bodson Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Do you think that we have enough cover here? Its an extremely important position for a team with continous defensive problems. We need someone who can take a lot of work of our defenders shoulders. Butt is ok but surely there are better players to get in here. Butt is excellent cover but should not be the first choice for the position imo. We need someone like Frings, M.Diarra, Makelele, Gattuso. Im not saying we can get these names, Im just saying its the kind of player we need. Im worried we are weak in the position at the moment. Appiah might be a solution.

Guest Stephen927 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Nah we don't have enough cover, we need to sign someone to replace Butt or someone to be rotated with him. Barton might be able to provide cover there, but we really need someone who specialises in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm happy someone else brought this up as I have been thinking the same thing. Nicky Butt was good for us last season but he really shouldn't be a first team choice next season I don't think. We need more power and presence in that position for sure. I'm hoping this is one of the areas Sam addresses after he has got the defence sorted. I dream of Yaya Toure ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Seen some games with Yaya Toure lately and he looks class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Seen some games with Yaya Toure lately and he looks class. The boy is special. Allegedly available for £8 million too. I'm really still baffled about how Monaco managed to snag him for £3.5million last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Flamini is very good player.can play as LB too I really like Flamini too. He is more of an energizer bunny type of defensive mid that harries the opposition all game. I see him as a bit of a Hargreaves clone, also just as versatile. I would love Flamini and he would be very affordable too. However, Allardyce does tend to prefer having his defensive midfielders big and strong so I'm not sure if he would consider someone like Flamini.

Guest shaun11177 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 i agree to go into next season with just Butt Emre and Barton is asking for trouble-another defensive midfielder is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I would love to get Tomas Galasek but I'm probably the only one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Definitely need some strengthening in this position and I'm sure Sam will be looking into it. Appiah might be the one!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Could do with a big physical presence in the middle like. I'm more eager about getting a quality centre back in first though. This has to be a priority after the defence is sorted though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Will likely be something we're looking at very closely. Top class DM to play alongside Barton and Emre in the middle and we'll have a very nice balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Flamini on a free. Cover/rotation for midfield, cover for the fullback positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hopefully Emre leaves along with Dyer Depends. If Sam wants to eventually go with a 4-5-1 like he did at Bolton, Emre will be very useful in that system. tmonkey, I can't see Flamini leaving Arsenal for here unless he's gauranteed a first team spot regularly, which I wouldn't want him having here.

Norwegian-Geordie Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 And this guy is?... I would love Toure to come! How much do people think West Hams Scott Parker would cost? Major defensive midfielder. Would fit perfectly in the club as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 He'd cost about £10m I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Who does that Tomaschuk (sp) the Ukraine midfielder play for? He's always looked classy whenever I've seen him. Saw him in the Euro Qualifier versus France a few weeks ago and he did well in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
