Mick Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Came into his own when we signed Hamann. Those two were probably the best central-midfield pairing I've seen for us in the short time they played, and proved that if you've intelligence, passing ability & can time your runs, pace isn't everything. Working out that he wasn't a winger helped Speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 To be fair though, when we first signed Speed we had Lee & Batty in the centre, and no natural left-winger at the club, so was pretty much forced to play there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Most of us at the time wanted Georgi Kinkladze in rather than Speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Srnicek? Came over and was second-choice keeper in a struggling Second Division side, then understudy to Tommy Wright in Division One, and then again to Mike Hooper in our first season up, before becoming a pretty decent Premier League goalkeeper. I never rated Srnicek, but he was better than a struggling Second Division side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Most of us at the time wanted Georgi Kinkladze in rather than Speed. yeah I can't recall too many calls for 4 central midfileders across the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
