Guest blacktreacle Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just wondered if anyone agrees we need to offer Loovens and Onyewu contracts now or risk loosing two top defenders in summer. Both have great experience and I've been impressed with them. If we don't keep them there will be a lot of other clubs sniffing around I reckon. Potential for a Loovens/Onyewu partnership at the back that I think would be one of the best in championship next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambs Owl Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yes - along with Hutchinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yes, I'd like all three. No idea what our chances are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blacktreacle Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yes been really impressed with Sam Hutchinson so far, although he's down as a defender and we've been playing him in midfield. He reads the game well, can pass and he gets stuck in which is good to see. He's 24 and only played 20 games his whole career, so I'm sure he'd be desperate to get some first team games under his belt and he doesn't stand a chance at chelski. I'd love us to go out and sign him in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would probably offer Loovens a one year contract but im not sure about Onyewu, does look a very good player but his injury record concerns me, possibly a 6 month contract if he would except it.

mosleyowl Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 With that interview from Onyewu the other day it sounds like he's gone in the summer. Decent chance of Loovens though I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 To be honest there's a few players in the squad we need to make it a priority to re-sign. That should be a priority even more than bringing new players in should be. It'd be nice to get that sorted before the seasons end too so that we aren't scratching our heads wondering where the spine of our team is going as soon as the final whistle blows. Especially with Onyewu. If he goes to the World Cup and has a decent game or two for the US then we've no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yes - along with Hutchinson Good player and I'd like him here but I'd wait and see. If he makes it to the end of the season relatively unscathed, sign him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Regardless of which of Loovens or Onyewu we sign it has got to be Loovens and Llera tonight, our Spanish mad dog has a few good fights left in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt it will be. If Onyewu went off with a tight Achilles, I'd be surprised to see him involved tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoz Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Its amazing to think that Hutchinson retired a couple of years ago, he looks quality what I've seen of him so far and loves a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Dinho Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 People always think that the club can click their fingers and players jump. All players will wait until the summer to see what other offers are out they - they dont have the love for the club that we do, for most of them its just business and rightly so.

Prendo's boots Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Its amazing to think that Hutchinson retired a couple of years ago, he looks quality what I've seen of him so far and loves a tackle. He certainly does but when you read what pain he's in all the time and his recovery rate makes you wonder how long he'll be able to cope...

POWP Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'd sign Loovens up now. Onyewu needs a few more games to prove himself and to allow us to judge his injuries etc. either way, we just can't leave it till late on again... I've no idea what the tactics are with that, whether it's a paperwork thing to avoid wage increases for as long as possible, but it just comes across as a little disrespectful to the players.

swfcGibbo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 For me Loovens is one of the best defenders we've had in a while. Such a calming influence. Quality, cultured defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed His natural "Dutchness" means he can almost get a bit too relaxed at times but he's been brilliant since he came in, goes to show that just because somebody is a free agent, doesn't mean they've nothing to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We should also sign Loveins and Oninonineyu; according to Carlton Palmer they're both reyt players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
