markjazzbassist Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Excellent -- can't wait to see him back in action and hopefully proving he has what it takes to play here for the long-term. i will add that he did say it could be hard for him to see first team minutes, he said he didn't know if he's be fully fit for first team action by the end of the year. But i guess it's up to Mo at this point to kick it up a notch to make a case for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hope he manages to stay fit this time around. I'm not holding my breath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ronald knows the score, the lads shite like half of Robertos signings and wants to cash in. Discuss my only thought is he's on the cheap, so if we make europa he could be good squad filler to have. i know you don't rate him, but surely as a bench player he could be useful.

StevO Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 He could be very useful on the bench. He could carry the subs shirts, tie laces, bring the water bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) koeman said in the presser he's to play 90 for the u23 and then he will be ready for the first team. i think we will seem him this season.

markjazzbassist Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 i don't think Koeman would've mentioned the first team if he didn't see something in him fair play. would help with depth with Europa and cups next year. Schneiderlin Gana Davies, and then rotating in Besic, Barry, and Mccarthy(if he leaves then walsh from u23) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneiderlin Gana Davies, and then rotating in Besic, Barry, and Mccarthy(if he leaves then walsh from u23) assuming we get Europa via qualifying, id expect to see him in those games. Sooner than that, id worry about a reoccurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Can be a great rotation player. Similar to Gana although takes more risks however is a better passers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Aiden you really think Mo was better than Gana passing the ball? I know I don't rate Mo at all, so my opinion is different to a lot of peoples on here, but the level our current three are playing at is far higher than anything we have ever seen from Mo. Even Barry has stepped in well above his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Barry has stepped in well above his level. i think it's another case of not having had a real run of games to judge him on. I've seen him do some outstanding passing but also make mistakes, all in a poor Martinez side. I usually am overly optimistic / patient with players, Mo is no different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I know he's not played a lot, but when he has I've only seen indiscipline and a lack of concentration. People say Ross has poor decision making and doesn't have a footballing brain, but these two are worlds apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I've always though he was a sloppy passer, especially the simple ones. They get to their destination but they aren't to feet, they are bobbling or generally need more controlling than they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Barry has stepped in well above his level. With consistency in his game I have no doubt he will be a top player. Hopefully he can remain fit! He's a perfect player for Koeman to rotate with too. Energetic, Strong tackler and anyways looks forward. Edit: and for the record IMO Gana is the worst passer of the ball in the whole starting squad, by a country mile. He's only comfortable going backwards and sideways and sometimes he even makes a pigs arse out of that!

Shukes Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 When Mo did play he looked one of our best passers of the ball. He hasn't played for an age but I can still remember him being a decent passer, an excellent player on the turn and hard working to boot. I just want to see him back and fit and having a few games to show us what he can do...either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ok, I've got to ask as I find this thread more entertaining and confusing than the Lukaku thread... From Gana, Davies and Morgan, who would people prefer to see dropped to get game time for Besic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I wouldn't drop any of them. But football is more than just 11 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I know it's a squad game, but if people want to see him get game time one of the other three needs to not be playing. I just want to see which one would be preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I would start with the three you mentioned. Besic would start on the bench. If any of them gets injured or needed a rest I would give him the opportunity. An example was a month ago when Gana was starting to look very poor. Besic could have stepped in. Or when the opposition needs a different approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Gana, Davies and Morgan, who would people prefer to see dropped to get game time for Besic? I'd hate for any of those to be dropped, but as soon as he gets an opportunity when either Gana or davies get injured I'd say stick him in ahead of Jimmy Mac. If Schneiderlin was injured stick Barry in his place not Besic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 If he can iron out those silly mistakes (which I'm sure anyone would improve with consistent game time) and learn from Schneiderlin how to protect the ball better he could be magnificent.

Cornish Steve Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 It's not a case of either/or. Very few teams start the same players every game. Tactics should be different against different teams. Besic might start one week and not the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 But that's the point I'm making. There's people in here who want him to get game time, but would still pick the other three ahead of him. Personally I'd pick Barry and McCarthy ahead of him too, and being sixth in the pecking order is no place for a footballer entering the best years of his career. If we want to progress to the next step we need another midfielder with Morgan's quality, and for me Davies can take a step back and be the player to come in when there is an opportunity. If we did bring in another midfielder Mo could potentially be 7th choice. Barry doesn't have many years left, so that brings an opportunity but there can't be many opportunities for a player with ambition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
