thegovernor1 0 Posted August 12, 2012 just a heads up, a player from our club will be heading to Sunderland I believe it will be Wes Hoolahan. I''m sure I will get slated and someone will want to know the source but I cannot divulge on that info. The person is pretty reliable too.Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jed exodous 0 Posted August 12, 2012 I''m not so sure Wes will feature that greatly in our first 11, so wouldn''t be surprised if this is true. If we can get 1-1.5m its not a bead deal. It looks like we may well go 4-5-1 next season, and I doubt he''ll be first choice. Plus it''d free up a spot in the 25 for another striker. Meh, may not happen, not the end of the world if it does though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morisons Prozac 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Does it really matter if Wes leaves? He''ll be one of our highest earners and is getting on a bit with about 6 other players that can substitute for him in his position (Howson, Butterfield, Snodgrass, Martin, Bennett & Pilkington). Good move IMO and will free up another place for a quality signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingsway 94 Posted August 12, 2012 Hoolahan provides that extra dimension we lack without him although I doubt he''ll play all the time! Anyway we need to improve out squad not weaken it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted August 12, 2012 I thought Holt was going to Sunderland and we were getting the ever hopeless boy blunder in return ? ZITTY TO CITY was to be the headline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted August 12, 2012 If you have Sessegnon, you don''t need Wes.Morison''s a good bet. They have no strikers of any quality and Fletcher from Wolves is proving hard to sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

urdie_Canary 32 Posted August 12, 2012 I''ve heard similar because sessignon is off to man city...... wouldn''t be a big loss IMO. I don''t like it when we''ve changed our formation to accommodate a ''free role'' in Hoolahan and we will hopefully get a good fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted August 12, 2012 4-5-1 is a formation Hoolahan can play well in. If Hughton is going to play one striker, Hoolahan will not be leaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every player has his day though but I would be seriously jarred off if he was sold - the boy is one of the finest ever to pull on canary yellow. We''ve seen it before, fact is that when Wes is injured or left out we often look a shadow in terms of spark and creativity. If he is sold I fear we could regret that piece of business big style!.

Jacko 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Selling Hoolahan would be a disaster if we are intent on playing one up front this season. He links the midfield and attack superbly. He could be the real hub of this system feeding Holt as well as other runners from wide areas like Pilkington, Bennett or Snodgrass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flying high up in the sky! 1 Posted August 12, 2012 [quote user="Nexus_Canary"]*fingers crossed its Morro *[/quote] why on earth would we want to lose our 2nd best striker ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Shirt 17 Posted August 12, 2012 Sounds like a good idea to me- we have younger, stronger, quicker replacements ready and we might not play 4-5-1 if he goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
