Otto_Man Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 13 minutes ago, mkowl said: So 22 players in, plus potentially Beadle, maybe Bernard. And that is before we start on squad lists, who counts etc to the official list I do wonder if the likes of Smith, Wilkes could be moved on still or encouraged to do so I mean the allocation of positions could be inter changeable eg Palmer is not MF for me, so my view we are still at least one short in central midfield. But see where we end up I guess Fair shout mk, I suspect if we play the 4-2-3-1 we seemed to prefer last season, that neither Pato nor Windass will be the 1 (thinking on it probably not Wilkes either). We do seem heavy on strikers mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl71 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Transfer business being done after contracts expire but before the pre season training camp. Considered punts being taken on guys in their early 20s who other teams were looking at. Work being done on training ground. This is all a bit scary. I’m not used to things Wednesday related being this rational and organised. 😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 We will get two central midfield players in, plus another striker. Rohl mentioned on owls in the park that we needed different options in midfield.

TheExile Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 If Bernard re signed do you think we’d be going for another CB? I hope so as hardly any of them can play out and we were weak from set plays, but the wage bill will be getting a bit spicy if we don’t shift one or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never looked back since and it’s very rare I venture over there.. I only did so yesterday to see if there were any posts about new signings that might not have been picked up on here. Big mistake as I was fuming after reading some of the stuff I did. But as Hoyland has said, enough about that. Hopefully we bring Beadle back in today! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 we've had summers when we thought things MIGHT be good. But bloody hell.

Tylluan Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 I'd be tempted to send Charles out on loan until Christmas if we can find the right league club and he gets game time. It would help his International credentials to be playing regularly and we've got cover in Hall who was pushing Charles when they were both in the 21s. Hall's been in the England set up as well so he's no slouch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamblor Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 That first summer with Chansiri/Carlos felt like we’d just gone to the shops after winning the lottery. It was exciting, but chaotic and there was no real plan in place. This is calculated and clever, every move is deliberate and is part of a strategy. It’s new and I like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCraigsOwl Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 5 hours ago, OptimisticOwl said: Scott Wright Do we need another winger? I don't really know much about him, does anyone know if he's capable of playing centrally? Looked ok in his early days at Aberdeen. Has been more of a bit part player at Rangers. Decent enough work ethic and attitude. If you give him a job to do on the pitch, he'll do it. Unfortunately, his end product is patchy as fuck. Really not sure on this one. DR (apparently) must see something in him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExile Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 He has featured in UCL and Europa League for rangers and whilst his end product does look lacking when you see the goals he’s scored they are decent strikes. So perhaps it’s someone we have identified as a successor to Windass as they look quite similar as players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
