Guest neesy111 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 How many defensive midfielders does a club need! Negative signing as it shows were more concerned about not conceding than actually scoring enough goals to keep us up One would be nice. bearing in mind we have shola,McLoven,ranger,carroll,best i'm guessing neesy see's no need for us to buy a forward. no i don't, but what i'm trying to say is a good DM more of a priority than getting a good forward, if it is then i do fear for us this season i very much doubt they have a list of priorities and only work on them in order one at a time. that is what i'm fearing at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My other concerns with the number of CM's we have at the club if the signing comes (costing vast amounts in wages as well) is that hughton is likely to go down the 451 route quite often possibly in away games but like last season he dropped smith and butt, he'll play two wide men home and away.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 On paper, a dedicated defensive midfielder with good fitness and work rate should improve Nolan/Barton/Guthrie's game, allowing them more creative freedom and that.. I just wonder who is on their way out.. Hopefully Smith i don't believe hughton will sell anyone of his favourite central midfielders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative signing as it shows were more concerned about not conceding than actually scoring enough goals to keep us up I don't really want to bite, but you're talking nonsense, again! We don't have a player capable of playing that role as things stand. I'd imagine though that you'd find a way to find a negative in any signing we make.

Cajun Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Was it the Ben Afra thread that broke Neesy? I don't remember him being this negative about everything before that thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder who is on their way out.. Hopefully Smith i don't believe hughton will sell anyone of his favourite central midfielders more so down to being unable to than want. their wages make them very prohibitive. if tiote is confirmed do you think he'll play smith,guthrie or nolan before him ?

And you talking nonsense aain ino We have no defensive midfielders, we have no creative midfielders as well Oh, we do. The only problem with our particular creative midfielders is that their legs are gone. Both Guthrie and Barton's got a decent pass and a good eye for working out chances.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 guys so what happens if routledge and jonas both get injured, do we prey that we can play 4 central midfielders across the midfield? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Hughton would play Vuckic and Raylor on the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
