Marlon Pack

[Stavross1927]

Many deadline day deals smack of desperation, but this must be one of the all-time classics. Pack plays for a club based just 40 miles away and apparently it's now a race against time to sign him. The club was relegated more than three months ago.....

It’s been shambolic.

We’ve needed a right back for at least 2 years and never addressed it!

We lost 3 midfielders in the summer and signed Will Vaulks which is a decent signing but if as is obvious that Warnock doesn’t like a ‘number 10’, you’re going to play 3 in the centre so we needed more in. Again this hasn’t been addressed even with loans! The Marlon Pack thing looks like take a punt on the closest player geographically that is available!

If we do struggle, hopefully this makes the powers that be release we need to have a long term transfer strategy and implement changes. But I won’t hold my breath!

Vassell is a far more natural #10 than Reid. He's not an out & out striker or lone front man. We must (!) have bought him to play off Glatzel. Reid is an attacking midfield player, we won't see much of Vassell dropping into midfield, he plays off the CF.

I can't recall a time that NW has used 2 up top, except for 2 similar forwards. This will be something different, unless of course NW uses him as a full back.
