Squad Development 2021

[WSWJACK]

Well he has the PL pedigree, don't know how he has been going in the Scottish leagues recently though, just glad it's not Ledley to be honest.

[MajorMelons]

Is he a 10 or an 8? 

[Sithslayer1991]

Here hoping he beefs up the midfield

[StringerBellend]

He has an almost telepathic understanding  of where to put balls for  Cox

He's a box to box central midfielder.

[DeeDee]

Good signing. Obviously been a while since i've watched him in the prem but he was an all round midfielder if not abit attacking in his younger years with a decent bullet of a strike in his locker. Could work alright in a midfield trio in the 532 (352 whatever it is) formation with Baccus and either JOD or the new victory boy. However we line up just get Muller out of the midfield!!

Shoots outside the penalty box ✅ 
Shoots inside the 18 year box ✅ 
Shoots inside the 6 yard box ✅ 
Scores on follow through passes ✅ 
Can score on free kicks ✅ 
Can score penalty kicks ✅ 

Going to be a great player and it seems he can play either anywhere in the midfield. He'll be a great additive to the squad.

Dorrans was a top player for WBA in the Championship and I always had a lot of respect for him. I'm excited by this signing but just hope it's not a year too late

Keep McGowan away from him.

[WHACKO]

New mans theme song

Dorrans where's your troosers

 

[MistahCampoy]

GD looks like a great addition, happy with this signing

[Edinburgh]

Hopefully the player we get is equal to the better version

But not as old.

[GD07]

All I’ll say about the new signing is hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 

[Paul01]

For Unlimited, FIFA20 comparison between Schwegler and Dorrans

FIFA20...Schwegler...Dorrans
Pace........40...............55
Shooting..67..............65
Pass........73...............72
Dribble.....72..............70
Defend.....73..............56
Physical...66..............66
Overall.....74..............70

His partners In midfield will have to more defending based on above. Similar players otherwise.

[Paul01]

Dorrans last season 1 goal 4 or 5 assists 

[Paul01]

So the squad so far looks like this if it's 3-4-1-2. I am missing an AM. Maybe Antonis would be 

.....................................Lopar(V)

.................McGowan... Tass.....Ziegler (V?)

Russell.......Dorrans(V).........Baccus......Georgievski

................................Muller (V)

........................Cox(V)...........Yeboah

Bench: Adam, O'Doherty, Lesiotis, Wilmering,  Janjetovic, Grozos

Is Antonis not typically DM?

[Wanderingbeersclub]

Where has the talk of Antonis come from? Is there actual speculation he may become available or are you just wishing ..?

A Baccus, Dorrans, Antonis midfield in a 433 could do wonderful things in the Covid-League. 

Also, if its going to be a 3-4-1-2 then we need more centre backs. I really hope its a 433 or 4321. I think Dan Georgevski and Russell (and McGowan) would all benefit from a back 4

Need to stop shoe-horning Muller into that number 10 position. Just because he has pedigree doesn't mean he can play anywhere over here. Hes an absolute waste there and throws away so much possession due to it being so un-natural to his game. In that system he plays up front with Cox. The cons of that are we lose alot of pace but then again Yeboah is pretty much false pace and everything else.....

Rumours were over the last week was that he was leaving/getting released and wanted to return to Australia. I'm pretty sure the K League finished recently and he was a bench (squad) player.

Would be a good pick up. Though Im sure plenty of clubs would be in the queue.

"Jack Wilshere has turned down the opportunity to move to Australia and is mulling over a number of options, according to a report."

I've got a feeling he was approached by Robinson and he turned it down.

my mate is a big Arsenal fan and calls him sicknote, reckons he is made of glass due to all the injuries he's picked up over the years.

Doubt we'd fork out the money required.
