Guest Heneage Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Distinctly average player who caused Enrique no trouble at St Andrews. Yes he's versatile but he's average in all positions, I want players that stand chance of taking the club forward, Kapo is one of them. He was the best player on the pitch until he went off injured. Sorry what? McFadden and Zarate were alot more dangerous. McFadden could be argued I guess but Zarate was only on for 10 mins and did f*** all bar shooting into row z. Nonetheless Larsson was very much Brum's creative spark in midfield and they didn't look the same when he came off. Zarate didn't get onto the pitch until the 86th minute. Your point being? I still felt alot more nervous watching him on the ball than Larsson, same with McFadden, who btw not only scored their goal but was toying with Enrique for much of the game.

Baggio Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I could see him doing a job in Martins position and it would mean we arent so restricted to that formation. We're not restricted to that formation though but having the players already on the pitch gives Keegan the option to change formation if things are going badly. He probably could do a job in Martins position but he isn't as good as Martins there so would only be back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backwards signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I know he can hit a great direct free kick but what are the rest of his set pieces like? For £2-3m I'd definitely take him like as a squad player. You can barely buy an average Championship player for that these days and he's impressed me whenever I've seen him, the game at St Andrew's turned round when he went off.

Because you felt more nervous that means he did more? I was nervous too but that was because I didn't want us to throw the game away like we did against Blackburn, nothing to do with Zarate being a more dangerous player. For me Larsson pulled the strings for Birmingham in the first half until he got clattered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can barely buy an average Championship player for that these days and he's impressed me whenever I've seen him, the game at St Andrew's turned round when he went off. Again i don't want us to buy squad players, but £3m players of his talent and versatility will come in useful for us, and gives us chance to get rid of some of the older players who are not working out. We need to youthen (if there's such a word) the team, and we need or sqaud players to be in his kind of mould, not the £60kpw Duff who does fukk all and is nearly 30.

olliemort Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Would be a good signing for us.We dont have many right sided midfielders and I reckon Larsson is as good as Milner from what I seen last season anyways.Get him and Zarate from Brum and that wouldnt be a bad start.

Parsley Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 He's certainly better than Geremi with alot of potential still there. Would be well suited to our 433 as well, perhaps more so than Milner imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 According to Swedish channel TV4 we've had a £4m bid for Larsson turned down. They just mentioned it speaking about Swedens game against Greece on Tuesday. Apparently they want to wait and hope that they can get more money if he has a successful tournament..

James Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Wouldn't be unhappy with Larsson as a squad player. Can cover a number of positions, and I'm told he can take a good set piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 dunno if this has been said, but at TV4 (Swedish TV channel) just before the match between Germany and Poland, the Swedish commentators said Newcastle have lunched a 50 million SEK bid for Larsson. (about £4,25 million using this converter http://coinmill.com/GBP_SEK.html#SEK=50000000). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Goodish player and at that money no harm done. Can play 2/3 positions and still developing. For me it's a quiet buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I like him, slow as fuck but then I like Milner aswell. The sort of player who would take us forward but should/would ultimately be used as a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
