Was at times covering every blade of grass mate and the only one in the centre of the park snapping into tackles. Common theme on this forum is downgrading of players who have left too.

Him and bielik was possibly the best midfield we’d had in years, but only played about ten games together.

Bird and hourihane certainly more talented footballers but it doesn’t really click with the two in cm. They feel too similar. shinnie would be a huge upgrade on Thompson.

Really?? A slight exaggeration considering a year before we had Mount and Johnson bossing the midfield with Wilson just in front of them. Shinnie is solid. Nothing more or less. A good pro who I’m sure would do a job. But, I think other areas need strengthening first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, I'd deffo have him back, but I'd acknowledge that we do need a CB, a LB and perhaps another winger too. Woodley Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Dunno what the urgency is to get multiple players in this transfer window, we won't threaten the Top 2 this season and we have enough to make 5th or 6th place with the squad we currently have.

We won't if there's not a sensible deal or two to be made, but right now we have an injury free squad, which can't be guaranteed for the balance of the season and the gaffer has already said he wants more bodies in this month.

In 20/21, when he was the 'right' side of 30? When our CM options were limited to just Shinnie and Bird. Bielik was injured, Knight and Sibley were played on the wings, Holmes and Evans had been sold. We're now overflowing in that department. Shinnie is also still a regular in the Wigan matchday squad. Why would they let him leave for free, even if they get a replacement in? 3 hours ago, AshfieldRam said: Shinnie always used to be a left back… maybe getting another option in for there? No. He hasn't been a regular at LB for 7 years and hasn't played there since moving to England, except for filling in during an emergency during games.

And to reply to your second point Plymouth were a class above us when they beat us at PP. Ipswich also looked a more accomplished team when we got beat by then at Portman Road.
