Liam Rosenior signs on a 3-year deal

[Triggaaar]

Personally I think this should be Greer's last season as a 1st choice player

I'd prefer if last season was his last season as a 1st choice player.

In today's Argus, CH says he still wants to sign a LeftBack, so Rosenior wasn't our signing for this position.

That's putting your spin on it. My spin says that I'd expect Bruno to play the majority of games at right-back, and Rosenior at left-back. We could always sign another left-back for cover, and then wave bye-bye to Chicksen.

Me too. Our preferences don't seem to come through in Hughton's interview with Naylor in today's paper.

My fingers are crossed for Marcus Olsson, 27 year old Swedish international who can also play on left wing and is available on a free as his contract has expired with Blackburn and was there player of the year last season in 14-15, also has a vague connection with Hughton as he signed his twin brother Martin for Norwich.

Garrido or Ward also wouldn't be bad choices either.

 

[Mackenzie]

also interesting that CH says he wants another forward - doesn't mention COG so looks like he is not part of our plans.

I noticed that too, seems like the wheels are in motion with.that one.

I've not read the piece but my assumption is that he mentions Balders & Clunge then?

Good point. Maybe the new left back will be intended to be first choice in 2016/17, with Rosenior starting as left back for us, then moving to right back in a year's time

Baldock yes Colunga no. I get the impression that CH is looking at at Hedem/Baldock two up front with Baldock dropping back if need be.

I believe Murphy could play as a 2nd striker ( as well as being a winger ) **if we get him**

That's what I thought but I'm not so sure know with CH's comments today.

I've also just read this from yesterday's Argus:

Rosenior said: “I am right-footed so I would say right-back but it is a strange one as I am just as comfortable at left-back. I use my right foot a lot at left-back but I am quite effective in that way. I will happily play anywhere the manager needs me to play and do a job for the team.

Are we genuinely in for Murphy, or is this just rumour site stuff to generate clicks and Twitter followers?

I did have this in mind. It might also be the case that Rosenior plays at right-back exclusively. He might play both. We shall see.

 

[Machiavelli]

That's what I thought but I'm not so sure know with CH's comments today.

I've also just read this from yesterday's Argus:

I'm not so sure that either Hughton's or Rosenior's comments are conclusive. Nor would we expect them to be.

According to the Argus, this morning, we beat Bournemouth and another Prem club, to get him. Whether they had actually made an offer, isn't known, but were showing interest.

[Icy Gull]

If he plays half as well as he interviews we have got a real asset. Really impressed with what he has to say in today's Argus. We have been short of articulate motivated players like this for the last couple of seasons.
