Wayne Bridge

Barry Silkman certainly does sound a tosser, but lets hope he is right on this issue.

 

Pretty apt, considering we're trying to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

As people have said above, Wayne Bridge of a couple of seasons would have been a decent acquisition but he has had far too many injuries since. I'd be happy to settle with Finnan and Arbeloa/Aurelio as our full backs for now and strengthen other areas.

hes gone down hill - use what we have and get insua out on loan to get some experiance for next year

Exactly. Arbeloa and Aurelio should be good enough to cover that position and if Insua is the real deal, then he needs to be loaned out like Guthrie has to get some much needed experience.

I still think the answer is 3-5-2 with Finnan and Fab or Riise as wing backs is the best option when all are fit....but Rafa will never play it. Thats the way we get more fluid attacking football.

 

Effectively all of our 'first choice' full backs are wing backs...Riise is neither fish nor fowl and to an extent so is Fabio. When Finnan came he couldn't mark a lamppost but has improved significantly, but Albert raiding down the right in a 3-5-2 looks attractive to me.

 

This formation also gives us proper options in Midfield and we can use Carra and Sami as markers and Danny can step into midfield and bring the ball out and start moves from the back like Hansen used to for us.

 

Thats my take on things....sometimes you have to try a system to get the best out of the personnel, rather than the other way round....like I said....never going to happen though and I'm sure most will disagree with me.

Personally, I've didn't rate him even before his injury problems. Every time he plays against a decent winger he gets found out and I'd be majorly pissed off if we spent 6 million on him.

[Jonte]

Finnan and Aurelio was our best players yesterday.

[Gumsy]

Paying £6M for Bridge would be utter madness!

 

First og all we don't need him as he's no improvement on Aurelio or Insua (I'd much rather give him a shot in the team). But more importantly we need to use any available money to strengthen our weakest positions (2 wingers, a striker and a backup centre back), not on an average left back! :wallbutt:

[Glen C]

Bridge is shit and isn't even worth £6 let alone £6m.

[keysaint]

i think this rumour is a load of bollox...please let it be a load of bollox.

[Red Mist]

Rafa must be losing the plot if he seriously wants to sign that piece of crap. I prefer Riise and Aurelio easily.

[Thants]

It's a Bridge too far.

[kop]

£6m for him is outrageous. If we can't do better than him on LB then I rather ease Insua into the team with 5-10 games for the rest of the season. Bridge isn't even better than Cole. Riise is never injured and a good LB so why should we sell him to buy Bridge?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

The only left back we should be trying to sign is Philip Lahm.

[moxter]

It's a Bridge too far.

 

He's always had a problem with suspension.

Indeed.

 

We can do without adding another Mr. Joe Average to the squad when funds are tight.
