Quinn31 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Being linked with him. I'd be surprised if we brought him in because I believe he is plays the exact position as Barry and I presume is on a pretty big wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 A defensive midfielder is not what we need, and he's a pretty poor one at that. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiediow Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Be a good 3rd signing. Can play Denfensive Midfield, Box to Box, Centre Back and I think he may have played as a full back when needed. Played in all those positions I think for Arsenal when required. Think your right though, should be played in the Barry position. Very good cover for many areas we have no cover for (Centre Back and Right Back) and can replace Barry if he's tired due to his age.

captainbeaker Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Good player can be the centre half cover as well if stones stays and cover for Barry, who has staretd the season well but may not keep the form up all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainbeaker Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Stock piling DM's is not the way forward Not saying that but would be a useful player to have with permiership experience that can play centre half and midfield.

markjazzbassist Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 No thanks, we already have 6 that play central midfield. Barry McCarthy Gibson Besic Barkley cleverley. Sign a striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouse Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 No thanks, we already have 6 that play central midfield. Barry McCarthy Gibson Besic Barkley cleverley. Sign a striker he is better than all them bar McCarthy, agree not a priority area but I would be strengthening IMO, he can also play CB.

StevO Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I don't think he's better than Barkley, and from what I saw at West Ham I wouldn't have him over Barry either. Forget him as a centre half, if we want someone to cover that position but a centre half! Not a midfielder three years past his best. markjazzbassist, Matt and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vranny Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm in agreement with those saying there's no point bringing him in as a utility/squad player. He'll be on much too high a wage for that sort of role. I actually thought he did alright from what I saw of him at West Ham though. He'd probably be the most creative CM in our squad along with Gibson if he signed. There's just no real reason to go after when we're much more desperate for CB cover and a No. 10/wide playmaker type player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'd of had him if the wages were right AND he was just an extra rather thn on of the infamous 3. If he was oneof the 3 I'm made up he's not signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not a surprise really. A number of reports had even hinted that our "interest" was just to get WH to pay up. With Gibbo's off-field issues coming to the fore though, I'd rather have Song on 50k, at least gives us some athleticism and steel in the midfield, decent footballer too.

markjazzbassist Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Very interested to see how Bilic does with this team. Top 5 with all the talent they brought in. Anything less and they'll be disappointed I gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
