Klaus Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 3 positions we need most imo. Striker, centre mid and a left back. The black hole in our midfield does need sorting, I just don't think Shelvey is up to the task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gomez Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He was great when I finally managed to win the league with Newcastle on football manager a few years ago. Shelvey, Busquets and Vuckic, bossing the league... and people computer games are a waste of time. (Based on the 6 or so games I've actually watched him in over the past few years, it seems like he might be the kind of midfielder we need (one who wants the ball & wants to do things (not Colback)), but it sounds like he's been crap for a bit. What do I know?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Sometimes a player just needs a change of scenery. 3-4 months ago a lot of people would have taken him no questions asked on here. I think he could be a very good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 So Sissoko out and this guy on the right? PROFIT!!! Aye, more than likely. Moussa's agent will be like a fly round s*** atm scraping around the barrel for moves before the Euros Would be surprised if we sign Shelvey and one of our current midfielders doesn't leave and Moussa is probably the most "marketable" tbh. Given our recent hit rate getting a striker in who knows where the net is has to be a priority surely.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally only getting him cause the c***'s English How can anyone say this when our first choice midfield is Colback and Anita Colback and Shelvey isnt any more inspiring. Swansea fans cant wait to get rid for a reason. Us out of anyone should know that what a clubs fans think of their players are more accurate than outside perception (Colback for one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Progress is progress... Getting Shelvey will change virtually nowt though. Just a bit more physical than the current two. Probably more like Anita but with more physicality. Colback would have to be dropped for me but you just know it would be Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He's a vast improvement on what we currently have, for a start he can pick a pass and has physical presence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hope its around the £5-6m mark and not £10m....i know people don't care 'coz we wont spend it' etc...but i just don't fancy arming a potential relegation rival with a free £10m, especially since they've got a decent record in recruitment.

Dokko Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It'll make a change not to see the opposition waltz through the centre unchallenged but its going to take more than him, we need another, a left back and a CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I can think of at least 4 positions i'd strengthen before buying another striker tbh, i know its tempting to think we are not scoring at all so lets buy another striker and ignore everything else. But there is a structural issue with the team, there is no creativity, no energy, no defensive nous, no width, no pace and no aerial prowess. If you fixed even half of those problems then i bet the goals would come with the current crop, unfortunately none of this is going to happen.
