AwokenGiant Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Seems like we've enquired about Wilks (who's on loan at Hull from Barnsley), as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Luongo has been a disaster of a signing, especially if we paid a million for him. Lee is finished by the looks of it Pelupessy is dreadful Hunt who knows. No brainer to me, been decent every time I've seen him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two players for every position is generally the norm in football Maybe the emphasis might be on bigger squads, but I doubt it somehow If our midfield 4 for next season is Bannan, Luongo, Pelupessy & Hunt then it’s going to be a long, hard, miserable season. We are getting rid of a load of big earners very very soon so we can’t conceivably replace one with two cheaper options & still have a bit left over. Jackson Irvine, whilst not a world beater, offers far more than probably three quarters of that list - what with Luongo being another inductee into the Wednesday Injury List Hall of Fame, Hunts inexperience & Joey being Joey. Maybe Monk isn’t as clueless as most would have us believe and is actually trying to, y’know, build a decent squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last point, I hope that turns out to be true, and in another thread, I posted that I felt we had been linked with some interesting players. That said, as far as I am aware, we haven’t been linked with Irvine. Would I be hostile to the move if it came about? Probably not, we are not in a position to turn our nose up at a player with his pedigree. My main concern would be, if he were signed at the expense of some younger legs.

Don’t see Irvine as a defensive midfielder, more of a box to box player, a bit like Luongo Who amongst all those does the box to box role that Irvine has carried out for all of his career? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a bit like Enekobahre where there is plenty of talent but questionable application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 He has looked far better in the Championship than he did in the SPFL. Scored a few goals down here to compliment his work rate but he’s not a top half midfielder IMO. Irvine is probably the kind of market we are shopping in at the moment and he has experience in the division. We aren’t going to have money to spend, we could do a lot worse.

OohAahGuyWhittingham Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Irvine, at the time of him leaving Burton was the perfect player for us. Box to box, goals and a bit of a presence in the middle. I can't say much for him since then as he's slipped under my radar but a regular starter at this level is not to be sniffed at in the position we're in. Would be an upgrade to Lee and Pessy at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It’s his age that bothers me, well not specifically his age, but the average age of our midfield. The three current first choice midfielders, all under contract, are all in that 27-30 bracket. Fine, I don’t have a problem with that, but I want us to avoid again assembling a back up group of a similar age. Surely we have to learn the lessons of that kind of approach We need younger blood, or legs, in that department By all means consider a player like Irvine, but only as a replacement for one of the existing three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was 30 then it maybe an issue. but even if he signs a three year contract he will still be ok at the end of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
