Hope he has some pace! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_McGuinness Promising centre half. Tall. Wins his headers and his tackles. Can also play a bit and does, as you’d expect from anyone who has come through Arsenal’s academy. Average pace for a young central defender. Extremely right footed and has predominantly played on the right of a defensive middle two, rarely has he played in a defensive three. If he's coming in then I'm guessing that would make Palmer the left hand cover and where would it leave Iorfa? 1 hour ago, Southy_SWFC said: I assume they've signed a few defenders then if he's not needed this year. Morrison now has five centre halves at Cardiff but their forums are 'agitated' he's the one that's going out on loan. They reckon bringing him in was the only good thing Barnsley Mick did. He dropped a couple of bollocks but became a fan favourite, looking assured when he played last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I suspect we've been experinenting with James to see if he could fill in at LCB until Famewa is ready to come back. In view of what happened, no. So sign this lad on loan? Obviously not a left footer so not a direct replacement. Perhaps we should wrap Liam in cotton wool for the immediate future.

KrolMong Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I see McGuinness as more competition for Heneghan. Not sure what it means for Iorfa but, as has been repeatedly said, he’s looks out of his depth in this system at the moment, although he is physically the best of all them. Just on Moore. He has two issues, he’s not worked on alternate systems when Plan A doesn’t work. And when an opposition coach looks to exploit a weakness, he’s slow to react. Sunderland in the playoff semi last season, we. It needed a change of approach, and it didn’t come. This season, teams have changed mid game and we haven’t made adjustments. We’ve got a very good squad, we can play some very good stuff, but, a good coach will work us out, and Moore doesn’t react to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 So we have signed another Central Defender who has historically played in a two, to go with another new signing who was included in the Team of the Season playing in a two. Not sure what formation Henegan was used in at Wimbledon ? I am a Moore fan but when are we going to line up to suit the squads strengths. Would 4-4-2 or a variation of 4-3-3 be more suitable ?

TheExile Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Dropping Henegan was a bold move given he was due to be the lynchpin but he’s missed a few headers. McGuinness looks to have the attributes we need at this level just as storey and a young Danny Batth did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheExile Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hull only extended his contract to sell him this window really.

tomcore Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wilks might do a job. So might Smith when we see him. Would it be wrong to find another u23/21 player from the Prem? Try and get them on loan. Despite the uproar on Twitter I don't think we're far off a balanced squad. I know our loans have been hit and miss but a Brad Young style of player. Would probably suit us just as well as folking out for another high earner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanbird Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I guess that's the incoming business done for this window? DM was talking about a third goalkeeper, but I hope he dismissed the idea in the meantime. How likely is it that both goalkeepers will be out injured at the same time? I wouldn't mind another defender; we've got plenty of options in midfield and won't find another striker (after Wilks) anyway. Outgoing: Alex Hunt?? Keep: FDB (unless somebody offers 2M) and Sow Does anybody agree?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
