Don't get how someone as good as Eliasson can't play a kind of free role in behind 2 strikers, but obviously LJ doesn't think he can as he said he can't play in that system. That’s what I was wondering. LJ says he can’t, but why can’t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reported Wells was on £25k a week, that is just within our wage structure and not unreasonable we would expect him to drop a bit given now a Championship player not prem.

In a 352 eliasson would have to play as a wing back, unless we somehow covered his defensive deficiencies then it wouldn't work. It would also stifle his attacking threat.

Tipps69 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 32 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Yeah I was thinking we may be in for another centre back. Still 2 days to go. Looking at what LJ likes. He really would not have us defending corners with 2 six footers. He more or less said this a while ago. To be fair he kind of has a point. Last night we were fantastic at defending corners. We had Fam, Baker and Williams and the others helped out. But take away Fam and we are far less comfortable. Take away Fam and add Kalas which means 3 at the back, and no harm done. Also if Brownhill goes, he is not exactly bad in the air and is back there defending corners. So him and Fam out and let's say Nagy/Massengo and Wells in and we are struggling imo. Well we were linked to Benkovic at Leicester but things seem to of gone quiet on that front & he’s been heavily linked with going to Middlesborough.

maxjak Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Shame it's not Vydra?........I think he would suit us a lot better than Wells, but i would guess his fee and wages are prohibitive.

What we need now is someone who’s going to hit the floor running, not need a month or two to get match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange transfer philosophy, £3m or so for Wells who is match fit & scored goals on a regular basis this season or £5m+ for Vydra who has done nothing for the last couple of seasons since he basically joined Burnley. Makes very little sense to me & that’s before we start talking probable wages & bonuses to go on a percentage of the fee’s already being paid etc. What would be the advantage of bringing Vydra to the club?

Loco Rojo Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Love to see Wells and a fit Afobe upfront. Question - are we likely to be able to afford to buy Afobe in the summer if Wells does join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain that if Benik can prove his fitness, we will still sign him Afobe and Wells up front has got the makings of a very good front pairing, not forgetting Fam to mix it up a bit COYRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the fee would change if we wanted to take a punt but I'm sure we could be more creative with his personal terms if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
