And the other 20% could add real quality over 20-30 games.

 

Someone like, I don't know, Ryan Jack? Maybe?  

he adds quality from the treatment table.

Stuart McCall must have headered the ball bit I can’t remember it.

Great minds, I was about to use him as an example!. This is where stats can be unhelpful, McCall may not have won a huge amount of aerial duels, but you didn't have a free header if he was marking you, this makes a huge difference. We have many examples of great midfielders that you wouldn't say were dominant in the air, Albertz, Tugay, Ferguson, Reyna to name but a few....

Are we about to see our second signing with  Diomande ? Got no sources as the sources I get it from are S@&t  DR and the ☀️ 🤣🤣 let’s hope a few more can exit also or it’s just going to be the same old injuries till the end of the next window. Let’s give the young ones a go Lyall especially 🤜🏼♥️🤍💙

In a nutshell. Sometimes it’s better not to win the header so long as the other guy doesn’t get an easy go at it.

The way modern football is played, I don't think there's much need for midfielders to be particularly good at heading the ball.  

 

What bothers me far more is tackling being a dying art.

He’s gone on loan to Airdrie.

Bailey Rice is another. Beale said he was 'absolutely ready.' Been on a the bench a few times.

Just in case people haven't seen his stats.

Beale is down there with our worst ever managers and already on a shoogly peg at Sunderland, after only a couple of months.
