Josh Dawowu sign from the Arsenal youth team a few years ago plays right back and has played that position in some of the friendlies this preseason. 3 decent options Striker options err we dont have any Iorfa can play RB and CB. But if Moore is looking at playing Wing Backs, I doubt Iorfa would be suited to that more attacking role. I think Hunt is a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC holding a gun to DM's head making him pick a RB or a striker. We'll sign a striker or two, just chill. Jack Hunt is a good signing in league 1 and better than any RB we have. Palmer will play LB I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawodu might not even be part of the first team squad at all for all we know. The fact that he has been playing at all indicates that we are short in that area. Palmer is fine, I guess. He lacks Hunt's attacking qualities as a wing-back. We now have two decent options at right back, which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is working on a shoestring with 4 options at right back Yes this is definitely a DM signing. You know all the players he’s been looking at? Or could it be a case of the ‘kids’ were the easiest to persuade to join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Problem is that wages are a problem. We brought in right back who is roughly on pair to one already at the club. At the same time we have two left back with very little first team experience. Couldn't we use that wages to bring in (for example) someone like Oglivie, prove League One lb to the club? We are WASTING precious resources while we have so much in our squad that needs urgent fixing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be too slow and drops too deep into midfield. I don't think he suits Man City 100%. But he'd be a brilliant replacement for Firminho at Liverpool with Saleh and Mane either side of him. All about opinions football. On any given day we're all right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, if all those were to leave, and for clubs higher division wise, it'd be the funniest thing in a long time, because I'm sure I've read that none of em are good enough for what we need, or just not good enough period, funny thing opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think too many are getting their knickers in a twist. Totally agree and understand we need to focus on certain areas but I’ll chuck this in, I think we are going to set up differently to how we have in the past hence we’re not looking for strikers in the traditional sense. Also the current squad as stated many times before is unbalanced and will take several transfer windows to sort out, in fact we’ll be having another clear out next summer if not before and perhaps only then can Moore really sort out our deficiencies and really stamp his authority, style and ethos on the team. If he manages to make us competitive this season, he’s swum the channel while pulling a tug boat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon with captain looney-bin in charge, if we are not top 6 or thereabouts at Chrtistmas, then Moore will be a gonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pulis Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Only think we need one more striker, probably on a loan. Windass should get 15+ goals and Paterson will get 10+ if played up there. Shodipo and Green will chip in with at least 5 each and I expect Bannan will also. That's more than good enough for the first team, if they can be defensively solid enough. If we got another, they could act as good backup for the central role (Green can also play centrally if necessary) and I'm also a big fan of Adedoyin. Kody and Hagan will be more than good enough for cups and as a last throw of the dice for league if necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn McTominay Gilmour Jack Christie Armstrong McGregor Turnbull McLean Fleck He has been a top player for us but there is absolutely no chance Bannan is ever playing for Scotland again at his age with them around in the middle of the park. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
