Given what we've seen over the years in the "free market" I think I'd rather look for solutions that already exist within the club Flanagan or Doyle? Worth a go at LB? Dyce/Newall/Taylor from the u23s? Dan Neil If there are options out there than no club in L1 or L2 was prepared to take in the summer I'm not sure how I feel about us recruiting them now Did we learn nothing from Kyle Lafferty, Calum McFadzean and Danny Graham?
Not sure if we can sign a new player, loan or otherwise just for a few months? A loan from a Premier club would be good. Goalkeeper you can, I believe not sure about outfield positions. 09 needs an operation to fix his shoulder? Leeds have had loads of injuries, they were using their under 21s as subs yesterday!
You can only sign players who are unattached and only if they were unattached before the window closed. You couldn't sign a player released by a PL club yesterday for example (well you could but he couldn't play until Jan 1st)
I would go along with the above , Flanners ( the new one ), or Dyce, or a back three are all options that would not worry me unduly.
We could potentially play a back 3 and use 2 of Winchester, O'Nien and Gooch as wing backs. None of them left footed so wouldn't ideal but it could work Hoffmann Flanagan Wright Doyle O'Nien Winchester Neil Gooch Embleton Broadhead Stewart Means there is no place for McGeady but I wonder if we are getting to the point where we use him as an impact sub
This for me as well, think LJ will be forced into this 3 at the back tomorrow, just like Reid playing the younguns at the back and we took off
Looked like Dyce played well against Southampton and will have impressed Johnson etc, but he was on the left wing not LB so dunno what the plan is for him.
Agreed. When I’ve watched him at LB he hasn’t looked positionally aware. Struggled imo. Looks good LW though
This looks good to me strong defense and midfield Front three can be shuffled with McGeady Dajaku and Pritchard to give us different options. Winchester might not hack it in midfield but he did well for 10 mins on Saturday and we need to try something different.
Could turn out to be a canny player, a winger who can defend a bit would be useful. First time I saw him his size and speed were obvious but watching the Southampton highlights he can play a bit too, looked a class above.
