Spence Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 So the new season is in less than 2 weeks... As it stands King and Drinkwater will be starting CM against Sunderland and possibly the next few games after that. Is anybody confident they can do a job... Would you put Hammond in instead? We desperately need a new first class CM imo if not 2. Thoughts? If there's already a thread on this then sorry couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spence Posted 27 July 2015 Author Share Posted 27 July 2015 Esteban and Kante wouldn't have been ideal and now suddenly we have neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 Not confident at all. Hardly creative and will probably both get dominated by one better centre mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted 27 July 2015 Author Share Posted 27 July 2015 Playing submissive football, nothing on the front foot. I like Kingy but believe he only plays to his best when with a top player like Esteban. Could do with James back asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmeh Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 So you're not confident in nigel pearson players? I thought he was God though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted 27 July 2015 Author Share Posted 27 July 2015 I never said he was god at all. I'm not confident King and Drinkwater as a CM partnership is up to the standard we aspire to be playing at. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 I said all along regardless of Cambiasso we needed another quality midfielder in. But it was like we were waiting for him. Doesn't help we haven't had a manager but if the board bid for Charlie Austin surely they could/can see we need a central midfielder too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0901 Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 I have faith in Drinky and King, even Hammond who can do a job when called upon (playing in the Stoke and Man U wins last year bein highlights)... But yes Ranieri will have his targets and we need at least one CM. If that Thiago Motta rumour is to be believed get him in! Ranieri said he wants a leader, and we've been linked with Inan (Galatasaray captain I believe?) Boy, those two signings would relieve some pressure eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A load of experience with a good few years in him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyh Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 Drinky and Kingy will be fine against Sunderland! Their CMs are no-better than ours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 Another thread about the midfield OK, so people have been going on about it, but its a valid concern!

Spence Posted 27 July 2015 Author Share Posted 27 July 2015 Drinky and Kingy will be fine against Sunderland! Their CMs are no-better than ours! Yes I agree but against West-Ham we will need some real class. Should be a game we aim to get points from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue army boys Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 We sure know how to keep banging on about the same thing. We're all aware of the midfield problem, no need to keep starting a new topic about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just after gaining promotion, pearson gave both king and drinkwater new 4 year contracts. So I assume he wanted them for the premiership in midfield? So what do you mean, why did we sack Pearson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 27 July 2015 Share Posted 27 July 2015 Drinky and Kingy will be fine against Sunderland! Their CMs are no-better than ours! They won't struggle, as long as they annoy Cattermole and get him sent off for a millionth time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not shit players, neither is Hammond they are all very capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
