OK, who do you want?

[luke45]

Shorey, M'Bami and Camara and Luke would be very happy indeed!

RVD, I don't think Southampton fans rated him as highly as we do - in either position. So that doesn't really prove much one way or the other.

Maybe so, but I'm inclined to agree with RAF on this one. If Rory plays, it should be in the middle, I'd rather have a proper, pacy right back.

[RAF]

Supporters of a team who actually saw him play for their team in that position didn't rate him, but a couple of our fans do even though

A- He has never played RB for us
B- Hasn't played RB for a long time now
C- Would be booked for time wasting every time he had to take a throw over the half way line.

Fortunately the bloke that actually calls the shots clearly doesn't see it as a viable option thank fuck.

Back to the drawing board boys.

So how to you respond to the fact that Southampton fans didn't rate Delap in midfield RAF? And didn't rate Fuller either? Does that mean we shouldn't rate them?

The same bloke that has spunked millions of pounds on players that he doesn’t even rate enough to give a game to? Yeah, they are one and the same.

MIDFIELD
Koumas is so not a Pulis player as he is not tactically rigid enough to play centre mid in a Pulis team. We will bring in one, though, as Amdy may well go to Pompey - O'Neil is the latest name linked, but Boro may not want to sell to us. I thought many in the know on here said M'Bami was nailed on?

FULL BACK
Shorey is far too attacking a full back for Our Tone. I think he'd like to sign Riggott - a classic Pulis right back/centre back acquisition, but again Boro may say no. I thought Davies was supposed to do this job, but six months later he is yet to start a game!! Sonko will be off to Brum on loan if Riggott arrives.

ATTACK
I also think we will sneak Camara in right at the death to give us another option. It would not be a great surprise if Kitson goes on loan if so, maybe back to Reading?

[A-teen_six_T3]

I want Ledley - just for the "I told you so's" and to cover my back,a nd not make me look like a liar or wind up merchant

But in all fairness, we need some flair in midfield, becaus on Tuesday when Amdy went attacking, to cause a bit of flare we were left exposed and Whelan wasn't good enough to be a quality defensiive midfield el la salif and Amdy (quality in temrs of our squad)

Don't think Full back is too much of a problem, I like griffin, and Higgy isn't exactly wank.

If rumours of Lawrence and Pulis fell out, he wont start again, we need to replace Lawrence with a quality RM, some one from the championship could do a job, don't know who, cus' I don't follow it...Just look at the stat tables


Stiker - is it really a concern

Mama or Beattie

With Fuller or Kitson

it's unlikley we are gonna get two injured for a long period of time, and one suspended at the same time...surely?

Is it worth paying over the odds for a "just in case"

That doesn't make sense.

Tom, with the Delap situation I think he has it right.
It's not very often, but I agree with him on this.

[Lakeland Potter]

Doesn't make sense to me either, RAF. But they didn't rate him in midfield - but we do - well most of us do.

[RAF]

No your sentence didn't make sense , not what the fans thought of him.

[StatesideStokie]

Koumas, Ledley, Finnan and Shorey....is that asking a bit TOO much?


Sorenson

Finnan Ab Faye Shawcross Shorey

Koumas Lawrence Ledley Etherington

Fuller Beattie


Bench: Kitson, Delap, Whelan, Higgy, Griffin.


That would do me.

[Lakeland Potter]

I wouldn't play Ledley and Lawrence together in centre midfield, Stateside. Neither is good enough as a defensive midfielder. And you can bet if I wouldn't play them together, TP won't either! ;D

[Danstoke82]

Shorey, Ledley and Camara would be proper tasty thanks Mr Coates.

If we really cannot get Ledley to move his ass then Koumas would be just as welcome.

[lordb]

Delap's best position,imho,is CM

not exactly Hudson-esque by any means however unlike any of our other CM's (not counting Liam) Rory makes good runs off the ball beyond.joining up with the strikers into the penno area & might get a gola or 3 by seasons end

Whlean can than play behind (or Diao if A1 100% fit) where he scuttle sbaout enough & can at least pass OK (unlike Amdy who to be fair tackles better)

its a big shame Oliie has been so poor.

I wouldnt averse to seeing Tongue play CM either

tbh I genuinly think even if we sign no-one else we have the players to win enough games to get the 17-20 points we need
