I think Rowett may rate Pieters ahead of Bauer hence making right back more of a priority?
In all truth as a pure play defensive full back I think I probably do too. There is something a bit wild and windy about Bauer!

There is something a bit wild and windy about Bauer! Well, considering we gave him an improved 5-yr deal on Premier League money 6 weeks ago and we've given his deputy, Edwards, a 4-and-a-half year deal in February as our most start-ready young player, I'm not sure I give this any credence though. I know Percy usually knows his onions, but I'm calling bullshit/crossed wires on this one if we're meant to believe Rowett thinks right-back is a priority position |

Far more pressing loan requirements than this surely.

Dear me, you've got to love the scouting network haven't you? Carto coming up top trumps again. |

Makes good sense to me, a winger that can sprint dribble & cross, happy days. |

Bauer is wasted at right back, his pace would be a nightmare for opposistion as a winger

It would be nice to have a RB with some positional sense, though. |

Poor old Tom Edwards if it is true.
Stoke City, where promising youngsters vanish into obscurity.

Percy is usually spot on with these things.
If this is true then it’s time to seriously start worrying. In a very unbalanced squad where space is at a premium, right back is the very last position we need to fill. Even taking into account Bauer’s poor start to the season.
The only way this would possibly make sense is if a bid has come from abroad for Bauer and both player and manager are happy to go with it.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised?
a) we need defensive cover & he has experience at this level
b) we have looked very vulnerable on that side of the pitch in both games

The only way this would possibly make sense is if a bid has come from abroad for Bauer and both player and manager are happy to go with it. Not necessarily it could mean a number of things, ince is a versatile player that can play left wing, right wing & attacking midfield. This loan could free up Bauer to play right wing aswell with ince on the left. There are any number of possibilities. We don't know what exact formation Rowett is going for yet, he probably doesn't himself yet until we know exactly what we are working with. |

He was never really a Rowett pick and it's possible he hasn't liked what he's seen and something has come in from Germany or somewhere? I do find it unlikely Percy has just invented some level of interest, so it's all a bit odd. |

Unless of course an opportunity has come along for Edwards to secure a decent loan move?

Butland Simpson - Shawcross/Williams - BMI - Pieters Allen - Etebo/Fletcher/Badou Bauer - Ince - McClean Afobe If he doesn't fancy Bojan in the middle... |

We seem to be hooked on these 5 year + deals and it has proven very expensive on more than one occasion. |

What an absolutely wank transfer this would be. Of all the positions we need to strengthen we are looking into a right back. Hope this is BS or i'm really starting to lose faith with Rowett.
And you just know if it came off we'd end up with Mcclean running around like a headless chicken on the left wing- and Bauer doing the same on the right wing

I like him a lot but he has to understand first and foremost he is there to defend? |

What I do know is after several years of this inside forward business a speedy, direct wide man with the ability to fly past a full back and cross a ball would be like a breath of fresh air to me |
