Nobody should be guaranteed a place in the starting 11. He contributed goals last season,whats not to like,i'd rather goals came from the midfield onwards not just a reliance on strikers.

Understand what you mean about where he may play, but we dont know where Monk is going to play him. Perhaps he is planning on playing Brown and Windass off a main striker. To me he seems like a relatively cheap player who have already been bedded in at the club and can play in a variety of positions. Good signing of you ask me. and Leko at wing back? He’s relatively cheap yeah, if we’ve got money to spend, but if money is tight, then there are other priorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but a midfield three of him, Brown and Bannan, means Bannan is once again the holding player. We’ve seen how that worked out, so no matter how many goals Windass scored from midfield, it wouldn’t be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I don't know why, it doesn't somehow seem a very exciting signing. If he can turn some of those glaring misses into goals then it will be a very decent signing.

It's why the Dele Bashiru signing has some people excited as he has never played a game so he really could be anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 For what I presume is a small fee I can’t really complain. Been one of Monk’s top targets so I hope we beat the other team to his signature. He’s spoken publicly about how well he liked James Beattie aswell so hopefully the club gets this one done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As none will be available until the premier teams have there squads together. Leko could well be Murphy's replacement, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More goals spread around, yes I’m in total agreement. It’s the balance of the side that is important here though. A midfield three of Windass, Brown and Bannan lacks steel, and we’d have exactly the same problems as we had last season. If Windass is being brought in as a starter, there is only one place he can play, in the 10 role, behind a target man. Personally, I’d much rather have someone like Leko running beyond the target man It’s just a personal choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed up of mercenaries chasing the cash. If his head is turned by the coin (I don’t care how short a players career is) then he needs to go elsewhere. There’s no suggestion he’s playing us off against other clubs. It states that other clubs are interested. There’s a difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Happy if he comes, don't think he'll be expensive. Get in a target man and Leko and think the team is starting to shape up nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do mate, and if we have the cash to add him to the squad as an option, then fair enough. The lessons of last season though, have to be learned. Once we took away the defensive shield that Hutch gave us, we leaked goals all over the place. My point though, was in relation to posters saying he should be a starter. If that is the case, it has to be as a striker, or better still in the number 10 role. We cannot weaken the midfield by including him there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
