Ram1988 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 3 hours ago, Ghost of Clough said: Wilks would make sense. Did very well for Hull in L1 but struggle for form in the Championship last season. Another who can play across the front three positions, mostly RW. Competition for NML, leaving Barkhuizen and Dobbin to battle it out on the left. Left footed too, so offers something different to our other wide players. Harrison is a RB, so we probably don't think Oduroh is ready yet. A right back surely is a must? allow Knight to play further up the field.

Bird, Hourihane, Smith, Tommo, McGoldrick and Sibley for the 3 Central positions. Knight will just fill in where needed as he always does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 It pains me to say it, but the best RB free agent in the country is Cyrus Christie Wolfie20, rammieib, GB SPORTS and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTom92 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Despite Christie being nowhere near as good as he believes he is, in our current situation he would be a great signing. Unsure how nobody in the championship hasn't picked him up to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK-Ram Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Christie would be perfect for this team - if he would come then we could do a lot worse. Looks like he has just left Birmingham City after a trial there, so surely it won't be long until he either has to look to L1 or overseas... It is criminal that we have one of the best talents in this league in Knight and are playing him way out of position.

Ambitious Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I would take Christie back, given our position and requirement, but the guy does struggle to kick a football in a straight line. I'm not overly surprised that he hasn't found a club yet in the Championship, but definitely could do a job in League 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that we wont be signing him. January 2025? Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 We need a RB who's comfortable splitting his time during games filling in as a ball-playing CM & getting back in position at RB to defend. It's a role requiring good positional sense, a decent level of footballing intelligence and a willingness to work hard for the team. Cyrus Christie, perfect, really? I mean, really really? Really? Really? rammieib and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Not sure we're going to find that player this window with our restrictions. So LR may have to compromise on that masterplan and settle for a right back thats prepared to fly past the wide man and over hit a cross out for a goal kick 8 times out of 10.

Oldben Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Eli Dasa The 29 year old Israel national team captain, may be another unfamiliar name. Dasa has shown creativity for Maccabi Tel Aviv and Vitesse Arnhem. He had 20 assists in 90 appearances for the Dutch and can play right-back or full-back. He hasn't played in England, but he's been good for much of his career, so perhaps we should consider this free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 What strikers are out there? I reckon we could do with one more to give us a choice. I'm not seeing many realistic options left on the free agents list... so a youngster on loan might be our best bet? Dan Jebbison from Sheff Utd? Brad Young from Villa? George Hirst from Leicester? Jude Soonsup-Bell from Chelsea?... All young players with good reputations that could benefit from regular first-team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
