Tricky1884 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Who would we get in the role loan or signing? I really hope we wouldn't go back to John Eustace! (nothing against him) Sorry if this is already a topic! any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 With Eustace in the side we were easily top four last season? It's not like Thorne came into an underperforming side and single handily dragged us to third, he was the icing on the cake not the cake. Thorne added a lot e.g. energy, pace and goals over Eustace but Eustace brings experience and knows the league inside-out. I'm sure if we do not get Thorne we will have other targets in the pipeline.

Hope we aim for top two next season though. I know we'd have targets but I know some people will know who is out there. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 If we didn't get Thorne I'd probably want another Eustace type. As good as Thorne is as a playmaker he makes the team lopsided because of the fullback having to stay back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Thorne is as a playmaker he makes the team lopsided because of the fullback having to stay back. I didn't get that at all. I thought Thorne was a lot more defensively minded than Eustace and would also play a lot deeper role, if needed. Eustace often reverted to the box-to-box midfielder he once was.

Eustace often reverted to the box-to-box midfielder he once was. When we were controlling the game and pinning the opposition in their final third you would often see Thorne further forward, looking to pick up the loose ball and sustain the pressure whereas you would quite often see Eustace just sit in front if the centre halves.

I'd argue the toss, but hey-ho. We conceded 10 goals in 12 games when Thorne was involved, and he had a lot more tackles, passes, interceptions..etc than Eustace. I do think Eustace was okay, but always had Thorne down as a lot more defensively minded and all-round a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantona Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'd be amazed but delighted to see Thorne in a Rams shirt this August - just cannot see it happening, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niram Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 i think he's quality but not having him wouldn't affect us that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 i think he's quality but not having him wouldn't affect us that much He's not integral to the squad in the same way Martin is but having him would be a huge bonus. After all, he's another player that could make the immediate step up to the Premier League in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 He's a good player and it would be great to have him. But with WBA not looking like selling (or quoting a ridiculous figure) then we need to move on. I have no doubt that we can find a player for that position within our budget and as effective as Thorne. Eustace will be a good rotation option.

Derbydave96 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I agree with those who have said coady, good option and would be able to get him on a permanent probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yeltsin Tejeda a young Costa Rican who is supposed to be a decent player. He is an out and out CDM. I have never seen him play but Steve could have a word with Paulo he might be worth a shot. He cant be as bad as Mauricio Solís can he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
