Guest Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Good player from what I've seen, never worth £10million though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Someone might want to correct me on this, but Hoilett doesn't look like a natural wide player. He plays wide right in a 4-3-3 which allows him to cut inside and have a dig. Much like Ben Arfa I can see Pardew seeing him more of a player who plays in the hole rather than out wide.

Stifler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Out of all the players we have been linked with theirs non I'd like more than Hoilett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 We need a striker that come in and score goals, a rotation centre back and even a fullback before I'd be wanting to spend on Zaha. Talented but still raw and miles away from being ready, screams Connor Wickham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoilett can play in the hole or on either flank so yes much like Ben Arfa..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic example of a young, small, quick player so the manager thinks shit! best stick him on the wing out of the way thus far rather than the classic winger.

Jagten Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If i remember correctly, hoilett was recently played in the middle, before being switched out to the flank where he was 'significantly more effective' . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It'll be interesting what sort of forward we'll (eventually) buy to compliment Ba. For a majority of the season Ba has played deeper than his partner up top. I thought we might go for a strong hold-up player but we appear to be targeting forwards who like to play on the shoulder and get in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToonZA Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Really cannot see us buying a striker in this window. We need to get the deadwood off the books first (Loven, Smith, possibly Ranger) and it looks like that will only happen over the summer. Would love to have a striker that compliments Ba and can chip in with regular goals. Come summer I fear that instead of drooling about potential partners for Ba, I will be losing my mind with worry about whether we gonna hold onto him. Bar the deadwood, with the players we currently have and a couple of quality additions we really have the opportunity to take the club to the next level. I wish I could see the same confidence coming from the boardroom! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like the look of Zaha - very quick and also good technically. It's only the (for me) unknown factor of his temperament that might hold him back and prevent him from realising his potential. If he does go, I hope it's to a club that's going to put him in the first team fairly soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Freiburg still bottom of the league? Can't decide if that would help us or not. He's the one to get them out of trouble, but his fee can strengthen the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
