Sounds like both of us dodge the bullet there. I wonder who the next lucky team will be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkPockets Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I am absolutely here for this kind of signing. Either gonna set the heather on fire or play 2 games and never be heard from again. Dont even care if hes another midfielder, we only have 2 good ones anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Have you actually seen Andreu play recently? He struggled to last 20 minutes with us and was miles away from the creative attacking player we all remember from Hamilton. Used sparingly, he'll have an impact from the subs bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 We are obviously loading the team with French lads so Giroud will feel at home when Roy signs him at the end of the window. Smart strategy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let a man dream please. The highland air will bring him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean I'm giving him a pretty negative review but he's certainly not terrible, just underwhelming. Maybe we (as in Saints fans) had a higher expectation for him and maybe Hughes can get more out of him that Goodwin did.

What it is his best position? playing as a 10? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's where we'd all play him if we were on Football Manager, but the truth is I just don't know now. He was tried as a 10 as a striker, as a winger and even deeper in the midfield and aside from the odd flash of his previous quality, no position really suited him. Could that be Goodwin's instructions? Could that be the tactics/formation we were playing? Could that be him having a bad season? He had nearly 30 appearances, albeit a lot as sub, so it's not like he wasn't given a chance but he only chipped in 2 goals and iirc only set up a couple. As I say, maybe Hughes has a very specific role for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by what we've played so far under Hughes we don't seem to have an actual 10 in our system. Confusing signings but at this point we need good players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Never heard of this lad, but glad we're keeping up the tradition of just signing midfielders and ignoring every other part of the team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcfc fan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Need a left back , centre back , winger and striker now ideally , unless Hughes sees draper as being able to play centre half like he has done in the past 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggie52 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 This looks like we’re signing squad players, the sort you would sign if you had a temporary shortage. What we really need is a couple of players that would improve the quality rather than the numbers. I think Naismith is in that category but I don’t see these three are. Of course I could be wrong. I hope I am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am. Almost as if they’re making a token effort at avoiding relegation. With the exception of Naismith, and the very very possible exception of Charles-Cook, County haven’t signed a difference maker since Stewart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcfc fan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Let’s not be too early in judging these players , if andreu can get to his level then it’s a cracking signing whether he does or not remains to be seen. Oldham fans seem to think Maouche is decent enough and hey the last player we signed from them hasn’t done bad at all. for all the people crying out for Hughes to drop vigurs , he might well do that now with these signings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
