Youngsters on the bench

Striker
Bruce has put Blair Adams on the bench for the last couple of games.

With him being a defender this has meant that we have had 1 keeper, 3 defenders and 3 midfielders on the bench with no striker options.

Surely he would be better putting one of the young forwards on there? Fletcher? Laidler? Or anyone else.

If we are going to put a youngster on the bench it may aswell be one that potentially we could use as oppose to one that will never get on as there are 2 far more experienced players (3 if you count Rico who could drop back into defence) already on the bench
 
I think he'd prefer to go 451/4411 if something happens to a forward buddy, as you say its very unlikely that one of the young lads will get on so he probably thinks its best to use the brightest player and use it as experience for them.

I know what you mean, but what if we are chasing a game? Still think he would be better to stick a forward on there.

I would like to see us bring in an experienced striker in january, somebody of the Benjani mould......but better :lol:. The problem with only having 3 strikers is that if one is injured or suspended we have no options on the bench

Equally I know what you mean, but I dont think any of the young lads are upto prem football, especially when needing to produce. Maybe better to pack the mid for sustained pressure.

What with Campbell in the squad, It would have to be a loan as to keep everyone happy. With a loan, I would of thought we were restricted in the amount that could be in the starting squad and even so its all more wages which Im a bit worried about as it is.

All the best

Alright Brucey, can we bring anyone else in loan? I did ask on another thread but no one bothered to reply.

Also by the time Campbell is fit, Welbeck will be back to Utd so you wouldnt have to worry about upsetting people especially your mate Fergie.

What's going on with Ryan Noble? Went to Derby, got injured, is he still knackered? Would have thought this could be his chance.

Im pretty sure there is a maximum of 2 domestic loanee's so we couldnt get another from this country. Cant find anything for maximum in squad so lets say 5 for funnsies (we have 4?).

Its also imperitive that we keep Fergie onside if im any chance of getting the Man U job. Also the fact that in the past he's given us important players Evans, Welbeck, Bardo, Kieran etc..

I thought that, but presumed he was still injured

Aye, knacked his back.

What if we sign one of the prem loanees permanently in Jan?

Then that would be fine to get another. I think there is a restriction of 5 in a season at different times? Who were you thinking of buying, dont think we have a cat in hells of either of the 2 domestic lads.

Onouha will never play for city again imho, he's good enough but they seem intent on filling their squad with foreign mercenaries

Im not sure we have what they'd want on a full back, presume 5 or 6. I can see it being a Hutton all over again. Either way if we did have the 5 or 6, surely it would be better to bring in Zog than acomidate a domestic loan forward for a hypethetical situation. Anywho, im off for a job interview, wish me luck.

Good luck and I hope there's no written section.

iirc we have a buy option on Nedum at pre-agreed price.

I agree unfortunately. It's going to make replacing them in the summer tricky...
