I wonder why Brums deal for Auguste Priske fell through. His stats sre better than Dykes, perhaps we should go for him, only 21.0

We evolved last season into a better attacking team, and still we didn’t need a creative attacking midfielder. We are back at the start of the process again now that we are in the championship, but Jones’ way has built teams that can move up the championship table before. He finished 6th with Luton while 23rd in the possession table, and a midfield that didn’t contain anyone that would be described as the skilful/creative type. We’ve gone all in on Jones, and it’s worked, and we should continue to do soSword65pf said:
Naby, you aren’t the only one seeing how we’ve played, but that doesn’t mean people can’t suggest others formations they would like to see, and players in certain positions. NJ’s insistence of style and formation could in time lead to his own downfall,if he doesn’t see any other way,I think he probably does by the way, he’s mentioned evolution in the past, we are not in league 1 now and our style at the moment will only take us so far.NabySarr said:
I’m not saying put Fullah in, my point was more that there’s literally never going to be a scenario where Jones wants a creative/skillful player in that 10 role, but if he ever does we do at least have Fullah for that rare scenario. As it’s not going to be something we need very often at all, it’s pointless wasting a signing on itSword65pf said:
But with respect Fullah is not proven yet, if he was We would have seen him more, I just don’t get the insistence to put the youngsters in and think it’s the solution. He might end great but. But not yet.NabySarr said:
We did that last year with Gilbert, and he barely played or had any impact in open play. There’s no point wasting budget on a type of player that we don’t use when we’re probably stretched enough trying to get enough players that we will useBerkshire1970 said:
But any team with the ambition to avoid relegation needs to have options in their set-up. We need to have a tactical alternative by having a skilful no. 10.NabySarr said:
The number 10 position sees much less of the ball than the central midfielders. If Costello is playing then you want him getting the ball as much as possible. He can feed the ball into the 10 and strikers, if you put him in the 10 we don’t have anyone else to do that so he wouldn’t get the ball nearly enoughSword65pf said:
Don’t think he would get less ball, it was suggested our 10’s only run around and don’t create, it depends what is wanted from the 10, bearing in mind Coventry is deeper, you would then have some energy between the two positions, hence Carey/knibssNabySarr said:
Moving Costello forward means he will get the ball less. Much better he stays where he is and gets on the ball more, our 10 needs more energy to press from the front which is why we have Carey and KnibbsSword65pf said:The only midfielder prepared to hold onto the ball and then look for the pass seems to be JRC, wonder if he has ever played as a 10,might suit him as he’s not the quickest.then have Coventry, knibbs or Carey.
What Jones wants from his 10 is pressing and arriving in the box for goals. That’s why Carey, Knibbs and Berry are the players we’ve brought in to play there. Our 10 often leads the press and I can’t see Costello being that player
We’re never going to have a creative player in the number 10 role. It’s just not how we play
If we ever needed that option, we have Fullah
I’d have thought it would have been quite obvious to people now after 2 years but we really don’t need a creative attacking midfielder for the way we play1 -
Rather have Josh Winks.Red_Chester said:Apparently harry winks is available for loan. Will be on massive wages but being a London club could be an option

Don't let something stupid like facts get in the way.Sage said:
It closes on 2nd February, but I get your point. 1 signing every 4-5 days on average. Let’s hope we get at least a couple through the door as soon as possible.CaptainRobbo said:Only 16 more shopping days 🛒 🛍️0 -

Kaelan Casey has been recalled by West Ham from Swansea, wonder if that is one that could end up here1

I’m guessing the Dykes is at Sparrows Lane and signing the contract rumours were false then?0

Not sure what the hold up was, got told 2 days ago it was done but he’s here. A solid but not a flashy signing. However, a motivated signing is a lot better than some of the crap we’ve had before. We will play to his strengths. Welcome Lyndon6
