Flip Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think he's a good player, so reasonably pleased about this one. More talent in his nutsack than the likes of Anita, Tiote and Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He's decent like. He's actually a footballer, despite the fact he can't run. Which puts him ahead of the current clowns we play in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think he's a good player, so reasonably pleased about this one. More talent in his nutsack than the likes of Anita, Tiote and Colback. More talent than the three of them combined tbh. Not that that is saying a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I'm at. I've seen him play really well for Swansea and if he find a bit of form then he'll look excellent for us. Also cautious about the fact the Swansea fans don't seem too bothered and it would appear we were pretty much the only club in for him. Half a Shelvey is better than twice a Colback.

mickthemagpie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Would start him tonight, I'm not actually joking. Just as well we have officials who know the rules. Hope he gets the winner! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, maybe got lost in the confirmation of him signing but according to Sky he's created 24 chances in 16 appearances this season. While Anita, Colback and Tiote have created 15 chances in their combined 44 appearances this season. Shelvey's been shit this season as well, so what does that make those three?

I'm sure they'll miss him once he's gone. Initially we did the same when Ba and Cabaye left IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Swansea seemed to use him quite deep, which I always thought was strange. With that responsibility on Saivet, and the freedom to focus on what happens going forward that would be great. Genuinely thrilled they realised that central midfield was a major issue. Amazing we could have a new pairing in there. Huge relief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Would start him tonight, I'm not actually joking. Look at me, look at me, I want the club to incur a 3 point penalty for fielding an illegible player. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that responsibility on Saivet, and the freedom to focus on what happens going forward that would be great. Genuinely thrilled they realised that central midfield was a major issue. Amazing we could have a new pairing in there. Huge relief. True, tbh. Would not have expected us to sign two centre-midfielders. With my 'typical expectations' glasses on, I'd have taken this and no further signings on Dec 31st. We are of course entirely capable of plugging the rest of the holes.

hakka Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Pleased we've done something. Fear of doing nothing and the famous "we tried" line was coming. Two CM's is a great start. A centre back and a striker is a must for me, but would settle for a striker more so. We need goal threat asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Got an awful feeling McLaren will play a midfield three of Saivet Shelvey Ginger pubes He should play a midfield 3 mind, it's the only set up where we have ever looked good in recent years. It just shouldn't involve Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think he'll be hopeless and we will be slating him within a couple of weeks. I hope I'm wrong though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 If Colback absolutely must play I could almost handle him in a midfield three, alongside two actual footballers. We've had utter garbage in that sort of position before and it's been passable as a working triumvirate. His sideways/backways football wouldn't be as much of a hindrance alongside players with real attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm happy we have someone with a long range on him better than Tiote... Cabaye was the last one who had a good long range shot on him. Looking forward to seeing what he can do for us, as he's very experienced in this league despite his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 If we play a midfield 3 then you would hope Wijnaldum, Sissoko or De Jong would be the 3rd player ahead of Colback mind. Otherwise spending near £20m on 2 central midfielders was a monumental waste of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
