I just wondered if Stuie might be off to Scotland in the near future. I don’t know anything but I just thought he might fancy an easy life at one of the big two, as he gets older. Sort of semi- retired, in a part time league.
Seems a very strange loan deal to me, desperate for a striker and another winger to replace Tella and we get an unknown CM from Bompey.
In a parallel universe we don't sign Rothwell and then on 2 Feb Stuart Armstrong, who is quite partial to a niggle, gets injured and derails our promotion push. Good, experienced signing who I'm sure will more than do a job whenever he's called upon.
This. Keep seeing that we need to get a striker. I'm not sure we do. We seam to have very little problem scoring at the minute
Downes 100% is and, whether we go up or not, will be playing premier league football next season. Fraser I don't know yet but we should certainly look to sign him next season as he will be cheap and as we know, a good option from the bench.
Presumably weren’t prepared to pay the fee. Like with Tella. They basically signed two central defenders for the fee he would have cost. Kind of did similar in spreading out their money rather than stumping up for Tella. Hindsight would suggest that was a mistake. This is assuming THB wanted to go there permanently. He might not have done
I agree about THB and Downes being good enough for the PL next season. I'm less convinced about Fraser.
Yeah, I wouldn't be in a rush to sign Fraser permanently. Even in the PL he can be useful in the role we deployed him in for the first few months -- 75th minute sparkplug -- but he also has a history of getting pretty tetchy in that role.
