Disappointing but as soon as the Sala tradegy struck I knew we wouldn't get what we wanted. Could we stay up? Yes. If we don't will I be massively gutted, no, life goes on.

If we go down. We get more games to watch! But I don't for a second think those players will give up

Doesn’t look like it.

Bacuna can fill in at midfield when someone is out, but I think we’ve signed him as a wing back.

Our midfield is terrible though and yes the Sala tragedy has knocked us for six, but we were always going to bring a midfielder in. Now I have to keep screaming at gunner every fukin game from now on :banghead:

Bacuna is a midfielder who can play right back if needed. He Mostly played midfield for Reading and Villa

So who covers him when he's covering someone at right back:lol: should have got a rightback over the line like we were always going to do.

People have this the wrong way around.

Bacuna is predominantly a midfielder not a right back. He can play right back as he is seen as a utility player.

Tbh not overly thrilled that we're signing a RB who's playing for a team in the Championship relegation zone and have offered him a 4 and half year contract when he was probably our 4th choice RB to sign, but I guess its better than watching Lee Peltier punt it aimlessly down the channel. Felt we really needed a CDM who can control games a bit better and keep possession and could give Gunnarsson a rest. In all honesty though this stuff should have been addressed in the summer and wasn't but all we can do is get behind the team and hope they can pull off a miracle.

There's a reason why he's a free agent - he is so slow and not much cop as my Mam would have said! :)
