Where is Rubin Colwill?

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

People are not taking any account of the fact that we have signed probably around £10m of players for nothing in terms of transfer fees.

Is that a fact? Or are you having another Madine loan fee moment?

People are not taking any account of the fact that we have signed probably around £10m of players for nothing in terms of transfer fees. To me that is a ‘great window’. That doesn't just ‘happen’ either, it takes a lot of hard work and the manager and his staff deserve a great deal of credit for pulling it off.

Maybe closer to that based on pre covid player values, the Championship has changed though, the majority of players no longer comand a transfer value, they are just a wage cost liabilty.

Unless any of them are exceptional I doub't they will move on with any large sort of transfer fees, but it will be interesting to see what happens tp player values in the future?

Re: Where is Rubin Colwill?

Rubin is the tallest outfield player in the squad (over 6'4" - just above Cedric Kipre). We don't have to play with high balls to a big front man, but Morison is making a big deal (rightly) of the crosses our new wingers should produce for strikers, and to have Rubin in the mix to get on the end of them would be a bonus. That said I have never associated Rubin Colwill with headed goals.

But the point is that he may have to adapt and re-invent his role to be effective in this team. There may be a No 9 in there?

Looked on a couple of sites, they say 6 1" or 6 2", I didn't even realise he was that tall?

You're probably right you're good on the stats?

I just took it from his Wiki page.

Colwill is very tall, taller than Mick half way down the page. He's at least 6'2

SM in the press conference just now:

Colwill?

"He just did his hamstring the last moment of the Scotland trip, the same as Isaak, he owes us a pre-season. We can’t fast track them because they are too important for the season."

Great to hear him describing both as too important to rush back - positive news of how he views them 👍

Such a shame though, would have loved to have seen this with a season's experience and a good pre season under their belts

Me too but there has been a lot of chatter as to whether or not Morison rates Colwill particularly so hopefully this is a sign that both are seen as part of the plans
