[Archived] Ideal Midfielder for Rovers

[beerwins]

Can I be greedy and have two? From this seasons evidence Jack Wilshire and Scott Parker.

Perfect, those two players both have the essentials we lack, heart and creativity in the middle.

[Andy3809]

So many players around that could improve us in the middle of the park. If Wolves go down I'd like us to have a look at Milijas. Quite underrated in my opinion due to playing in a poor Wolves team. Creative on the ball and looks to get involved at both ends. Would come to Blackburn in a heartbeat as well.

Also I'm not sure if he signed for Arsenal in Jan but if not I'd be looking to break the bank for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Southampton. £10 million would get him and I'm sure he's going to be a top top player. Fits our new strategy of buying potentially top players. Comes at a cost but he's always going to be worth at least what we'd pay for him and wages wouldn't be massive. Depends how much money is going to be available?

[chaddyrovers]

David Vaughan from blackpool or David Jones from Wolves would increase our midfield quality. Both can pass a ball and can play good through ball. Only Hoilett and Dunn can in our current sqaud, maybe Pedersen has aswell but that's it!!!

An article on the Fansfc.com website saying that we are after SWP and are likely to sign him on a free transfer in the summer. Him and Hoilett on the wings I think would be good.

Two of whatever this man is drinking please.

Listening to the ITV commentary on the Man. United game, I'm getting more convinced about Darren Gibson for us in midfield.

[MeanGreenMachine]

Realistically? Jamie O'Hara has abit of everything, quality player. Wouldn't mind Gibson alongside him, he is going to be a poor mans frank lampard imo. Both are at a decent age too. For a wide man, id love us to bring in Matt Jarvis at Wolves, quality player.

Hoilett O'Hara Gibson Jarvis (both wide men can play either wing)

pretty exciting to me.

[OJRovers]

Iniesta

what's £100m between friends!

[Mafioso]

Would clint dempsey be considered realistic ? Him or maybe Jordan Hendersen to add abit more creativity as long as we have a DM such as J. Jones/P. Jones/Nzonzi playing infront of the back 4.

[Iceman]

Landon Donovan

[chaddyrovers]

Landon Donovan

would be a great signing for us

[Hughesy]

Without the ‘n0b-head’ behaviour – Joey Barton & also Bentley on the form in which he left us.

[LeChuck]

I said in the build up to the Venky's takeover that Jamie O'Hara would be the first player on my shopping list.

I was talked out of that by people who said his back injury was serious and he had attitude issues though. However, from I've seen of his Wolves career so far he still looks the perfect midfielder for us.

[AHoyle90]

O'Hara, Gibson, Donovan are all good shouts, Donovan can play up front as well.

Gibson is probably not United level, but he can spot a pass and has good intelligence, gets around the park, which would vastly improve our current situation.

I've liked O'Hara ever since his stint on loan at Portsmouth, very tidy player, again intelligent and uses the ball well.

I like David Vaughan from Blackpool, but for him to play in a midfield 2 you'd need a good tackler in there with him to balance it.

[Majiball]

Marek Hamsik - if monies no option.

I love O'Haraq, he drives a game, we havent a player like that, having said that, we need to see Formica and if he is good, get the correct balance around him!!

Vaughan has coped pretty well this season, quite underated!

[brfcmad1979]

I love O'Haraq

Ah the moroccan genius with Irish heritage!

[greco]

a "realistic target<".. hmm thats quite tough, as we dont know the avalability of players. Perhaps krancjr

unrealistic targets, im going to choose essein, by far the ebst all round player in the world. He really is class in every aspect of the gme

Essein would top your wet dream midfield list?

Surely you could aim higher.

[RoversSG]

Since we already got Formica, I say we need someone who can tackle and distribute the ball well. Preferably if he's a box to box type too so I'll go for someone like Annan. Pity he just went to schalke so I think the next best option would be someone like O Hara.

[Steve Moss]

I'm somewhat prejudiced, but I would like to suggest:

Benny Feilhaber

Sacha Kljestan

Dax McCarty

Jose Fransisco Torres

If I were being more opened minded:

Mehmet Topal

Ever Banega

Sifiane Feghouli

Gelson Fernandes

[Roverite28]

My biggest problem with that is, none are english, let alone British.

If you're out for 6 months with a back injury I'd say that was a serious injury. That's what put me off, I've no doubts about his ability. I don't know about his attitude but not many footballers attitudes fill me with respect. Wolves took a gamble and it looks like it's paid off at the moment.

Come on, Steve. Admit it. You've made those names up.

Footballers?? Never heard of 'em.

I must be getting old.

Come on, expand your horizons. I watch English football before all others despite my uber-American nationalistic tendencies.

You're right. You're getting old.

It's actually a mix of young American midfielders who might fit the bill (first group) and others (mostly Valencia as they are broke and would be tempted to sell if decent offers game in).

I really think we missed the boat on Holden. He's doing well in Bolton. And I fear we missed another boat with Michael Bradley to Villa. But Venkys can make it up to me by signing the marquee quality of Landon Donovan.

[Veevs]

Here is a player I think Blackburn should sign... not seen him named yet but would be pretty shiny and actually a very big name in terms of a marquee if Venkys want too be known in Brazil...

Darío Conca.. suprised I had not heard of him, apparently he is the biggest up and coming name in Brazil atm (accorind too my ex who is in Rio and her friends).. even though he is from argentina.
