Ah, the old "we need experience" argument. Just like when some insisted after Parky was sacked we needed an experienced manager.
We need good players with the right attitude that can fit into our team. Doesn't matter if they are loans, frees, old, young, English, foreign, ex Palace or only 5 ft 3.
Powell's got most signings right so far, I'll trust him on this. Pleased we've signed a CM, one of the weakest areas in the team.
They probably won't lend us Toure, so he'll have to do....
Seriously, have you seen the quality of player that Citeh are willing to let go? If they think it is worth keeping onto Razak, then I can't wait to see him in a CAFC shirt.
Just hope a striker will be arriving hot on his heels. Hulse sounds like an ideal solution.
Thought Danny Hollands did very well today, but this news will ruin his evening. Abdul Razzaq is a genuine all rounder and Razzak is too - it looks as if he can hold AND play!!
I guess much depends on how Chris Powell wants to set up. Jackson played in front of Stephens/Hollands today in a 4-4-1-1 and did well despite not being a natural schemer/no 10, especially during the first half when his running helped the press that stopped Blackburn getting into their rhythm.
If the approach is the same on Tuesday I'd bet on Pritchard playing - he also did OK - because I understand that Razak plays deeper. It's more likely, I think, that Razak will eventually replace Hollands, in either a 4-5-1 or a classic 4-4-2, but I'd bet Hollands won't get dropped for Tuesday after his contribution today.
If Powell wants to continue with today's system (probably with Fuller the lone striker) he'll need to find a genuine play maker. Could Jordan Cook do that job or will we see another loan signing?
He's young and hungry and clearly has skill if he's playing international football at 19. I wonder if he'll play the holding role like Hughes did last season and this will let Hollands roam forwards, or will he replace Hollands?
He should be good and I hope we see him on Tuesday.

Then there's the Ryder Cup of course......
Laughable.

The kind of player that, with the ight club, might end up being a star in the championship and will kick off he's career.
