The Sun on Sunday reporting us Millwall and Luton battling to sign him, 23 year old battling midfielder whose out of contract this summer.
competition for places can only be a good thingDoes the squad need another midfield player can he play at right full back?
Just about to post the same thing, well said.Some of our fan base are still struggling to shake off the Oyston hangover!
We are trying to build a squad, the manager generally picks two combative midfielders so adding at least one more is going to be vital.
As for the right back situation I would expect us to sign at least two players who can do that job.
We'd be better off playing Virtue at right back. Box to box player with good distribution.Does the squad need another midfield player can he play at right full back?
So like Gabriel then!If you watch him on his videos he,s not a defensive midfielder.
Lionel Messi is 5’ 7”…Only 5 foot 7 - if there is one thing we do lack in midfield it's height and a 5'7" player ain't the answer!!
think he was only 5 foot 5 and was awesome for usNothing wrong with being short, David Vaughan was tremendous, also around 5.7
We need 3 players per position and 3 or 4 that can play in a variety of positionsSome of our fan base are still struggling to shake off the Oyston hangover!

Hiya Chunky, polite reminderWe need 3 players per position and 3 or 4 that can play in a variety of positions
Appreciate that, but 25 is your playing squad and you need more than that in the full squad to cover season long injuries etc. That’s why I say 3 players per position (3rd one can be utility player like Turton was)Hiya Chunky, polite reminder
Maximum squad number 25
Unlimited under 21's if on the clubs books
loaned players of any age ( including under 21's) count towards squad number of 25
Stewart and Dougall both look about 6 foot to me!Only 5 foot 7 - if there is one thing we do lack in midfield it's height and a 5'7" player ain't the answer!!

I just about remember watching Ernie at BR. Yes, he was a great player for us. Love the Green headline!What about Ernie Taylor 5' 4"?
A great player for Blackpool.
After Newcastle Utd had given Pool the run-around in the 1951 FA Cup Final Stan Matthews said to Joe Smith (Pool Manager) that he would like Taylor in the team.
On 10th October that year Taylor was bought for £25,000.
He was fantastic. I remember a Green headline after Pool beat them 2-0.

He's crap anyway.....Too short!!!!
Brazil, just remembered, it should have been 'Tiny Taylors TRICKS Tantalise Tynesiders.'I just about remember watching Ernie at BR. Yes, he was a great player for us. Love the Green headline!
That would be around £800,000 in today's money - rather ambitious spending six years after the war.What about Ernie Taylor 5' 4"?
