jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I honestly don't think Solano is an outstanding player any more. Great footballing brain on him and an excellent passer still but I think he shone in a poor side last season and despite the aforementioned footballing brain getting him out of bother at right-back he was horribly exposed at times there too. If we're going to be any good this season a bit-part role might be all he's good for. Cant agree with that. I think he will play a big part in his right sided midfield position, He`s one of the only players we have that can see a killer pass or unlock a defense, hit the target with free kicks and beat the first man on corners. As for being exposed, he was but he`s not a right back. Look how shit Zog,Duff etc did at LB. I thought Nobby did well all things considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySol 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 do u think we should sign baines though? or is there somone else u think fits the bill better. i can only think of shorey as the other possibility and hes a midget to which apparently isnt what sams lookin for.

I agree he did well at RB in the main btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 'Shone' probably was overstating it like. Shone at times though. A revelation in the right-back role as the Evening Chronicle probably printed at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobbySol 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 i had a look on fm lol but can anyone think of any other decent left backs other than baines or shorey?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 My point is we shouldnt be "making do" by playing people out of position or relying on the likes of Carr & Babayaro. We have been led to beleive money is available, BS knows what needs fixing so whats the hold up?. I would have taken both Baines and Young, both have prem experience,both are English and have points to prove. Sam got players in at Bolton when had had no money, now we have money (or so they say) we cant sign players. There is something that doesnt ring true about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 solano's only going to get slower and worse. happens to us all. he's not quick enough as an orthodox right winger but his vision, passing and movement meant he was our best option at right back last season.

Glen 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I know he wants height, but I'm going to fucking kick myself if Baines goes to the Mackems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34167 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thing is though, if he's decided Baines isn't good enough then it would be a bit Roeder-esque if we all of a sudden tried to sign him. I'd sooner he stuck to his guns and went with whatever other targets he has (he WILL have some, we just don't know who, which again is fine by me).

Aye, unlike Roeder I'm guessing that Allardyce has a list of potential targets longer than one player for each position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 331 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Allardyce never came out and said that Baines wasn't good enough or that he wasn't interested though, did he? It was an Anal Oliver article that sad he'd been ruled out because he was too short. Edited July 24, 2007 by The Mighty Hog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34167 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Aye it was Oliver, that's true. But given that there's been no movement despite him being in pretty advanced talks with the mackems suggests there might have been some truth to it.

Kid Dynamite 5889 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I reckon we have a bid provisionally accepted for riise if heinze moves to liverpool, and thats why we havent moved for any other left backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Sunderland in player rejects them shocker!! (From the beeb) Baines rejects Sunderland switch Baines has played 162 games for Wigan since his debut in 2002 Wigan have revealed that England Under-21 defender Leighton Baines has turned down a move to Sunderland. The 22-year-old had been given permission to open talks with Roy Keane, but Wigan's website says he will not move to the Stadium of Light. Everton are now being strongly linked with Merseyside-born Baines, with sources in the north-east confirming he would not be joining Sunderland. Baines has admitted that he wants to leave the JJB Stadium. The Black Cats had an offer rejected earlier this month but upped their bid and Baines was cleared to meet Keane. Baines, who has two years left on his Wigan contract but admitted he does not want a new deal, came through the youth ranks at the JJB Stadium. He has made 162 appearances for the Latics since his debut in 2002, helping the club rise through the divisions and into the Premier League. Sunderland's current left-back, Danny Collins, signed a new three-year contract on 20 July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
