Bailey Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 (edited) Have heard that we are looking at trying to get Chris Gunter on loan until the end of the season, but there is interest from elsewhere. Any deal would be dependant on Spurs agreeing to pay a large percentage of his wages though, so don't hold your breath. We'll have to wait and see. At least it shows the management are looking at the RB position I suppose. Edited 2 February, 2009 by Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Martini Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 From the BBC website: 1629: JJR informs me that Spurs full-back (how many have they got?) Chris Gunter is set to join Championship side Preston North End on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been crying out for a proper RB for ages now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been crying out for a proper RB for ages now. Get him in, play Llyod RM Wotton and Surman in the centre Mclaggon on the left and Saga and McGoldrick up front.

CB Fry Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 Linked with Charlton as well. If we assume he isn't keen on moving to Lancashire, he may decide to stay south with us or them. Can't imagine there will be much of a financial incentive between the three of us. Preston is a long drive in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better off dropping Lloyd. He is only in the team due to him being the only one deemed capable of filling in at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 That's exactly what I think of, Scudamore. Anyway, this deal is never going to happen. We are not capable of signing a player like Chris Gunter. I love how gullable so many of you are, believing the likes of saint c*ck stevo. Dos Santos? LOL!!!!!

A decent crosser of the ball who TBH lacks some defensiv ability. Another one who needs to be given a chance in his preferred position before we make any decision.

Bailey Posted 2 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 2 February, 2009 Well things can change very quickly it would seem. I've just had a call saying we've dropped our interest in Gunter but haven't heard why. I can only assume it's to do with the wages. Seems this one was over before it ever begun! Maybe we'll look to sign a RB on loan over the coming weeks though? Here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one who needs to be given a chance in his preferred position before we make any decision. His preferred position? So you want him to play CM do you? Yes he isn't a bad crosser but there are others I would play ahead of him at RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_ed Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 Who? McLaggon seeing as he is a right sided player. You can also have BWP or Lallana. Then on the left we have Holmes, Skacel or Ryan Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 McLaggon seeing as he is a right sided player. You can also have BWP or Lallana. Then on the left we have Holmes, Skacel or Ryan Smith. I was under the impression that Ryan Smith was a right-sided player. If true (not saying it is) then I don't think we want to go down the road again of playing players in their wrong positions. Holmes is injured so not going to happen and Skacel has to play at left back whilst Lee serves his suspension (and it's unlikely IMO that this administration will play him in midfield.) So currently we have very little for left midfield. Mclaggon has also played well in the last couple of games and deserves a chance to show what he can do. Lallana should not be played on the right and needs a spell on the sidelines after quite a few average performances. I would certainly play James over BWP as well, I have never rated him. James deserves a chance in his proper position, he has put in some fantastic balls this season and we could really benefit from these if he was to play in a more advanced position. It's worth a try.

Andy_Porter Posted 2 February, 2009 Share Posted 2 February, 2009 who cares. I don't want to see either of his feet in the first team. Aye, he's a bit crap really. Doesn't help that JP kept playing him out of position on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be why I was confused then. Doesn't really matter anyway because Llyod deserves a chance there more than Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth a try. He is a good crosser. A great ball in for Saganowski's goal against Norwich. I'd like to see him get further forward before crossing. If we're going to play narrower in midfield, that's a possibility from fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
