DCFC27 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Rooney Knight Holmes Beliek Huddlestone Shinnie Sibley Lawrence Evans Bird etc is Midfield the most balance and full of depth position we now have? We seem to have 2 good players for each role. Rooney makes it significantly stronger but if one gets injured I don’t feel like it would weaken us too much especially on today’s performance. Transfers should be CBs wingers and strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 From injury ravaged bare bones to a wealth of options in such a short space of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Think with Rooneys addition it’s now maybe the one position where we’re properly promotion quality. Still early days with the new look midfield, but it’s looking far far more positive than a couple of months ago in that area. So far Rooney looks to still be the best player in the division, and players like Bird are showing real early promise. Hopefully they keep it up, and then backed up by the likes of Huddlestone, Shinnie and Sibley, we’ll have a proper quality midfield, with good depth too. Definitely not on the transfer agenda for me now. Think GK, CBs and a Winger are the priorities for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 If all fit It will be horses for courses but mainly Rooney Huddlestone and Knight currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Knight, bird and sibley are like three new signings. i'm still hoping to see (bird), knight and sibley together rooney playing deeper seems to work. (He'll do until we can get hughesy back ?) we still lack wingers but in the meantime....... Roos bogle. Davies. Clarke. Lowe . Bird. Rooney holmes. Knight. Sibley Marriott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 DM - Bielik, Huddlestone, Bird, Evans, Thorne. CM - Rooney, Holmes, Shinnie, Knight, Sibley Plenty of depth there, although we may see Holmes and Knight feature on the wings from time to time so slightly light in the more advanced midfield positions. I also doubt we’ll see much of Thorne or Evans, but that won’t have much impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 After the departure of Johnson, Mount and Wilson I was worried about the balance and battling qualities of our midfield. Fast forward a few months and with the youngsters stepping up and the inclusion of Rooney then we looked well stocked with a good blend of talent. Midfield is no longer the urgent position to solve this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfs1ram Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yes amazing how only a few weeks ago we were desperate for midfielders ! Maybe we could sell Bielik for £10m ? or do we now look to play him at centre back ? Nice to have the choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Bird, Knight and Sibley higher up the pecking order than Huddlestone and Shinnie for me. Huddlestone, Shinnie, Evans and Lawrence leaving between now and the end of this summer transfer window. I would contemplate offering Huds a player/coach contract with a considerably reduced wage for a year. The squad we are developing is very versatile. Means in the future we won't have to have such a massive squad and countless players earning too much for nothing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benrahma - 0.7, 0.2 and 0.7 Diangana - 1.1, 0.4 and 0.6 Sean Maguire - 1.4, 0.3 and 1 Routledge - 0.8, 0.3, 1.1 3 top 6 wingers and another in the top half, and none of them directly contribute more defensively than Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
