lilpyrokid951 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 What do you guys think we need to do, come January, in terms of buying players? Personally, i'd say our defense is pretty solid at the moment, but i think it'd be good if we bought a decent cover for baines at left back instead of just playing lescott there so he could have more time at CB and maybe get a quality right back as well. forwards i have no problems with, especially once james vaughan is back midfield: i reckon we deperately need a true, quality left winger and another right winger as well MAYBE add another center mid Tell me what you guys think.

Louis Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think Valente is adequate back up for Baines but fear he may be off in January because he is back up (he was Portugal's 1st choice left back 12months ago!) I think we are covered for options up front and in defence. The midfield is were the priorities should lie - I can see Moyes moving in for another central midfielder as 1st priority for depth unless Gravesen is the season long solution. Brazilian Anderson will be back from loan as will Steven Morrison from Partick Thistle. Tim Cahill should be on the mend by now too. Plus we always have Neville and Jagielka in emergencies. I cant see him buying a winger when Pienaar has been so impressive on the right hand side. The left midfield area could be problematic, maybe one of the reserve boys will be brought into the team or Moyes will bring in some relatively unknown from abroad with European experience (provided w'ere still in the UEFA cup) or the lower divisions .

StevO Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 realistically, we wont buy anybody. not often do we buy players in jan, and we probably dont have the £10m that never was according to the loan story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 i don't think our defence is solid, but i don't think we should be looking at it either center mid is a must, maybe a winger too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin.jones Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Left winger has to be I think with all the injuries sorted we can do without a cm until jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 realistically we won't sign anyone becasue we never do, of course we will "pretened" to be interested in people and moyes or big bill will come out with the mandatory, "we have been looking for players but the ones we want are not their at the right price blah blah blah" i would like us to move for someone like appiah, who we have been linked with in the summer, we really need some strenght in midfield, whether we actually try and get it is highly unlikley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Left winger has to be I think with all the injuries sorted we can do without a cm until jan don't really have a choice though do we. rather get a right winger than a left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 why would you rather get a right winger? we havent got ANY left footed midfielders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Pointless getting a right winger over a left winger, Center midfield is a must, when we get a class center midfielder we will soon start to play real football, none of this long ball shite weve played for years.

CraccerC Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 rather have a right coz i think arteta is best on the left. but i would liek someone that could switch with him from time to time. but yeh center mid is most important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldfishMemory Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I honestly think we should do everything we can to sign Appiah in Jan he's probs the best available player out there in the role we are looking to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Exactley, think he could be the "engine" the team needs in the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBri Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 APPIAH Has to be all the way. I think we are pretty decent in all positions except a strong midfielder. Need this type of player, Viera, dare I say Reid style. Grit and power with good vision and distribution. He is on e of the best that may be available to break up the oppositiion and initiate our own attacks. He is very capable on the ball and is able to hold it and for anyone who has seen him play, likes to play it on the deck. Would be brill for Arteta, Pienaar, AJ and Yak. Dig deep Moysey, this lad is a must. Was very disappointed we didn't make a positive move for him in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 id love nothing more than us to get appiah, he would really sure up our midfield. i would fear CL clubs would want him as well thou. (guardado would be nice too, but thats too late) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
