Park Life 71 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Looks like he's back according to Pardew and he will play in the Ba role. Where would you play him and make a wanky formation to inc our best players. Edited September 18, 2011 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I think playing him is the last thing we should do. Imagine how we'd feel if he got injured again? He should remain a figurehead, embodying hope of a better future...always 2 weeks away from returning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Pardew's already said he'll play the number 10 role, which is fine by me. As we've missed a link between midfield and attack this year. Plus there's also the possibility of him and the likes of Marveaux interchanging, which will add a much more fluid and less predictable approach to our attacking play.

The Fish 10963 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Pretty clear he's going to be played off a main striker as I can't see PArdew straying too far from 4-4-2 I'd like to see him and Marveaux (if he performs to the promise he's shown) playing as wide, mobile, fluid strikers, playing off Ba/Best ... Shola Cabaye and Gosling playing in front of Tiote who in turn is playing in front of a flat back four of Simpson, Taylor, Colo and Santon I would have preferred --------------Krul Santon Taylor Colo Enrique --------------Tiote ------Barton------Cabaye Ben Arfa-----------Marveaux ------------Carroll But what's a boy to do?

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Swap Barton with Vuckic (long shot, I have no idea if he can play that deep) and an on form Ba/Best and it's not that bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting if Vukic does kick on and show he's good enough to see where he ends up as i think he said ages ago he's happy as a striker, off a striker or in midfield so could potentially do a job in one or more of those roles.

That could have been seriously good and wouldn't have cost much at all to do, it would just have required not selling players, sad really. Outlay of about £10m, but the Nolan and Routledge money would have recouped of £5m that and had we kept Carroll I think we could have shipped Best for £1m or so. So frustrating. But Ashley doesn't see the difference between spending £7m and finishing 8th - 10th or spending nothing and finishing 12th or 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 He has done for Everton, but I think that was because they have a small squad and require players to fill in at other positions on occasion. I think he would offer more to the team than Simpson there, based on absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Simpson is very poor going forwards and has occasionally put a good shift in defensively. I've seen fuck all of Gosling, but he impressed during pre-season. It's pretty clear he's a much more limited player than our starting midfielders, so I'd hoy him at right back there and I think there's a good chance he'd be better than Simpson there. Spurious, but I couldn't give a fook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
