Guest wilyfox Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Good player. I'd have welcomed our interest in him a couple of years ago, but doesn't sound the force he once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 16 hours ago, WalthamOwl said: Also in the last 4 seasons in the league he has played 14,9,15 and 17 games. You sure? Transfermarkt has the following:- 14/15 21 PL and 18 Championship 15/16 21 PL 16/17 23 Championship Looks like 16/17 was the only season he had a long injury. Muscle fibres, whatever they are? The man has been class, and given that he scored 6 in 23 for Norwich and played 90 minutes every game when fit suggests he still has what it takes.

Swiss Toni Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I think I'd rather we take a younger hungrier player on loan from a PL club than bring in someone over 30 potentially looking for a pay day who has nothing to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 After two failed attempts I would expect Carlos to have learned his blueprint for taking players who have gone off the boil, Mcmanaman, Buckley hasn't really worked Got to bring in tried and tested players to replace current aging first teamers No room for error this time, These players have failed twice Bringing in players to sit on the bench won't be tolerated this time Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Similar could be said for Fletcher at Sunderland and Wallace at Burnley too. Would be happy with Dorrans if intended to replace Abdi. It's not worked for him here. Still want a pacey winger though, wherever Carlos might deploy Dorrans - if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think tank Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Not what we need, really hope this doesn't happen. Recruitment needs to be more focussed on what the team actually needs this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 We will get an idea of what to expect when the players return to training If we sign any of the 6 out of contract players, then I fear we will fail We should be looking at replacing players like Semedo and Sasso with players who will force their way into the team The old rule applies, you're only as good as your weakest link I love Semedo and hope we keep him on the staff, but not as a player, we need much better to move forward as a club Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Bluesteel Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Dorrans' six goals last season suggests he still has something. But if he's keen on a return to Rangers that suggests to me he's looking at the run in in his career now and to tick that box. Others like Hooper, Bannan, Fletcher have come here with points to prove. I think he would probably fit into our patient style quite well but it just seems like another player with similar attributes to everyone else we've signed or tried to sign, such as Mark Davies. We need to break the mould (or have the option to) so I'd be a bit frustrated if it looked like we weren't learning our lesson and adding some intensity/physicality into midfield. Having said that, this is the Daily Mail, presumably Dorrans will be Pardew's first signing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
