Fane was brilliant and doing the one thing he was there for, winning the ball back and giving it to someone more creative. Have him back in a heartbeat Him and Byrne were perfect - gangly and unwieldy wins it - passes it 2 yards to the footballer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would you want Fane or Sylla anywhere near the team ? Effectively playing with 10 men. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively playing with 10 men. Both are better than at least 7 in this team Id agree if we’re we speaking of a midfield of Wellens, McDonald or even Whitaker late 2000’s we aren’t though Edited May 10, 2021 by Chaddyexile84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Fane or Sylla would provide the "muscle" necessary to bolster our lightweight midfield, sitting in front of the back 3/4, winning he ball and giving it to someone who can pass. They'd certainly be an upgrade of Ntambwe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Maouche and Missilou (not listed by the original poster). Maybe Emmerson will, if you include youth. Of those above, you would say Moimbe briefly playing MLS may have been a step up. I'd assume leage 2 in France might be of a higher standard, so Obadeyi might count too. Obviously our marquee loan signing Mr Menig is back in the top Dutch league as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't because there was always a banished senior player or two there...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen you play but I assume you're just saying that for effect. Neither were particular favourites of mine but I'm sure they would improve our midfield as it stands (stood).

I cannot think of another player in recent Latics’ history who fails so often to bring the ball under control when played into him.
