Wymsey Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 I'm thinking these will be 'chairman' signings with the players the chairman wants, they'll try their hardest to sign them up. Reminds me of the Mandaric era.

artursteppe Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 So you'd rather just ship him out than let him stick around and see if one of the most experienced coaches in the world can address the issue? Clearly he has the ability, you've just admitted that yourself. It does sound like you have a chip on your shoulder and 'playing well when leicester are playing well' is generalising. There are plenty of occasions where he's provided important passes. I'm not going all out to say that he should be integral to us next season but to say you want rid of one of our better players this season seems stupid imo. 'Only plays well when Leicester play well' is specific, honest and true. It is not a generalisation. Let me explain, all season I have been saying on these threads that having King, Wellens and Gallagher in the same team as two strikers has ( notwithstanding our goalkeeping situation ), been our downfall. Those three players win no more tackles than Weale or Ricardo in a match. To be playing those players, leaving a back four with only Abe or Oakley in front of them as our 'strongest' midfield tacklers has not worked against strong, physical and hardworking opposition. These are facts, and they are obvious facts. When Bruma, who is strong, played with Yuki Abe, who is harder working and quicker than Wellens, we looked a much better unit. They fought back from a deficit and we won that second half 3 - 0. Yes, King, Wellens and Gallagher all have a certain amount of skill, and could all be kept in the squad. However we will not win enough matches next season with all those three players in the same team with two strikers. We could always leave one on the bench, but my view is if some team with cash want one of those players we should take the money. Wellens would be my choice to go. Yes, I prefer Gally ( whose best position would be the same role as King ), and Andy King because he is still young and has potential. Wellens is slow and getting slower, and he slows the game down too much. I think Sven will know this, and I think it will happen. It's time to move on!
lcfc_jme Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Not as many as Lustenberger You're an imbecile. Lustenberger has played in 15 games for a team that has been scoring for fun this season and has the MASSIVE total of 1 assist. One. Literally, that is it. Besides, he'll be playing in the Bundesliga next season infront of crowds 70,000 for his home games. Doubt he's going to want to up sticks and drop down to the second tier of English football to go to places like Bristol City. I'll give you the fact that Nils Petersen has been a good player this season. Scored 24 in 30 games I think for a team that doesn't actually defend too well which is an exceptional return by all accounts. What you would have to remember with Petersen though is that a) he is still a young player and b) he is playing in the 2. Bundesliga and some of the games in that league are far from upper-Championship level. Anyway to steer this thread back on track, Given I would take in a flash, sensational goalkeeper and rarely seems to make a mistake. That'd be a brilliant piece of business for us. As for Heskey, thanks but no thanks. We're moaning this season because we don't have a natural goalscorer up top and we miss far too many chances, so why we'd want a player with Heskey's goals-for record to play up top - especially considering the fee he'd cost and wages he'd be on - I'll never know. The guy's a legend here, I'd hate for him to come back, be absolutely turd and routinely abused week-in, week-out (which he would be if we missed easy chances and stopped scoring goals), tarnishing his reputation round these parts. The key for me is a goalkeeper, securing any combination of Naughton - Mee - Vitor and a proper winger.
Ambitious Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Hey Sven! why don't you try and buy this guy Rafa Alcantara! He'll get us up!
MrSpaM Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Hey Sven! why don't you try and buy this guy Rafa Alcantara! He'll get us up! "Kermorgant, every now and then you see a player come along and think he'll be a star"

Wellens is slow and getting slower, and he slows the game down too much. I think Sven will know this, and I think it will happen. It's time to move on! The game against Watford was the first time in months we've played with 2 up front. Gally has been playing on the wing all season, part of a front 3, not a front 2. It's true we don't win enough tackles in midfield and we are too open when the opposition gets the ball. However you can't say that getting rid of our creative midfield player and the only one of the 3 you mention who does win tackles is the answer. The answer that makes sense is to let King and Wellens, our creative players, play. To do this we need a holding midfielder. Neither Bruma or Abe are attack minded players. We'd struggle with creativity is they were our central midfeild duo. And 'I think Sven knows this, and I think it will happen', is very unjustifiably smug. You know fvck all, Sven knows a little better than that.

Since hes come back from injury Lustenberger has been in the hold of the starting lineup for most of Hertha Berlins games, most of which they have won, they have an excellent defensive record, Petersen is 22 and hes a top scorer in a professional league, which is excellent at that age, Sam Allardyce was going to place a bid until he got sacked.
Ambitious Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 "Kermorgant, every now and then you see a player come along and think he'll be a star" Hes loads better than Kermorgant, and hes ten years younger.
MC Prussian Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Why does Ambitious plaster almost every single thread he's posting in with endless lists of FM prospects? Seriously, a proper debate is one thing - throwing player's names around another.

Seriously, a proper debate is one thing - throwing player's names around another. I havn't been on FM in years, I research whats going on in the footballing world, thats why I come out with names that no ones heard of, because I know whats going on in football globally. Most people havn't got a clue outside England.

Most people havn't got a clue outside England. You research how exactly? Just browsing the internet for hours only to post useless YouTube videos on here?
Stevosevic Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 About 1/5 of posts in this thread are about Given or Heskey. The rest are about some players who are good on football manager.
Ambitious Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 You research how exactly? Just browsing the internet for hours only to post useless YouTube videos on here? Well yea, look Prussian we all know if any fan was given the Club, that I would be more successful than ANY of you.
Austin Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Well yea, look Prussian we all know if any fan was given the Club, that I would be more successful than ANY of you. No you wouldn't. You'd sign a team full of kids that would get us nowhere.

I havn't been on football manager for years, that starting 11 I mentioned would get us back up, keep us up and then some, you lot are just typical unambitious, ignorant idiots who seem happy supporting a medioka club for the rest of your lives, but no not me, I want LCFC to go to the top, and the players you lot mention day in day out, will not get us there end of.

Hertha Berlin have been winning games all season, even without Lustenberger, that's why they've been promoted. And since you mention it, Augsburg have a better defensive record than Hertha. Besides, my original point was that he (with 1) does NOT have more assists than Wellens (with 8). You were proven wrong so stop being a muppet and moving the fvcking goalposts to supplement your feeble argument. Lustenberger WILL NOT COME HERE. Let it go. Yeah, big whoop, Sam Allardyce was going to sign him. Doesn't mean we should. Chelsea plan on signing Neymar. Should we throw in a cheeky bid as well? The kid must be good if he's going to Chelsea so maybe we should try and swoop in under their noses. Nonsensical argument. Petersen has been good this season, yes, but I'd rather see him replicate that form next season or attempt it in the Bundesliga before rimming him anywhere near the level that you have been based on your YouTube videos and Football Manager games. Fvcking hell. Either way, I think you should get a grip of yourself, otherwise you're going to be a very, very disappointed person come August time.

Its not like we actually have SERIOUS amounts of money to chuck everywhere, we'll never be a force again. (not that we ever really have been) But I love this club and want to see us do well however, but your cry for all sorts of players who probably wouldn't want to come here in the 1st place is ridiculous!
Ambitious Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 No you wouldn't. You'd sign a team full of kids that would get us nowhere. **** sake! that starting 11 I mentioned have 3 teenagers, the rest are in their 20's, so how can you say I would sign a team full of kids

Well, you are ambitious, I'll give you that
cc_star Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Football Manager Unbelievable I could write a squad of players on a bit of paper that would get us back up... trouble is football isn't played on paper, and it isn't played on your computer
Fox You Forest Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Well yea, look Prussian we all know if any fan was given the Club, that I would be more successful than ANY of you.
