Geordie Ahmed Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 A new CM pairing for the West Ham game :frantic: Actually, who I kidding, one of them will be on the bench whilst Colback stinks up the place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 £12m? Swansea laughing their tits off I bet. As we will be if we get more than £2.5 mil for Tiote. Deduct the reported £8 mil we're going to get for Tiote and we're doing okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 £12m? Swansea laughing their tits off I bet. 12 is the new 6 these days Exactly. Grabban was about 8 million and Afobe 9. Praying for a Colback yellow tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 £12m? Swansea laughing their tits off I bet. Good price for a youngish England midfielder imo. Pity it isn't Barkley mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Spoke to a Swansea lad I know and he said he's rubbish as a holding midfielder or deep midfielder but has potential as a box-to-boxer. He reckons as long as he's not got the most defensive responsibility of the CMs, he'll be OK. Can be very, very erratic in his performances, though.

nortoon Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 CB, LB, ST next pls Aye. LB being top priority IMO, as Dummett is utter garbage. So true, spend 10m on a strong and quick lb that has the technique to play football as well as defend and the team is suddenly far better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 At least they're trying something, which is a start. Not convinced on Shelvey. Obviously I'd hope he's a substantial upgrade on what we have now but the fact Swansea are willing to flog him for what I would consider to be a low fee for an England international of his age is a concern.

Zero Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Spoke to a Swansea lad I know and he said he's rubbish as a holding midfielder or deep midfielder but has potential as a box-to-boxer. He reckons as long as he's not got the most defensive responsibility of the CMs, he'll be OK. Can be very, very erratic in his performances, though. Shelvey basically has no defense. Those who think Shelvey and Saivet could make a good partnership and bring us better results need to realize this hugely depends on how many goals we can score because now the protection for our back four is non existent.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 i see him as someone they're bringing to pull the strings due to his range of passing, direct the game etc. which we have absolutely none of atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I know some people will be underwhelmed by this but I'll be absolutely delighted if this comes off. A forward passer in the middle of the pitch who's capable of adding a threat from distance as well is something we've lacked since Cabaye left. He could be pivotal in keeping us up if the right people are left out of the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 If Shelvey and Saivet do what they are meant to I would expect the team to significantly improve in all areas lessening the need for others... I agree with this. I think it'll also give us a more balanced midfield as playing with 2 deep lying DM's is the biggest reason for us not creating chances in each game.

sempuki Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Could this be Cabaye's replacement at last? Not as good but at least we are having a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
