January Transfer Window Rumours/Suggestions/Hearsay/Heresy/Horseplay

[Dave]

We need two midfielders and a right back.

I agree. Two midfielders and a right back.

[Tuscans]

McCormack is not a lone striker.  Until we play 2 up and find a system to accommodate that he's going to look pretty rubbish.

Agreed. McCormack scored a bucket load of goals last season alongside Dembele in a piss poor Fulham side

While Kodjia away why not play him alongside Flabby and see what happens? Has to be better than Flabby or Ross up front on their own...

This to me is the problem.  Bruce is very reluctant to start with 2 out and out strikers.  I think he has done so once (Burton) where he went 4411.  RM had a decent game that day and I was impressed with his work rate after he dropped deeper in the closing stages as we held onto our slender lead.

I think that Norwich will be far more suited to him and letting him go there could boost a potential promotion rival next season.  I see him scoring regularly, when played in a 442 or 4411.

I personally quite like McCormack.  He has drawn the short straw since Bruce has taken over but is still good to be able to bring on from the bench.  I wouldn't be overly upset as to whether he stays or goes.  He's a great squad player but I can't see him being a regular starter under Bruce.  If we can get 10-12 million for him, or a replacement of similar value, it could also work well.

Ideally, I'd like to sell Ayew and keep McCormack.  I really like Ayew but I have just about reached a point where I feel he wouldn't be missed.  We've waited half a season for him to impose himself yet as we speak, he has generally failed to do so.  At what point do you cut your losses?

You can play them all....it's what's behind them that's the problem.

I agree. Two midfielders and a right back.

Two midfielders and a right back. Needed.

[JJ-AV]

We need two midfielders and a right back.

I agree. Two midfielders and a right back.

And a centre-forward for me.

I'd say centre-forward is off paramount importance.

[Zouch Villa]

We need two midfielders and a right back.

I agree. Two midfielders and a right back.

And a centre-forward for me.

I'd say centre-forward is off paramount importance.

We need a quality replacement for Hutton, one for Westwood with more attacking ability, and a midfield leader who can combine the better attributes of Jedinak and Gardner but play week in week out.

So, erm, that's a right back and two midfielders.

Can we do another punathon now...

Just to be contrary, I think we need a right back and two midfielders.

Partly true.  With the best midfield in the world though, McCormack is still going to have limitations as a lone striker or the wide one of the 3.

Just to be contrary, I think we need a right back and two midfielders.

I don't wish to be argumentative but I I think we definitely need two midfielders and a right back

yes I hope we can FARM out one of our mid FIEld ers

[Clark W Griswold]

What, quite frankly, amazes me is that no one else on this message board seems to grasp that we need 2 midfielders and a right back.

[VILLA MOLE]

i think we need a midfielder a right back and another midfielder to finish off , obviously

[Ads]

You're all ****** and I will put my fists upon you.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

Can we have two right backs and a midflelder

Thats just the hay it is

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If Bacuna drops back to right back would we need 3 midfielders?

[PeterWithesShin]

Two midfielders and a right back please. The B side of 'Two Pints'.
