Skirge Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd be gutted if after hitting the transfer market we still end up having to start Barton on the right wing, surely we will be looking at an out and out winger for that position? Despite Barton being a great player on right wing? Great... hmmm best option we have more like it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 ---------------------- Harper/Forster -- Simpson --- Coloccini --- Williamson --- Enrique? ---------------------------- Tiote -------------------------- ------------------ Barton -------- Nolan ----------------- -- Gervinho ------------------------------------ Ben Arfa ----------------------- Sow/Gameiro --------------------- With a CB of Colo's standard, instead of Williamson and a decent replacement for Enrique, this is a starting XI to push for top 8, in my opinion. I could live with that ... add to that a bench of Jonas... Gosling, Ireland and quilt y left back we will be decent top ten side with a good cup run...

Ikon Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I know that Barton has been playing very well on the right, it's also his first season without as many injurys as before. He hasn't exactly had any decent wingers with some movement/pace when he has played in CM, doesn't make it easier to perform either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Barton's out of position in that side. Forster Simpson Williamson Coloccini Enrqiue Barton Tiote New Playmaker Ben Arfa Gameiro Best/New Striker They won't drop Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 That could be a good lineup Skirge. But I'm uncertain about Sow. This is his first season he's scoring on a regular basis. He may be a one hit wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's developed a lot as a player and a person this season, it would be unwise to write him off as a CM. As he ages, he'll have no option but to play in field. Btw, I do go to games.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Got my hopes up today when I saw 5 or 6 French sites mentioning us with Sow and Gervinho but they all refer to the Metro article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 You'd have to have a fucking screw loose to want him playing centrally tbh. Use your eyes instead of the specific position you've seen him assigned to on a computer game please folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ten times the player in RM. Hilarious! On the on hand you say that Barton has not good enough control or presence to handle the CM--position. But on the other hand, you manage to defend Nolan, the incarnation of non-movement, who got no close control what so ever or a general presence in CM.
