davieG Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 We haven't seen how well Drinky and James will cope with the better opposition so it's an assumption they will be better also they'll be lacking match fitness. I'd have them both on the bench and to come on for the last 20 mins.

shade Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 But that's because Drinkwater & James are clearly better players. It would make no sense to replace our two best midfielders with King & Hammond. Let's put this into perspective, King and Hammond have played 2 games (1 and a half for Hammond pretty much) and they've looked fine. I wouldn't say either of them has put in an amazing match winning performance though, and we've got 1 point from two games. They've not been the world beaters you are suggesting. I can see the argument for leaving them in, but I can also see the argument for putting two better players in who were so massive for us last season. The question is, first & foremost, who does the manager think will give us a better chance of beating the team we're playing? disagree, i think hammond had two better 45s in the chelsea game than drinkwater had in the time he played in the everton game. performance over reputation for me, hammond and king 100% earned another shot with their performances over chelsea.
Max Power Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Percy is the only reliable source around I reckon. Big at how quickly this deal seemed to have happened compared to others tis summer.
lgfualol Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Would be brilliant. The more I think about it, the better the signing gets. A NEW SIGNING I AM SO EXCITED
Danno Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 So Cambiasso, McArthur, Warris and Ndoye joining agshsjsbdndkdkddnbd
Tielemans63 Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Woop woop! Very tidy signing and pretty good value at £6 mill rising to £7 mill.

Guest ttfn Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Disappointing that we're spending £7m on a midfielder if Cambiasso's coming. If he's not coming then McArthur's an ok player for us to be bringing in - he'd certainly be pushing for a start.
lcfcsnow Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Drinkwater or James must be out long term surely if both are coming? It'll take Cambiasso a month or so to get upto speed though I'd have thought.
Ric Flair Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I was hugely impressed with him at their place last season and I also thought he was the Matty James of the partnership with James McCarthy in the previous seasons for them. McCarthy got all the plaudits which a lot of it was deserved but McArthur was very, very solid for them. He'd slot right in alongside Drinkwater or Kingy.
Finnegan Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Disappointing that we're spending £7m on a midfielder if Cambiasso's coming. If he's not coming then McArthur's an ok player for us to be bringing in - he'd certainly be pushing for a start. McArthur has years left in him and this spell has proven we're pretty short in the middle. No harm in both, surely, especially with Chucho (did I get that right?) being in for the short term.
Ric Flair Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Drinkwater or James must be out long term surely if both are coming? It'll take Cambiasso a month or so to get upto speed though I'd have thought. We will start to see us going 4-1-4-1 i'd have thought. I also think Cambiasso might play centre half, he's done it before and very well. He reads the game ridiculously.
Gio Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Brilliant, happy with this. Hope it gets sorted quickly, either later today or early tomorrow as we might need him on Sunday if none of the others are fit
