I wish you could name the new # right winger, instead of naming a new left back which we don't ACTUALLY NEED tonight Nicko, i am getting a bit worried that Ince is not going to purchase a right winger and just count on Reid/Emo which will be quite frankly sucidal.

Unless this mystery left-back is top notch, it makes no sense to sign him.

If we keep signing squaddies to back-up the squad, when will the likes of Olsson get a chance to stake a claim?

agree totally ok Ince wants to bring in some of his men. but we don't actually need a new left back and have other postions that need filling more as priority.

Could it just not be that Ince, has accessed Olsson, and believes he is not ready, or will never be in his opinion.

If that is the case, we do seem to lack cover at LB, unless you start playing players out of position, IE. Gamst which then has a knock on effect to the balance of the team.

Maybe Ince feels we could be under the cosh again for Warnock come January.

If we could get Pennant for between 4-5m, then I think it would be a good deal. I've seen him play quite a bit for Liverpool and think he's a decent player who would do well in a team like ours. He'd get regular football which I think would see him improve as a player.

IMO he'd be better value than SWP at 9m, who when I've seen him play tends to spend a lot of his time running without producing anything worthwhile

i do think a left back is needed for cover..incase warnock got an injury or was suspended i really wouldnt feel safe with olsson covering him-while he is a decent prospect someone wit experience is needed-thats why i wasnt against the idea of having koncheksy here..

I'm thinking completely opposition...if the left-back is top notch then that makes no sense as we already have one of those. I'd rather a cheap and cheerful purchase who will be happy to sit on the bench and put in the odd decent appearance when required to play.

I kind of agree with the final point, but maybe we can move Olsson out on loan if we get some experienced backup.

PENNANT, by the way, is still rated at £5.5 million by Liverpool. Are they having a laugh?

I'd be very happy with him for that price, I don't think he's any worse than Wright-Phillips or Lennon and better than Milner.

Liverpool paid £6.7 million for him and not many thought he was overpriced then. He's struggled to get in to Rafa's wingless-wonders side, but when he has played he's generally been impressive (Liverpool's MoM in the Champion's League final for example).

I'll be gutted if we don't sign a winger. In Grella we now have the seemingly perfect water-carrier player...he just needs someone to carry the water to. <_<

Tbh i reckon Ince has got wind of Warnock`s (alledged) flirting at Newcastle and maybe wants to get a left-back in who might be decent enough to replace him.As much as i think Warnock is the best left-back we have had since Graeme Le Saux,he is a bit too gung-ho when going forward.Gamst got a bit of a slating against Hull,but he did a hell of a lot of tracking back because Warnock was stranded further up the pitch.

I think if Ince got a left-back who was a bit more reserved going forward,then it would let Gamst concentrate more on his attacking game rather than having to help Warnock out.
