Guy Demel

[Whitterz]

Rumoured to have had a medical today. Centre back released from West Ham last season.

 

[TSB]

He didn't go to France, then?

[Whitterz]

Obviously not ?

 

[TSB]

Double announcement with Craig Noone?

 

[albionite]

Was going to say seems to old, but bridge and Upson did ok.

 

[Whitterz]

He was a tad injury prone too.

 

[227 BHA]

It says he's a full back in that article - surely we don't need any more full backs?

 

[Rookie]

Is he not more of a right back

 

[SteveTheSeagull]

Yay for freebiees. They are free agents for a reason D:

An unusual approach to sorting out creative and goalscoring issues is to sign 3 defenders and a goalie

Think someone is on a fishing trip.

Start at the back stop conceeding goals and build from there. The route for all succesful clubs.

It's clear Hooton is a very negative manager and it showed at the tail end of the season...No entertainment again next season.

 

[El Sid]

Maybe a bit old but a player with international, PL and Bundesliga experience can't be too shabby.

 

[El Turi]

We already have 3 right backs over the age of 30 so may as well sign another.

Exactly, we conceded the 7th least amount of goals last season so that meant we finished . . . oh wait . . .that doesn't work! O.K. try this: I saw two brilliant defenses (Norwich and Bournemouth) in action at home vs the Albion (5th lowest scorers in the Championship last season) and they only conceded. . . . . er..... 6 . . . .whoops . . . Help me out here BG for it appears your outdated and antiquated dogma is BS unless you're Mourinho with a bunch of world class players!

 

[BensGrandad]

How many did we lose by 1 goal, I genuinely dont know, but had we not conceeded that we would have had more points.

We did that last season.

So NOW is the time to be building at the front!

That doesnt work eg Kevin Keegan and Newcastle and West Ham for many seasons and to an extent Tottenham over recent years.

Why did Man U not win the title it was not for lack of goals.

 

[Lurchy]

Certainly is and we already have three right backs over 30, so.... def need another experienced centre back, do hope they're under 30, otherwise might be a case of needing to recruit three centre backs next summer.
