Captain Underpants Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I want us to really adress the midfield situation this summer. We have a couple of good players, but for some reason it doesnt work. We need an outlined plan on how we want our midfield to play, with one defensive midfielder, a beast if you like, and one player who comes forward, maybe a box-to box player in the Scott Parker mould. Scott Parker alongside maybe Raul Meireles (sp) with two pacey wingers would be great. I think that is what we are missing at the moment, with both Guthrie and Nolan playing with basically in the same role. They both want to attack and keep hold of the ball far to much with the defensive part of their game seemingly falls short. (Sorry if my english isnt up to standard today, im a bit drunk and have a headache. Maybe the alcohol is why I have a headache, but for now it seems to be curing it. Atleast that is what I keep telling myself. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Parker isn't really box-to-box, although he'd like to think it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I really have no desire to see that pirouette at SJP again. No matter how nice a pirouette it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Gojko Kacar from Herta Berlin, perfect box to box player and he´s young. Would probably consider a move since Hertha is horrible at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Bur I'd put most of the transer money on the defence. -An established PL centre back -A young right back to compete with Simpson -A young left back to compete with Enrique Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add an established PL striker and a promising central midfielder perhaps someone like Cleverly, and Id be pleased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 We'll need at least one proven striker (no idea who though), one ball-winning midfielder (Gojko Kacar would be fantastic, probably out of or reach though), and possibly a right-back.

Shayno Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'd really like to see us sign a left footed winger that could play on the left or right of midfield. McGeady is one i'd love to see us sign. It would add so much balance to our team while giving us much more attacking options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an overrated bastard, anytime I see this jock wearing the green he is fucking abysmal. Brum wanted him in January and apparently Sellick wanted over £10M for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think we should go for Owen Hargreaves, he hasn't been getting into the Man Utd squad for a while. Used to be a good player England, don't think Capello likes him though as he hasn't been in (m)any of his squads. reckon we could get him on the cheap? Could play right back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 McGeady would be an excellent signing for us, even at £10m. But firstly we need to sign a CM and a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Difference between Hargreaves & Smith of course being that Hargreaves was actually good before he got injured. Always felt Smith was one of the most over-rated player in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocho Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm sure Smith looked decent upfront when he was playing for Leeds, but since Fergie tried to play him in centre mid, he's gone completely downhill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 McGeady would be a terrible signing at that money and is no better than what we have. He ALWAYS buckles in the big games. Would much rather McCarthy from Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather McCarthy from Wigan. I'd prefer Andrew Driver, played his first game back from injury for a while on Saturday and played the full 90mins in their darby and never stopped running, he scored the first and setup the second from his corner.
