This lad is here because Grealish is still in a Hospital bed and will be for a while yet.. We were playing a 4-4-1-1 at Watford with everything going through Grealish and that is how Bruce likely wants to play against Hull. Onomah can play any position in midfield, but he's largely a Number 10 like Grealish was going to play this Season. Hourihane isn't in Bruce's plans to play there, he doesn't even seem to be in Bruce's plans to play anywhere in midfield this Season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Whelan is injured, bring in Jedinak. If Lansbury is injured bring in Hourihane. So Hourihane is next in line and there's an obvious place for him to compete for with Lansbury. We need more than starting players obvs. Back on topic, I feel better about the start of the season now. I felt we needed at least one more option. That left wing is looking to be our main obvious weak spot now, so here's hoping Green continues his progress. His performances under Bruce were night and day to his performance(s) under RDM (although he didn't play much under RDM so that is no 'Bruce is great' statement).

Danishlad Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 The player out might be Jedinak. I'd play Josh next to Whelan in centre mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted August 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2017 So is he more of an attacking mid or a solid centre mid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomvilla7 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Would be surprised to see him start tomorrow, needs a chance to train with the squad. Could get a start against Colchester on Weds alright though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2017 Ahh, I remember him from the Under 20s World Cup, he played well, including in the final... if he's the right player I'm thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) I'm a bit confused as to where he's going to play. Been reading and it seems as if he's more of a box to box midfielder rather than a 10 so it's not quite a straight swap for the Grealish position? Is he going to be up against Lansbury/Hourihane? Either way, he's surely been guaranteed a good amount of playing time so I'm excited to see him. Edited August 4, 2017 by Farlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Never seen him play so no idea what he's like, will say though im not a big fan of loan signings. When you get a player from a bigger club there always seems to be a must play when fit stipulation. Sometimes this works against you when a player hits bad form, Frank Carson springs to mind, he played every minute dispite looking dreadful at times. Sam Johnston loan irks me too as looks like he will have to play every game too. Have to admit was looking forward to seeing more of our own Josh (Hayes) this season but thats less likely to happen now. However if a loan player is bloody good then its worth it. Hope Onomah fits into this category, but the only loan i can think of that was this category for us is Carbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
