Thats something that has happened and probably will happen again, just hope its only if we dont have Inniss or Oshilaja0 -

Feels like a replacement for Levitt in terms of him being an energetic midfielder who can sit and pass the ball around. I really don't know much about him so it's hard to say what role he'll play but it sounds like he was doing really well at Swindon. He looks like he's 8 years old though

Just a reminder, this thread is all about the chatter around speculation of signings and departures. Once it happens, like the Smith announcement or Wiredu confirming his departure, it would be much more helpful to take the discussion of those into separate defined threads. Cheers10

Shinnie and Morgan and indeed JFC all like to pass the ball forward, so it's hardly a weakness in our team at the moment

Its not just about playing those who can cover - If the only Centre-Backs available are worse than Pratley there, why bother for the sake of it?21 -

What centre back would want to sign for us in the bases of being 4th/5th choice?8

I kind of make Bowyer right on the CB situation. Once again that Cap makes that position hard. Can we really afford 5 CB’s?
I know you can say the same about our midfield and signing Smith, and to an extent I do think that’s a little strange. But our back line, when they are fit, are better balanced than our midfield.
I think it’s a gamble from Bowyer, and one that could backfire should Famewo and Inniss both break down again. It’s a tough spot.9 -

Smyth at RWB and Matthews at LB are examples of where Bowyer has got this wrong.
Gunter however has steadily improved at RCB, helped by a currently in form Oshilaja and neither Pearce or Pratley playing alongside him. Matthews is more than an adequate replacement at RB. What we have currently is apparently better than what we can afford to get from elsewhere.4 -
I still think two more midfielders could sign today!1
-
Another centre back would also push Barker further down the pecking order, would rather give him a chance than an unproven youngster from elsewhere2

Although in terms of those already here wont be surprised if Shinnie joins us on a permanent basis0 - Sponsored links:

“Akin is coming back and it would be silly for us to bring someone in who is not as good as what we’ve got already. It would be a waste of time.'
Can you not apply that logic to the signing of another young, center midfielder on loan?

It would be great to see more games from a midfielder like the one at the Valley v Oxford.
Shinnie produced 2 moments that won us the game. The excellent bit of play to control/play Washington through for the 1st and a free kick goal for the second.0 -

We will soon put a stop to that.
Disappointing to hear his battery doesn't run out at 60mins.4 -
