Tom 14011 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I suppose you could say I am mildly racist. I don't think we should sign players who go missing to play in Africa. Or sign players whose religion interferes with our game schedule. Time off for a death in the family should only be allowed when it's yours.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I doubt Charnley and them will be too arsed about going all out to get him since we've already got one striker in. Speaking for myself here but I'd much, much rather go for someone like Berahino. Someone who can play off Mitrovic/Cisse, and has pace. Austin and Mitrovic seem to have pretty similar attributes.

Noelie 103 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 How could they revoke my senior status? Do they have a magic pill that would take a lot of years from my 82? If so, I'll push to be revoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Anyone agree that we've a pressing need for reinforcing the full-back positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Anyone agree that we've a pressing need for reinforcing the full-back positions? Not a priority for me, but if we sort out a winger & another CB we should definitely look to sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Obviously we have a good rightback but I don't think we're anywhere near as strong (for a first choice) on the left. But I'd like to see if Haidara can develop playing with a better team around him. It can't have been easy for him as a young defender to play alongside Williamson or with Sammy or Gouffran ahead of him. With Mbemba replacing Williamson and hopefully Colo regaining some form with him we might start to see him develop. Add someone in front of him who can actually put pressure on the oppositions defence and we might find he's a good player. We've also got Anita, Taylor & Colback who can cover the fullback positions at a push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1245 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 And MbembaTrue but I'm not sure I'd want to be pulling him out of the centre if he's fit. I suppose if Janmaat and Taylor were injured we could go with Colo and Lascelles in the centre and him at fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Either way, it's refreshing to see how the inclusion of two centre halves that aren't Mike Williamson provides some options and depth at the back. Now, if we could only shoot Williamson out of a cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We aren't going to have seven CBs on the books. Agreed, unless Williamson leaves I think Mbemba is our lot for CB buys. We'll have Colo and Mbemba as the most likely starting partnership, with Dummett, Taylor, Williamson and Lascelles all as back up and then youth like Satka and Kemen if desperate. I just hope Williamson is below Dummett and Taylor in McClaren's pecking order but with 100 or so appearances he'll be seen as experienced enough backup to not warrant buying another. I'd quite like to find a replacement for Colo but a fully new CB partnership and a new coaching staff may be a bit too much change at the back. I'm hoping Lascelles proves to have a lot of potential and then we'd have a canny future partnership with him and Mbemba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17257 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 As far as centre backs go we're being linked to James Chester again this morning by Shoot! website, which the last time I heard of it was printed on paper and was doing spotlights on various late 70s footballers, who almost always stated that their favourite food was steak and chips and their favourite singer was Rod Stewart http://www.shoot.co.uk/category/news/palace-join-leicester-newcastle-and-villa-in-race-for-defender/ Oh and Johnny Evans too, Pappis is looking forward to renewing aquaintances am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
