Dean Whitehead

[Brighton Boy]

Just tweeted by @northstandchat. Decent player with experience. Would take that

 

[Rod Marsh]

Agreed. Seems to fit all the criteria we need as an experienced defensive midfielder.

We need an experienced creative midfielder though.

 

[Rod Marsh]

We need a few players. Including centre midfielders like dean whitehead.

 

[Sheebo]

He's been playing last few games for Boro - wonder why they'd let him go? Also not seen a thread on Leon Best but the NSC Twitter also suggested we're in for him...

 

[severnside gull]

Play him as a right back maybe .........love Bruno and Calde but CH tends to build from a sold defensive position and we are pretty weak going backwards.
Alternatively maybe having one experienced holding player instead of two would allow more focus on releasing those who can get forward to better effect. If he signed I would think it relegates Holla to the bench at best.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'd take him. As people have been saying on here recently, we've missed a Hammond/Andrews type player and Whitehead fits that bill nicely. You need combative players in the squad and the current squad is lacking in that respect.

Not particularly excited by the prospect of Leon Best, mind.

Was it Dean Whitwhead who had a photo go viral of himself using money as toilet paper ? Or am I thinking of someone else ?

You're thinking of Liam Ridgewell

 

[trueblue]

Sounds decent. I'd hope we can do better than Best though.

Typo by Bozza - we are in fact after Dean White as Hughton's asst manager.

 

[Marshy]

We need an experienced creative midfielder though.

Not in my opinion....we already have JFC, Tex, Paddy, Solly and Stephens when fit that can play that role.

Where as defensive midfielders we have Holla and Ince... thats it really... as good a job as JFC made of it early season when Holla and Ince were out of favour

Its definately an experienced holding midfielder we need, along with a striker or 2

 

[BensGrandad]

If it releases Holla to get more forward as our attacking options are either young like March Tex etc injured like Stephens and Croft or poor quality like McCourt. Personally I would go for him and try to out McCourt to a a Div 1 side as he is the weakest link in the midfield and you are only as good as your weakest link, hence we are in a relegation position.

Dean Whitehead, is rather unkindly referred to as Dean Weirdhead in our household. He is the strangest looking bloke the club has ever been linked to, beating even that Conehead from Bristol, a few years back.

McCourt who essentially never features? If you are looking for weak links take a look at the players actually on the pitch first. Plenty of options there for the title

I see what you mean......

Agree, our midfield has been too weak this season. This has lead to us surrendering possession all too cheaply. A reliable anchor in midfield should free up the more creative players to do what they do best.

Indeed.

He's weird

 

[El Turi]

I'd rather we got some decent permanent signings in rather than overpaid loans who's best years are behind them (Whitehead and Best).
