Robert Koren

[MPH]

if he's out til September with his injury you might have to wait a while longer

Hmm... never thought of getting a fee for him.

I was thinking just get him off the wages and free up some more for other players - you know.... FFP rules, ect

Doubt he'd be one Pearson would be thinking of getting off the wage bill. He'll be on a lot less then the big earners

We're stuck with him for next season now, but I reckon he was only going to be a squad player next season anyway. He gets a lot of criticism on here, but he'll be handy as back-up.

I'd be very happy with Danns, Koren, Trotter (or someone similar), with Drinkwater, King and Wellens as back up.

[The Padster]

You're getting looted by the Foxes.

Seems we're living up to our name of the "bin-dippers"!

[Jakemoore]

I think you'll find I mentioned him months ago back in the Beckford thread! I believe he'll get the beat out of Beckford with his creative flare! I can see this being great for us!

If Beckford is here of course

[Fox92]

Yeah would like it, good technical player who scores goals at this level.

[ThurnbyLodgeFox]

Brilliant signing. Midfield of Marshall Koren King/Wellens/Drinkwater Danns

[Happy Fox]

He is far better than Wellens in the playmaker role, very good player at this level and has prem experience as well good potential signing this

[1884Fox]

decent player scored the winner vs us at hull earlier didnt he, anyway now that adam pearson has left we might get a better chance of signing hull players like koren stewert and chester

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Him and Wellens will never be able to play every game anymore, but could be useful being rotated when needed. Keeping them both fresh and getting the best out of the pair.

good point Babs, i agree

Possibly... I do remember Sven extending his contract and increasing his wages though....

Is he ready to be a bit part player? He has suggested he cant train to such a level but wether he would be happy with 15-20 starts a season, no one knows... hopefully not!

[HoustonFox]

nu

play marshall as a false 9 with nuge in front of him. give koren the freedom to move across the midfield. with danns doing leg work behind him. dyer and stewart right/left mid. play this against the lower teams that come to shut up shop.

You mean play Marshall as a number 10? False 9 is the furthest player forward but just drops - a la Messi and Rooney. Sorry for being an anorak...

Ta! I really wanted to point that out, but didn't want to sound like a nerd. No offence!

[Kitchandro]

He's a good player but I can't help thinking we should be looking to the future more. He's over 30 now and surely on a downward spiral. I also don't think he fits the bill for the kind of midfielder we need - he's not defensive, he's not a winger and though he's got a good shot on him, I don't think he's particularly special at opening defences up.

Once again, he's more of an all rounder than someone who could fill a specific purpose that we really need. He's too similar to King and Danns, and Drinkwater tbh (I'm assuming Wellens will be phased out or sold). It seems our only options when we're struggling to break down defences are shoot from 30 yards or chuck it aimlessly into the mixer. we need a different route to goal and not just from out wide (also something we need to sort out).

It's a bit concerning that we are supposedly in for all Hull's so-called creative players when they've struggled for goals all season, I can't believe that's all down to Fryatt's finishing.

[Jaspa]

The new Solano ?

[dannythefox]

I've always like Koren and he would be a good replacement for Wellens if he was younger and I think we could probably do better.

[dakin_fox]

i think 5 in the midfield is an option with danns koren and trotter in the center , trotter being the more defensive player letting danns + koren attack more

[RonnieTodger]

I really like Koren as a player and was gutted that Hull beat us to signing him. He chips in with a fair amount of goals too.

Two words - Paul Scholes.

Age is but a number, it's how they perform which is the key and Koren could do a nifty job for a season or two.

I've just seen this sent to that Mclean, "Come to lcfc in the summer we need a prolofic goalscorer @A9Mac". Had me laughing for a while!

I have to concur. He wasn't always an all-rounder but his age will lead to him becoming that. He'll be 32 in September, this one seems short termist, surely there are better options out there.

Oh no another journeyman for next season, why don't we give him a four year contract and he can give us four very average years, haven't we learnt anything from signing wellens?

[Brenfox]

Are we really moaning about his age? He's Dulls player of the year & if he comes up with the goods to get us promoted who gives a toss about his age
