Bailey Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 A good, young and talented player. Been advocating this signing for some time now, and Saints have been tracking his progress all season. Wouldn't surprise me if we did enquire as to his availability, but whether we'll push on and attempt to sign him, I'm unsure. However, he's the kind of player that, in my opinion, would flourish in this environment and no doubt Adkins could help with his progression. I think I'm right in saying that Adkins signed him during his spell in charge at S****horpe, possibly on loan? Sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Chez Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 Very good player. Strong box to box midfielder that has looked excellent when we have played them. Didn't score the last minute screamer at SMS, that was Feeney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 A similar player to Huddelestone, has the potential to make a similar impact. Strong, classy on the ball, box to box and a nice range of passing. He'd thrive at this club IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 Sounds much more like the kind of player we would be looking at, right age and hopefully the makings of a good prem player. One of the more realistic rumours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingwing Posted 2 June, 2012 Share Posted 2 June, 2012 Fm 12 has him down as rather good, real life says he'll provide something our midfield could do with (a talented Chaplow). 1.5-2m is pretty reasonable buying too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 3 June, 2012 Share Posted 3 June, 2012 Do box to box midfielders really exist in the modern game? Do we play with any? A: no. Trotter is a good player though, and adaptable to a couple of Mf roles. No better than what we have though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 3 June, 2012 Share Posted 3 June, 2012 Could be true as Adkins does seem keen on players with a S****horpe connection. Thats OK as long as he gives as much consideration to the great majority who don't know where S****horpe is and wouldn't go there even if they did. The last manager who seemed to give extra attention to players who had played for him before was George Burley. Nothing wrong with knowing a player from having worked with him previously, as long as it doesn't rule out other options who might be even better.

Most good teams play some form of 433/4231 and midfielders don't have to run around like lunatics to control midfield. A 442 can be dominated by good midfielders, which we're lucky to have. A box to box midfielder plays the attacking and defensive roles of 2 men and to do that in these days of fitter players, you need to be some super-pumped-up beast like Yaya Toure. Not many players have the stamina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. We have to say that IF he was that good, surely a Prem. club would have picked him up already. Interesting though how a thread like this can be started and have such diverse opinions from fans. Rather like those " Back from the Match " threads after every game, when one person says that so-and-so was s*it , and someone else say he was Man of the Match ? I only hope NA gets it right ...regardless of whether he signs the guy, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
