DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 500k for what seems to be a top league 1 player, pretty good deal that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Makes sense if he’s similar to Mount. Give him a year as back up & then hopefully step up next season when Mount buggers off back to Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 On the Scunny forum I saw £600k, for which they were gutted. Apparently their best player. Interesting to see where he fits. Perhaps the end of Johnson in the squad, despite his cool new haircut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don’t see where he fits in myself so not particularly convinced as would rather have spent some money in centre mid... but we’ll see I guess, it’s hard to tell how a player will do until he arrives I think he will ultimately be used as a centre mid, he has played there a fair bit as well as wide right.

Bosshogg Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 This is an exciting signing. Made a habit of ripping teams apart particularly last season. My mate is a season ticket holder and thinks he’s the real deal. Nice end to the most exciting transfer window I can remember. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play wide but played as a number 10 behind a striker according to my mate who’s a big Scunny supporter. Probably can play in one of the attacking midfield roles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I've seen this player described as better as an attacking midfielder, despite him being more known for being a winger. Could it be that we view him as a Jesse Lingard or Alex Oxlade Chamberlain type player whereby when they were younger, they were more known to be natural widemen but they have now been moved to central midfield because their speed and dribbling is so good? We have more than enough widemen whereas the attacking midfield position is where we have the least depth. If we view Holmes as a midfielder then at least we'd have more depth there with Bryson, Mount, Johnson and Holmes as the advanced midfielders in the squad. Does anybody on this forum know what his workrate is like on the pitch because that would give us a better idea whether he is suitable as a central midfielder?
