AS FOR THE MIDFIELD AFTER WATCHING JOHNSON RECENTLY ID SELL HIM AND REPLACE HIM WITH STEPHEN M'BIA FROM RENNES OR MANUEL FERNANDES FROM VALENCIA THEY ARE BOTH BETTER THAN JOHNSON AND YOUNG PLUS FERNANDES IS GELSONS COUSIN SO HE COULD PUT A WORD IN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12154887.post-65543663100452285702008-08-20T13:32:00.000+01:002008-08-20T13:32:00.000+01:00Really couldn’t disagree with you more. In no sens...Really couldn’t disagree with you more. In no sense do I think that Silvestre is a top class full back. Indeed, in the last few years, I can point to derby victories where our goals have come directly from faults in his play. But to suggest that we are ok with what we have is simply falacious! I shudder when I think of how many of our goals against last season were scored from moves down the opposition’s right when Garrido was playing. Add to that the fact that Petrov is unsupported to the point of isolation when Ball was on the field and I think a new Left fullback is key. As for Ben Haim slotting in there, he was simply awful against Midtyland.<BR/><BR/>I agree that midfield and up front are priorities, but I can see little else but repeats of Saturday unless we get a quality full back in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12154887.post-84963618489947493012008-08-20T11:07:00.000+01:002008-08-20T11:07:00.000+01:00disagree there danny. not about silvestre, glad he...disagree there danny. not about silvestre, glad he's not coming, dont rate him at all. but we do need a better left back. garrido is too slow and weak. Ball simply doesnt have enough quality at this level. tal haim is much better centrally rather than playing him out of position. i think both a LB and a right SWPinger are priorities. strikers - we can manage with what we have unless theres a really good deal out there...<BR/><BR/>cheers<BR/><BR/>andyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
