Seen a few people suggest playing snodgrass LM or even LWB, as far as I'm aware he has only really played at RW. Any Norwich fans or anyone else that has seen a lot of him able to comment on how good he is on the left and how much he helps out in defence/whether or not he can tackle?
That's what I'd have thought in the 3-5-2. Then a 4-2-2-2 with Rosie RB, Tom and Jake holding, Brady LW, Snod RW, behind Long and Jela. With a new LB and a CB (probably Dawson) we look very strong, Meyler/Quinn/Aluko etc. all in reserve, I think up front is the only other place that really needs strengthening in terms of backup.
i think with Snodgrass / Brady and Elmo we should be about covered in the wingback wing/wide midfield positions . Do we need to chase Ince ? i'd rather we went for the unlikely Bertrand - but it also seems like Bruce is strengthening his 352/532 more than anything . so maybe his next target is going to be a tricky johnny foreigner who is good with the ball at his feet to play behind Jong & Lellyvik
I've seen people suggest playing Snotty at wing back or down the centre. Why? We may as well play Elmo or Rosey there.
With these additions this will certainly test SB man management skills, keeping everyone happy, but I do have confidence in him managing to do it.
Jack Rodwell is now allowed to leave city for good. He's one we should really of been looking, bet he'll go somewhere like palace.
Well that was a good move for him, wasn't it? Up there with Steve Sidwell's move to Chelsea a few years back. I can see Newcastle throwing money at Hunter for him.
It was ****, he was looking a real player, thought him and Wilshere would be a permanent top class England centre midfield pairing. Then he moved to city, when was it? Not heard a thing about him since, not even seen him play once. It looks like he's off to west Brom.
He's an excellent player, although he's lost time at Man City he's only 23 there's still a lot of time for him, he's one that with first team football could walk into the England team.
He is another young player going to a big club just to be lost in the wilderness, you can understand why the likes of Livermore and Huddlestone came to the likes of us, as they want to play, not get splinters in the arse.
Stevie May has just turned down St Johnstone's offer of a new contract, so it looks like he's leaving. Hopefully to us.
