Chris_R Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Probably as simple as we're now actually contemplating spending money in January. actually contemplating having a discussion about the possibility that we might seriously consider the chance that we might have a meeting regarding spending money*. *If the player: - has a release clause under £5m - is under 24 - Will agree to a 5 year contract - On under £15k/week - Is Frence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 We need at least a centre half and a creative attacker. Hopefully Ashley can be persuaded getting the players we need in January will make him more money in the long run... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Might not go down well with the fashionistas, but we really lack steel and someone to pick the team up by the scruff of the neck when the going gets tough. We really miss Nolan for this imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really miss Nolan for this imo. Yeah, this too. They seem to be a fairly quiet bunch with no natural leaders. Colo has been made captain for want of a better candidate. Ba seems the strongest character but he's not a team player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how you look at it, I can't imagine many centre forwards would be happy being shifted out on the wing. He would do a job for any team in this league in that position iyam and any half decent forward will have that 'attitude' to want to be in a position where they will get chances.

Dr Venkman Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Aye I'd forgotten about the threats to leave that were to do with money, he has been moved around a fair bit though, particularly out wide, and I don't remember any rumblings of discontent about position.

Shak Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Ba doesn't strike me as a captain at all, seems to be somewhat of a brooding character on the field. Cabaye is probably the most natural captain in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really miss Nolan for this imo. Not sure i agree.... If anything we don't have enough creative players outside of Cabaye and Ben Arfa there is no one.... Our problem outside of the obvious tactics, gameplan and mentality that is well established is that we cannot keep the ball and thus overrun constantly i'm not sure how getting more steel would help it's really not the problem. If we look at our available midfielders our most creative player is Anita and he's a freaking DM there's clearly an issue in that area. Personally i think the midfield needs to be completely re-worked..... Jonas needs to be replaced with someone like Sissoko or Diame( not saying them particularly but someone of that style) and Cabaye needs a back up because without him well you can see with your own eyes what happens.

Really depends how he's aired himself. He's got every right to request playing in the centre. It's when he kicks off/threatens to leave because the manager needs to switch it up a bit, it becomes apparent he's not a team player. Not sure it has happened, but I wouldn't be surprised. If that, and the talk about him wanting/demanding £90k a week is true, he is welcome to find a new club as far as I'm concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Captains don't necessarily need to be shouting though..... Colo's style of leading by example is just as effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 HBA is great captain material. He's always questioning decisions, albeit in a relatively restrained manner compared to likes of Man U and Chelsea. He'll always stick up for another player thats in a bit of a scuffle, and most importantly of all he's got the balls to try and make something happen when no-one else has.

SiLvOR Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Agree completely, I personally feel Ben Arfa would make a great captain for us. Also think he'd relish the opportunity and raise his game even further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 If Ba leaves i would go for two forwards, both of them being able to play centrally and on the left/right, that would make Cisse our main man and give us great backup behind him and quality around him as we only have HBA at this moment. Not that i can see us going for two anyway, fucking criminal if Ba goes and we still only go for one!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i can see us going for two anyway, f***ing criminal if Ba goes and we still only go for one!!!!! As long he's not at AFCON ( the forward in question) and can play wide and uptop then we should get away with it until the summer. I agree tbh Ba and Best replacement but i doubt it would happen. Midfield needs total re-working as well and the obvious defenders too but again i don't expect much it's all dreams atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 How much were we prepared to pay for Lucky Luke? £12M? Add Ba money and some donuts (in my fucking fantasy) and we could get Remy and Aubameyang for example. We wont do this i know, but it would show some ambition without really paying ridiculous money. Would give us massive options and some real quality. 30 seconds wasted of my life posting this. But hey, just an opinion on a forum of what type of players i'd like.
