chaddyrovers Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 We need 2 centre backs, 1 left back and 2 strikers in. Got 2/3 rights back so I wouldnt sign another unless Marshall leaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustard Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Conway prefers to play on the left wing. Most of the time thats where he has played. Marshall prefers playing on the left aswell tho Hate watching Conway on the left wing. Step 1. get ball and run down left wing. Step 2. stop and turn back onto right foot. Step 3. run back a few yards and put a cross in. Repeat ad infinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Absolutely. Left footers, left wing, right footers, right wing. How often do wingers cut in and score?. Very rarely. The whole philosophy of "wrong wing" wingers stinks. Never worked, never will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted July 23, 2016 Moderation Lead Share Posted July 23, 2016 Agreed. Inverted wingers doesn't work in the main (unless we're talking those at Bayern/Barca/Real, in which case they're the best in their field and quick enough for it not to matter!!)

oldjamfan1 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but perhaps Celtic won't come calling for Duffy after all. There are reports up here that Kolo Toure is signing a 12 month contract with them. I shudder to think what his wages will be!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanncd Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Brown to be awarded 12 month contract ? What is the sense in replacing one aging, injury-prone centre back (Killgallon) with another (Brown) who is even worse in both respects - and certainly will not be on lower wages than Killa. Could only happen under this totally stupid regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigger Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Why do you say that when Liverpool are short on centre backs? I'm not doubting you. I just wondered why they would loan him out. The same reason they loaned him to Granada, Bordeaux and Villa. Because he isn't good enough for them at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 So the extra defender to provide cover is an experienced championship centre half. I'm thinking Wheater or Greer. Maybe Anton Ferdinand but think one of the first two. It's the third spot and I would imagine it's between Brown and this guy to be the back up CB with a new player being bought to play alongside Duffy. That's my thoughts anyway.

blueboy3333 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hate watching Conway on the left wing. Step 1. get ball and run down left wing. Step 2. stop and turn back onto right foot. Step 3. run back a few yards and put a cross in. Repeat ad infinitum. step 4 create loads of chances and come about 6th in the assists table in 14/15. In the same year Matt Ritchie had the most assists playing on the opposite wing to his favoured foot. Both are quite slow so can't beat a man easily on the outside, but both have excellent delivery. It's a lot harder for a defender on his weaker foot to stop a player cutting back on his stronger foot from putting in crosses. Hence why they are both so effective. As someone else said though once Rudy left he wasn't quite as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers11 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 No idea who this mystery defender is but my guess is Gordon Greer. Good solid defender at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueboy3333 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If we get Brown and Greer - CB partnership with a combined age of 72. Good legs. But he played on the correct side not always for Chelsea or Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Cabbage Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Who has mentioned this centre half? Did wonder of any link to Greer after learning of his release. Linked with League 1 clubs if I remember correctly. Sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Somerset Rover Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I have a funny feeling whoever it is won't be a Kilgallon replacement. It'll just be more guff to temporarily appease the fans in the hope that we forget that Hanley never gets replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Maybe I should be posting my info on Twitter I'd take Greer over Brown if it's a one or the other situation. Need a younger replacement for Hanley though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers11 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'd be very supportive of signing Greer. Still has a lot to offer. Never had any pace so his age is not a problem. Good in the air, good positional sense, and a real leader. Central defensive options of Duffy, Ward, Hanley replacement, Brown, and Greer would be very strong.
