Hound I'd happily take him if he was available and would come to us.
One thing that I would really like us to do this year, esp if we play 5 at the back is to have the full backs push right on, pretty much as Fulham do. Obita could certainly do it successfully.

Hound Gunter frustrates me, as he does pretty much everyone to some extent, as I think he has shown the capability. Him and McCleary sometimes combine beautifully, and when he does race down the wing he can cross a good ball (thinking the Swift miss vs Fulham as an example)
just does it so rarely. But i get the feeling Stam would like to see it much more

CountryRoyal Let's not beat around the bush here. A few good performances in the latter stage of the season doesn't change the fact that he can't cross, can't defend, isn't overly quick, bottles a lot of challenges, passes back too frequently, and overall is a consistent 5 out of 10 player. He's built a career on being remarkably unremarkable and in this day and age consistency and never getting injured goes a long way.
Put Ilori (or a new CB) next to a new RB/RWB of Stam's choosing and I guarantee we will improve drastically, both defensively and playing it out from the back.
The Gunter-McShane combo got us into trouble time and time again. The amount of times I had to see those two indecisively piss about with it in the corner before inevitably losing it makes it even more remarkable to think that we were only a couple of penalties away from the premier league.

alfie9 Yiadom played left back quite a few times for Barnsley last season. So he could provide cover for both flanks, which would be useful

Sounds more and more like the Ghanaian Chris Gunter.
