defensive midfielder....................

Now we have signed Cowie who is a creative midfielder with all his assists!! I think we now need to bring in a defensive midfielder with a bit of toughness!!! I'm thinking someone like brown from portsmouth on a free, bowyer or even oli back!!

What are your thought guys ????????????????

Oli is not coming back and has had knee surgery - I have Carlesque inside info on Oli!!!

we def need to get this type of player... someone who can win the ball all day. no nonsense.. added protection for the back four ... Bryan Robsons words to Gazza were , ill win the ball for you and then you can do what the f**k you like with it...


thats what we need..


but who is available , or who could we get?

I'd have Oli back, as long as someone told him that his job was to stay in front of the back 4 and break things up like he was good at (not push up like an idiot) and to pass the ball QUICKLY AND SIMPLY!

his distribution was way to slow from the back, too slow on the ball allowing people to take the ball back from him in dangerous areas...

he was ok at times , but went missing out of the game way too often.... also on large wages...

there has to be better options surely....

Jonathan Hogg

Oli at times was the best in his position in the league, other times woeful. He gave us a gd goal return.

f*** it id play blake or wildig there!

emanuelle frimpong - rumours were doing the rounds with this lad. anyone know what sort of midfielder he is, think he is a holding player.

I'd give blake a try there !

Here's footage of him, seems just the type of midfielder we need imo! (He's number 4)

Where's Jack Cork gone then? last i heard he was available on a free

I always thought that particularly towards the end of the season, Dave Jones played Oli out of position and too far forward, take the game against QPR for example where he was almost playing as a supporting striker. One of his weaknesses his is limited passing ability, if we play him as a DM and could get him rather cheap then I'd like to see him back here.

I hope we dont have him back we need someone more consistent, how many goals did he get last year i can think of four did he score many more, he was good at sticking his long legs in and taking the ball of players but then he would give it back putting us under pressure far to often so im in the no camp im afraid.

I would leave Oli there as he was crap the last 15games of the season

Why dont we go in for Alan Smith

f*** it id play blake or wildig there!

You'd play Blake there, the same Blake who can't pass the f*cking ball?

Hudson And Keinon as the 2 centre backs

Maybe Gerrard sitting just in front as a defensive midfielder.
I think he'd ok there and would pop up with a few goals from set pieces too.

If Bellers doesn't return, a suitable City captain in my view.
Passionate and vocal.
