I suggest Bradley Dack and Adam Reach who is a LB but played as a number 10 against us early in the season and was a pest all game Nice players but both are probably outside of our current financial reach.

Mazrim Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I dont watch Burnley much, funnily enough, but Ive seen all the Ashley Westwood I ever want to see. I mean, Jesus what a terrible suggestion. Being marginally better than Whelan is not a good enough excuse to buy a player. Im marginally better than Whelan and I'd play for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 4 hours ago, lexicon said: No. No. A thousand times no. More cowardly than Hourihane in both the tackles he shirks and the risks he takes from an attacking perspective. At least Conor contributes with goals and assists. ] You know revisionism is in full swing when people are talking about one of the worst midfielders we've had, in one of the worst squads we've had, with a little bit of fondness. Awful player. I'm not commenting on or revising his time here. But for where we are right now and the level he's playing at, he seems like a good fit. He's better than all our midfielders bar Jack and McGinn. Jordan Veretout for example was pretty bad for us during our worst period in our history and I'd take him back in a heartbeat as well.

sne Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 If nothing else Tyrone Mings is a pretty bad ass name. Sounds like a character from a 90's hood movie. But I'm not sure we should be signing someone who's been out injured since 2015 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no chance he's more of a coward than Hourihane, who spends matches consciously figuring out where he can stand so he can't receive the ball. Westwood had his limitations but half of his problem was that he'd go and get the ball, turn, and see a load of people like Hourihane running away from him. If we signed a player in the Westwood mould our team would work really well now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just hope we do not go for Islam slimani, if we do I'll certainly be asking what the hell are we playing at all while paying 80k a week wages. Apparantly Slimani having a horrid time where he is at, scored only one goal this season, if that is the case then what the hell are we bloody doing signing a 30 year old forward who seems is career is lost. Another clubs reject is not what we need,this I am particularly fed up with I don't know about you lot. So if we did take him on it is a massive risk at alot of money. Now don't get me wrong there is always a chance be could turn his career around but I for one would not risk it. We need to bring in inform players not players sitting on benches, having horrible times with who they are with or players who are injuries prone. This is one of the reasons why we are having issues, we really need to go back to buying our talent that is playing good games regular not taking risks at what is very high cost. I would much rather keep playing Hogan and kodjia that have Shimano join us and I'm not a fan of our forwards this season. I agree we do need goal scoring forwards and there are many out there that we are missing that could provide a steady stream of goals for us. I'm starting to feel like we are being pressured into making rash, quick signings all because of where were sitting in the league, still 5 points away from playoffs. We are pressured into making these high risk signings that if we're not careful will land us in trouble with FFP and cost us promotion as it's already on a cliff. I say we should go with the strikers that were linked with who are young, very exciting players who could be exactly what were looking for. Few things we need is precision, speed, accuracy, wuick thinking type of players who are not scared to mix it up under pressure, who can beat there challange in front of them and dont make crazy decisions to hoof the ball.

Absolutely no chance of Slimani. Doesn't fit required profile at all. Never mind the fact we've got too many centre forwards as it is. Ball playing defensive mid left back and poss Centre Half is as far aswe will go this window. I also think if Smith can't get exactly what he wants he will wait till summer and that's the right approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Westwood? Haha he is literally the worst player that's ever played above 10 games for us. He is the most cowardly player i've ever seen, makes everyone else in midfield alongsde measurably worse. We'd be better playing with 9 men than have him in our team.

But why is it all these "Worst player I've ever seen wear the shirt" players are performing at clubs in Leagues or teams above us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
