So, rumour has it that we are now trying to pip Birmingham to the signing of Onecapchesky. If we were looking to rebuild the old Pardew team, he wouldn't be the first I would want to sign - Yossi and Zammo would top the list obviously - but he has to be a better bet for left back than Spector! But then Ilunga IS still at the club isn't he? And there's a kid by the name of Daprela in the squad too. Is a forward not the more pressing need?
I was always a big fan of Konch! He did ok for us and he's improved at Fulham under Woy too! If Ilunga is on his way, as is 'rumoured', then it's a no-brainer...get him back!
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget his long-range dipping top-spin cross-lob-shot in the 2006 Final...and neither will Reyna!!
I don't mind Konch myself but it is the right wing that we really need to fix.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean that you have little confidence in our marauding French wing-back, Julie-Ann Faux Bear then Sav?? Personally, I'd get a decent right back in then play JF right midfield with a licence to advance! All we need then is to teach him how to keep the ball IN the ground!!
ReplyDeleteOur whole season depends on it in my opinion. Leave the door open on the right and we are totally screwed! Faubert is not a right back, never was and never will be. He may be good going forward but he is a liability in his defensive duties. In fact, I actually think we need two good right backs, not just one.
ReplyDeleteDon't need him and if we did go in for a left back I'd rather go Belhadj.
ReplyDeleteI think the retaining of Boa gives us the option of playing Behrami right back. I think this is the only way he will fit in the side in my opinion with Hitzl and Parker. It is strange though that Faubert keeps stating his preferred position is right back. Maybe he is more comfortable with the overlapping between him and the right winger scenario rather than having to provide as a right winger. The defensive right side should be more of a priority than the attacking though.
"Is a forward not the more pressing need?"
ReplyDeleteNo, sorting the defence should be priority. We need 2 strikers as well but poor defending was our big problem last season and Upson might be going.
Konch aint a replacement for Upson is he?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good move to me and with the Hitzelburger signing demonstrates an understanding that you start with solidity.
ReplyDeleteThis will entice better strikers to give us some consideration in my view
My brother Adam Jackson is going out with Konchs Sister Laura Konchesky. Shes a lovely girl and they are getting married next year. The whole family are mad hammers fans but Paul is very very happy at Fulham so cant see this happening.
ReplyDeleteI hope for Adam's sake that Laura is better looking than her brother!
ReplyDeleteyou honestly believe a forward is more important than a left-back? If we don't start signing defenders i'll become very nervous.
ReplyDeleteWe have two left backs - Ilunga and Daprela. We need an experienced centre back though and a right back!
