Agreed he will be sat on the bench all season the way Giles is going.
Realistic signings (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Sky_Blue_Daz
- Start date
Absolutely agree Pete, the fee for Sam enabled us to make the signings we have. Hamer is going to be an excellent addition and O Hare on a free will turn out to be a blinding bit of business.
You may end up being surprised Pete,

Would allow Mason to go but long term unless we sign Giles perm or mccallum is deemed not good enough already, it's not great having two loaner lbs... Mind u Newton might be the new mccallum so who knows

I would not be shocked in seeing a few young players from top clubs coming in on loan. Our players look like they are getting some top level coaching in what looks like a very positive enviroment. You can see a team spirit and togetherness that comes from all buying into what is being asked on an everyday basis, i have not seen this at the club for a very long time. Big clubs will be watching and could be thinking we are a very good option to sent some players to make the next step and getting 1st team games.

I have heard again tonight that McCallum is definitely rejoining on loan & that it could even be confirmed as soon as tomorrow.
I wouldn't deem it a reliable source & as others have said just can't see it when he wouldn't be likely to oust Giles on current form.

Yes this will happen , we would have had first option on him coming back on loan , I guess we thought it’s better to have him in the squad . Be the same as last season but Giles has the shirt this time
Cant see it myself, early days yet but from the two games I have seen Giles play attacking wise he’s an improvement on McCallum, unless Robins sees Giles as a wide left midfielder. And haven’t Norwich just sold their number one left back.I have heard again tonight that McCallum is definitely rejoining on loan & that it could even be confirmed as soon as tomorrow.

Getting McCallum back in seems like a waste of time unless we’re planning on playing Giles in one of the two attacking midfield roles. He’s been one of our best players so far this season.

Although McCallum is more suited to a WB role than Mason, I wouldn't think it'd be wise to have two loanees for a position. Mason wouldn't be happy to be third choice and so may leave and if Giles/McCallum were recalled in Jan we'd be stuffed.
Dunno if MR is banking on Newton progressing enough to be ready for the first team, but he's very young, not been a pro for long and only just come back from a broken leg so it'd be a gamble.

The whole point of Wolves loaning us Giles was that they want him to develop in the wing back role. Given the exceptional start he's made I can't see that we're going to willingly move him from there on a regular basis just to accommodate McCallum.
Open to debate & I'm not saying Giles is better than McCallum necessarily but I do think he's a better fit for the way we want to play.

Would be really shocked if we got McCallum back.
Think we need another CAM as seems like Hilssner is way off at the moment and with JJ being injured I feel we may be a bit short.

I just can’t see it happening. Unless plan with Giles is to play him up top on the left.

Yep, it is funny. To be honest, I think the main thing last year was that we had a settled team that was winning.
If McCallum does come back he'd be a decent backup. I think his development would be better served going somewhere he can play week in, week out. Going the Scotland route like Maddison wouldn't be the worst thing.

Although he's been filling in at RWB Burroughs is more of an attacking midfielder in his preferred position.

Yes I think this will be the case , last year we had 0’hare and Allen and then Shipley and Westbrooke . giles could be used in this way

They are different players Mccallum is a better defender but Giles looks better going forward. MR potentially wants mccallum as a more solid reliable LWB for certain games.

No McCallum in the squad for Norwich today
If the budget is limited then I would prefer DCM and an ACM. Left back isn't as much of a priority. If its true about McCallum that takes us up to four loan signings in the squad so only room for one more in the squad. Unless Robins is thinking of pushing Giles into one of the roles behind Godden maybe.

Giles is never an attacking midfielder
Might be wrong but I think this is where he ended up playing for Shrewsbury

Left wing more so that attacking midfield mate,wouldn’t want him in one of the 2 AM positions he’s just fine where he is.
There's a chance we've put an offer in for Giles with the Wilson money, I'm sure we were loaning him before a possible purchase. Maybe robins has seen enough.
McCallum coming in on loan, as backup would make sense then, for us anyway, for McCallum, I'm not sure, unless he believes he can dislodge Giles.
Will be interesting what the next few days cook up anyway.

Maybe Robins thinks he could play one of the CAM positions a bit like JJ was gling to have to moving from winger into a more centralised role.
Whatever happsn great depth in that area.

Looks like our social media team beat him to the punch if it is McCallum! Hopefully he’s running another story on us!
