Davy Vandenbroucke 27,092 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Greek journo saying we’ve sent scouts to watch this guy, 23 year old winger from Honduras. Probably nonsense as he’s scored 8 goals in 21 games so far this season, and us having a winger that actually scores goals sounds too good to be true Bristoe1872, Sparkle and GA1972 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,613 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 We have a great track record signings wingers over the last 4/5 years so if this is true then would expect this to be another sure fire hit.

Agreed, however scottish football is still in the dark ages and we've seen for two seasons now a team literally destroy the opposition with two proper wingers instead of asking the fullbacks to do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not so much the player(s) its more the system, i hate how we ask wingers to come inside and play central mid, we ask centre mids to drop in and cover fullbacks and ask fullbacks to be wingers essentially Square pegs, round holes and all that JCDBigBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally played out wide and took men on 1v1 most games, do you not remember how he set up the likes of lundstrams goal in germany or tavs at home to leipzig?

You mean he started out wide, and drove at a defender and instead of passing it out to our advancing left back he kept going into the box Sounds like a winger to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
