i saw united fans wanking themselves silly on another forum saying shit like henriquez will start every game. kone and di santo are better. will get games purely because he's an unknown quality. i presume he's fast.

we have some japanese lad on trial with us for a few days. won asian player of the year or something, can't remember his name though. im convinced we'll sign someone, and i convinced someone will go. bobby ruled out lescott, which makes sense with kolokolokolokolokolokolokolotoure going to africa. carvalho does peak my interest as a CORPORATE VIEIRA-esque signing.

Lescott's probably off in the summer anyway. Carvalho's probably totally useless now. When was the last time he even played for Madrid? Barely makes the bench these days. Lack of pace will kill him if you brought him in and played him.

Utd fans tend to embarrass the rest of us a lot tbf. Admittedly I've seen nothing of Henriquez but I'd be shocked if Wigan give him much game time. Kone's on top form and Martinez thinks Di Santo is bees knees. Good experience though and he's more likely to get some game time there from the bench. Would prefer Powell to be going a Premier League team though.

Henriquez will get games I'm sure. Maybe not 90 minutes every week but even regular use as an impact substitute would be pretty ideal. He's a real talent.

Reading some Wigan forums and they reckon they will be very short of strikers, Kone is going to the african cup of nations, and they are saying di santo wants away. Dont expect Henriquez to start every game but he should making regular sub appearances and the odd start. Hopefully he can make a good impression when Kone is away

"Reading sign Sporting Lisbon captain Daniel Carrico"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20879287

That is a damn good buy for £600,000.

I so hope we get the creative midfielder and/or striker we desperately need. We need to push on if we want to keep challenging for the top four spot this season, fresh faces are needed. Unlike last season when we brought in fucking Ryan Nelsen and Louis Saha, good riddance Harry Redknapp and your bullshit links.

**Joel** · 12-31-2012, 01:56 PM

Where does the creative midfielder fit into the Dembele/Sandro combination?

Imagine if you kept VDV and had those two behind him

Cookie Monster · 12-31-2012, 02:00 PM

Would of been awesome. If Sigurdsson showed his Swansea form and indeed his Hoffenheim before the previous, he'd be brilliant playing in front of Dembele/Sandro and off of either Defoe or an inform Adebayor. He's getting better and better though.

Well if we get that creative midfielder (Moutinho for example, we can dream). I imagine we'd put him next to Sandro and push Dembele up more to cause more havoc as he'd be given more freedom up there, could always just parnter Dembele with Sandro and then have Sandro just sit infront of the defence (at the moment he's bombing forward etc) I imagine AVB knows what he wants and he obviously is pushing 4-3-3 as it is his favoured formation. I do think that midfield 3 has a LOT of potential though.

Bale - Defoe - Lennon
Dembele
Moutinho - Sandro

or

Bale - Defoe - Lennon
Dembele - Moutinho
Sandro

I think that would be an all out goalscorer away for a team contending higher than fourth place. Of course over time we'll start to replace Lennon for a goalscoring wide forward (which is why I imagine we were after Willian in the summer)

Is Scott Parker dead? Wouldn't mind taking him off your hands for the low, low price of nothing.
