PLYMOUTH'S stupendously all singing dancing transfer thread!

[bwfcdan94]

Freddy Adu? I remember reading an article about Adu when he was only 13 and how he was going to be a better than Pele. Didn't quite work out like that. To much too young.

[boltonboris]

When he was 13 you were.... 8 I bet. Read many 'articles' when you were a nipper?

[jaffka]

When he was 13, he was really 21

[bobo the clown]

... aye. And lived in a right shit-hole.

I read my dads newspaper - me mam would help me with the difficult words.....

but I still think MD's short passing could be well employed there, especially in a 4-2-3-1 with lots of options for him to pass to.

In my opinion MD's greatest attribute is when he has the ball at his feet driving forward at defenders from the hole behind the striker.

For me, whenever he's played back there he looks a little lost, offers little protection defensively (not through a lack of trying, more due to a lack of understanding) and I don't think he's as good a passer as is made out.

He seems to fall into the classic mould of an English number 10 who struggles to fit in a 4-4-2 system. Let's not forget our best run in our relegation season came with him playing in front of Reo-Coker and Muamba until Coyle changed things for Wigan in his infinite wisdom.

I'd be interested to know other people's thoughts on this.

For me it'd be

-----------Davies Danns--------

I admit he's ok at doing that, but anything else, useless.

Doesn't track back, hangs around the centre circle waiting for the ball, isn't a goalscoring threat and like you rightly say, looks lost in general.

Yet people think he's the new Pele.

On the plus side, he's better than Pratley, who IS shite.

This. I'd happily put Spearing in where Danns is and move Danns out wide, if that was required too.

[Bijou Bob]

You remind me of the bloke who sits next to me AW. He Slags Pratley off before the bloke even kicks the ball. Priestley works hard for the team, plays wherever he's asked and usually finds a white shirt. He's unspectacular, but for me, decent enough at this level. I certainly wish another half dozen in the squad had his attitude and work ethic.

Wigan have signed Markus Holgersson, who is a defender. At 6'3 sounds like he is a centre half but apparently he also can play at right back.

Hopefully they aren't interested in Dawson any longer and he will come when the loan window opens.

Wigan are still interested in Dawson and their better league position puts them ahead of us to sign him

Bit of a kick in the balls.

You think he has access to a league table?

If he has, then he doesn't belong at Bolton as apparently league tables are no longer important.

[BWFC_Insane]

The Bolton News say we can't sign him because we don't have the "funds".

Indeed last week they ran a story saying Dawson wanted to come here but the money wasn't available unless we could shift another of our big earners.....

Who are these buggers bleeding us dry?

And what the exploding tits do we do next year if we can't find a Brighton to take Keith Andrews off our hands?

3 cheers for Darren! He is clueless Bob. He's a tremendous athlete but by god he's a bad footballer.

Mavies is a good footballer with no application whereas Pratley is all application with no talent.

I don't expect him to score 30 yarders and do backflips everytime he gets the ball but he offers nothing.

You see so many decent players who play in this league who can do all that and still have an end result.

He does seem a decent lad and he gives 100%, he's just nowhere near good enough.

So ner ner ner to you.
