nycanary 1 Posted January 13, 2005 Sheffield United expressing interest now that Morientes has signed. But I''m not sure Liverpool should be letting him go given the troubles they have had with injuries. They have Baros, Cisse, Morientes, Sinama-Pongolle and Mellor. A team like theirs can afford 5 strikers.So.........Mellor on loan? Anyone think that''s a good idea?At full strength w/o Bentley:GreenHelvegDohertyFlemingCharltonJonsonFrancisSafriHuckerbyAshtonMellorMulryneMcKenzieSvenssonDrury/Edworthy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

olster 0 Posted January 13, 2005 I think he would be a good loan signing I know he did not show much when he played against us recently but he has got something like 6 or 7 goals this season I don''t think liverpool would let him out on loan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIC 0 Posted January 13, 2005 You may not think so ncfc4prem, but plenty of others think otherwise, such as myself. I''ve only seen him play 6 or 7 times this season, but he looks pretty good and is at least as effective as Bentley has been, if not more so.I say yes, bring him in Worthy.

Saint Canary 0 Posted January 13, 2005 Looking at him, he could definitely be tempted to the club by some of Delia''s home cooking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaries4ever 0 Posted January 13, 2005 Would prefer Pongolle as he has pace and with Ashton holding the ball up he can run on to it and create some chances. Mellor is good but he is not the fastest, similar to Ashton in holding the ball up and being a good finisher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently she gets so fed up of doing cooking during the day that when they have the chance, Michael fetches the takeaway (true story). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 335 Posted January 14, 2005 I would have to say no. I thought he was poor at FCR last week and did not impress while on loan at West Ham. He has had a couople of goals in a run this season but his overall play has not impressed me at all.I agree that I would be far more interested in Pongolle but cant see LFC letting him out of on loan. Any was a midfielder or central defender are our priorities.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chapman Baxter 0 Posted January 14, 2005 NO from me as well. I have a mate who''s WHU fan, and he said Mellor was awful for them.He seems pretty immobile, and not very talented, but other than that he might be ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted January 14, 2005 I''d take him on loan. The lad has talent. He''s shown that in the past few weeks at Liverpool when they have had their striker crisis. It must have been hard for him at West Ham. It was his first really taste of regular football. Now he has more experience. I''d take him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archie 0 Posted January 14, 2005 Certainly not. He scored a lucky goal against Arsenal and it has all been blown way out of proportion. I think he only managed about four goals for West Ham in the whole of last season - he is overrated. What we need now is proven quality - not the Elvis Hammonds of this world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
