Eoghan1884 Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Must say, whenever I seen him I thought he was excellent and to be honest a Warne type player, strong and fast aswell as being able to play centre back, right back and in midfield. He is 6 foot 3 and very solid defensively. He has 2 years left on his contract but since fleetwood are now in league two Iβm not sure how much heβd cost. At just 24 he certainly has a lot of upside.

The article says he has 1 year left on his deal but Transfermarkt says it runs until 2026. Cant say I know much about him but from your description he does sound like the sort we could do with.

A lot of league one pages and fleetwood fans did think theyβd lose him to a top top L1 team or bottom half champ team when they were relegated. Maybe he has 1 year with an option.

Ghost of Clough Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Makes a lot of sense. The only downside is him being very weak in the air. It ties in with Nelson playing as the central CB in a couple of the pre-season friendlies too. Excellent in 1v1s and likes to drive forward on the ball. Seems to be what Warne wants from the wide CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If we want someone for the centre of a back three, then someone who can also play CDM is a bonus. It'll mean he can move forward in transition. Wiredu seems alright on the ball, has a decent range of passing, has good pace and has the physical attributes we need. I think he'd be a good option. He's now playing in League 2 so I don't think he'd cost a massive amount, and at 24 years of age he'd give us a strong chance of making a profit when he does move on.

DCFC1388 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) I wonder if we could maybe send Brown there on loan as part of the deal. I would imagine they will be top end of League 2.

Eoghan1884 Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Looking at Wiredu I compared his stats last season to Nelson and Cashin. We averages 51% possession compared to fleetwoods 46.1% and Wiredu played a few games in midfield to start the season so stats will be slightly skewed. Took all stats from opta. Succesful tackles p90 Wiredu came in at 2.16 compared to Cashins 1.6 and Nelsonβs .93. In clearances Wiredu had 3.22 p90 with 1.43 headed clearances p90 Cashin came in with 5.13 clearances and a big 3.35 headed clearances. Nelson slightly less with 4 clearances p90 and 2.39 headed clearances. This shows how Wiredu needs to work on heading definitely something that can be coached considering his size and athleticism.Β Β Interception wise Wiredu averaged 1.90 per 90 which beats Cashins 1.65 and Nelsonβs 1.13.Β Β Looking at these stats heβd be perfect as a right centre back on the right with Nelson moving into the centre. To back this up also Wiredu averaged 2.4 successful long balls a game and Nelson only averages 2.22. Cashins 5.02 blows both out of the water but Wiredu certainly is comfortable on the ball hence the reason he played in midfield multiple times.Β Β DiggerB, r_wilcockson, jono and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surely the prime age for a striker with pace, power and an eye for goal to burst onto the scene. Why on earth can't we give him a chance to make his mark with us? We need to give him game time before the end of the month to properly be able to make that call.

DBrown isn't yet a Championship reguaor forward. The question to ask is: will he get there quicker by playing regularly in L1, or the occasional sub appearance for us. When it finally clicks for Dajaune, he'll be an absolute monster. Currently, I feel he's lacking that arrogance/confidence which Cashin essentially referred to 2 years ago. He doesn't yet feel like he belongs at that level. A short (6 month) loan to L1, would be enough to pave the way from him being a very goof NL forward to being an effective Championship forward.

Because from what I have seen of him he isnt good enough yet to be playing in the Champ, I think he would even struggle top end of League 1. Preseason was his chance to impress & imo he didnt do enough. We're not in a position to give a 19 year old a chance in the hope he may come good, this season we need to make sure we stay up first & foremost. Also, putting him in before he is ready could damage him more than help him. Comrade 86, FlyBritishMidland, MACKWORTHRAM and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
