Hugill apparently signing for Palace.

Blimey, him, Woodburn and others all touted for us yesterday and now all going elsewhere !?
Where is the Doc’s cryptic messages to keep us well informed ?

I have a feeling we won't get a left back and Bruce is happy to play use Hutton and Taylor as his options there.

Perish the thought ! Hutts is a trier but left back he's left wanting in-between spaces /lines and of course limited on his left foot couple that with Jedinak on the left centre back there is too much opportunity for sides to exploits.

He ain't Ashley young so would be limited in the attacking sense.

That said Bree would do ok and seemed okay . Left back however is a concern and would hope another comes in

I don't know what Taylor problem is he's a specialist but gets caught out and has largely be found left wanting

Where do you see Bree as a left back or RDL paul-e ??

(Even God son Elmo was played there
And our man for all positions Bjarnasson both I would not like to play there )

There is even case of Albert being there as left wing back and I hope Green never has to go through that.

It's just fustrating to have imbalance (is that the word? Or unbalance) to squad and full back areas of so many right but little left.

Barry Douglas would have been ideal . Though he isn't outstanding defensively would have added dimensions.

Probably right Paul, especially in the short-term.  I think there are other areas of the side that would take priority in this transfer window.

Ahh the good old British slang ! I will use that one though for some reason I feel it sounds rude !

Sounds very cockney slang  is it meaning something wonky ? Like donkey ? But they aren't that unbalanced ?

I have never heard this word apart from in context to some commercial wonky pigeon.com ! I guess that is not so rude then !

Refs are a bit wonky right ? Referees a wonky !


What's a slang for balanced then ?
Or a footy slang term !

He's since suggested that Liverpool insert massive penalty clauses into their players' loan-contracts if the clubs don't give them enough games (as we all assumed Spurs had done with Onomah last season) and that's the reason he's off to Bramall Lane. Although he doesn't actually say if the clause put villa off, or if Woodburn chose them over us.

In terms of a striker, I'd much prefer Tammy Abraham to Hugill. Provides the same aerial threat, but has pace in addition. Scored a hatful for Bristol City in the Championship 2 seasons ago and would fit perfectly into the role that Grabban played for us last season, IMO.

Would have thought we would have looked at Woodburn if Jack moved on - I can still see Jack going closer to deadline with maybe Marcus Maddison from Peterborough coming in as a replacement for circa 5m - think like with Hugill he is a player Bruce highlighted when we played them last yr.
