Yeah apparently they tried for Maher who used to be their player before going to PSV, but are now close to signing Bel Hassani.
Did you see his goal at Reading? Huddlestone hit it and he ran on to it. Abel isn't slow. It always helps if a pass is well timed.
Mate if your determined to get your point across he has no pace (which i disagree....... try Blackburn away pretty sure he was played through the middle and rounded the keeper.....
Not saying he's slow Peter - he's got good pace (quicker than Rhodes) - just not enough to worry an average paced defender. I think we need a Marne, Gray, Long pace striker
Neither, he's over 6 foot tall, doesn't shirk the running, gets stuck in and gets forward a la Lampard (according to a few reports from Norway and Holland
I wanted Gray but that's not going to happen now. If we need a striker and a good striker becomes available we should consider seriously.
We've been linked with players abroad who were said to be quick - wouldn't be able to find it amongst these 400 pages. An undiscovered gem like Marne would be good!
I reckon Akpom might be back, which will send a lot of people on here into a frenzy, he's one of those players written off by some last season under Bruce who I reckon can do a job under Phelan
Huddlestone is more a 'keep things chugging along' kind of midfielder, that's why we need someone with pace and who can link up even more with the forwards.
