Carey 6 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 It would be nice to have someone like Diame/N'Doye (Birminghams 17 yesterday, thought we couldn't get near him second half) Not a priority for me though, need a target man if Đurić isn't back soon, and a keeper after that.

Not heard his name mentioned since, so would be surprised if he is training with us - that sort of stuff usually gets picked up on pretty fast.

Fair point you make and probably right but I know that Williams rated him and he seemed too good for league one but never going to get in brightons squad this season.

I'd quite like it to be true. Could be a handy squad player and add something different to the midfield unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly gives 100% every game unlike Gladwin who you could have ended up with a year or so ago and reminds me a little like pogba and has plenty of prescence in the middle of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our midfield at present is competant, not great, but lightweight and needs a general to boss things. Should also tighten things up defensively. In a game that is moving away from physicality how does getting "stuck in'' run the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has indeed changed as you say but there seem to be more big, physically powerful midfielders around these days. We could do with such a player imo.

We could do with such a player imo. Midfielders are mobile and universal who now make only a few tackles, sometimes nil. The endurance levels are differing and the distances covered are increasing. That is where football is going. Technique, intelligence and physical but via movement is what many Mangers look towards v big. Bristol City last player on the hard side - Dave Martin would have hated the fanny football (his description of passing to feet) with barely any physicality involved.

Kala Taro Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 6 hours ago, Sixtyseconds said: Better check which century it is. Gerry Gows unsporting and reckless stare would be bookable. Sir Gerry's stare was totally sporting and not at all reckless. It said in a calm, restrained manner, "Stay out of my way or I'll break yer legs, then yer arms and then yer neck." It gave the player to whom it was directed fair warning. How is that unsporting? Of course in this day and age the player it was directed at would have fallen over, writhing on the ground like he'd been shot. So yeah, you're probably right he would've been booked for it.

Mad Cyril Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 So I think we are all agreed. We need a box to box ball winning playmaker goal scoring midfielder. Needs to be hard as #### in the tackle, with a great engine, able to beat his man, two footed, dominant in the air, pace to burn, dead ball specialist. Best if he is nearly out of contract so available cheap, and willing to take a pay as you play deal. Oh, and must come with his own catchy song. Now what the hell is holding things up? I presume he will be revealed at half time on Saturday. Exciting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
