Hughton: Summer search has started

[Yoda]

Long in the tooth now, but a class act. Scores goals and good at set pieces too. Ideally we want a young left back, but if we can't find one that's good enough (and there's no guarantee that we will; they don't exactly grow on trees), Harte might well be a decent shout for one season.

And he has a knack for helping clubs get promoted, Reading & Bournemouth.

This is the same man who according to soccerbase has played 4 league games, 3 Capital One Cup and 2 FA Cul games this season, no thanks. If we are to sign an oldie for 1 season I would sooner go for Paul Konchesky at least he has played 20 games for Leicester this season and been released.

I'd have a good look at the 7 players that B'muff have just released, Ian Harte could do a job for one.

He's never been able to defend.

This ! wasnt aware he had been released would be just the right guy to have

Sorry he is out of contract not released yet. Will they offer a 34 year old much?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

No we didn't. We had one central and two wider.

Really? I'll take your word for that seeing as I wasn't in the country for it! The Radio always painted it as two up top and a lopsided diamond in midfield.

Yep lets have 3 full backs well into their 30's with no pace to get up and down the wings and one center back at the ripe age of 34..

Rather a joke isn't it and the club have facked up big time as these are not good enough anymore...Surely hooton can realise this or is he stupid as well ?

 

[supaseagull]

Because two up top is boring, unimaginative and stone age hoof ball football?

That statement is completely flawed by the fact that football tactics change from year to year.

They change from minute to minute. I thought that was the upshot of Total Football, and the 1970's revolution...

I hope he's watching Chelsea under 21's. solanke would be perfect
