Unless we've come into compromising photos of Scott Parker, it's got to be a loan with obligation hasn't it? The club's were miles apart in valuations and have been for 7 months. I reckon we'll be paying a decent loan fee as well on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MythikRobins Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) 35 minutes ago, RedEyez said: The same side of CENTRE attacking midfield? How does that work please? Both of them like to drift off to the left. Scott Twine's heatmap: George Earthy's Heatmap: Central attacking midfielders aren't typically really centrally attacking. But we do not really know with Earthy he could be just fine on the right side if we play with 2 10s. Just for an easy example of a central attacking midfielder whos more comfortable drifting right: Kevin De Bruyne's heatmap: I'm sure Manning knows how he'll resolve this though.

It would be nice to be there this time around. Well we were indeed 11th after 15 Games but yet we clawed ourselves back twice, only t9 stumble again. Coventry surged from deep, they had 16 points from 16 Games heading into that International break. Middlesbrough were odd, streaky almost..had 2 points from 7 then, then a strong run- which we ended! Then had a big slump again before rallying. Us and Plymouth beat them in February, March time as did others probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his performances at his new club will be analysed like never before even by otib standards, with all the debate from those who rate him and those who don’t going round in circles for a long time. Inject a "Conway would've scored that" in every match-thread from now until he retires straight into my veins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
