Zak Vyner signs on loan - confirmed

[Tugboat]

I can’t see this lad coming on loan with the agreement that he’s going to be on the bench as cover. He’s here to learn the game and for that to happen he has to play.

My gut thought is he’ll play at RB because he’s got good pace and decent on the ball which puts a question mark over Oscars position.

Does he move onto midfield or do we go down the speciation avenues of players moving out again?

All depends on what calibre player we bring in for the CM role but ultimately this new player is here for game time, not warming the bench.

Bristol Post reckon we're signing this young defender from City

My sources have confirmed this :scarf:

Great, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

told you that my sources are reliable... :doh:

Not sure why so many of our fans are desperate to see Threlkeld in midfield, average midfielder, quality right back.

It’s more about accommodating the new lad.

Plus Oscars not really had a run in midfield to fully justified the average remark.

His strengths aren't best utilised in midfield, Oscar a quick combative right back and a very good one, he isn't the midfield general that we've lost in Diagouraga.

Has he played that many games in midfield? I'd be happy for him to have another chance.

 

[Cobi Budge]

Simply don't think it'd be a good idea to take our best defender out of defence, especially with the run that we're on.

I thought he did well in midfield and always thought that was were he would end up. He is a very good footballer, can pass the ball and has a lot of energy and gets around the pitch.
Vyner's signing gives us cover at centre back, right back and, indirectly, midfield.

Vyner does give us options BUT he’s here to play not as cover.

Derek speaks..

“He had to stay at Bristol City for their last two cup games.
“Bristol City were waiting to get a player in before they released him, and they have been able to do that.
“He’s a player I have tried to sign a few times. Bristol City like him as a player and he’s come here to get some game-time.
“He’s more of a centre-back who can play right-back at this moment in time. They have got high hopes for him playing at centre-back.”

With regards Oscar, have we forgotten there was a major falling out earlier in the season due to Oscar’s injury management. Are we absolutely sure that has been forgiven and forgotten by both or either of them.

 

[Cobi Budge]

Most Bristol City fans are saying he's an average RB but a very good CB, Johnson has said he wants him to play CB, Derek has said they want him to play CB, Edwards or Bradley being dropped? Edwards or Bradley leaving? I can't see Bristol loaning us a player like him to simply sit on the bench.

 

[Tugboat]

On that spin then maybe pace to partner Bradley?

 

[Keepitgreen]

Welcome to HP Zak. Good luck.

 

[Cobi Budge]

Both Edwards and Bradley are very good individual CB's but I can't help but sometimes feel they're too similar.
