It says he was back in training with Wigan yesterday, but he's expected to sort out his release and join us before the Ireland trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose his knees being wrecked or some mysterious pelvic issue thats kept him sidelined for the last 18 months is too much to ask for. Ragin' Nae bother our medical and back room team will soon have him out for 8 months. Am I doing this right?

Don’t see how anyone could be negative about this if it goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington can play wide as well as playing up front. Walker's days of playing in wider areas are gone and playing off the striker is Naismith's remit. I doubt Walker would be happy being paid as a back-up so to me he would be an expensive sub (if fit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Just now, Barack said: Changed the game with his running & goal recently, against the Estonians. He wouldn't just be sat around the penalty box, put it that way. Correct. A rarity these days in that he is a player who wants to take opponents on. He could be a great foil for Uche or could easily swap in a flexible formation with Naismith who likes to drift in from the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 His record is just okay as a striker He got a big move in 2016 and it did not seem to work out nor his move to Sheffield United last season so he still has things to prove Our Assistant Manager has seen him at close quarters so you'd like to think we have a pretty good idea of his talents but it's the type of signing you hope will work out. I'd imagine his wages will be pretty high at our level so lets look on the positive side and be happy we have boosted the squad in one of the areas that needed some improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
