Mbia and Granero

[Brian Wilson]

Mbia would be perfect for Stoke, dirty and a cheat - Cmon Mark, you know it makes sense, sign him up!

[OneEyedWilly]

Put the breaks on fella. We played a league two side. If they couldn't shine tonight then they never will!

Be interesting to see how they play on a cold Tuesday night up north!

Are tuesdays colder than any other day up north? Ive read exactly the same before from a few others. I always thought the temprature was pretty independant of what day of the week it happens to be.

I was just thinking this. I mean why not say "Can they cope with the rigours of championship football?" Also we only have 2 tuesday night matches up north next season, so if thats the only 2 games they dont play well in, we could have a promising season ahead!!

[QPRDave]

I know, I'm risking the wrath of many on here...

But I thought Mbia was excellent tonight, and Granero was very good.




Tin hat well and truly donned.

I thought so too

Wigan in October
Derby in February
Blackburn in April

M'bia plays like a four year old kid with clown shoes on and Granero has the reaction time of an oil tanker.

[brightonr]

Granero has looked a bit more feisty this pre-season, which is how he'll need to be in the Championship. I'd like to see him play slightly further forward where he has the license to be more creative

I'd like to see him play a little further on the left.

Like Swansea.

Mbia was excellent, and Granero was lunging in which is excellent to see

or Plymouth

neither is worth even close to what they are paid but for granero - where is he going to play?

2 strikers, so 4 in midfield, so there is no #10 position available, he is not a defender, so there are 4 midfield slots possibly available for him, chances of him not hacking it in a 2 man championship CM are slim to none, so all that is left is LM or RM in games where CM is strong enough to not need cover from one of their flanks.

unfortunately cant see anyone matching his current deal after last season. so i guess might see him at LM in some home games particularly against weaker opposition.

i'd agree if I could understand that

agreed.......far too many clichés or playing too much football manager or whatever the kids play nowadays!!
Another know it all, wannabe manager!!

[rickyranger]

Just a general question but do some on here only watch Rangers games and then with blinkers on.

Do you honestly think that any player that plays for a professional side hasn't been watched and assessed by hundreds of coaches since they started. Football is a team game and successful teams have that, a balanced and well constructed team made up of good players who complement each other. Both Granero and Mbia are good players but need to be played in the right positions and with the right players.

Can see M'bia staying

His interview on player suggested he was

Was talking about looking forward to the start of he season next week
