I like playing Bacuna at right back. It's exciting. Stick Richards centre-half.

I'm honestly not sure what I think about this one. If/when it happens, I'll be very interested to hear whether TS sees him as a full-back or a centre-back. Hoepfully it's the former, as I'm still nto convinced that either Hutton or Bacuna are the long-term answer in that position. If it's as a centre-back I'll be moer sceptical, as we already have 3 injury-prone options there (4 if Ron stays).

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that Sherwood has mentioned, so might use, the 3-5-2 formation, so Richards might very well be the right side of that three.

Bacuna's an exciting player going forward. Defensively, it's not so much excitement as terror.

Probably a good signing. I imagine he will be a big personality in the dressing room. Ideal in the tub thumping Tim era.

An interesting enough interview.

Not sure if this has been posted up (couldn't see it) but this is another decent interview with him from Football Focus. Obviously ignore the goal he got against us at the end.



I think he'd certainly be an improvement on what we have and I like how he comes across. He obviously wants to play regular football and has matured as a person/footballer judging from these interviews. He must be pretty determined/focused/desperate to play regularly to be willing to give up the beauty and weather of Florence. That speaks volumes to me. Big wages aside I hope he signs. I think he'd do well for us and be a good fit.

I was trying to remember when that was.  If I recall correctly it was a Sunday night FA Cup game and his late equaliser took it to a replay.  Houllier era?

O'Leary. They battered us entire match but we took lead against run of play with about ten mins to go. Naturally we threw it away at the end and got tanked in the replay. Baros got our goal.

It's what you get with a Bosman but it clearly can cause problems of the McCarthy sort unless they're obviously a cut above
