Would absolutely love us to sign a destroyer in midfield

[northriding]

Can just imagine Morsy as the fulcrum of a slick passing machine.

Morsy did look ok at first I thought, and did look to be “a bit of a” destroyer. I think rather than lacking a destroyer as such we’re just missing a few leaders as per. It’s a team of kids in midfield and upfront, minus Crooks I guess.

He looked like a destroyer in the sense that he was slow and often late to the tackle, so potentially could break a few legs. Not sure he was ever good enough for what we needed, the fact he ended up in league one confirmed that really.

I can’t disagree. Once the first goes in we look like folding every time

I thought that......but we topped the league last year from points gained after going behind.

Definitely need more aggression in the team, couple of right nasty b*stards wouldn't go amiss.

We have needed this type of player for years

Well ok but he now starts for a side who seem to be fancied for promotion by many. I’m not saying he was “good” or that I want him back but he is doing ok for himself now.

He’s on about Snail Morsy

Christ, him again. Aye he was strong in the tackle, problem was he never actually won them.

Terrible terrible player

 

[Angelofayresome]

I have always liked Browne for Preston, decent going forward and loves a tackle.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Clayton.

If we had some kind of cryogenic freezing machine that could have stopped him from aging, he'd be perfect.

No he wouldn't.

 

[Quicksilvera]

Not sure it is what we need, we aren’t set up to play with a ‘destroyer’.

We haven’t had a good one since boateng anyway.

 

[Redwurzel]

A destroyer that we can afford is not going to be a slick passer - I don't think Boateng was known for his slick passing and he would be £15m to £20m in today's market.

Morsy's free kick today was headed for Ipswich's first goal - who have won their first 2 games this season.

The current choice is Barlaser or Morsy?

 

[Scrug]

Based on my exceptional performance on Football Manager, I can recommend the following players:

Raphael Onyedika - Club Brugge
Marco Kana - Anderlecht
Marko Bulat - Dinamo Zagreb
Sivert Mannsverk - Molde
Patrik Berg - Bodo/Glimt

Barlaser isn't a defensive midfielder, regardless of where Carrick plays him. Neither is Howson. Their strength is their ball playing ability.

If we're going to play a destroyer in midfield at this level we'll need a different style

Apart from last season, obvs, when no team won more points from losing positions than Boro.

 

[BoroMart]

Did George Boateng not have any sons??

 

[Quicksilvera]

Apart from last season, obvs, when no team won more points from losing positions than Boro.

Our fans like to forget about this when going into meltdown mode over 2 losses.

People can’t see the bigger picture.

Just feel since the Huddersfield game towards end of last season there’s been a frailty

 

[RavsDad]

Hard in the tackle, athletic, energetic, good on the ball.

Need someone in there. Look weak as **** at the moment in midfield.

I hope the Akpom money allows us to sign a central midfielder. We need someone to come in and start too, not a back up player.

This. Absolutely.
Arguably the biggest asset we are woefully short of.

Definetly. Too frail
