Dan's Summer Transfer Thread. Aka: " Post Mortem Time""

Two seasons ago I thought Coulson looked a very promising player until he got injured. Since his return I think we all saw that his level had dropped somewhat and that he never really took his chances when he did play.

He could be a confidence type of player being at Ipswich should bring this back and hopefully show just where on the pitch he is most useful.

Jones looked good for his cameo period let's see if he is as good as we all want him to be

I thought that about Coulson (and Spence) at the time but now I just think more and more they were just "untainted" academy players playing under a clueless manager in Woodgate, where 99% it all felt very flat and nothing was very cohesive.

Howson seems to be able to, but for some reason likes to pass backwards instead. He’s probably one of our best passers I wish he would take a few more risks

He was the worst passer on the entire pitch against Fulham if I remember correctly. Absolutely nothing comes from him anymore. He's regressed badly. The passing thing was obviously tongue in cheek, but nither of those two are going to release any player with a pinpoint pass. It's sideways and nothing passes. That might work for someone like Morsy who'se entire gameplan is to just destroy the oppositions game, but I want a lot more from someone in Howsons position.

Yes howson certainly can, also didnt we have the most tackles won of any team in the championship in the first weekend? Ans other than playing mcnair as on of the two Def mids who have we got? 

How about not playing two defensive mids. It's even more bonkers when we play 5 at the back. No need for 7 defensive players.

Am I watching England at the Euros again?

The “mystery striker” must be world class for them to withhold his name this long, bored of it now. Rather just get Maja and a winger in ASAP 

It’s obviously Lionel Messi is the mystery striker. We are just trying to secure a payday loan to cover his few quid each Friday

Think Uche had him pipped there like. I admit he was a bit cack in the first half but I remember one or two times when we were dominating towards the end he made a good interception to create a chance

People making things up as they go here.. Howson isn't a defensive midfielder.

I think that was literally the only good thing he did that game. Untill that interception I hadn't even noticed him on the pitch. And then a few minutes later we were in a good position in Fulhams half and he passed a 10 yard pass straight out of touch. It was in the final few minutes. All I'm saying is that Howson isn't effective anymore and shouldn't play as I just don't see what he brings to the table.

I'm saying what I'm seeing. He plays as one and his contribution in the final third of the pitch is thereafter.

I'd hazard a guess and say Coulson would have done just as much as Johson if he had been given 42 games on the left side in the league last season. The added bonus would have been, that we would have developed a young player of our own. We won't find out though. I just didn't think there was any future in giving Johnson all those minutes when we were neither going up or down.

And what the players do in training is second to what they do in the matches, and everyone can see that it's not working with Morsy/Howson but either Warnock is stubborn og unimaginative. I'd guess a little bit of both. But let's see if it changes now that Crooks and Payero has been brought in. I'm just afraid that it's going to be a long time before Payero get's a decent chance, as Crooks is a true Warnock player while the partnership of Morsy/Howson is a Warnock special.

If Scott has the a similar approach to Webber then we should see a lot more youth players getting a chance in future

Howson 100% plays as a CDM for us; Morsy for some reason plays as the 8 instead and it bothers me to no end.

Morsy had an 87% pass success rate, Morsy is a strange player for people to try to make into a boo boy

My bad. It was a wrong statement regarding Morsy and it's not his job either to create chances. I'll happily admit I was wrong regarding him.
