agree, there's about three names there that would be first team (O'Caravan I'd take in an instant, a maybe on Williams and Reddy though, both can be temperamental in the wrong way), of the rest some are squaddies others youth league fillers, and why would we wanna pay overs for Neville, Lustica or Petratos when we have better players in our squad right now?Quote:

The other guys I agree we already have players of the same level (or better) in our squad so wouldn't waste time on it unless one of players on that level left for decent money and these guys came at a cheaper price.Quote:

You rate the Hoff that highly??
Whoa
Hoffman is one of the better defensive fullbacks in the league.Quote:

So...who of our off contracts are on other clubs radar?

Problem with Hoff is when he leaves that back third he is f^&**&g clueless.
Gypo up front is a nobody and would be a waste of a visa player........i'll have Ninkovic for sure (was suppose to play for us, muppet found him and was going to sign him but he got the boot and signed with fc).....Quote:

The most interesting thing will to see what happens to Kokko, he's got another year left on his contract, seems like Mark doesnt rate him at all
Haven't we already decided that Kokko hasn't played because of achilles injury and then broken jaw?
Or have we come back to the idea that he was Miller's signing and Jones doesn't want to use Miller's signings (except for the rest of the squad which is basically Miller's)?
He's fit, he travelled with the squad and was left out. I dont think its about him not wanting to use Miller's signings, maybe Kokko isnt good enoughQuote:

Are you at training every dayQuote:

If he steps up and bags some goals then we dont need to waste money on a striker and can spend it on a winger or CAM instead. I dont think Brown is creative enough for CAM and Clut isnt getting consistent game time
Also anyone have anymore information on Ma Lei Lei with the rumor of being sold back to china??
Hoff is a steady and generally reliable defender. He has made few mistakes this year in his defensive role.Quote:

1. When defending he has little help from the 7 position. Hoole provides little assistance for him and often reacts after the opposition left back has gone forward and there is an overload on Hoff.
2. Hoff has rarely gone forward this season. Either on Jones' instructions or because he knows that if the ball is lost it will be on him to get back and he might well doubt Hoole's ability to assist him.
While Hoff is not the best right back in the league he is up there toward the top. If he can improve going forward and crossing then Wolfman might well be right
Agree with everything you've saidQuote:

Hoole is actually doing us a favour here by helping put Hoffman closer to being back in the NBA league when he ain't offered a new deal
Thoughts on Daniel Da Silva? Been released by Roda FC. Huge expectations on the kid
At this stage I'd prefer Clut by a long wayQuote:

I think there was a bit of bullshit going on in terms of who owned him. I think Roma never actually had him.Quote:

Lot of names thrown around is the closest we will get to signing someone this window (my opinion)
Kokko needs the chance to prove his worth. I believe we should be looking at a 9 or 10 with brown back into the 6/8 role or he remains where he is and target another hard working midfielder
All in all with the space in the the squad free and some decent options about strengthening of the squad is needed to keep the form going
we need a winger that can cross 100% Nabbout and Hoole always cut in ALWAYS and Ma Lei Lei drifts around the field looking for a pass and lay it off.
There isn't a wide player in the league who can consistently hit accurate crosses. Old fashioned "wing play" doesn't exist anymore in this league,Quote:
