Those that were at Salford on Saturday.....do you think we need a Thomas-Asante type player?
Take away the diving and deliberate handball, there was expectation and excitement not to mention danger every time he got the ball. He can (or players like him) make things happen. Someone with genuine pace and a half decent football brain bursting through the middle....
On the way home, I compared him with Derek Asomoah. Totally hit and miss, but very quick and unpredictable. Even if we got someone like him that wasn't good enough to start but more of a super sub, then fine. The issue is we don't have that type of player at the club, at all. Hoskins at a push I guess. But then we don't have the fullbacks to enable us to play 4-4-2 with confidence...not saying we should go 4-4-2, but having the option would be nice!
For me we need someone like Tomas-Asante, a decent left back (Joe Martin is woeful from what I've seen) and a number 10. Warburton can go back to Stockport on loan! Waters has already gone. Id ship out Martin as well. So 3 in 3 out for me; the 3 coming in being better than the 3 going out!
