With the usual speculation, I see that Villa may want to offload Barclay. I thought that he was a different class when he played for Luton. I think that he could do well for us and bring something to a midfield that is pedestrian at best.

They are not creative though BT. If you go back and watch the game they dont want to pass forwards ( not a criticism of what they do )Originally posted by The Bedlington Terrier View PostWatch Ugochukwa and Florentino in action and they are anything but pedestrian.
They have a touch and move the ball sideways until it reaches Walker generally who has the intelligence to try and go forwards.
Im always watching our players / formations and how we play back to front and Ive noticed a few having a go at Walker and Hartman - I noticed they stopped playing the raking 50 yard pass on the diagonal as we are so negative that the runs have stopped - Walker has the ability as does Hartman but the runs that force the pass have stopped so it doesnt happen.

Florentino is struggling adapting to the speed of the Premier league he is a slow thinker and gets caught in possession.
Ugochukwa is only a kid and will improve, but at this present time doesn't offer enough and drifts out of the game
Both players will improve but unfortunately not at Burnley, they will both move on when we get relegated

He certainly could do a job for us, but I have read that Sunderland are after him

We already have Hannibal( in that mould) whois competent in that position and playing the creative pass.Originally posted by Swissclaret View PostWith the usual speculation, I see that Villa may want to offload Barclay.

What we need though is a way of playing where people make the runs to receive the pass - and also that others are willing to make the extra yards to back up team mates instead of watching and hoping they can create on there own.
Hannibal needs managing granted but so do the team by a different person with different ideas and a fit team imo Swiss.
I wouldnt say no to Barclay but who would he feed the ball to - everything needs to change

I dont think there will be a lot of movement because of our bloated squad.We need to offload half a dozen before any incomers will be considered.Cardy and the players have not really put themselves in the shop window with the first half of this season.Originally posted by sinkov View PostI think the ship has sailed for us and Barclay, a shame, absolutely made for clubs like us and Luton.
