Sign ansell and play 5 at the back with two wing backs. Or have 3 CB competing for two starting spots.
Out of that list I think Ansell or possibly finkler and Kal Fallah are the only others to look at seriously

Not Finkler. He's the laziest sack of shit in world football.Quote:

So close... that we are still 25% of our squad away from a top quality team? :gent:Quote:

Nobby looks like he has settled in well and mixes in with his teammates
Milos and Enver are on their own
Leonardo is off on his own and in his own world
From what I seen I reckon we are long odds at resigning him just based on his body language and his teammates to him
probably just had a big night out on the town the night before...Quote:

Leonardo's posts on FB suggests he wants to go back to the Netherlands or Hungary / Europe in general imoQuote:

He was very impressive last game though.
I'm glad someone else is on my page! People on this forum whinge about not having a creative player but when one is suggested they whinge that they are "lazy" when defending. I don't want my No.10 sitting deep defending.Quote:

Nobby is a cunning linguist. I still reckon we will blow it and lose him.
would rather try to hold onto Leo than have to go searching for a replacement at season's end - whether he's trying to improve his highlights reel for his next move or not, he's been great value the past few weeks, and for us to do our usual season's end rebuilding party trick and have to go out and look for a like for like player again could be problematic, I'd rather keep a player we can work with and convince him we have better beaches than Mongolia to entice him to stay...
It's all about finding the right balance and the system you play too. If you have 2 holding midfielders your #10 should not be expected to constantly be back-tracking helping out the defence. Sometimes the fear of conceding can over-ride common-sense. Not sure if we have been doing this all season but the last home game I noticed against the WSW that whenever we were defending a corner we had every player back defending. So what happens when the ball is cleared....it goes straight back to the opposition because there was no outlet provided.Quote:

We push all blokes back for every corner
We have done so for years.
It is insane if you ask me as you invite the opposition to bring 9 blokes into and around your penalty area and you cough the ball up everytime you clear it
Every bloke you leave up the park causes the opponents to take 1 of those 9 away
Considering Birraz is not the greatest at crosses why cause an unnecessary problem crowding the box further??
