Russell though his lack of technical ability shows a lot more on the wing, maybe it is time for a bit more quality in that position rather than a workhorse like Russell Go watch Russell's first goal vs Bolton (H) last season, and then tell me again how he lacks technical ability...

A good coach such as Pearson might be able to get consistency out of Russell which is his only real issue because not many can deny he's a good footballer?

Animal is a Ram Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Difference between Championship and Premier League wingers. But even they blow hot and cold faster than a dodgy hand-dryer. It's just the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes has 3rd highest tackles/game ratio in our team, only Olsson and Thorne (just) in front of him. So basicly Hughes does that well too. Heading ability would be bigger problem with Bryso-Hughesy. (and Thorne, Butters, Hanson, Baird etc..) Those stats are from Whoscored.com, but have to say I was suprised that Hughes wasn't topping tackling stats. Jeez... That's actually true... Hughes tackles? Is there anything he can't do? WHY WASN'T HE IN FRANCE?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell simply blows hot or cold. When he's on form, he's brilliant; but when he's off his game, he tends to be fairly anonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow him more closely , he quite often ends his run with tackle. But good question, maybe almost whole season injured caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that someone running down the wing and aimlessly whipping it into the box is the type of service he needs when it's not what he's ever needed before. Really? I think that role hold-up man role works well for the team but I was talking about Martin himself. Thought that was clear. Yes. it suits the system we've tended to favour since he's been here to pay balls to feet and have runners off him but against the better sides who can nullify him with back to goal, there's been no 'plan b' and it's cost us. Burnley, Boro et al. Maybe you see it differently? As to your comment of never having had service from out wide, have a look at the following and count how many of his 48 goals have come from crosses because I'm not sure we're talking about the same player! He seems to like a decent cross enough to me Either way, I think you'll find Pearson wanting to deploy wingers so we'll soon see eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsPolls Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Callum Mcmanaman. Will he be good enough for us? Personally I think so. Fast, Pacy and aggressive. Him + Ince on either wing would be leathal at this level. but would he be a good investment if we get into the premier league. I'm not so sure.

CastletonRam Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Like the look of McManaman. Has that grit and aggression which we we lacking last season. With all respect to Ince he's a bit of a lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, heard West Brom want £6m but highly doubt we will pay that for a failed prem winger. We are interested in him. I think the Matt Phillips to West Brom deal could lower his price as he will then be surplus requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was good enough WBA would have used him a heck of a lot more and not just a two minute sub - if he was a free transfer then maybe but forking out a lot then wages would bother me as I don't really like what I have seen of him, but we will see.

deanoakaram4life Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Would definitely take mcmanaman! Fast, old fashioned winger who loves to whip it in! With him in our team we would be a considerable force next year. Seems to be a player with all the attributes Pearson likes..... Get him in Sam!
