TRC Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Don't like the idea of this guy for 4mill. I'd rather we just bought an under 21 international, who could try and break into the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Think we will push this one to go through at the last minute for 3.5m, then balls something up and get no-one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonZA Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 was quiet i thought so not the best game to judge him. nosworthy was much more involved, which is probably tactical. mariappa on the other hand tended to drop back rather than attack the ball or mark closely, which would be ideal for us playing a high line as he can cover in behind. Yeah remember Nosworthy, but not gonna say where from IMO Nosworthy's in the bottom ten worst CB's to have graced the PL. Relies on brute strength and mis-timed tackles. Looks more like a boxer than a footballer. If Mariappa can control him and the defensive line then I say go for it. Other than Colo, our other defenders are incapable of controlling our defence hence we struggle badly when he is not available. A backup to Colo in that regard is just what we need.

geordie jamie Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is going to be a long day seems alot of players we have been strongly linked with could easily end up at other clubs zaha, morisson and now mariappa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We are mega desperate for a CB. I'd be seething if we get no one as that would be plain mis management and could easily ruin this very promising season of ours. I'd be relieved if we managed to get someone but a bit underwhelmed by this signing If it's Williamson who gets injured we would have the smallest CB pairing in the league. 6 foot Colo can really struggle against the bigger more physical forwards as it is. Not seen much of Mariappa but at 5'10 i doubt he's going to be alot better than Colo in that particular area. Teams like Stoke could have a field day. Hopefully this could be to tie us over until the summer. Good that he can play Right Back as well though as Simpson has had a strange season and can be good and can be poor at times too though. We could certainly strengthen that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 There aren't a great deal of centre halfs available in this window. I would be tempted to just wait 6 months for Douglas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
