I think a good quality Premier league team will buy a RB or LB to fulfil both roles - Askew gave a good example of the lads at Spurs.

They're not growing on trees at a price we have been able to afford, which is what confused me when Bruce said he was unsure what formation the 2015/16 would utilise, then bought in players that never really suited either formation - we are still lumbered to a point. Let's see what happens next.
 
I think he has to mess with it as our supposed rock solid back 3 are anything but.

I'm hoping he has been studying us for weeks and is going to hit the ground running.

How do you think Jake would do in the back three?
 
Don't think we've had foreign press and others reporting a manager has signed, to the extent they know the specific terms of the contract.

The point I'm making is that the über bell end in charge of our club( who Patsy would nosh nosh off given the chance) has the capability to **** up anything at anytime.

I doubt the foreign press know just how much of a moron Ehab is and probably don't know about his business acumen.

Only the naive would think he couldn't **** it up. It's all looking to be on track but like I say, there's always time for daft lad to throw in a clause that makes the new kid walk away.
 
Odubajo? I'm not sure, I think he played better without Elmo in front of him as they seemed to get in each other's way. Or had bizarre instructions for one to not pass the half way line.

You do need to recruit specific players for specific positions, something our policy of late has been sadly lacking.

I think a good quality Premier league team will buy a RB or LB to fulfil both roles - Askew gave a good example of the lads at Spurs. There's also Liverpool with Milner and Clyne, I think Milner is superb - would love a player as adaptable and powerful as him at City.

Leicester were very targeted in signing players with specific attributes to fit in specific positions - Albrighton one. They calculated he put more crosses into dangerous areas than almost any other PL player. He's not done so bad for them. Unfortunately they lost the head of recruitment - Arsenal I think.

Head of recruitment was steve walsh who was at city with nige pearson, now at everton.

Agreed, my breath is well and truly held until after thís appointment is confirmed, even then I think Ehab will do his utmost to **** things up afterwards due to his seeming sheer stupidity. He has plenty of form after all.

Jake's done well in defence but we need him more in midfield at the moment. He's played well for the last 5-6 games. When he first stepped back into midfield having helped out in defence it seemed like we'd broken him. He's back to playing well, I wouldn't want to lose his midfield endeavour - personally.

Call me a miserable, pessimistic old frigger but I wouldn't be shocked if Pennock had to take charge for a few games because Silva decides it's not for him.

No, not Walsh. This fella was a computer techie. If you've ever seen moneyball - that's the way they used to sign players. Data profiling.

I see that, but his spell in defence was our strongest, I think, without looking it up. We do have a wealth of midfielders and Harry who can rampage. I think the Davis - Dawson partnership has always been iffy.

Switch Jake and Harry...AND put Jak back in goal where he belongs for the rest of the season. Get our GA average down to 1 per game and get Abel back to play off Mbob up front and we can stay up with Silva in charge. We are good enough to overtake Swansea, Sunderland, Palace, and Boro if we play our best players in their best positions.

It also coincided with Jakupovic in goal, which I think had more to do with it.

Davies and Dawson were perfectly fine last season in the Championship together and have been fine in spells this season.
