Player Suggestion Will Smallbone

[Blade56]

No chance now Philips has signed

 

[LiamBG]

Won’t be us will it, all our fucking squad is home grown

 

[NathTheBlade]

Don’t need him, only go for him if peck leaves

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Still sign him if possible

Very high upside free transfer

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Our transfer activity is making my Willy a very small bone.

 

[S64 Blade]

Quite surprised PL clubs interested given his injury record and lack of games there.

It’d make sense if we were interested though .

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Skysports linking us with him

Along with Cardiff and Burnley. Presumably Derby want him too

 

[Houso]

I mean, he's a good signing on a free for a club who need a central midfielder.

That's obviously not us.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I see us having far too little of the ball with the options we've got

 

[Hallamboy87]

We dont need another CM!!!!

 

[Yogi]

Can he play further forward as a 10?

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Mikey Allen and Jamie Gotland scouting is top notch

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Can he play further forward as a 10?

Not really. But he's a playmaker of the sort we don't have. Bit like Coutts. Would give us more possession and control of the game

 

[mattbianco1]

Can he play further forward as a 10?

Transfermarkt suggests that's his 2nd most favoured position

 

[Vass Borbokis]

If It keeps Rothwell out of the team, I'm in favour of this.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[bertieblade]

Where do these journalists get such pin point information

 

[Gin&Juice]

probably had a word, a little chinwag

 

[dc_blade]

Monitoring. Keeping tabs on.

 

[LiamBG]

A player I’ve always liked but he’s not a like for like for O’Hare is he? Always thought of him as a deeper ball playing Norwood type?

 

[SUFCScorecard]

No thanks. We don't need another CM. We don't need more panic buys filling up the squad and restricting strategic recruitment in the next windows.

I'd much rather see Arblaster get minutes.

 

[Chief_Froley]

As said already he's played no10 a few times (including while he was on loan at Millwall last season before his injury).

For me that isn't the issue though, he played the same amount of games as Tom Davies last year (10) which fills me with no confidence whatsoever.

 

[acko17]

no more midfielders ffs

 

[GrunkyPeep]

Wilder when he's asked which CM he wants to sign.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Will - Small - Bone

Classic Wilder names

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Will - Small - Bone

Classic Wilder names

Don't post things like that. Our owners will think we're getting 3 midfielders.

Never seen much of him actually play but 20 goals and assists in 64 games as an AM isn’t bad output.

 

[sportsmanblade]

No more injury prones, dunno how we can justify wages.

 

[Champagneblade]

No thanks. We don't need another CM. We don't need more panic buys filling up the squad and restricting strategic recruitment in the next windows.

I'd much rather see Arblaster get minutes.

I don’t see why we’re so desperate to add another wage just to play 4-2-3-1.

It’s not some miracle system that we absolutely have to play upon pain of death!

Given how open we have been the last two games despite the encouraging start of the first few, 4-3-3 would give us the extra solidity that 2 in the middle obviously isn’t.

With Donovan, Chong, Brereton-Diaz, Oné, Bamford, Cannon and Campbell you don’t look short of numbers at all.

In fact if you’re favouring 3 in midfield, then having Peck, Phillips, Rothwell, Arblaster, Jairo and Choudhury doesn’t look to be excessive anymore.

If little Jamie stays fit and plays like he did when he came on the other night and old Doc can start registering the minutes then even without Seriki and Burrows we look better balanced.

Start trying to crowbar a 10 in there where we don’t have or signing just one then it just makes it complicated.

Say we sign Smallbone and he gets injured, which let’s face it, is likely, what happens to the formation then?
