Fair-to-middling
Indeed but he started out as a holding midfield player.

Last season he got twelve goals, not bad considering he didn't start for large parts of the season due to his contract issue!

Was he not injured too? Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Why does everyone assume that our signings all go straight into the first team? Or directly replace someone who already plays regularly? And all at the same time?

I'd be delighted with 8 midfielders all about the same standard (preferably Holden's standard or better) who could rotate in and out of our midfield and cover for injuries etc.

Was that the same time as Zight? Or Maylor?

anyway - in anticipation of a PSG sometime soon...

I wish Dratley well as he settles into the squad.

It doesn't make any sense, though. If we had another Pratley on the books then fine, you go for your life, but we don't, so don't.

Now I know why you picked Lofthouse Lower as your name...

If we cleverly replace the first letter of Lofthouse with the first letter of Lower, it has only limited comedy effect. Whereas replacing the first letter of Mike with the first letter of Hunt, it's fecking hilarious.

Did I get that right?

I suppose we could just call him Prats?
Why waste the once in a lifetime gift of having a player with prat in his name.

nahh.. only Dratley is worthy to play alongside the greats... Mavis and Savis.

(rumours are we are signing Mlatley to irish-dance his twinkle-toed way through opposition defences...)

So, in short, do we need any more midfielders this window?
Do we think Coyle is looking to add SWP as wide cover, and Moreno as a striker?

I prefer Dazzers Prattersley.

Yes, because he's said as much....

No, not when you think of other areas we are lacking in.

I'd say we need 2 strikers whatever happens, and if Cahill goes a centre back.

I think those are absolute essentials.

Above and beyond that would be nice to have another wide right player to provide an alternative to LCY and possibly even a left sided winger more effective than Petrov. Improvements on full backs would also be ideal but again non essential.

Thats how I see it anyways.

we do seem reasonably well stocked....

Muamba, Savis, Mavis, Holden, Dratley, Ricardo?, Petrov, Lee, Taylor,

on the striker front we have...

KD, Klasnic, Blake, O'Halloran, Obadeyi, Eaves

Lofthouse Lower · Post by **Lofthouse Lower** » Fri Jul 01, 2011 10:47 am

That's a shit stock of strikers.
