Alex 35662 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Iirc, last time we were in the championship we didn't sign anyone of note with skill, flair and creativity. Who left from the Premiership squad? Bassong, Damian Duff, Obafemi Martens? Pffft...who cares  We were left with Jose Enrique and Jonas Gutierrez on the left side toying with the opposition all season.  We had Simpson and Routledge on the right that other teams could not match their speed. Ryan Taylor, over the wall.  We had Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan joining from midfield with Andy Carrol, who had a break out season, and Leon Best and Peter Lovenkrands.  A confident Colocinni and Tin Krul.   I look at that team and this team and the first thing that pops out from that team to this, is how strong the left wing was for the Championship, and the midfield. That was a pretty darn strong team. You forgot the massive loss of Michael Owen. Barton and Best did very little that season but other than that, aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Think Barton was a part of the clique that brought a competitive mentality to that team even though he missed a lot of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10977 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Think Barton was a part of the clique that brought a competitive mentality to that team even though he missed a lot of the season I'd like Crouch for similar reasons.  He might not play loads, but he should bring some seniority and focus to the dressing room.

Â I think the bigger issue with this team is creating them. Â Without Ritchie we dont look like creating anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10977 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I think Diame will add a lot to our dynamism, but I'd like to see a Jonjo Shelvey Mk II. One who uses the skills that ours has, but isn't always looking for the Hollywood ball, who doesn't go missing in away games and who isn't petulant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5329 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yeah, CT always rated Mitrovic of course, so it makes sense that looking at someone who's a similar age, build and with a comparable scoring rate would be right up his street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
