Bobby Wales To Sign

[bakajack]

Welcome Wales to Wales from Scotland to the English leagues
May he have the luck of the Irish and reach his potential with us

Striker? Wonder if he plays out wide or a straight replacement for VP or even Cullen?

Head coach Alan Sheehan, said: “It is very pleasing to bring another talented attacking player into our squad.

“Bobby is a young player, but has experience in the senior game with Kilmarnock and Alloa and provides us with further competition in the final third of the pitch.

“We look forward to working with him, developing him further in his all-round game, and hopefully helping him fulfil his potential.”

Striker because he’s a striker. No idea why Swans fans are eager to suggest he is a winger or could be played there. Round pegs for round holes is the way.

According to Transfermarkt Wales has Irish citizenship, so presumably could play for ROI as well as Scotland.

His main position is as a striker, although it's not clear if that's a 9 or a second striker. He's also played as an AM, RW and in left midfield.

He seems pacy, plenty of energy and has a good amount of body strength to compete for balls played up to him and to hold defenders off until other players get around him. A goal record of roughly 1 in 4 might sound a bit low but considering his age is plenty acceptable.

I feel like unless something changes the two that Sheehan will want to keep for the squad up front is Wales and Vipotnik with Cullen instead offering competition at number 10 with Eom.

Bear in mind we went 4-1-4-1 in several games under Sheehan, so at times we may play with two 10s behind Vipotnik. My guess is that Eom, Cullen and Wales will be competing for those two places, with Franco anchoring the midfield.

He hasn't been playing as a striker. More cutting in role. I'm not debating his natural position. Just stating where he has played

FFS that’s confusing…a guy called Wales born in Scotland playing for Ireland…

Where are you getting that from, apart from other Swans fans? Because every single Jock that I’ve seen comment on him say he is and plays as a striker.


Never known a fan base like us who when we sign say a winger, we start pondering whether he can play striker, or when we sign a winger, we want him to be able to play 10 as well. Nucking futs.

Bobby looks like a young Robert Shaw

 

[Blackpooljack]

When all said and done is he likely to be any better than the two strikers we've had out on loan...serious question

It’s a signing based on future potential.

The other two cannot be put in that category, sadly.

He is 19 years old but already has almost 70 first team appearances to his name
He will continue to develop and improve and stepping up to the Championship is the ideal next challenge for him

We will almost certainly look to sell off Yates and Kuharevych

Viva Bobby Wales ...

I know that but it's all perhaps and maybe's
