Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted July 12, 2006 Author Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2006 I don't want either really, not that they're not good players, but Bridge is a solid player who's never let us down, Del showed some good spells, but a lot of bad, it seemed he wasn't always a team player, and then there's also Billy who can play there. I'm saying this because I'm assuming/hoping there's a lot of faith in Jonas Elmer. A 17 year old signing went straight into the reserves last year, and played really well a lot of the time, and can play anywhere on the left, so would give the team some good attacking variations. I'm not saying he should play 40+ games, but some Cup matches, maybe the odd league sub appearance to get him integrated more rather than spend out on Cole or Lahm, who would be fine additions but set back Elmer. I could go into further depth on signings vs player development with regards to Chelsea, in fact, I might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Sky Sports now saying Velencia want Del Horno. If it did go through, I'd rather bring in Cole than Lahm, however I see Juni's point with Elmer, bring in either of these are both long term investments that will potentially stay in the team for a long time. Assuming Bridge will be 2nd choice it woudn't leave much room for Elmer to get anywhere near the team for a long time yet give or take a Carling Cup appearence here and there, or a place on the bench if one is injured, although now it looks like Willy is going nowhere it makes it even harder. Point being if we keep signing players left right and centre, none of the quality young players in our reserve's are ever going to get a real chance to get established in the first team with a solid run of games.

Poyplemonkeys Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I don't particularly want to see Lahm come in as unless I'm mistaken he is right footed and would be joining to play at left back and I am extremely sceptical of Right footed leftbacks and vise versa. I think Bridge is good enough to play first team tbh. Far better than Del Horno who was inconsistent and often made the wrong choices both going forward and defending. I'd be more than happy if that Huth deal collapsed but God knows how long ago that was posted, probably all been resolved by now More than happy with Geremi also. Realised he was going to have to adjust to playing at right back last season and looked solid towards the end so hopefully we can give him the RB slot, Bridge the LB and play Gallas in the middle alongside Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beffrey Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Aye they've called the deal off for definitie. I like the guy, but am a little dissapointed because we don't need him - he won't ever be real top quality - and I thought we were getting a decent price for him. But then at the same time when you look at the figures being touted around for Nolan, Davies and Carriclk, maybe it was a fair deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
