c1982 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 This would be an odd one! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3196794/Everton-target-former-Manchester-United-left-Alexander-Buttner-loan-replace-injured-Leighton-Baines.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Quote
Matt Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Thought he was decent at United but we simply don't need him Quote
nyblue23 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Thought he was decent at United but we simply don't need him This. Oviedo/Galloway good enough cover for 2 months. Quote
Romey 1878 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Absolute shite. Not as good as Baines or Oviedo going forward and even worse than the pair of them defending. markjazzbassist 1 Quote
Matt Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 I remember butting heads with you when he was mentioned as a potential player plus cash deal for Baines Quote
markjazzbassist Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Absolute shite. Not as good as Baines or Oviedo going forward and even worse than the pair of them defending. yeah that guy is awful. oviedo baby and galloway anyday over him. Quote
Peter H Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Probably just lazy journalism. Oviedo, Galloway and Garbutt are ample cover. Quote
milesey05 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Would be a total piss take if signed. As above states probably lazy journalism. We are the Aldi of the premier league so we are linked to every over the hill, rejected even deceased players. markjazzbassist 1 Quote
London Blue Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 We have more than enough left backs. Lob gossip by papers. Quote
scouse Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 big kick in the teeth to Oviedo and Galloway if true, again 2 and 2 together getting 7. Quote
captainbeaker Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Papers putting two and two together or agents drumming up interest as he probably wants back to UK. Quote
StevO Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 If only we had more left backs. The three we have just isn't enough. How many right backs do we have? One (sorry Tony, you don't really count anymore). Quote

One (sorry Tony, you don't really count anymore). Browning too, as emergency backup. Stones can play there at a very long stretch too.... Quote
StevO Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Browning maybe, doesn't fill me with confidence. But how can you count Stones? If he plays right back whos in the middle? Me and you? Quote
Matt Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Browning maybe, doesn't fill me with confidence. But how can you count Stones? If he plays right back whos in the middle? Me and you? Yeah, baby Or Barry.... (where's that "clutching at straws" emoticon I asked for!) Mike, found one! Can you add it to the list? Edited August 14, 2015 by Matt Quote
Romey 1878 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Browning too, as emergency backup. Stones can play there at a very long stretch too.... So, we have one right back then. Sure they can fill in but they're not actual right backs. Quote
Matt Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 So, we have one right back then. Sure they can fill in but they're not actual right backs. But there's different types of RBs, remember Quote

codders78 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Could Besic play right back at a push? Quote
markjazzbassist Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Could Besic play right back at a push? no but he could play centre back. so stones and browning could play RB and holgate as well. barry besic browning galloway holgate pennington all could play cb, lb we have galloway oviedo barry. it's not great but it's not like we don't have players "who could cover", they might not cover well but buttner can fuck off, we don't need him. Quote
codders78 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 No we dont need him. I would have concerns about Besic height to play centre back and thought right back might be more suitable. Quote
markjazzbassist Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 No we dont need him. I would have concerns about Besic height to play centre back and thought right back might be more suitable. he's played CB for bosnia national team, i wouldn't be too worried, he's a pitbull and i'd like to see him on the pitch more often, adds the steel we are missing.

codders78 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 I agree. I would like to see him involved more. Quote
MikeO Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah, baby Or Barry.... (where's that "clutching at straws" emoticon I asked for!) Mike, found one! Can you add it to the list? Done. Matt 1 Quote

nyblue23 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 StevO likes this. I don't. I've enjoyed reading this forum for the past couple years but a few of you like taking the piss out of newcomers a bit too much. What I said was true and I was even defended by a couple of the less cynical of you. Wrong thread to discuss too much, but it was clear that I meant for depth in squad building, Pienaar should be defined as a winger as he will always be started in place of a Deulofeu/Mirallas/whoever else on the left side. Not too nice of two mods to continue their jabs in a totally separate thread. Quote
StevO Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I'm wasn't taking the piss out of a newcomer. If you don't understand the difference between different types of player that's fine mate, I'm not bothered. Call him a full back if you want. Quote
Paddock Posted August 15, 2015 Report Posted August 15, 2015 I don't. I've enjoyed reading this forum for the past couple years but a few of you like taking the piss out of newcomers a bit too much.

Wrong thread to discuss too much, but it was clear that I meant for depth in squad building, Pienaar should be defined as a winger as he will always be started in place of a Deulofeu/Mirallas/whoever else on the left side. Not too nice of two mods to continue their jabs in a totally separate thread. Someone call the wahhhhhmbulance. You're wrong mate, Pienaar isn't a natural winger like Mirallas, Geri, Lennon etc. wingers are quick and like to run the line, pienaar is deployed out left to link up with the full back when he's attacking, he's never going to roast a player and dance down the wing and whip a ball in he's going to link up play and offer support when the full back bombs on amongst other things. Nobody here takes the piss out of newcomers, in fact you wont find a more welcoming or understanding board than this one, they've been putting up with Markjazzbasists drunken bourbon fuelled rants about selling the whole first team and playing the under 9s to blood them for fuck knows how long. Mget a thicker skin son there's no jibes or dogpiles it's simple football humour. If you can't take it you shouldn't follow football because it gets a lot more brutal than this.so pick your bottom lip up and man up. Matt, markjazzbassist and MikeO 3 Quote
