Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thing is though, what decent left-back is going to come knowing they're only going to play when Enrique's injured? If we could find a left-winger who can also play left-back then we've hit the jackpot, otherwise we're looking at a lower league player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Left back is the only position we should be looking to sign back-up for, we should be looking to strengthen everywhere else, though obviously left wing and up front are priorities. True story. Strengthen in the Defensive midfield position too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 we should just use one of our PL loan allocations on a back-up LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 we should just use one of our PL loan allocations on a back-up LB I can't see any Premier League clubs agreeing to see a young player sit on our bench rather than theirs, nor can I see an experienced left-back leave their club to be back up again.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Robbie Keane is the striker equivalent of Damien Duff when we signed him. Although on loan he'd be a decent option. Nothing permanent however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I know this goes against everything I said earlier but if cheap enough would Wheater and O'Neill from Boro be worth a punt? Sure I read on there they were trying to get rid. Used to like O'Neil but no idea how good he is now, we could do with one more CM imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewBoyPeetah Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'd be outraged if we bought O'Neil. Last time I saw him he was bigger than Steven Taylor! Whiter on the other hand would be a decent squad player. I haven't seen him since he was in the prem so maybe I'm a bit off but he was good when they got relegated.

TRon Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 We should sign that Wigan left winger, he can play left back. The Sunderland fans seem to have this ludicrous notion that Bruce might fancy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Why not try for Joe Mattock? He is cack though that is why WBA have not given him a game this season. That other defender who is naff at WBA who iirc you were keen on Gianni Zuiverloon is also available. Back to Mattock he is available, he is 20 & if we could get him for £500K then maybe it is worth the punt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Last I heard of O'Neil he was hankering after a move back down south the season Boro went down. Rated him when he was at Pompey as a tidy grafter, then Boro were intent on playing him right wing. No idea what hes like now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Wheater is he any good at defending? I cant remember, all I can remember him for is scoring goals from set plays. He seems more Matty Elliot than Tony Adams when it comes to playing football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Wheater would be the worlds greatest cb back in the 70's and would probably be captain of Leeds Utd lifting trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Mowbray has said he is open to offers in January. Personally I think we should think twice about hijacking the numerous bids from freakshows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Infact, a little peak on Boro's forum and they're tearing into Wheater after tonight. Understand it was Wheater mistake oh dear will have to look on Sky as they are already showing the goals Is it me or have we had two clean sheets without Wheater and the next came he's straight back and we lose? Our defence is shocking when Wheater is around. Ive always said hes not even good enough for the championship and should have been sold when his reputation was at its highest. I dunno if todays goals were his fault or not' date=' but our defense is much less solid with him in it, and I cant believe 3 managers in a row havent seen this.
