    well worth keeping him then but whether he'd want to be a 3rd/4th choice I'm not so sure

    I'd like to see either Llera or Doc play next to a pacy cnetre half - it would mitigate their biggest weakness IMO. Llera does pose a real threat at set pieces and Doc didn't last year but has done previously in his career.

    Think that's it in a nutshell - Powell has marked his card so he must know he won't feature this season 

    If guys who had ok seasons are being replaced then the guys who were just plain average are well and truly stuffed

    How many mistakes did Llera make in the final 10 games or so that he played for us? I can't remember any glaring mistakes, and he has a good left peg and can head a ball better than anyone in recent memory too (Sam Sodje was good but misjudged more than Llera)

    I would sign him up and have him as our first choice of backup, behind a beast and a pacy centre back
  • So DVDDD, if they are letting The Doc go, and Llera, Dailey and Forch are out of contract, have you any news (apologies if I have missed it elsewhere) on any CB's coming in?


    Nope haven't heard anything at all .

    Anyway who needs CBs when we have 7 in midfield

    Is Phil Chapple still about?  :P
  • The thing is with Llera, he would get played then dropped and wouldn't get a look in for god knows how long then expected to go straight back in without any competitive football under his belt. As someone said, he didnt do too bad toward end of season and also remember the first games of the 09/10 season when we went unbeaten!

    Perhaps moving Jose into a CB position and re-sign him, keep Llera and get 2 really pacey new signings?

    "Zippin' up my boots

    Going back to my roots, yeah

    To the place of my birth

    Back down to earth"

    Applies to his hair and the fact he's returned to his boyhood club.

    Any one thinking that perhaps we might be shaping up to a diamond formation mid-field with only one CB with two Alonso/(one other), sitting just in front?

    Also be happy if Llera stays - better than many appear to believe.

    More importantly, absolutely delighted by the double signing. Can't pretend to know much about Stephens but he sounds exciting. I do know about Green though, and have rated him every time I've seen him - hard work to go with all the more talked about skill. Different type of player altogether to Waggy, who as others have suggested could poss be used as an extra forward.

    Apart from the quality he brings, this is clearly something of a turning point. We're now out-bidding our rivals, apparently including some from the division above. It's not just about money though - I think we were still financially well capable of recruiting Wes Hoolahan when he shone against us for a then well-beaten (pre-Holloway) Blackpool, but Pardew probably didn't even notice him - perhaps he was too busy studying his pay-off clause. We might just have a good boss too, not just a poular figurehead!

    Got to be this one really - just got to think of the middle bit;

     

    Danny Green, Danny Green running down the wing...

    Danny Green, Danny Green and this is what we sing....

     

    something something something

    Really can't see Jose staying now, would love it, but just don't think it'll happen. I also think if Powell had any persuasian of playing Jose as a CB then he would have tried it last season, he seemed to give everyone a go and tried to test the squad out as much as possible, but he seemed to concentrate on turning Jose into a "box to box" midfielder, I doubt much has happened over the off season to change his mind or suggest that he may be able to play as a CB.
  • 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 for this season i think.

    Green played in CM for quite a few games for the Daggers last season. Could be used on the right side of the 3 mids instead of McCormack.

    Powell liked using it but didnt have the right players to play it. Now he has.

    Pretty sure that Powell is not the type of manager to play a player what he percieves to be outside his position

    I am sure I'll get laughed at for this. But I would keep Llera.....
    He's a mistake waiting to happen whenever he plays for us

    Why is Dale Stephens' signing thread made an announcement and Danny Green's one isn't? That's just MEAN.
    Completely agree...I mean if he reads Charlton Life he might think Stephens is more important!  I mean this thread only has 838 posts about him!
