Snoddys Jockstrap 0 Posted June 28, 2013 exactly the box-to-box midfielder we need to replace johnson in the starting 11. having somebody as competent as Fer would mean no more double DM, so essentially an extra person attacking. the double DM screwed our attack last season (as did our deep full backs), screwed howson over and we will continue to be as toothless up front, even with RVW, if we continue to make up for johnson''s inadequacies with howson or other lying deep. fer, or any box-to-box midfielder, is the answer.

I''m not sure that I m entirely comfortable with such singling out of individuals from our team as you have done with Johnson here. We all know Bradley''s limitations, but we also know his strengths and are aware of the massive displays he put in last season, especially away from home, which contributed enormously to our eventual survival. Of course we aim to replace with better, but I fail to see that as ample reason to deflame one of the stalwarts of our two recent and successful seasons. He cost the Club nothing to sign and has been an invaluable player who has never shirked from the cause. I would venture to suggest that you might come to realise his true value when he is replaced. Bradley Johnson owes our Club nothing and long may he remain here, Leroy Fer or not. We are now fortunate enough to sign the RVW''s of the football world and to consider the reality of signings such as Fer and Toivenen, let''s not so readily discard those players whose contributions have led to this good fortune.

chicken 0 Posted June 28, 2013 To add to what Broadstairs has said - why not play Johnson and Fer in the same side?4-2-3-1?Fer and Johnson sitting and getting hold of the ball.Three of Snodgrass, Toivonen and Pilkington and RVW up front.For away games especially I can see that being a really good line up. Nice and solid with plenty of attacking options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted June 28, 2013 To play Fer as a holding midfielder would be a waste of his talents, he is best employed with a licence to get forward and attack - very similar to Yaya Toure in that way. I think playing alongside Tettey could be a good way to use him, allowing them to alternate between staying back and going forward - giving Norwich the chance to overload when atttacking but still having a solid base to stop a counter attack. The idea of having one midfielder who is defensive and one who is attacking is becoming outdated in the top leagues, you need players comfortable in doing both roles and meaning attacks are less predictable.

Foghorn 0 Posted June 28, 2013 Bethnal, just as long as they don''t both go forward (or back) at the same time - the communication needs to be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted June 28, 2013 Fer''s game is very different to Johnson''s, and if he comes, I think both will get a fair amount of playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted June 28, 2013 Well that says it doesn''t it?People saying it means Tettey and Johnson will be fighting for a spot on the bench whilst it looks more like Howson will be the one on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
