Sheff U also did it well this season. As did Paul Cook's Wigan in League 1. I have zero faith in Bruce implementing it well. Agree on the 3 4 3 /352 , it requires a mobile cmd who can drop into defence jedi simply isnt good enough on the ball to fill in here I like him but he stops us from playing inmo, we have some decent young players they just need coaching Im very fond of bruce but he simply not the man for this job. Keeping hold of jack and getting a coach to drill and train theese kids and were good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Change in the transfer deadline for 2018/9. The transfer windows for EFL clubs closes after the first game - or before the second. Aug 9 2018 - loan signings can still be made up until Aug 31 - and transfers out overseas can still be made up to Aug 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Bolton's left back who was on loan from Everton actually seems decent and we need someone to replace Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I just read Gollini is being sold to Atalanta for €3.5M. Not sure if the source is credible though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I thought after Saturday we’d be in a position to look at transfers but now until we sort who our manager will be it’s all still up in the air. It looks like we’d will be looking at free transfers and loans so we need to get this sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We should be sorting out who is our manager for next season by the end of next week. We should also look to do some signings before the world cup if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why he suddenly changed at Hull after 10 years of playing 4-4-2/4-5-1 at likes of SHA and Wigan. We have tried it a few times in his reign and it's been a disaster pretty much on every occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skills Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 tim krul and Michel vorm both available for free transfers if Johnstone doesn't stay, didn't realise that Krul is only 30 Huth might be a good shout as a replacement for Terry also available on a free. Someone else mentioned Tuanzebe coming back on loan and playing as a CB, would be interesting to see him play in that position as he certainly isn't good enough at right back With Kodj and Green back, imo are better options then grabban and snoddy. Id bring in one (or two) young pacy type out wide as back up, the young fella (Asoro i think) from Sunderland looked ok If Grealish leaves then so be it, loved watching him play and ill definitely watch his career with great interest wherever he goes. At the end of the day and I know its not all about stats, but he only scored 3 goals and 6 assists in 30 odd games. If we can use the funds wisely, we'll be a better team for it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I guess the postings here will involve players leaving rather than coming in as we look unlikely to be able to pay any transfer fees or to pay loan fees/meet the wages of players we might want to bring in on loan. Sad days indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We should be going for Jordan Hugill on loan from West Ham. Or even a swap with Hogan if they'll bite. Only reason I mention that is because they were linked so heavily before we signed him. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/10743373/west-ham-still-looking-to-sign-scott-hogan-from-brentford http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4129118/West-Ham-make-breakthrough-striker-Hogan.html https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan/17/west-ham-strikers-david-sullivan-gold-simone-zaza-scott-hogan https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/12/31/west-ham-transfer-news-shane-long-brentfords-scott-hogan-alternative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
