Dokko Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Campbell's legs have gone, i'd rather not now. Had a better season than any of our shite! Pompy have had a better season than us. He's been decent, not as good as the year before, and i reckon next season we'll see the same kind of drop again. Distin's pace rescues him and them quite a bit, we don't have that in any of our defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been decent, not as good as the year before, and i reckon next season we'll see the same kind of drop again. Distin's pace rescues him and them quite a bit, we don't have that in any of our defenders. speaking of pompey, the type of midfielder they've got their CM packed with is what we should be targetting; big, athletic, strong bastards with pace and stamina who can get up and down the pitch and dominate teams especially away from home they struggle at home as none of those players are creative as such, i'd arrest that by signing a bearsdley-esque player to play up front with another striker (owen or martins would do) i really think that's the way we need to go...buying a CM like alonso/gerrard or whoever would cost the earth and they wouldn't come, doing it this way would protect the defence too which we so depserately need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distin's pace rescues him and them quite a bit, we don't have that in any of our defenders. I still think think he'd be better than our current crop next season... although take your point that he will no doubt decline a bit more. Just would fancy Faye & Campbell at the back, both surely would protect us from set pieces very much. Hyypia was tipped to be a fring player this year, yet he's played 20 league games and 10 champions league games. Still think Campbell has somthing to offer and is possible to get... it's actually quite difficult to think of players we can get from EPL because a lot of clubs who we could buy from, are doing so much better than us.

We really could do with some aerial prowess in the centre, we've had none since Speed left and it shows. We get no goals from mid players at set pieces and the ball sails over the heads of our short arse mids and straight to or back to the opposition. Strength, pace and power as well? That's a lot of requirements for one player, hope we can find him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that none of the current players of that calibre in the league would come to us given how shit we are at the moment and that the race for european spots is quite open to a number of these clubs. I'd like us to get these... but know it would be impossible. Diaby Muntari Diop Utaka Gilberto Silva Sadly, the type of players we may have to look to as we rebuild may include Jimmy Bullard and Giles Barnes before any of the above!

That's a lot of requirements for one player, hope we can find him. harry did OK getting all of his on decent fees...to be honest i'd take diop and muntari as our starting CM's next season in a heartbeat there'll be a couple more africans knocking about out there who fulfill those requirements and all i reckon... to be honest it's more a point about how we set up next season, i strongly believe if we try and play 2 strikers and a 'playmaking' CM we'll be just as bad...there aren't many playmaking midfielders who can compete physically these days so i'd go for a couple as mentioned above but ensure the creativity comes form the wings and the as yet unidentified beardsley type player we're a soft touch, it's something that we really can't afford to be next season or the rot might set in early on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 It really is such a shame we can't really enjoy the exciting changes being made at the club at the moment, due to the threat of relegation. If we could just stay up there will clearly be some very exciting times ahead for us. It's so nice to see investments being made in the youth at this club and not just reading about other clubs doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
