sconnerefc Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I believe that if we are to make that next step to top 6 challengers every season we need to invest in some quality wingers. If you look at the top 3 teams in the premiership (Chelski, The Arse and The Mancs) they all really heavily on there wingers. The likes of Ronaldo, Giggs, Robben, Ljunberg are influential players for these teams each season. Alright, we haven;t got the sources or reputation to attract these type of world class players but we can get better than the crop we got now. Andy Van Der Meyde Simon Davies Leon Osman James McFadden (when selected to play out wide) Mikeal Arteta (when selected to play out wide) AVD is a total waste of ability and is a dirty Alcoholic who probably picks up around 30k a week. Simon Davies is possibily the worst player at the club. Leon is a good little winger and can be effective when he is on form, but he isn't the type of winger that will acheive double figures in assists a season. Mikael Arteta is more effective in the middle were he can be invloved with everything and can bring more players into the game. He has the crossing ability for a winger but what we need is an out-out winger. Imagine the team we would have if we had kanchelskis and limpar now when they were in there prime. Personally i believe that we should take a look around at a couple of wingers for the January transfer window. SWP on loan would be ideal for us or even Harry Kewell at the shite. Imagine this as a lne up. 1. Tim Howard 2. Tony Hibbert 3. Nuno Valente 4. Joseph Yobo 5. Joleon Lescot 6. Mikael Arteta 7. Shaun Wright Philips 8. Phil Neville 9. Andy Jonson 10.Tim Cahill 11. Harry Kewell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 If we got SWP on loan and bought Ashley Young then we'd have two quality wingers on each side, Id be more than pleased if we could pul that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconnerefc Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 i think Ashley Young would more suit playing left back and being turned into an Ashely Cole type left back. He has all the credentials of Cole and could one day be as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsmith69 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 i think if we got young he would be a waste at left back. i live with a watford fan as i am at uni and he says he is an out and out winger but can play up front, wouldnt want to turn him into a left back, he would be quality for us but think he would command a fee of atleast 4-6 mill. doubt we have the money for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I can't offer any names at the moment, but we are desperately in need of one or two mid-fielders who can actually pass a f*cking ball to a team member. The last three games I have seen passes going astray or just launching the long up up field in the vague hope AJ's pace can create problems. I have an idea, some of you may cry me down for this but, how about we play football. Jock Stein once said "Football is a very simple game, all you need is four players who can tackle, four who can pass, two who can score and a lunatic in goal". We seem to make our own live's difficult and continually fail to play to our strengths, the Arsenal game was not pretty, but it showed a certain canniness in our approach to the game.

aaron Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 kewell can fuck off, ashley young is the one i want in our team, SWP would be alright signing but if he hits form at the end of a loan we will never see him again in our royal blue shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 midfield, and a partner for AJ if Moyes doesnt believe Victor can make it. id be happy enough with Smith on loan for the short term up front. but a left sided midfielder must be priority. i really think we miss Neville from the middle to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Smith on loan wouldnt add a single thing to our team. To bring him in would mean he would be a starter week in week out and I dont think he's good enough.
