Paynter off to Doncaster

Austin we look to have bought a 'Nunez'

----------------

He's a CB/DM whereas Nunez is a Fwd/AM

How are they alike?

Stoopo, I'm saying compare now with the same time that preseason, they don't look that different and that was supposed to be a preseason of transfer activity designed to consolidate.

It looks the same, have to hope the outcome is different.

I've seen some Austin footage and most of it appears to be of him making good tackles and scoring goals. I think he's got 17 in the last 46 games which suggests he might be a better bet than Nunez going forward.

He's also classed as a CM/DM not a CB!

As he can tackle as well I think we might have a good player on our hands.

Jonty,

As I said - time will tell - but I think they are better players than the ones from that season.

He's also classed as a CM/DM not a CB!

---------------------------------------

There are two types of defensive midfielders. Those that sit deeper than the midfielder line and those that are on the normal line but tend to stay where they are whilst the rest attack and hang back and defend.

Austin can play that role in a normal midfield, not deeper, although he could, but usually he'll play in a normal midfield just playing a defensive role, or he'll play CB.

"Anyone think we should keep in him?"

No. We should pay them to take him to make sure it goes through.

Well DM or CM he scores more than Nunez and can tackle.

Paynter? Let him go!

But nowhere near the Nunez mould. Nunez couldn't even play in midfield he was ***te in midfield only effected when playing an advanced role and rarely effective then. They play at opposite sides of the field.

He must have got better since he's been at Leeds, afterall Simon Grayson hasn't bid on him...!
