Yellow Submarine 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Looking at the 2 line up you''ve put has made me feel alot better than I did a couple of weeks ago. I think Glenn has done very well on paper. One thing that does strike me though is there isn''t a lot of "seasoned" pros in our squad (apart from Dejan). I think a wise head or two wouldn''t go a miss, even if it was only a squad member to encourage some of the younger players. I think the likes of Malky and Iwan were sadly missed from the dressing room the season we got promoted.So guys and girls, who do you think would help fulfil this role?

Cottaging Canary 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Yeah, great post James, that actually puts things in perspective. Been really pleased with Roeder''s signings so far, despite what some negative morons may think, let''s hope we can do the business on the pitch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breaker2 0 Posted August 1, 2008 I dunno, Clingan and Fozzy have been around a bit, only problem is with that frontline, we would look quite lightweight. I still think we''re missing a presence in midfield and upfront. I know i will get slated but someone like Etuhu and Dion, not saying I like Etuhu but having that kind of size guy in the squad always gives you another option. Bell, Hoolahan, Fozzy and Clingan are all a little on the small side, and Lupoli and OJ are young and similarly height deficient. That squad though does look a heck of a lot better than a few weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcstar 291 Posted August 1, 2008 Exactly what Roeder wanted, cover for every position, and your right, basically last years starting XI as cover. Notice you don''t get people like Wiz post on here, because they realise that they have no argument against you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Strummer R.I.P. 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Yeah , wasn''t Glenn quoted a few weeks ago as saying that he wanted to get some big, strong athletic types into the side? I was worried that meant he was going to try and turn us into a physical side without any skill-I wonder if he was mid-quoted or if he''s changed his mind?

[/quote]spot on yell sub - an experienced target man is an absolute must - we need a proven goalscorer with composure to do the biz up front, and inspire/settle the team...watford took a gamble on marlon king when he came out of clink, and were repayed handsomely...if we fluked a marksman here who got us 20 goals next season, then every city fan would be chuffed to bits!!!

Polar 0 Posted August 1, 2008 First eleven lacks a bit of experience, Stefanovic aside... i think we will see a mixture, think Lupoli and OJ will be fighting for a spot with Cureton and maybe if we get two targetmen then they will be fighting for a place... I''d be happy with russel and fozzy in the first eleven and Clingan deputising but if hes better, great.The great thing is everywhere seems to have some competition now.
