Who said he ain't used to it?

You do realise we started Wright as a CF at the start of last season but switched him to LM. Raphael has played LW, RW and Striker.
Tavares is a striker but looked better as a winger.... I could go in.

Ok so now you’re comparing strikers to wingers. You were talking about wingers to centre mids? Which one is it?

Thierry Henry was a winger before switching to a striker, and he didn't do too badly.

Your getting far too hung up on positions mate. Especially for a player we arnt likely to sign.

what are you waffling on about seriously

It’s Ian Poveda not Thierry Henry ffs. Never said wingers can’t be strikers and strikers can’t be wingers…i was on about replacing Allen with a winger when Allen plays the majority of games centre mid. Baffling why people are mentioning him and even more baffling that you’ve started mentioning world class strikers.

Wtf, you started this total nonsence by saying that a winger can't be compared to Allen.

how can you compare a winger to Allen? A player who could absolutely not play on the wing.

Love it Completely agree though, from the little stats I’ve looked at he doesn’t seem to be much of an upgrade on what we’ve already got. We should be looking to bring real quality in rather than people that will just do a job. We don’t need another JDS debacle, just get the right player in first time around.

I can't see it at all, we will only bring in those who can improve the team. He doesn't

You just want the new ITK to be wrong to keep your crown, which is looking very slippy this summer. Luckily for you your only competition so far is GIMOC, who's crown is made of dung.

I find I usually agree with you on most things but I think Poveda would just be adding numbers to the squad for the sake of it rather than improving the squad.

I’m sure he’s alright, and admittedly there’s limited stats/info to go on, but the fact no one’s really shouting his name from the rooftops speaks volumes to me. Could be wrong but personally I think we need to sign better if we’re to break into the prem.

I’d love us to sign better and hope we can but if I had a choice between Tavares or Poveda coming off the bench to replace Tats I know I’d choose Poveda ….

Yeah fair enough, I’d probably just pick Poveda too (granted I really don’t know much about him) but I think it’d be a close call. I think we need better subs in general, it’s rare we bring anyone on that makes a big impact, on a consistent basis at least.

We should have some real quality on the bench this season.
Potentially the likes of Torp, EMC, Kitching, Collins, Raphael, Lats, Allen and a new striker.
That's a big improvement over last season when we relied on the kids

Yeah I agree, I just meant in reference to Poveda, I don’t know if he’d make a meaningful impact in a starting 11 or as a sub.
I agree with you in that I think we already have a better squad than last year, just need maybe 3 more signings to make us really competitive for automatics.

Fuck knows who I'm thinking of then!

Edit: It was their game against Birmingham I was thinking about. He played well. Seems to be the exception to the rule...

he's a good player. Anyone saying otherwise is probably just looking at his stats. Would be a great option to have out wide. Having said that it seems a completely random rumour and theres no real substance to it

Will be a decent pickup on a free for someone, although I'm not convinced it'll be us.

Yes, although reading the comments the Wednesday fans say he was very good but a bit injury prone.

Old mans a Leeds fan so I've heard a bit about him and seen him a few times.

He's not going to set the pitch alight but he's not going to stink it up either. He's just a somewhat solid option, if a little safe.

As a rotation player, could be a decent move for the right money / wages. As a first team option I'm not too sure.
