JFK-1 1,675 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You're right about the CB situation. At some point Alves is either going to be injured or simply need a rest and right now we would be severely weakened without him. I agree with your Alves point but at this stage I expect them to be looking at starters rather than back up and we're just going to have to hope for the best when it comes to Alves. They're going to get the first 11 sorted and settled then maybe look at back up next window. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 We need a first choice left-sided player first and foremost IMO. To not sign one really does take a gamble with the balance of the team. like who ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,260 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 like who ? Ryan Gauld 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Haven't seen him play and don't know myself which was why I was asking wiki says he's played for Sporting's B team, been loaned out most of the time and he's got a buy out clause of 60 million euros...........they must have seen a lot in him ....there's a claim that they gave £3 million to Dundee Utd for him but I just don't believe it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,382 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ryan Gauld Ha! I just read that he has been playing LM in a 4-4-2 for a newly promoted Portuguese side on loan. I'd like to think PC knows about him, and I do think he's the type of player we should be targeting, but he's not a Left-winger; he's more a central-attacking-midfielder, like Windass and Kranjcar! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC 1 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I agree with your Alves point but at this stage I expect them to be looking at starters rather than back up and we're just going to have to hope for the best when it comes to Alves. They're going to get the first 11 sorted and settled then maybe look at back up next window.I think PC believes Wilson is back up for Alves this worries me a little as he has had a few bad mistakes in some of his games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,231 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've always said Wilson is a "bombscare" and have a lot of worries if there are any central defence injuries or suspensions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 like who ? Well, obviously Walker is the manager's preferred option and that may go down to the wire tomorrow night. He's not specifically a left midfielder (and is right footed) but I'd say he's more comfortable there than Windass, Pena or Kranjcar. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,416 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Is Nemane good enough to play in the 1st team?, he is a left winger isn't he? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 He is a left-winger and only time will tell how good enough he is I guess. I'd rather we have a player first-team ready who can really add balance and quality to our first XI. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
