GrahamC Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Being linked, bit of an odd one. 35 and seemingly covers all the positions Tommy Rowe does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman_Stand Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Cracking player but as OP says only really provides further cover as he wouldn't be ahead of JD at left back or presumably the plethora of midfield options we already, if this is the case it flys in the face of the squad trimming?

Davefevs Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Doesn’t add up. I just ran his charts....looks brilliant....but the tiny sample of 114 minutes (7 apps) is what I call a data anomaly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Seems to be another Wade Elliott Type signing if true, experience and a dressing room influence. I wouldn't be against it so long as the wages are low and the younger players still get game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Madness if we sign him. Another midfielder and he’s very old. As he signs maybe they could line up all the young players and stick two fingers up to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 No ta. Wealth of experience yes, but not something I want to block the pathway with the likes Walsh, Morrell etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhhshauntaylor Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Walsh, Morrell, Williams, Massengo, Nagy, Bakinson is already 2 too many IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunt played a lot of his career as a LB and Left winger, so if his legs still work and he's seen as back up for Jay then I'd welcome it. Would be a good wise head in the dressing room for our younger players to bounce off, plus he knows all about promotion from this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that logic...but that’s why we have Tommy Rowe...unless he’s off? (super left foot though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a mega season ahead in terms of fixture congestion during the winter months, as well as the potential for more Covid related upheaval. I think those 6 players covering 2/3 central midfield positions is perfect IMO. You also need to factor in our injury record at the club, so it's more than likely that those 6 easily become 'those 4' given a few knocks with players being out of action. *edit: But if one were to go it would perhaps be Bakinson to a good League 1 club like Pring did.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 He seems the sort who has looked after himself so neither his age or fitness bother me. Experience would be useful.

'Orns Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Cracking player back in the day, but if he's coming in then it suggests one or two are on their way out As the squad stands, I'd find it an odd signing.

Phileas Fogg Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Would be a good signing I think. We need depth and experience and if he can fill in a variety of positions then I’m all for it. It does seem a bit strange given that this seemed to be the purpose of Rowe, but I think Brunt is a better player than Rowe overall so could be an upgrade.
