Shillzz Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I think we do need extra options in the AM area of the field. I'm happy with what we've got. I think we need to play 3 players who are going to put a shift in at central midfield for most games. We are undoubtedly (and our form reflects this) at our best when we play with 3 centrally minded midfielders. Whilst it would be nice to have the option of bringing in an AM, I couldn't see such an individual getting much game time. Without the tracking and workrate of KEA, we probably wouldn't have won on Saturday. We should not be so eager to replace what we have. The exception would be if we could bring in an attacking midfielder who's happy to sit on the bench and wait for his chance. i.e. not Kiyotake.

troon_villan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ^^ And we already have a few of them on our books IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Still need the creative force and rock in the middle of the park. Midfield still looks too weak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 ^^ And we already have a few of them on our books IMO Exunctly. On top of the 3 that started on Saturday, we have Sylla and Bacuna ready to assume any central midfield position, with Helenius and Tonev able to play the AM role if required. Not to mention Gardner & NZogbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 its great that only 1 of our signings has played and already has made an impact..yet we won 3-1. Hopefully 1-2 out of the 6 make a similar impact for the first team. Meanwhile.. Lestienne has come out and said theres still 2 weeks left and that he could leave.

PieFacE Posted August 19, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think we do still need a creative midfielder. We've got a good setup for counter attacking against better teams, but if teams sit back I worry we don't have much creativity to unlock a defence.

Villan4Life Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 http://www.voetbalnieuws.be/news/71310/Club_Brugge_wil_vleugelspeler_halen_uit_Serie_A Club Brugge seems to be this transfer window. Still not shopped Show the locals in the Italian Tuttomercatoweb interest Valter Birsa, a winger first division of Genoa. Club would have even made an offer on the Slovenian. The 27-year-old Slovenian international plays since 2011 for the Italians but he could so far not really continue. Previously he had seen beautiful things in the French Ligue 1 at Sochaux and Auxerre include. It is therefore not surprising that preys on Birsa Montpellier. 's alleged interest in Birsa do doubts rise again around the future of Maxime Lestienne . The Bruges goldcrest is common in the interest of Schalke and Aston Villa.

Morpheus Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'd much prefer us to get a DM in who has more presence than those in Lilliput. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Another CB for me - If Vlaar gets injured - We have a CB pairing of kids barley out of there teens. You can away with teenagers elsewhere - but at CB I believe such a pairing would be eaten alive - as they were last Christmas + Jan - Bear in mind that Baker and Vlaar seem to get quite few injuries - I still think we are lightweight here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 As some have mentioned already, I actually feel we are more in need of a big bastard in midfield as a pose to an AM, otherwise we'll get brushed aside by certain teams. A poor mans Yaya Toure if you will (Wanyama esque), I know we have Sylla but aside from that they are quite small. In the attacking third we have Weimann, Benteke, Helenius,Gabby, Tonev (who I think will be great), Nzogbia when he is back, bot saying we couldn't do with another but I'm not sure if AM should be our priority. DM and Right back/CB would be my priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 That lad from Anderlecht can play either CH or as a DM, and hes a big Bastard as well, can't remember his name, mentioned about 2/3 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
