Mick Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Dont really like the idea of going to the Stadium of Light with only Colo and Jonas over the age of 27 (asuming we don't sell them as well) and a load of new french signings still finding their feet. Really hope Bartons still here and somewhere in the middle of the park for that game. Although the same applies for the whole season really - Looking at the experience in the squad, I'd definitely make sure he was in the 1st 11 more often than not Agreed, people seem to think these new players are going to be firing on all cylinders from the off. We can't afford to just chuck all of the new signings in together and hope that they can play together from day 1. We'll need as much experience as we can get at the start of the season and I'm concerned that we're trying to do too much by bringing in a lot of foreigners who have no or little experience of this league. I would think at this time we're probably looking at starting with 5 new players, I include Ban Arfa as a new player as he's played so few games. I’m not sure how we’d handle a few poor results early in the season if we have too many new players to the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Can you point out where he makes it 'pretty clear that he values the old guard above the new arrivals'? You mean you want quotes where he's specifically said this? Don't think you will find them. You did think his quote was a jealous reaction to the news of Cabaye signing though, which suggests you thought he wasn't happy about one of the new arrivals coming in does it not?

Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I can maybe see your point against Sunderland (although remember when Big Sam dropped the likes of Beye, Martins, Enrique & Geremi for people like S.Taylor at right-back & Smith on a man-marking job on Kenwyne Jones because he wanted people who'd understand the derby...weirdo), but against Arsenal, their game would probably mirror what we're trying to aim for.

ponsaelius Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Like has been said we'll hopefully have pre-season to bed most of the signings in and get them used to each other. Different ball game once you get to the real deal, but still it should help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sink or swim against Arsenal and the mackems? I wouldn't like to go into it without some experience backing me up, I know that much. How much experience do you think we should have? Would you include Ba as someone with experience coming from half a season in the Premiership? I wouldn't have any problem with throwing Ba + someone new in up front as with experience or not they would have to have a shocker to do worse than Shola and Lovenkrands. From the midfield I think we could go 2 from last season and 2 new guys with Marveaux being used from the bench, a lot will depend on the formation we set out with pre season though.

It's not even so much the opposition, although they're very tough games to kick off with - simple fact is that some players take longer than others to adjust to the league, some never do, and you don't really know for sure until you throw them in. Some take to it like a duck to water (Tiote, even Ben Arfa what we saw of him) but asking several to do it at once alongside each other isn't going to make it easy.
