Interesting to see that we have turned our attention to domestic transfer targets instead of from the Turkish league to pick up a defensive midfielder. The fee to Birmingham won't come cheap either. His experience and work rate will be invaluable, replacing Smallwood has been a tricky and expensive task.
He's not a Smallwood replacement though. A different type of player completely from what I've seen. We're clearly going for a possession based side because he's another midfielder who can control a game. He's not the ball winning midfielder we need though but we're really short in midfield so we could do with a few
I remember sharing a beer or two with them in Beijing, along with a hundred or so other City fans. Great days!
I know I absolutely shouldn’t base judgements on appearance, but having a ginger haired central midfielder who works hard makes me think of Stephen Quinn…and I can’t stop it filling me with hope!
I have a vague recollection of his name coming up during the last couple of years. A Darnbrough target we've gone back to?
Why? Think the consensus is that he has hardly put a foot wrong. People are saying we need a DM to allow seri and tufan to push forward? Why can't that be Slater. I am not saying we should not upgrade either.
Agreed.Slater's a decent player with a good work rate,he's one of the few so far this season who look up to speed.
