We must sign Adam Barrett tomorrow!

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Brown probably doesn't want AB back as he see's him a ready made replacement ie. caretaker or player/manager should the axe fall

With no disrespect to Adam, I really don't think PB has anything to fear from that quarter..........not Uncle Ron's style. Paul Sturrock, Phil Brown, Adam Barrett?.......naaaahh :nope: Plus the fact, his Christian name doesn't start with P! :winking:

 

[tottenham541]

Although Barrett was typically all action at both ends of the pitch, I was more impressed by his defensive partner Jake Goodman.

yep I'd go for that, goodman looked good at back and would be a much better signing to play now and for years ahead, although Barrett had a good game a lot of this was down to goodman who looks to have a good head on his shoulders, definatley the better option:thumbsup:

 

[united we stand]

The only objective measure is how many goals we conceded- this tells a different story. To say you can't recall when we last had such a poor back 4 it seems to me at odds with reality but tbh I don't know if your memory goes back weeks, days, months, years or decades :smile:

're my last post for rational on my view . Please feel free to, name a back 4 that played together regularly from the last 10 years that you feel is inferior to the current back 4 that you would not swap for the current back 4

Would take Akinfenwa too - caused Skrtel problems all game

I could cause Skrtel problems, in my opinion one of the worst CB's in the prem

 

[Grayson]

Would have thought if Barrett came back he would probably sign on a perm contract. Clearly not wanted by Gillingham. As others have said he is southend through and through, still lives in the area etc. would like Tubbs as well but doubt we will get him. Would be surprised if he didn't stay at Wimbledon for the season now, unless he can't. One thing that impressed me tonight was, that Wimbledon didn't sit back, where they could they pushed forward and showed liverpool no respect. I can't imagne us playing that way under brown in a similar situation

Like we did when we beat Millwall 4-1, you mean?

 

[ryansm05]

Langmead just realeased by Northampton. Would provide good cover perhaps?

No thanks. It's not cover we need, we need someone to come in and be first choice.

Sankofa
Herd
Barrett
Baldwin

Only Barrett of that 4 would get in the current side

10/8/2010
Simpson
Barker
Coughlan
Prosser

I am not sure Simpson would get in the side as a RB these days and the Prosser of 2010 was awful, particularly at Left back

Later that season we had Clohessey at RB, who is better than White, alongside Barker, Coughlan (or Phillips ) and Gilbert

No he isn't.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

No he isn't.

He was certainly better going forward.But not better defensively than White.

did either of those two line ups play together regularly (which is what I stated in my question)? The fact that you have mentioned two line ups from the same year have totally different players in them, and then gone on to mention a third line up with 3 out of 4 different players in it (so 11 different players in total for four positions !) tends to suggest that these where not 'regular line ups or our 1st choice line up.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Ian Sharps is another option, transfer listed by Burton. Would give us the experience and leadership that we're lacking at the back.

 

[Big Bad Barry Corr]

I can tell you ！

You don't think Barrett, with all his experience would be a good addition as a squad member till the end of the season? Oh well... :stunned:

 

[southend4ever]

Love Adam Barrett.

 

[londonblue]

The problem is, every day I read this we still need to sign him tomorrow. What happens when the transfer window is closed?

And two different seasons with two different managers....

You said you could not recall a worse back 4 , I can , and don't get me on the likes of Hatter , Lampard etc when recalling crap defenders...

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

To my mind the problem is why does nothing happen for us when the transfer window opens? the shortfalls n the squad have been widely talked about for months, by PB & Co as well us on SZ, yet nothing much has happened; the date of the open window is well known or does PB/RM not prepare for it?

And no news on Dan going is good news!:happy:

Chris Ramsey....:omg:

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Said that bout sharps on another thread, I would have him.

 

[meerkat54]

Wages likely to be in our league, but not the pie consumption. Wages + pies = too expensive !
