If it was realisitic...

Would you approve us paying for Artell back in january?

[marky]

No

[P/T Indie]

Only to play him up front

Crewe wouldn't sell him as he is one of their best players, captain and on a 2 year deal.

Was meant to reply to CC's thread about Crewe's strikers going out on loan they prob don't get a look in cos Artell is scoring all the time

[heysham_mfc]

No

[rickster]

yes more solid then what we got at the moment apart from parrish. he also can score goals he scores nearly a goal every other game.

Difficult one that.

I wish we had retained him but we didn't.

I think McCready and Parrish are better and more mobile defenders but neither are likely to weigh in with 9 goals at the other end. Hopefully they will prevent more goals than Arts may have scored so on the balance probably no.

Our main problem in defence is finding a fast strong tough-tackling right back who can overlap and deliver good crosses. Now if Yates was available........

Interesting, I always thought he was pretty solid at the back as well. Mainly his distribution skills people moaned about.
Personally the answer to my question is yes, obviously not a lot of money but i'd have him back in a heart beat.

Yes and play him alongside McCready and move Parrish to right back.

[George Dawes]

i would have him back but no i wouldn't pay for him.

[George Dawes]

if it was realistic would you have Rene Howe back ?

i would.

[Christies Child]

Most definaely NOT.

Good for clearing into Row Z but otherwise his distribution was awful.

ALL money available should be spent on bringing in a hungry striker or even somebody on loan from a Premiership club such as Everton....

Funny how everyone has said no, but in previous posts have sung his praises and said they want him back?

Just for his sheer aerial presence I would say YES.

but would you pay a transfer fee for him?

when we have little money as it is and desperately need to attract a quality all-round striker what can both use his feet and head and run with the ball unlike what we have now ?

Didn't read the initial post properly. As cc said. If we do have any money, it should be spent on a striker.

Top of the list has to be a striker, I wouldn't be surprised if one comes in on loan..maybe from a north west Liverpudlian club??

[Bare Ben]

I think its well known that we are bringing in a striker on loan from a blue shirted premier league team who play at Goodison Park and are nicknamed the Toffees, but I can't confirm anything. I'm positively unsure, adamantly confused. Either it will happen or it won't, but it definitely will. YW

No chance, our central defenders are good enough, we need a right back

Nor would I approve having Ronaldo Howe back

Bring on the toffee nosed redeemer

[ezz]

Moose would score more than any striker we sign anyway

[seasonsinthesun]

Can anyone offer a reason why a specialist right full back is allowed to leave which means we are left with a midfield player playing right back or a centre back playing right back?
Totally mystifying.

This would not happen with a proper Manager in charge. !

[Morectalk]

Rene Howe was very good when he could be arsed - the goal against Bradford for example. Problem was, he didn't do that sort of thing too often.

Darren Moss is worse at right back that Garry Hunter or Andy Parrish.
