Andy Monkhouse

[Gav1901]

Possible signing ? As we were linked with him in January and still need to fill our left wing position do you reckon Gus is still looking at him?

Read somewhere that Pool have got Bobson on trial this week so they can have him and we'll take Monkhouse thanks.

I think they've already had him on trial , not to sure though maybe this week.

Monkhouse would be a quality signing but got a feeling Gus is placing most of his left winger eggs in Lua Lua's basket, so to speak.

I'd rather have Lua-Lua.

He only has pace though.

Not only pace, that cross for Barnes against Saints was inch perfect

Thats one good cross out of about 20.

Lua Lua certainly has that "x factor" in that he scares defenders shitless and usually ends up by being marked by 2 players with a third not too far away as back up, which then frees space up for Bennett on the other side.

It proves that he CAN do it though.
With a bit of pre-season training he can improve

I agree with your other comment but it is true that he hasn't got an end product. Although i certainly would love to see him back at the club.

Exactly why we need him, and he will improve his delivery add to that a few goals and its happy days.

I think he will be a prem player one day.

Exactly.

Lua Lua season long loan with option to buy if we reach the Championship and the Geordies stay in the Prem?

He put in plenty of good crosses whilst he was with us, just because we only scored from one doesn't make it his fault.

Your soooo right. Probably get mullered for this, but fast and skillful though he undoubtedly is, his end result is often poor, and on occasion he even forgets to take the ball with him.

Given that IF we sign him, Monkhouse will be 'our' player, and Lua-Lua will only ever be with us on loan, l'd take the Monkhouse option.

Maybe we could get both of them....

If he had a consistent end product we'd have no chance of signing him.
Crossing, unlike lightning pace, is something that can be worked on and improved though.
