CM pairing......

[Hove Ranger]

Oooooo I am so sorry.. Maybe you want me to hold my hand up next time before posting... My god get a life fella

Apology accepted. You made a cringey dig at the fact he wasnt mentioned and i showed you the error of your ways. I have no problem with you posting without my permission, just dont agree with your snide remarks and will let you know whenever you make them

Cheers Swindon. From what I have seen of Gladwin he is certainly not the type I would want playing CM for us. Pleasing on the eye going forward but serious lacking in defence. Plus a lack of pace and fitness. Also based on your description of him previously, I would certainly say you would agree that he shouldnt play CM;

Yes I agree, he's definitely not good enough to play there for a team targeting promotion. Luongo though I think will be a regular.

I'd love to see Luongo and Diakite but I'm always gonna be nervous about the walking red card.
Ale is a star of a player in the ch'ship but dunno how much he'll feature. I see Gladwin as more of a wideman imo.

Dunno what's gonna happen to Sandro.

Maybe Henry as a bench player at best if he renews.

He is a running red card, I suggest you should give him that. His stamina is top notch.

[Awin]

He's not a CM. Swindon had luongo, kasim, rodgers as their main CMs and Gladwin played wide or behind the striker as he is more of a luxury player not a grafter. Maybe you should do more research before questioning others.....

Sandro and Faurlin

Sandro, Luongo and Faurlin. Rav behind the striker. Lovely

[Ramsgate Hoop]

If fit and eligible. Sandro starts in midfield. I really rate him. He's just made of glass.

Swindon fan here - just to clarify, Gladwin can do a job at CM, that's where he started off for us. Has a good range of passing, and can keep the ball moving/ set a tempo from CM. He just has little to no defensive capabilities, so can be a bit of luxury/ liability there when the team's under pressure. I expect he'll be given more of a free/ advanced role coming off the bench for you, though he can definitely fill in at CM if required.

"Ben Gladwin - I guarantee he'll be one of the oddest footballers you've ever seen.

Positives: He has the build of a centre-half, but his feet are fantastic; looks slow and languorous on first impression, but glides past players as if they weren't there. If he can isolate a player, he'll beat them 90% of the time. He has a great cross, and if he can cut inside, an absolute bullet of a shot that hits the target more often than not. His rate of progression since signing from non-league has been remarkable.

Negatives: Not great in the tackle or in the air, despite his size, and fitness must improve (he'll be outstanding one half, then start puffing and disappear in the next). His best performances have come from left wing, and I think his first season you'll chiefly use him off the bench. "

[Hove Ranger]

Do you think we will be looking to bring another cm in Hove? A more proven player with a bit of quality or you thinker got enough atm?

Yeah maybe, it just depends who of the big earners are left. I wouldnt say no to a proper physical presence in there with Luongo or Faurlin.

Sandro Phillips, Fer and Diakite

[Hove Ranger]

Still he played for Swindon as a CM

I missed him out because I thought he was a winger/wide player possibly part of a three if playing 4 2 3 1.

[Hove Ranger]

Seems like gladwin has already been forgotten then...

No, its just we are discussing CMs not attackers
