Oh and Perch Reo-Coker's an actual defensive mid and would be for free and wouldnt take much in wages And if either of those 3 players played defensive midfield we'd be shagged, theyre all offensive minded players and would have little to no influence on the games when playing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Perch Haven't seen enough of Gosling but the other two are never DMs in a million years. I think Reo-Coker has lost interest in football like. Was a canny player a few years back.

Aye thats the way im looking at it, I don't rate him highly but I'd much rather having Reo-Coker filling in midfield in Tiote's absence than Smith plus he'd be a cheaper option if we get Smith off our books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your correct. None of them are defensive midfielders nore did i say they were. They are box to bos midfielder and could do a job if needed. Wasnt it you alex a while back who didnt agree with the idea of one def mid and one att mid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt it you alex a while back who didnt agree with the idea of one def mid and one att mid? I'm not a fan of the modern obsession for one. Especially if you have a 4-4-2 it's better to have two box-to-box midfielders. In the way we set up though when everyone is fit, Tiote clearly has more defensive responsibilities than whoever partners him. It just so happens he covers that much ground he helps out all over the pitch. Barton is better going forward and doesn't have the engine, physicality or discipline to play this role (before anyone points to Tiote's yellow/red cards that's not the sort of discipline I'm on about - I mean knowing when to hold your position etc). Nolan has never been a box-to-box midfielder so I'm surprised at that comment. With that in mind I'd agree with those saying Reo-Coker would be better cover for Tiote than what we currently have.

I think the Nolan/Tiote partnership works very well, it means that Nolan can do alot more and get into positions in and around the oppositions back four knowing that Tiote will always be behind him keeping his shape and protecting the defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefor if one of those three had to play there then it would be two box to box midfielders in the middle. More to your liking? I thought before Tiote came in that Nolan and Barton would of been decent in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrulsCurtains 0 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 He wants to leave his current club because he's down the pecking order and can't get a start, so why would he come here where the current DM is even better than the one he can't displace. He'll go on the cheap/free to one of the promoted sides so he can start every week. If he's still here The opportunity to sell Tiote and get Reo Coker for free... Fat Mike won't miss that boat!

JoCo85 0 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I would love to see Fernando Llorente come here - 25 years old 6' 5'' and a powerhouse of a striker. Isn't really getting a look in the spanish national team as they only play midgets. Still has 7 in 13 for his country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoCo85 0 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Yeah I read that as well (Real Madrid and Tottenham fee)- figured the lure of mid-table mediocrity, £20,000 a week wages and playing with people such as Perch could of been too much to turn down. Still would of loved him here, looks like a proper number 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoog 0 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Carlton Cole? Paul Konchesky? What the fuck??? If Pardew goes after shit like that then he's in the same bracket as Joe Kinnear as far as I'm concerned, we'd better bring in much better players than that shite.
