DJFern94 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 For what it is worth, which may be very little. But Fifa 19 has him ranked the same as Wilson and Mount. Which would make him the second highest ranked player in the squad next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Does he play as one of 2 DMs or by himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen seem to prefer to play with 2 DMs, but they've played a number of games with him as the lone DM, so looks like he can do either. Most of the ones where he's in a 2 though place him alongside players that are more recognisably CMs, so it seems like a similar system to one that we've used a lot, where Holmes or Bryson have often filled a role that on paper places them next to Johnson or Huddlestone but with license to move up next to Mount or Wilson when necessary.

Leicester Ram Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Really like this, reminds of the good side of Nigel Clough. - entering his prime - from a lower (well a lesser) division so has something to prove - captain of his current side - low risk, fairly cheap Clough signed players like this a few times with the likes of Bryson, Shackell and kind of with Russell. That Johnny Russell interview from a few weeks back spoke about how the dressing room was just full of players itching to prove themselves and achieve something at Derby, there weren’t any egos. Chuck in a bit of talent and that became the foundation of a team that ended up being successful and deserved to be promoted. Let’s hope he’s more of a Bryson than a Chris Maguire though.

CWC1983 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 An honest hard working player who will give his all. Not a great talker on the pitch but leads by example. Be prepared for a lot of yellow cards, his tackling can be a bit reckless and his passing can blow hot or cold. He's not really a Defensive sitting midfielder, more a box to box type who can tackle. If Im being honest, there's a lot of people who say hes a better left back than midfielder. In his hayday, Brysons finishing and knowing when to arrive on the box is better than Greame's. Hopefully he has a cup winners medal in his pocket when he comes down in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Huddz, Shinnie and Holmes as starters with Evans and Bird as youngsters coming through in support. We'll probably look to get one more midfielder in on loan I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first bit got me juiced up but you then went on to describe an average player with no clear strengths... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
