Oddly he'd be the best fit of any of the strikers we had last season for the new Lampard System - Energetic, high pressing, likes to get in behind the defence, good with his feet, good passer, quick...

flamin Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 think he would be a good partner for our jack , waghorn is going to cost too much , think he would fit in well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 If Leeds get Barry Douglas, Tom Pearce who we were allegedly linked with as part of the Vydra deal would become their 3rd choice LB, could be worth revisiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because I wouldn’t want to pin our hopes on Lowe with his fitness record. He has the ability for sure. Bird isn’t a LB I don’t think. Douglas and Lowe battling for the number 1 spot would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be picky here but Bird looked quite understandably a little out of his depth against Coventry. Not criticising him as he's only 16 but he's not someone to rely on this season I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think we will see Olsson play for the first team again, coming back from a major injury & out of contract, could see a mutual agreement to release him in Jan if he is close to being fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only suggesting him as a backup option at this stage for the odd game. I guess a lot depends on Lowe staying fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because they have both proven themselves at this level or similar on a regular basis, Lowe has been injury prone and only played regularly at a lower level. Plus Mount & Wilson are on a different level to Lowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernRam Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It's not often you get the option to sign one of the league's best in their position, and Barry Douglas is just that. Exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what we need. We've tried to buy our way to the top, we're supposed to be about bringing youth through as well as buying. Lowe and Fozzie should be enough, they're both good LBs and Lowe could be very good - but if we don't play him we'll not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
