THIS ELUSIVE WINGER

Sun Dec 18, 2011 2:58 pm

totally agree we need an out and out winger who will beat defenders and get crosses into the box but off the top of my head ,i cant think of a realistic target for january,im not too keen on bringing in a lad from the prem whos heart wont be in it either.It really is a difficult situation for malky
any ideas?

Is Adam Hamill getting any game time at Wolves?

Worth a loan maybe.

Raheem Sterling, young kid at Liverpool looks the business.

Anyone. ANYONE but Conway.

If people want an out and out winger then we will need two and a change in formation.

Because we don't play with any out and out wingers ATM :?
It would change the entire shape of the team

Not really. Conway plays wide, he just dont do anything with it.

He doesn't really he tucks right inside. He does try to give width but I would never say he is played as a out and out winger. Could he play that role? I'd say maybe.

No need for him to tuck inside when we play 3 in the centre of midfield. For me that formation should only be played away from home.

We need to be more positive at home. Even the games we won at home recently were more down to a set piece, or defensive errors. Bristol City aside we have not taken any of the home games by the scruff of the neck.

Kind of agree depending on the game but I think we would need someone new to play alongside miller

i rate conway quite highly but the stand out fact is he simply does not run at players and i cant really understand it to be honest i think hes more than capable of doing so

ive heard kebe mentioned but why would reading let one of their standout players go to a championship rival,even if they have to give him a big payrise

hammill is a squad player at wolves and will not be loaned out

Did you see the Birmingham game? Burke had enough time to do his own laces as he did nothing all game.

id like to see us have a go for jon bostock from spurs... hasnt featured much at all this yr..

Re: THIS ELUSIVE WINGER

Sun Dec 18, 2011 5:11 pm

Again, not sure how much he is playing at Celtic, but James Forrest would be great, if only on a loan deal!

Re: THIS ELUSIVE WINGER

Mon Dec 19, 2011 1:28 am

we need two wingers. Cowie is a right midfielder and im not sure on Conway any more he dont seem like a winger most of the time.

We need Kebe, Templeton, Driver, Ryo Michayi i think it is from Arsenal hes fast!

at least 2 of them i put up! :ayatollah:

Decent player at your level. Did very well for us until he missed a couple of pens which resulted in him losing confidence.

Plenty of pace and creative too. If you don't want him I'm sure some other Championship side will take him in Jan.

Re: THIS ELUSIVE WINGER

Mon Dec 19, 2011 2:28 am

I certainly dont, and never been impressived with him and his attitude seems to stink.

Why would we want a Jack? He's nothing special anyway.

Where's Weiss at these days? Is he back at Rangers? Think his name was mentioned at the start of the season?

Re: THIS ELUSIVE WINGER

Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:06 am

I'm not convinced that Conway has a good enough left-foot to play on that flank. I would like to see him play on the right-hand side where he could hug the touchline more, rather than cut in.

I agree with 2blue that we play a narrow game but it had worked well up until this Saturday.

On loan to some in La Liga.

a cheap option would be andrew driver at hearts. had a few bad injuries so clubs might be reluctant to go for him. he's finished at hearts after telling them he no longer wants to play for them. he'll be gone in january.

a fresh start with a manager like MM (providing he passes a medical) would get the best out of him. before his injury he was one of the most exciting players in scotland.
