Owls-Fan 3,238 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Maybe Irvine was demanding to start in every game or asked for too much money. Footballers are like that sometimes 1 Link to post Share on other sites

modboy 7,076 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Pick up the phone again. Desperate for a midfielder as hunt and Fis aren't white ready Link to post Share on other sites
The Night-Owl 5,990 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Would have liked to have seen him here, think he would have suited us and would have given us stronger depth. Could do with picking up a couple of out of contract players if we can, in particular wing back or defensive midfield could still do with strengthening to effectively play 3-5-2. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
steelcityowlsfan 4,571 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 We need another Irvine at Hillsborough Link to post Share on other sites
wilyfox 21,367 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Would have been a good addition. Keeping Pelupessy as Luongo’s cover was always gonna blow up in our face at some point. I honestly thought we would bin Hutch & Pessy, then replace with someone like Irvine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
gurujuan 11,871 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Irvine hasn’t been good for a long while, but I agree, we really needed someone who could effectively cover Luongo’s role 2 Link to post Share on other sites

deano 1,532 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 (edited) Would be a good addition right now as others have said. I do find some of our recruitment puzzling, why did we sign Kachunga if we are going to bring Rhodes on ahead of him, and if we intend on using Rhodes why did we sign kachunga at all, another body in the middle like Irvine would of been more useful imo.

OhForAnotherShez 1,715 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Irvine is not as good as he was at Burton. he would not be without club if he had that form. Link to post Share on other sites

jonnyowl 3,685 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 If Monk thinks he has the right attitude, it might be worth a contract till end of season, we need another body in central midfield. Just worry how it will take to get him match fit! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

beswetherick 3,149 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Would rather have his ex-Hull colleague Kevin Stewart but either would be an improvement on our current back up CMs 2 Link to post Share on other sites
WalthamOwl 16,801 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Would be a massive upgrade on Pelupessy. Could really do with another quality midfielder in with the injuries we will pick up to Brown and Luongo all season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesteel 15,003 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 He’s not a Luongo player but would be closer to that than some of the others just though his size. I wonder if the interest comes back now. He can’t be anywhere near fit Link to post Share on other sites
neo hippy 670 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 With the amount of games having to be played we need the bodies. No idea how much his form has dropped but he was easily good enough in his Burton days. Link to post Share on other sites
