Fat Cigar Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 3 minutes ago, Esmond Million's Bung said: What we need is a midfielder who does not run out of ideas in around the opponents box, that is what we are lacking in midfield. Can I say that is *exactly* the kind of midfielder we need. And one not afraid to actually shoot. Amazing how Korey is so reluctant to take a shot when he's near the penalty area. Same for Pack. Ok, neither are any good (although Pack is possibly slightly better than he used to be. Slightly...). A midfielder with a killer pass. Dare I say his name anymore on here, but someone with an eye like To*lin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fielding, Bryan, Flint, Pack, Wright, Smith, Pato all very experienced at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fielding, Bryan, Flint, Pack, Wright, Smith, Pato all very experienced at this level. I`ve been making this point on other threads. We have quite a few players now with 100+ championship games behind them so we can`t keep on using the `young and inexperienced` excuse any more. If we haven`t got enough players with enough experience at this level now we never will have. If you`re good enough, you`re old enough. I`d much rather we signed someone who wants it more rather than some 30something just looking for a last payday. There are exceptions though, players that would improve us IMO - Lasse Vibe for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Korey and GON - one is experienced and the other is old and experienced. Who would you rather have in the team?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they`re over 26? If they`re playing for a club that is traditionally a playoff contender? If LJ/MA think a player will improve our squad and we sign them I don`t really care if they`ve played 50 championship games or 500, how old they are or who they play for.

Considerably more hits than misses on LJs track record so would be fully behind anyone that they deem fit to bring in. And furthermore I’d be 100% confident that the player was a good character and was coming here for the right reasons, which is every bit as important as technical ability.

Midfielder who was on loan at Birmingham but didn’t play at all under Cotterill and returned to Everton in November. Six pages later people are still getting excited all on a rumour in the sun.
