typicalbrough 17 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hopefully rumours of us actually signing a decent RW start piping up soon If we don't it'll be a long season. I have very little confidence in our scouting set up. Hopefully Orta has settled in and is half as good as he thinks he is. Personally rather than messing around on signing some champ manager 10/11 wonderkid think we should try for Ashley Young on loan. Link to post Share on other sites

Can we take from that that Orta has a lot of self confidence, shall we say? Young on loan would be a good option, would look at Navas if possible. Both would bring more end product than we currently have. Link to post Share on other sites

typicalbrough 17 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'd agree with KM that Navas' final ball is poor. What he does give is the fear factor to the oppositions defence which makes them defend deeper and so give space to other players. It's what I'd like to see us do more, stretch the play and leave room between the oppositions defence and midfield. Link to post Share on other sites

typicalbrough 17 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I fully agree Will and if you can have something similar on the other side then you open up space for an attacking midfielder or a no.10 (assuming your intention is to a win a game that is). That said I'm not a fan of Adama he is essentially just a well built schoolboy footballer. To think he spent 10 years at La Masia and still can't pass, cross, shoot or receive the ball on the move is terrifying. It's upsetting when you look at the money we've wasted on poor footballers as I honestly think we are close to something special. Link to post Share on other sites

Ayresome7 187 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 As a side note it would be interesting to see if a there will be a potential Valdes replacement in the summer considering he will be 35 next month and 18 months left on contract. Whether Mejias will stay at the club remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites

Offers a bit of ooohhh and aaahhh a few times but most of he time he is useless. Link to post Share on other sites
typicalbrough 17 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Good to have you back TB. How's China? Gus Poyets our new manager so you know. It's taking a bit of settling in but I'm sure I'll adjust. Level of football is atrocious and the games really bent. But the money is ***ing fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites

That is exactly how I envisioned Chinese football :D congrats on the money anyway. Do us a favour and please recommend Stuani and de Pena to Poyet for big fat inflated fees.
