[Archived] Spearing OR Bannan

[tugayislegend]

Here is a good debate, would you have a tough tackling player like spearing who can also pass the ball or Bannan who is technically better, huge potential, but possible attitude problem....let's hear your opinions

[Gally]

Spearing looks the safer bet for me, clearly has the appetite for the division.

[Tom]

Either but most likely neither

I think Spearing may be a better player overall but Bannan is more in line with what we need, Williamson and Etuhu could both be decent in the holding role we just need each one fit half of the time which will probably never happen but even them we have Lowe and Marrow as cart horses just nobody that can pass the ball apart from Dunn who we won't get many games from

[JonnyBRFC]

Both.

[Hekla]

Spearing. Bannan is technically better but Spearing has more appetite for the game.

If i had to choose id take spearing

but id love our midfield top consist of both sign 1 loan the other?

We would probably need to buy both, because if Spearing was to go on loan it would surely be to Bolton again,

and it appears Villa want rid of Bannan altogether.

Would be a good midfield at this level, can't see it happening.

[Neal]

We need both.

[T.J.Newton]

Spearing by a mile (but only if he actually wants to come here and its not just a last resort)

Bannan might have decent ability going forward but he just seems like trouble to me.

[RussP]

....but neither want to come. Whilst both would improve us, I'd rather have players who give a sh1t & want to pull on that blue & white shirt. If their demands are too high or they'd (Spearing) rather play for Bolton, then let's move on & find someone else.

[Blue Cabbage]

Bannan as I think he could link midfield and attack, I feel we've already got a few of Spearings ilk, albeit, not as talented.

Am I making any sense?

Just to be clear...Spearing a definite no for me, doesn't want to come so let him rot in Liverpool reserves. Bannan, the jury's still out because he hasn't actually said he doesn't want to come - may be more his agent.

We'll see.

Agree 100%

Why can we not go for Bannan and Spearing? Especially if, as some are like to believe, Venkys have cash they are willing to use

[Blue Cabbage]

As is common theme these days, if so, they would be known as "Bannanaring" which frankly sounds awesome and terrifying at the same time.

[Black Burn]

I say neither, and will wait for the mystery CM Makey11 promised us.

[BlueMonday]

Due to the toxic reputation we have thanks to Venkys disasterous ownership, any half decent player will avoid us like the plague. We'll be left to pick from journeymen, damaged goods, and those of questionable motivation.

We used to be the kind of club a young Liverpool squad player thought would be a good move to further their career.

We've now dropped our interest in Bananna Man. Which actually means he wants paying a fortune to sully his reputation by coming to Roves.

Are you watching Venkys?

[Mani]

Can i just say that Spearing not wanting to come is just speculation at this time...he hasn't said that and this rumour was started by Nicko who's information is about as reliable as a hand brake on a canoe!!

Bannan by all accounts wants to come but there is a financial issue. We don't know what that is but I'm not sure why people are so upset with either player!

My take on them is that BOTH players would improve us and so until such time as one of them says they don't want us I'd take either or both gladly!!

[Gav]

Neither of them, bannan wants too much money and Spearing wants to go to Bolton.

Move on

[alexanders]

Neither of them, bannan wants too much money and Spearing wants to go to Bolton.

Move on

and we have.

David Davis !

Time to close this thread I think.

[Blue blood]

Why can we not go for Bannan and Spearing? Especially if, as some are like to believe, Venkys have cash they are willing to use

Because we don't have that cash.

Another question: without the benefit of hindsight come the close of the window with these 2 deals struggling would people rather:

a) have brought Jones - not as good, but a guaranteed body in who adds something to the team?

ignore Jones as we have, in the hope of getting better, and risk the chance of not adding anyone in to centre mid?
