The issue is I think we’ve passed that stage - both have waited and indeed had better offers.
And Brady is?
Are you saying Christie isn't an athlete?
Not for the wing back role. Very decent defensively but no end product according to a Plastic mate
Would much prefer Christie over Nyambe
Agreed. Keen on Christie, really hope we get it done
Mostly shite but starting to panic
With all the negativity at the moment with a number of posts.
I dont actually think he is good defensively as he is often out of position.....caught out not getting back....
Then that'll mean he's soft as shit, with no backbone, which I very much doubt is the case. Not a chance he gives a crap about what is posted on here.
no one is negative about RL.... we've had a succession of managers who never got to work with their 1st choice players. this summer we hoped it would be different but, apart from woodman, its beginning to look familiar. we lost 3 prem players and the outfield players are not yet replaced.
Sorry u and a few others would never be happy with what players we bring to the club.
It certainly does. Too play and be effective in the Championship you need certain criteria such as athleticism, mobility and pace...which seem to have been missing from our transfer policy in recent years.The wing backs are critical too make Lowe's system function. In addition we know this role is probably one of the hardest (if performed effectively) in his system in terms of fitness, athleticism, lung power etc. We need fit, athletic, robust WBs who can get up and down, with pace and also provide quality in final 3rd. Fill ins and make do's are a recipe for disaster. Brady talented player that he is does not meet Lowe's criteria for a WB in his system. I addition he has a terrible recent injury record (when will we learn lessons). Where is Brady going to play? Lowe wants two for each position. Let's not sign players who don't fit. We are still stito offload some of thosr. Yes we have budget constraints and can't attract the best of the best. (Loans are the best way to bring quality in for certain niche positions and even those are challenging with our budget). However if we can't get the quality required in those fundamental positions then Lowe has to change his system to match his budget....(he is not in league 1 or 2 anymore). Bringing in players not ideally suited to WB is a waste of time. I would much prefer a 4-3-1-2 system. We could sign FBs more easily and we have back ups in the squad already and we would need a quality CB but these are easier to source than 2x WBs. Whichever system we would need a couple of strikers anyway.
What signings are we not judging?
