Parsnip Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 That's a relief. Just one player needed in January then - one very expensive attacking midfielder with the ability to play any of the three forward positions behind the striker and scores goals from nowhere. On a permanent, £10m+ please. Foreign. Proper foreign though - not Welsh or Polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fact that he pushed Huddlestone into defence when Thorne came on was a pretty clear message that the battle for midfield places is between the two of them - wouldn't be surprised to see Thorne start there on Saturday....

jono Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 He played very well last night. Reads the game, rarely wastes a pass. Strong and surprisingly nimble at times. Very pleased about this good all round midfielder. Thing is, he can play alongside any of our other mids and do well, he isn't a "Ledley has to play with X or Ledley can't play AM, or Ledley is no use on the right" ......... He's proper team cement.

Maybe Tom was coached this way too. I think the onus is on his team mates to tell him if he has time to turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
