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t watch that one but I heard he did well. He got some good reviews when up at Hartlepool as he was likened to some kind of (very!) poor mans Pogba with his frame and some skills but he’s never really kicked on. He went to Wigan and it didn’t happen and never fully broke through the various youth teams. I just noticed him back on the radar again recently for Shrewsbury. Might be a late developer.

sethman75 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Chansiri should be signing him ASAP. Not only is he an upgrade on what we have now but is a good age and will only increase in value. Come on this is exactly the kind of player we need to go forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
