Andy_Porter Posted 3 January, 2010 Share Posted 3 January, 2010 We should bid for that Simon Gillett chap at Doncaster? Gillett isn't anywhere near as good as Hammond or Schneiderlin, not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilsburydoughboy Posted 3 January, 2010 Share Posted 3 January, 2010 If we had accepted Ray Ranson's SISU bid then chances are Elliott Ward would already be our player and this thread would be moot. You sir should lay off the heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 3 January, 2010 Share Posted 3 January, 2010 Not sure Hammond and Schneiderlin can play together? Not exactly bossing the midfield week in week out are they!? I don't think that's a problem with the two of them as a pair, more that they dont trust our centre backs to retain possesion so they keep coming deep to get the ball and then staying deep. If we had a cultured ball playing centre back alongside Jaidi who could play from defence It would help Hammond and Schneiderlin and give us a bit more balance. Most of our play goes straight over their heads because our defenders take the easy option and pump the ball to Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 3 January, 2010 Share Posted 3 January, 2010 (edited) I don't think that's a problem with the two of them as a pair, more that they dont trust our centre backs to retain possesion so they keep coming deep to get the ball and then staying deep. If we had a cultured ball playing centre back alongside Jaidi who could play from defence It would help Hammond and Schneiderlin and give us a bit more balance. Most of our play goes straight over their heads because our defenders take the easy option and pump the ball to Lambert. Was trying to think of cultured CBs the other day. Hard pressed to think of one in the championship let alone L1. Its one of those areas that you have to go foreign - thought JPS was fairly assured on the ball. In the absence of one, Hammond and Schneiderlin have to come deep a la Safri. Hammond hasn't got the passing range to do the role and to the extent Schneiderlin can pick a pass, there's not enough movement in front of him to cause damage. Any club will that does its homework will know to cover the flanks for the cross field ball which is often the only option open to Schneiderlin. As such I don't think Schneiderlin and Hammond are balanced. Neither has the pace or power to pass and move and break beyond defenders and take them out of position - so that even with a cultured CB, its unlikely that either would be a genuine outlet. It leaves us very reliant on the wings who are usually found with a slow-moving ball played square or bits and pieces breaking off Lambert. Our midfield desperately needs more movement and mobility.

St_Tel49 Posted 3 January, 2010 Share Posted 3 January, 2010 Always one or two exceptions, but fans reactions/opinions of players is generally a very good gauge of a players ability. Depends on who the fan is. My opinions are always impeccable - not so sure about yours though ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 3 January, 2010 Share Posted 3 January, 2010 Cultured centre backs ? I'm struggling to get past Franz Beckenbaur and Bobby Moore, may he rest in peace.

Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 £300k As the second bid, yes - which is what Pardew is expecting Coleman to want for him. I have to say if the first bid of £150k had been accepted I might have just had a minor orgasm at the absolute bargain we'd have got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 I only want to sign players that previous clubs fans are sad to lose - ala Lambert and Hammond. The best judge of a players ability are the fans that watch week in week out - if a player is not popular (from performances) at one club, he's unlikely to be popular here imo BR fans dont seem to fussed about losing Lines - I say we therefore look elsewhere Thierry Henry at Juventus? (or is that the exception that maybe proves the rule). Actually, I think players can sometimes blossom from a change of scenery and that picking out the best-perfoming fans' favourites can sometimes cost a premium.

Smirking_Saint Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 Donnolly any good ?? And would this rule out a move for perhaps barnard or jackson ?? Still, as i said on previous thread, we need to sort the defensive side of the team, we can score goals already, and lots of them. Lets stop wasting our time with antonio too, unless we can get him free and work on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
