Jamiebux Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 Think we need a Centre back with pace and prem experience and a quick left back, Maybe 2 midfielders one winger ( African cup in mind)and creative centre mid and at least one striker! Also do we revert back to the formation that served us so well last season? Not sure if this has been tried. Obviously against man city etc you have to be harder to beat but against the rest why not!
lgfualol Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 2. And a new premiership level defence coach

Wasn't we most successful in a 442 last season? We have proved that does not work by being totally dominated in games like v villa. You just can't hold possession when most premiership teams have more in the centre of the park!
Guest ttfn Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 With a name like Roger Johnson he should have retired a long time ago to go into the adult movie business imo. Also because he is shit at football
foxfanazer Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 Cheeky loan bid for Lovren from Pool? Had a bit of a mare at Liverpool but think he's still a good defender and he isn't getting a look in at the moment. Other than that I can't of many. Ake on loan could be good although he's gone off the radar at chelsea. With a name like Roger Johnson he should have retired a long time ago to go into the adult movie business imo.

You just can't hold possession when most premiership teams have more in the centre of the park! did we play 442 against villa then? Just thinking that we played better playing attacking football as we looked suspect at the back last season ! We could always move a striker behind if i we start to get over run! We are getting beat anyway .
Warbo666 Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 As I said in previous thread... For LB we should have a punt on Reto Ziegler who is currently on a free. Loads of experience. Still only 28. Short term deal and extended terms if we stay up.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 28 December 2014 Posted 28 December 2014 We don't need defenders, we just need to play Hull every week.
v6rat Posted 29 December 2014 Posted 29 December 2014 10 Play 1 - 10 Go for 17 draws and 2 sneaky 1-0's plus our 13 points and we stay up
dedlock Posted 29 December 2014 Posted 29 December 2014 Exactly .. Apparently we wanted cresswel but Robinson was to tight to bring him in early along with other signings ! You do wonder how many targets identified by NP/Steve Walsh were frustrated by our own DoF.
iamafox Posted 29 December 2014 Posted 29 December 2014 I see that both Haidara and Huth aren't getting much game time at their respective clubs, I reckon we should try bringing them in.
benpicko Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Suggested Lovren a couple of weeks back.....Players don't lose all their ability overnight, it's just that Anfield doesn't seem the right place for him at the moment! Wasn't he just as shit before Southampton? Lyon fans kept saying that him playing with Fonte is what was making him play so well
Ozwin Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Lovren are you all mental? He cost them 20M, they'll play him until he is good enough!
dbtcity Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Wonder if it would be worth a cheeky loan attempt for Nastasic from Man City, heard his name banded around about going to Germany so might be worth a punt
lgfualol Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Wasn't he just as shit before Southampton? Lyon fans kept saying that him playing with Fonte is what was making him play so well I heard because he had Schneiderlin and Wanyama pretty much covering him every game. Made him look better.
les-tah Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 a left back is certain anything else would be a bonus!
Bettsj2 Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Huth would be a fantastic signing. Did he play with Upson at Stoke?
Robin JD Popley Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I mentioned Huth the other week too as one for our CBs list. Think he would be a perfect fit for us. As I also said, I also like the idea of Cook from Bournemouth - my only concern there is we already have a Championship heavy defence and would he improve that? That is why Huth for the here and now would be ideal. LB - Keep mentioning Olsson as do many others but I know I am probably in the minority, but I also think George Friend has a great deal of potential at Boro as I have said in other threads. Young, British, playing in a very confident Middlesborough team and has played Premier League opposition already in his career.
halpart Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Curtis Davies according to the Telegraph a couple of days ago. Always thought he was a decent player, apparently us and Sunderland are in for him. He does have some PL experience, but not as much as you'd think for a 29 year old
Merging Cultures Posted 31 December 2014 Posted 31 December 2014 At a minimum: A tall, big, strong and fast CB to partner with Wasyl. And A tall, big, strong and fast LB. Both with PL experience. Our team as a whole is too short and lightweight. Konch looks tiny next to the majority of players he is up against. Even refs are bigger. If we have time/money for another deal I'd change out RDL too. I'm not a fan of wing backs,I feel they rush up to attack and leave us exposed at the back to a break. So they need to be really good at tackling and tackle high up the pitch to stop attacks before they start.
Wellzy320i Posted 2 January 2015 Posted 2 January 2015 Would of said buttner but gone to dynamo Moscow and his wages I guess would take the p!55
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 2 January 2015 Posted 2 January 2015 I personally think we need a left back for some more cover. Having said that, I don't know who.
