Ikon Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 This why we constantly struggle. We have signed a injury prone player on a massive 5 year deal. He has hardly played in 3 years, and another club pulled the plug cos they had concerns about his medical condition, why do we do this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Guys, do you think this means Jonas or Barton will Leave. Getting, Taylor, does that mean Jose will leave? Getting Barnetta means...?

Rich Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Sylvain Marveaux is certainly a modern football player, liking his nights out, his cars, his caps (he loves caps) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5geSsJSGBco/SoflbPqeHVI/AAAAAAAAALk/J3MMxDCUDus/s320/shola.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elbee909 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think anyone thinking we'll sign Zoggy now that we have Jonas (assuming he sticks around), Marveux, Ben Arfa, Ferguson, etc... well, it's doubtful, eh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 ATTITUDE Again, despite his talent and ability, Marveaux could improve loads on this field. In a 4-3-3 system such as Rennes’ and in most modern tactical set-ups (In which full backs are called to play a major attacking role) defensive work is a necessity for the attacking flankers. Not only failing to notice the wing-rushes of his left-back counterpart, Marveaux has often been blamed for failing to accomplish his defensive work, whether it is an initial pressing or returns to cover the flank. As a result, great moments of solitude for the men standing behind him, such a Carlos Bocanegra, often let alone to deal with two or three opponents last season, without a hope to see his team-mate rush to his rescue. Rennes Manager Frederic Antonetti himself admitted that Marveaux’ lack of work was acceptable as long as his attacking input remained as impressive as it was last season. Many coaches could rightfully consider some of Marveaux’ attitudes on the pitch as disrespectful to the team effort. As a graduate of Rennes Academy having gone through the youth teams at the club, Marveaux may well be receiving too much indulgence for his ineffective defensive work. His self-confidence is high, maybe a bit too high, and the wise words of a manager able to make him question himself and his work for the team could be a massive boost to his career. He is able to do the work however, and even started his Ligue 1 career covering for injuries at left back. Little doubt he will give more in that field if a starting eleven position was to be at stake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The most informative thing about this thread is that it tells you what time posters wake up on a Saturday morning.

maze Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Say whaaaaaaaaat? House music all night long! Went to bed at 11:30 last night, and woke up to this transfer. Better than a house music night, hopefully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert and Ginola were exactly the same in a 4-4-2 (for the most part), where you'd expecting them to contribute even more defensively than a wide-man in a front 3.

Doctor Zaius Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Not too sure about this one. On the face of it, it looks like a good signing. However if it means ditching an attempt to get in Barnetta/Zog because we've signed a lad that's not played since November on a free, then it certainly looks like we've took a risk and done it on the cheap again. Happy, but I still think we need to get in another midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think it's a bit silly accumulating wages over the number of years the player is at the club and then being shocked at the figure to be honest. Every single player is on a wage of sorts, and even the lower earners are an x million pound investments that every team has to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 5 years is a risk for a player who has missed 3 out of the alst 5 seasons with injury. It's less of a risk if it's a 2 or 3 year deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
