NewBlue Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) With Schmeltz seemingly out of favour at the moment, Montano never to play for us again and Petrasso going back to his parent club in January, other than Dayton, we're going to need a couple of new wingers. I was going to suggest Maghoma from Wednesday but he's been getting game-time since Jones has been sacked. We've got a good wage to give with Monty's wage off the book. Any ideas about who's available, perhaps on a free or potential loanees? Edited December 10, 2013 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oldham's player of the season last year should not have been released ....this inconsistent lot are not the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oldham's player of the season last year should not have been released ....this inconsistent lot are not the answer.

Mullet Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oldham's player of the season last year should not have been released ....this inconsistent lot are not the answer. He rejected the contract we offered him and now he's playing for St. Johnstones. Wasn't released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) It's a creative attacking central midfielder that's needed, but LJ doesn't seem to want one on the books. Edited December 10, 2013 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oldham's player of the season last year should not have been released ....this inconsistent lot are not the answer. Let's not get silly after a couple of lackluster displays. We have played some good stuff this season and results of recent have started to look up... 99.9% of last season was :censored:ing dross. It was the paint pot cup, move on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 He's a striker, not a creative central attacking midfielder. I think he fits into the attacking midfield role quite well. He's not an out and out striker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 He's a striker, not a creative central attacking midfielder. Do you not see him sitting in that role behind the strikers every game? Picking the ball up from deep, just in front of the holding midfielders Smith and Wes, and running at the defence from the 'hole', getting himself into goalscoring positions and opening the field for our strikers. Scoring goals doesn't make a player a striker, look at Lampard. JCH, MacDonald and Rooney are strikers. Philliskirk is an attacking, creative, goalscoring midfielder. A brilliant one for this level, at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Philliskirk, for me, was the best player on the field for Latics tonight. He's moved into the 'Baxter role' quite well...

Anyway If he's a midfielder why not play drop Wesolowki then and play 2 strikers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway If he's a midfielder why not play drop Wesolowki then and play 2 strikers ? We're on a 9 game unbeaten run, lost 2 in 16 and Wesolowski has been vital to that form. We don't need to drop anybody. If we dropped him you'd then complain that we're not letting the team settle. You'll not been convinced about LJ until we win the Champions League.

RobOAFC Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 But yeah, lets sign a attacking midfielder instead of a winger when Montano is suspended, Dayton injured, Petrasso only here for a month and Schemltz seemingly out of favour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Baxter Role I mean is playing a Centre attacking midfielder, which Philliskirk plays as. So, I think 'This Manager' is happy with the 'Baxter Role' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from tonight which their midfield won the battle... No one has complained as them two have been outstanding! one defeat and the whole 'Wes only passes sideways' comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has complained as them two have been outstanding! one defeat and the whole 'Wes only passes sideways' comes out If Wes is the answer it's a bloody stupid question! He has been letting the team down for bloody ages, not just tonight against a 4th division team. Some people see 100% endeavour as a good shift, but if you cannot use the ball when you win it then its wasted. And by the way I am not reacting to tonight I said ages ago when we had Wes and Furman that we would get nowhere with those 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no, then your point is invalid.. If yes, you've been watching the wrong wesolowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
