might not be the worst idea... especially if Bruce plans to play the 5-3-2 formation... stewart needs a full season in his prefered position playing every game.
I was thinking yesterday since Bruce brought in Elmohamady he can't think much of Stewart. Season long loan to Burnley kind of confirms that!
Since Bruce brought in Elmo it means we have Stewart and Elmo who are proper wingers. Unless we've got more coming in we still can't field a proper 442 if Stewart is going out on loan.
Ricardo Quinn is a winger and a very good one. Excellent crosser of the ball with either foot. We desperately need a CM though. After seeing the picture of TC's tackle why the fuk was there no retribution.
After his dire 2nd half showing @ Doncaster Stewart has to do something. His bottle has gone and always stays away from a tackle. Maybe its a good idea and see how he goes with Burnley. At least he wont face us this season. We can do. Aluko on the left and Elmo on the right wing. But we then lack winger cover If Stewart has gone out on loan. Maybe Bruce has other in mind.
Well Aluko's a winger even if Bruce hasnt been playing him there. I know it leaves us light but from pre-season in the the first few games of the season you sensed Bruce didnt rate him. Lets hope there's a plan B.
Maybe it was but if your team mate goes off injured Bob.......... Would Souness or Keane leave it at that? We are a team of powder puffs, especially midfield.
Yeah I've just realised who he is, still leaves us short of wingers if Stewart is going though. He's not a winger in the get to the byline and cross style. He's one you can use on the wing in a 451 where they need to get in the middle and support the striker, but in a 442 with Koren supporting them in the middle you'd not want him out wide.
Could be a good move for everyone. He obviously isn't going to play here at the moment so get him out and playing and he might discover his form, which I think everyone will agree has been pretty shocking since the turn of the new year. He has bags of potential just seems to struggle to unlock it most of the time.
I'm not too sure about this. I thought the signing of Elmo was to ensure that we had enough wingers as we only had Stewart and Aluko - and even Sone is getting played up top. I actually thought Stewart looked better at the start of this season, but then was dropped after Bruce switched to 3-5-2 or 5-3-2.
It's a shame that we can't bring young kids like Stewart and Cooper on, am surprised at Stewart going unless Bruce has a few new signings coming in for us would have thought Devitt would be out on loan
