duncanjwitham Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Baird made his Reading debut against us at Pride park, playing as a holding midfielder, and was absolutely fantastic. I'd be plenty happy if we signed him as Thorne cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Bridcutt would be an outstanding signing - he'd be my pick too.Baird offers what Eustace gave, maybe Bridcutt for what Mascarell gave?This is what I was thinking. Not unrealistic that we can get both because it's still only june Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we got Mascarell was to cover Thorne's injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thorne is the Mascarell replacement. The only reason we got Mascarell was to cover Thorne's injury.What if Thorne gets injured again? We will only have 1 backup defensive midfielder again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stedcfc Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 What if Thorne gets injured again? We will only have 1 backup defensive midfielder again.We probably get somebody in on loan.Have we even been linked to Bridcutt? Not sure where thats come from?

duncanjwitham Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 What if Thorne gets injured again? We will only have 1 backup defensive midfielder again.There's absolutely no point in carrying 2 backups, for the whole season, for a position we will only ever use one of at a time. We can pretty much go and get a player in on loan at any point, so if we get an injury we go and get someone. Otherwise we are literally paying someone who we never ever intend to even include in the match-day squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Well that's a CDM back-up sorted. I'm sure he'll do a job if called upon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement said that we are going to play a variety of different formations so 3 defensive midfielders will be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Argh. Every signing means I want the season to start now.. Still 8 weeks away! That shirt looks even better every time too!Good coverage signing. In his own words, anywhere along the back four or holding mid. James O'Connor was the last one of those...

Sexydadbod Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I still think we will need another defensive mid because I don't think Thorne will play more than 15 games next season if you look at his injury record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
