Guest neesy111 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's a gamble, but you have to ask the question: is the current squad capable of staying up without the addition of quality? I think it is. But only just. Do we want to take that kind of a risk though? Yes. I do. Why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 hadn't realised the Ben Arfa had been dropped from the latest French squad. Good for us though as he can get used to the players in training ready for Blackpool rather than signing then disappearing for a week the the french team.

Chris_R Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd be interested to see Ben Arfa on the left, and the right-footed Jonas on the right wing where he might actually be able to cross a ball. Not that I think Routledge deserves to be dropped, I've just always wanted to see Jonas play on the right for a bit to see how he does. We saw, we were relegated. I don't remember him playing there that often (Though my memory's not massively reliable on who played what position and when), he was still very much mainly on the left from what I remember. When he did play on the right he was often our only winger (And only attacking outlet) and was crowded out by 2 or 3 opponents at a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he cuts inside now because he's a right footed player who is playing on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 His attitude is a risk worth taking for us, especially on loan. I doubt he will be much worse than some of the petulant behaviour shown by Bellamy, Robert, N'Zog, Dyer or Barton. Whilst he is still young he is close to getting a reputation that clubs wont touch him with a bargepole. Hughton will drill that into him.. Hopefully before Barton or Carrolls fist or forehead oblige. Bottom line is there is no way a player of his talent should be coming to us, as mentioned earlier, if it wasnt for the baggage he would be somewhere much higher flying.

TRon Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 As far as Douglas's comments go I think most people know the lads trouble. If he wasn't troubled we'd have to pay £20m for him not a loan with a £5m future fee or whatever. One player, who isn't even contracted to the club past next year, can't destroy the morale of the entire side IMO. If his ability doesn't end up being worth the hassle send him back early. On the nail. I almost look on this as purely a loan signing as I expect the little drama queen will flounce off after a year. But flawed talent is the only sort we can afford right now so I'm happy to make the most of it while he's here, then if he clicks here and stays on it's a mega bonus.

Skirge Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 He's an arrogant huffy French cunt there is no doubting that, and I am sure at some point we will see that side of him. But that is no reason at all not to sign him, Anelka is known as Le Sulk for good reason and everyone one of us would love him here.. he will be outstanding quality compared to what we have already, who cares if he has a winge now and then.. then in a few seasons jumps on a plane to sign for Real or Barca and we made a £20mill profit.

Pilko Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm sure Enrique said it seems like Hughton works 24 hours a day for the club, the fact that he's in and ready for an interview at 8.30am suggests he does late nights and early mornings.
