miamiwhite Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 simon cox signing for forest today for £2million. re the central midfield post,agree totally with casino on this. we're certainly threadbare in that department,got to get at least 1 further quality player in there. imagine the scenario this time next week if we don't sign anybody,then wake up to hear the news that mark davies has signed for the jacks. that would seriously leave us in the shit Quote
superkev Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Wouldn't be happy if we signed him though Quote

Danny G Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Playing with 2 out and out wingers plus Mavies in the middle is a recipe for disaster, we will get smashed in midfield Quote
Garrp Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Playing with 2 out and out wingers plus Mavies in the middle is a recipe for disaster, we will get smashed in midfield If he can't put his foot in even to a basic level then suprisingly he wont be playing for England or a big team in his lifetime. Im sick to death of all these mark davies excuses. (not from you danny, im talking in general) his ability to tackle isnt a problem, i actually think he does more defensively than he does attacking wise. he is a central midfielder he can tackle None of these excuses used are the problem. The problem is, hes being labelled as a key man going forward and he doesnt do it consitently enough. If those with an irrational hated of owen coyle took a step back and had a look, we are much better playing 442 than 451. Quote
Garrp Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 If he cant play in a 442 then hes not the player you lot think he is hes not a 4,6, 8 or even a fucking 2 million pound player. he is a central midfielder he is FACT just accept it. Coyle, Megson, Mick McCarthy & Nigel Pearson. They all wernt wrong. Why are Swansea trying to sign him to replace joe allen ffs and if anyone tells me hes the same sort of player as Van der Vaart again Quote
enzo gambaro Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Diouf to Leeds. Warnock's obviously forgotten calling him a lot of nasty names. Quote

birch-chorley Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I want to see Sordell and Afobe start up front, Sordell looks like a great link up man and battler whilst Afobe is our only out and out striker. Lets hope he gets the goals. LCY and Petrov are a given and rightly so. That leaves 2 from Mark Davies, Prately, Andrews and Vela. The numbers are right, 4 for 2 places is about right especially with holden due back but the current 4 all seem attacking to me. We need to get a ball winner in and fuck one of the above off. Until that point who would be the best pair to do both a defense and attack job? Fucked if I can find a 2 I am happy with. I would have to go Andrews and mark Davies. If these two are our first choice in the middle though I think automatic will be out of reach by Xmas. Not enough balance. In defence it's a much of a muchness, one from Alonso/Ricketts - Riley/Mears and any two from Knight/Mills/Ream. Cigarette paper between them. Ow and Bogdan in goal Edited August 11, 2012 by birch-chorley Quote

Garrp Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Early signs, reckon Bogdan could be under threat from Lonegran. The main problem for our defence now is ricketts. Hes our best defender but the way owen has shaped the squad and the emergence of Riley, his number 1 position is now left back and I dont like him there. I like Mears/riley/rickets at right back I like alonso at left back But i dont like rickets at left back. Anyway, it is what it is. I think owen goes with Mills and Knight with ream on the bench. Whiever it is i hope he sticks with the two until one is injured or suspendes, i do not want to see chopping and changing until we get a clean sheet. Pick your two and stick with them until you are forced to bring the other in. Upfront, i think we all agree sordell starts. After that its 1 from 3 or even 2. Will he play Davies? I think he will, but not sure if thats right or wrong to be honest. We all know Ngog is better, but does being captain/leader outweigh the difference in ability? Again though, i dont want a different 2 every game, pick your best 2 and stick with them until you are forced to change. Wings are sorted, as are andrews and mavies, the latter doesnt get a another full season of excuses though. Get your head down and do it, you aint one for the future anymore. The last one is eagles deserves to start, but dont see how he can. Hopefully he spends the season fighting to make the starting XI as the rest are playing really well and we have a bit of luck with injuries and suspensions. Trying to to think about holden as it aint looking good. Quote
Sweep Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Early signs, reckon Bogdan could be under threat from Lonegran. I've never been overly impressed with Bogdan, so hopefully he can come good this year. I hope that Lonergan has been brought in to compete for a starting place and not just as an automatic benchwarmer. Quote

Mounts Kipper Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I'm hearing from a good source Chung yong has a clause where he gets hefty appearance money and expect Eagles to be first choice as money is tight, Davies will leave this week, Eddie is clearing the decks and overheads as he wants to sell up, sorry to be the bearer of bad news it's just what I'm being told.

HomerJay Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I honestly do not see any kind of player in alonso. None at all. Quote
