Killeen30 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 What I've seen of Lowton so far he's nowhere near PL level. We don't need another version of him at LB Silly statement, not all players that come from the lower divisions are all of the same ability. Plus Lowton has only had two games, let's give him a chance! 36 league games to go! Hopefully the cup game will see us get a win and gain a little bit of confidence! Guzan shoul play during the week.

Moorski Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm pretty certain Simon Poulsen has just signed for Sampdoria, or is just about to sign, so I think we can rule him out! Thats a shame in that case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Kevin Davies @ bolton. Think we need a no nonsense approach in the box, setting stuff up. Sorry but Bent dont exactly put himself out does he ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Then what kind of LB do we need? If Lambert rates him then that's good enough for me. If his name was Cressino and played in the Spanish league I'm sure your opinion would be different. If this "Cressino" was good enough to play in the Spanish league you can count on that he'd be a lot better player than some kid with 1 season in the Championship behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Our problem is not that the squad is to weak, we have loads of decent squad players who can fill in for a game or two. Problem is we only have about 3 (Vlaar, KEA, Bent) players good enough for a PL starting 11. Signing players like Owen, Hargreaves, Carew, Reo-Coker and so on won't help one bit, it'll only increase the wage bill. Throwing a kid like Cresswell in at the deep end and hoping he can swim is'nt the right way to go either. The little i've seen of him he looks no better than what we already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Kevin Davies..... Christ. Short term, do a job. Do u really think any of our pussyfooted forwards would get stuck in where it matters ? The scenarios Davies creates could lead to opportunities in the box. Doubt Bent gives too much of a toss; wants it all to his feet. Delfouneso ? Weimann ?? Gabby ? Hmmm....

theboyangel Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Malouda, Benayoun and Kakuta told they can leave Chelsea (according to Tw@tter) Kakuta wouldn't be a bad shout, cheap on wages and fee too i'd imagine. Benayoun and Malouda??? A few years ago definately but now, no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think Lowton has looked quite promising - he's not the finished article, but he's done reasonably well I think. Same here, I actually think he was one of our best players Yesterday. Good in the tackle, decent passing, works hard and gets forward a lot. If Cresswell is similar/ better then I think that'll be £4m well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Whoever is sitting right now thinking "yeah, i'd love NRC back here, he'd sort us out" - take a long hard look at yourself, immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaonsea Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Free transfers like reocoker can wait, as there is no deadline on signing bosmans. We need fees payed for quality asap. IF we fail to sign anyone before the deadline then players like carew reocoker and hargreaves must be looked at. Im ashamed writing that, but they add some experience.

Agreed. The only worrying thing, is a vastly overrated "leader" though he is, he'd still probably improve our team. Someone else said it further up but there's only really 3 or 4 players of Premier League standard in the team, the rest is filled up with players who either aren't there yet or will never be. Totally back the regime but think we desperately need a stronger starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is saying that - it's more a case of thinking about what he offers and what we lack, some people think he'd be a good squad player and could do a job for us, not that he is some sort of messiah.
