It’s actually Paterson’s best position in midfield playing in front of Luongo and Bannan. He’s better than Dele-Bashiru for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 At 34 he’s cracking on now, but worth a short term contract till end of season? Robert Snodgrass released by West Brom…. Snodgrass’ contract at the Hawthorns was cancelled by mutual agreement last night, offering the winger the opportunity to find a new club in the coming months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there’s Joao Carlos Teixeira an attacking midfielder. Hopefully we are looking at these free agents as we are short of numbers in midfield. And I feel with Luongo and Bannan we need an attacking midfielder to compete with DB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked with Kamohelo Mokotjo when he left Brentford - according to transfermarkt he’s now a free agent after leaving the MLS. Not sure he’d qualify for a work permit though and he’s not played for a few months. I get the feeling we’re going with what we’ve got for the rest of the season now, any free transfers will be far from match fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One being Luongo who is often injured or can be suspended due to the role he plays for the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I don't think we will bring in anyone, unless another midfielder gets a long term injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then come June we will release them as not developing or good enough, when in reality its the ones managing their development that are not good enough and should be released for their handling of another crop of youngsters, falling by the way side. If we can't get a non league to take them on loan either we are asking too much or they aren't quite up to the standard you think they are. I'm honestly not sure which it is. Hunt seems to be the only one now at a league club and that is one at the foot of L2. I wish they had clubs clamouring to sign them then at least we would have an indication of where they are at development wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had clubs clamouring to sign them then at least we would have an indication of where they are at development wise. I don't think that lack of quality in our players is the only reason why they often don't go out on loans to decent clubs. First, We don't have reputation of bringing quality talent through. Then, our "older" development squad players don't have much first team experience and lower clubs are not likely to spend their scarce resources on unproven talent while bucket load of Premiership "kids" with international honors and news articles hyping their talent are available. I don't think lower league clubs are sending scouts to watch U-23 games of every League One and Championship sides. Lots of those young players go out through clubs and agents connections. Some clubs even have figure of loan manager employed to make sure that their young players are visibe on the loan market and to help them get fixed with the right club at right time for their development. Don't think We do any of those things, finding it hard to believe that We even went that far to fax clubs at lower level about availability of our players. And who can say if it is true, but if We really asked for those clubs to cover wages of our players while they are out on loan then many won't have anything to do with us. I believe that at least likes of Brennan and Waldock (though briefly) proved that they are good enough for league football. Watching PL2 and academy football a lot these last few years I don't think that likes of Cadamarteri and especially Shipston are any less talented compared to most that I watched at that level playing regularly for top Premier League academy sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the clubs being interest, is the issue the problem historically is what the club is asking for. Grimsby had Hunt on loan, then could not afford to resign him, either they were not paying his full wage or there was loan fees being asked for by us. We want other teams to play our youngsters and give them game time, but the club in the past have asked for full wages and loan fees. Clearly whatever we are doing is scaring off clubs to firm up interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good shouts there, Teixeira is in the mould of Kieran Lee so would be a decent option. Hopefully we aren't surrendering our promotion ambitions and actively looking at who is available out there now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
