TRon Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Was listening to talksport in the car before the game today, and one of the pundits talking about us was saying he liked the look of the two full backs, Enrique and Beye, and how they would only be stronger next season. After the last few games, I hope we aren't looking anywhere else tbh. Fair play to Fat Sam, he was a low level manager with limited vision but he signed a couple of good un's there I reckon.

Guest Toepoke Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Pity we didn't get Hutton though. However Beye has done very well coming in from a foreign league and Enrique has come on well from a very shaky start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Beye's getting on a bit so we'll have to look to replace him soonish, absolute class player though, good for another season at the very least imo. Enrique looks better by the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 If Wenger had signed Beye this summer, everyone in the press would have been raving about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc222 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think Beye has been excellent and although perhaps a sign of our poor season would probably go down as our player of the season. Shame he is at the wrong end of his career As for enrique on the ball looks very composed but still makes a couple of mistakes every game however undoubtedly is improving with games. Also at times has to be encouraged too much to come forward but I guess this will come with confidence. I think they are uefa cup level fullbacks at that is the level we should be aiming at next season so they are one of the areas of the squad which are good enough.

NE5 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 all the back four should be kept at the club. We have certain priorities, which are not the back four. Those priorities are the same as last summer, irrespective of the fact that Allardyce has signed 3 better defenders we haven't done any better in fact have been worryingly worse until last week. Which proves the point that the wrong priorities were looked at last summer. We are now going to stay up. If we want to get into the top 4 we have to start matching them in the transfer market again. For talented forward players and not these journeymen johnny averages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Seems a lot of mentions of Beye needing to be replaced soon, i reckon he's got at least another couple of good seasons left in him. Next season i'd like to see Beye and Enrique as our starting two, with another two brought in as back ups. Not really that keen on Bridge, sounds like a piss head and will be expecting to start every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You would have thought a top quality centre back would be high on Keegan's shopping list after moving for Woodgate, we really lack a leader at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Next season: Rightbacks: 1) Beye 2) Brown Leftbacks: 1) Brigde 2) Enrique I would be more than happy with that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 the problem with Enrique and Beye is that they're both defensive full-backs. Enrique isn't the sort to get to the byline and prefers playing passes from deep, whereas Beye is a converted centre-half who, while he can motor upfield well, doesn't have a lot of quality in his final ball (see him hitting the crossbar today). It's ok having one full-back like this but with both of them naturally conservative it can limit your options going forward. I think Keegan prefers full-backs who can attack and will want at least one of them in his side to do this. Not really a priority at the minute but next summer with Beye getting on i think we'll replace him with and out and out attacking full-back like Eboue or Evra. very impressed with both of them btw. Enrique has looked top notch and as i said earlier, his ability and especially his composure makes a mockery of allardyce's decision to go with N'Zogbia earlier in the campaign.

hallihg Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hutton was shit today and hes not that consistent. Beye is far better imo. Wish he had scored today, that would have been a brilliant goal and all of you would be worshipping him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 They both look fine for next season. Enrique imo could become a very good player. There's a couple of things he needs to work on like his final ball but overall he looks very accomplished. It's also worth remembering that while it's all well and good having them hit the byline we only have 3 in midfield right now so it's not always a good idea.
