rowlo-efc Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Xavier - is that a genuine post coming from a RS fan? ... Anyway - yes I am sure that Moyes will want to strengthen the squad in January - but I think that he will only find a striker. We have several midfield options now Kilbane, Cahill, Arteta, Davies, Neville, VDM, Osman, Carsley, McFadden The defence is also bulging with players wanting to get in the side - all of which are capable of playing in the premiership... Ferrari, Naysmith, Pistone, Yobo, Hibbert, Weir, Kroldrup, Valente, (Neville), We have 4 strikers - Dunc, Vaughan (sort of), Bent and Beattie - but they aren't the best and, in my opinion, the weak link. I think that Moyesy will only sign one player in January - and he will be a striker - who HE will be, I just dont know! WE actually have a squad of around 25-26 players at the moment - of which there are some quality players - its now just a case of getting them to understand each others movements and playing styles - once that clicks- I think that we will be something more and a great deal better than the likes of City, boro, Bolton etc. and therefore could (and SHould) easily challenge for Europe. I think that it is out of the question this year as the team has had a poor start and the other european contenders have picked up good points already! But time will tell and hopefully we will still have a positive season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 "Xavier - is that a genuine post coming from a RS fan?" Whats that supposed to mean? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Kilbane, Cahill, Arteta, Davies, Neville, VDM, Osman, Carsley, McFadden' Yep. These are midfield options, but how many of them would fit into a team challenging for Europe, if Europe is your aim? Cahill, Arteta, Neville, VDM....Osman,Davies and Carsley are good backup. Kilbane, Li Tie and Mcfadden arent good enough. So you basically have 4 good midfielders (out of which 3 are central ones) and ok'ish support midfielders. Thus, midfield isnt a problem for DM, unless someone gets injured. But id try to put some money into a right winger next season and Davies more and more looks like a middle of midfield player, cuts in a lot. Defense, is ok. How is Kroldrup doing. I havent seen him play this season. Yobo is quick. Hibbert, steady. Also PHil Neville can play as a fullback. Basically, Moyes needs a goalkeeper, a right winger and (atleast!) one striker. Bent is awful. Vaughan is too young. Ferguson is gettiong old. A decent run in the F.A. cup might give the team some much needed confidence.

rowlo-efc Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Just a joke! Not really interested in the cup - obviously would love to win it - but would rather moyes used it as a way to introduce Vaughan and kroldrup to the team. (and maybe Iain Turner in goal!?) Anyway - I think Europe is gone this season - and this season is here to build the team and make it solid again so that next season we can attack the top 6 (hopefully). BUt yes - we need a striker. I think Arteta is going to be our next right winger -he is doing well in that role at the moment - he is very versatile. Striker - much needed. Bent isnt crap - but he aint a world beater either!

Some of them, a lot. So it as never going to be easy for you guys to get into Europe this time out. Lady luck also plays a huge role. Last year, ya'll had a lot of it. It seems that this year she has deserted you, with all those injuries and goals which shd have stood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowlo-efc Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 STRAIGHT TO THE POINT Oh so true tho'!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can never understand why we defend our team on our own forum to RS fans. But it has to be done I suppose. So far, this season has not been great for either blues or RS fans - our teams are not that different and I think that we will be scrapping it out for 8th place! no...no...I take all that back...
