Menace Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 They only paid about £1m for him in the summer, not exactly a club flush of money. For £10M+ he'd be a no brainer imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see him coming up and doing what Bowen has from that right side, who is yet another that came up and adjusted very quickly. We need to get some of these types of guys.

Kid Icarus Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) 37 minutes ago, PCW1983 said: I’d have MGW in a heartbeat, high energy, consistent and able to finish. Could easily slot into our midfield in my view for either Willock or Longstaff. Aye he's class. Think we've missed the boat on him now though, really we needed to get him at the price Forest did.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Gibbs-White is a player we’d have to pay a premium price for, but honestly I think he’d be worth it. He’d be incredible under Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 We desperately need a RW. The fall off from Barnes and Gordon to our other wide options in terms of how much threat they pose is massive. We need depth, not only to cover injuries and rotate from game to game but also to make changes during games as the front three start to tire. Was fine today as we were 3-0 up once they started to slow down but more often than not the game is still in the balance at that point. If we're bringing on players like Almiron and Murphy we're gonna struggle to close games out or find goals when we need them. Much will depend on finances and our ability to shift deadwood, of course. Ideal scenario for me would be moving on Almiron and Wilson and bringing in two to replace them. A top class, first team ready RW to challenge Gordon and Barnes to start. A versatile young player who can play wide or through the middle. Keep Minteh around as well for me, looks like an absolute handful to be throwing on for the last 20 minutes of the games when they get stretched.

ponsaelius Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I think MGW could play RW very effectively for us as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) No info to back this up but if money is tight I think we go for a player that can play across the 3 or at least the right and the middle as just can't see the funds being there for a striker and a dedicated winger.

STM Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I'd have CB as job number one. Under Howe, we score goals, we always have and always will. We need more quality in defence. Pace in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) When I think about what our weaknesses are it's definitely not scoring goals... it's probably controlling games against lesser sides who've constantly managed to create chances against us on the counter this season. I think we need an athletic DM for those games who can cover a lot of ground on transitions and also some pace in CB. Edited April 13 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I can't see anyone gambling on Wilson this window after such a bad run of injuries this season so if we bring in another forward it'll probs have to be another versatile one who can play across the frontline to a good level. I'm expecting one of Miggy/Murphy to go (probably the former), Minteh stays if we're in Europe + said versatile forward. We have to find more solutions to protect Isak if we're in for another busy schedule. I'm hoping we at least get one of Tosin/Kelly in to bolster defence for a relatively modest outlay. Tosin ticks a lot of boxes, Kelly looks a bit of a risk with his injuries. Hall will be much more in the first XI frame next season imo. That then leaves CM and GK. I feel like we've seen this season how important another strong goalie is. Pope has dislocated his shoulder more than once now iirc so it's a concern. CM feels relatively well stacked in terms of numbers, like, especially with Tonali back. Just can't see us getting another one in until someone else goes. Maybe Miley going on loan would trigger something, or someone going for Longstaff/Willock - this feels unlikely. Alternatively, we sign someone like MGW who can play in midfield or on the wing, should we need to move Gordon in the middle to help rotate Isak, but that feels far from ideal really.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Howe explicitly said early this season that he thought we had 3 players capable of playing the DM role, including Bruno. I'm assuming he was considering Tonali and Longstaff as this was a presser comment pre-Miley. Maybe he meant Joelinton over Longstaff though. Bruno Tonali Joelinton Longstaff Anderson Willock Miley + a couple of stand-in options. That's a decent number of players for 3 spots, and I also think we'll see some more variations of 2 men midfields next year as well. Personally, I think we need another reliable, quality addition in there but something has to give while we have to be efficient squad builders, imo.
