BlueStar Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Would it really be awful having Beattie on the books? Where would he fit in the pecking order and would you really prefer the player directly below him in that order on the pitch instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a body just for the sake of having a body, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think we've got till the end of the week to get a free in before you have to register your 25 man squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Would rather play Sameobi and Vuckic than Lovenkrands, so it's the same for any free transfer shite we could potentially bring in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If it was a choice of Sammy/Vuckic or Beattie I'd go for the former, but think it's going to be a matter of if we'd rather have Beattie or Lovenkrands starting in some games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'd sooner see Beattie than Lovenkrands, but I'd also sooner see SaAmeobi, Ben Arfa, Best, ShAmeobi, Ba, Obertan and Vučkić up-front ahead of Lovenkrands. So Beattie would probably still be 7th on my pecking order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 There should and probably won't be any shitty free transfer strikers coming. Very happy about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Beattie would probably still be 7th on my pecking order. We actually have an embarrassment of riches in that position when you think about it. Seriously though, if Vuckic and Sammy Ameobi are deemed 'ready' enough then it would be stupid not to give them minutes in the circumstances we're in at the minute.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Beattie's probably worse than Lovenkrands, as mental as that sounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I hate the attitude towards youth not being ready. There's absolute nothing to gain from playing Lovenkrands, so play Sammy and Vuckic. They've got undoubted potential IMO and are actually proving to be better on the pitch NOW than the alternatives.

I'm with you but it really does depend - you could hoy a 16 year old from the reserves in at left back for the next 10 games and it could completely destroy his confidence if he wasn't 'ready'. I'm happy for the 2 mentioned to be introduced as subs for the next few games and we see where we go from there. There's really no need to be playing Lovenkrands at all at the minute anyway as it should be Ba/Best/Shola battling for 1 or 2 forward positions with the kids providing cover for the time being.

Fair enough. I think Sammy should have been coming on instead of Smith at the weekend though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Put me in at left-back. I know I'll be shit, so when I get skinned repeatedly it'll come as no great disappointment. Then, bring on Santon and he'll be a massive improvement even if he's total balls. After five matches of that, the crowd'll be singing his name and begging for him to come off the bench and pleading that he starts games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
