ponsaelius Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't rate him. Surprising. Just think he's very average. Cannot beat a man, crossing is not great. Set pieces seem to fly over the bar more often than not. Not an upgrade on Barton, where is he going to play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Amazing that everyone thinks he is going to be RW cover. I'm sure he'll be brought in as LW cover as we already have routeldge on the RW for cover for Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Good signing if it comes off - I'd still have Barton right side though, as he's been a revelation there this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Still so many people willing to see Barton moved away from the right, even for a player like Larsson. I'm going to sound like Ronny here but are you guys blind? Maybe you're right but we still need a squad so we're not bricking it every time there's an injury. I don't know a whole lot about Larsson but if he's as good as people are making out (better than Jonas) and he's that price then for a club on a budget looking to build he'd be a shrewd addition. He has 5 assists for a club 2 points off bottom place which suggests he's got something. Good age, Premier League experience, cheap. Barton's doing a brilliant job on the right, but there'll be times when he's injured, loses form, or has to move inside due to an injury to Nolan. I don't fancy Routledge at all to be honest either as backup or to bring off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much a difference there. Jonas can't cross with either foot, but playing him on the left works to an extent because he's quick, a good ball carrier and can take people on (or atleast last season he did). Larsson is a 'wide midfielder' more than anything, not much pace but has reasonable delivery. He's very right footed meaning he's almost exclusively right sided - playing him on the left negates his best attributes and playing onto his left he's even more inadequate than Jonas there.

Then what is the point in us signing Larsson then, we already have an in-balanced squad as it is. This will make it worse.

thomas Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think it's more likely that Pards wants Barton to play in the middle and isn't thoroughly convinced by Wayne. Seb is a step up and allows him to move forward with the change in formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Just because we sign someone for a bit of money doesn't mean we have to push them straight into our first team. Whoever we sign in Jan is going to have to fight there way into the first team. Our midfield is working well at the moment with barton's delivery and passion on the right with spiderman's pace and workrate on the left. If we sign larrson or bentley or whoever there's no harm in it creating compitition for places. We still have Dan Gosling and HBA to come back from injury aswell which will boost the midfield options furthur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
