Summer transfer window.

[Swartzy]

If Hackney comes in who goes out as we're overstocked in centre midfield?

Overstocked with players that are warming the bench..

Wouldn't have a clue if Moyes still wants him, but he definitely enquired about someone there last summer ..
It's not a position we're crying out for, but If it's Moyes with the chequebook

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Should we ask him to sign up to GOT so he can give his opinion?

You got access to him? If so why not yeah. I'm sure he'd love debating with Davek

Yeah but you don't want a bloated squad. I'm thinking it'll be Idrissa to let go as he's out of contract but I can't imagine Moyes wanting to not give him a new deal either

 

[vinvinvin]

Hackney, Garner & KDH midfield looks pretty good, three players who can play and tackle

It actually is though, many of the current lot are quite similar, Hackney can get stuck in but also get forward quite a bit and hopefully help with attacking as he is a decent passer.

Gana is about 87 so I would say him.

 

[Harryflashman]

He's been injured for the most part Nymzee. Let's not go over old ground here. He's not your cup of tea and that's fair enough but I think there's a player in there if you play to his strengths

Looking At the stats apparently he’s made 36 appearances this season with 2 goals . Appreciate he’s had injury issues but looking at that he’s had plenty of game time.

I did watch him last night and he was very poor , looked like half the time he was looking to be physical rather than focus on his attacking game .

Gana to retire after the WC?

 

[blulouie]

You're the only person that likes him for some reason.

Oh there's a few more mate.

This isn’t a positive thing either btw.

It's not about what I want, It's not even some kind of fact that he's looking at him, It was just a point that he spoke to Carrick in the summer.

Not even sure how he would fit in the premiership, he was a bench player in the u21's when I watched that Tournament.
And the 2 big players of that tournament, one has been blindsided by Emery, the other is lost at Newcastle.
As for Barry, he did nothing, I think he got 1 goal..

Yeah, that's why i said it's overstocked with benchwarmers..
Fb's come before a Cm in my eyes.

Yeah FB should be the priority, I just have this worry we will stick with CB at fullback thing, a Ben White type, better than what we have but still not really the right thing.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Seeing rumours that wilsons going to villa, 100k a week...

Mad money that, shame as he'd have been an upgrade on dwight

 

[Lanolin]

I don’t think his effort levels are acceptable to be honest. You can clearly see he is a centre forward who doesn’t want to get his kit dirty, and if you lack ability then the very bare minimum you need to do is give the opposition CB’s a hard time. Defenders put their slippers on when they see him on the touchline.

I know what you mean, but I think there's different ways of looking at that type of thing. He's not a Stracqualursi or Beto type who will run through brick walls to try to make up for their lack of ability and there's an argument that he should be doing more of that, I get that. That's not the same though as the sort of 'he's just here for the money and the flash cars/his head's not in it/he just doesn't care/he wants out' type shouts that there have been a lot of (and there are a lot of pretty much any time we have a player who isn't particularly popular).

From what I've seen of him so far, he certainly hasn't gone from the development team of a French 4th division side and unsuccessful trials with Hamilton Academical to playing for France under 21s, in La Liga, and then getting a big money move to the PL by virtue of his astonishing natural ability, so you'd have to assume he's put a fair bit of graft in to get to where he is. If there's one thing we know for absolute certain about Moyes it's that he will not abide shirkers or poor trainers and he's picked Barry consistently, so again you'd have to assume his manager doesn't believe he's not trying. There were people (and plenty of them) giving him pelters on sunday for a perceived lack of effort when he was quite blatantly doing what he was supposed to be doing, the fact that they wanted him to go and close the keeper down meant he was lazy apparently, despite the fact he was obviously playing to instructions and his manager was quite content for him to be doing what he was doing. That's the type of thing i'm talking about.
