Oviedo to leave?

[Mackemjmc]

Any offer would be good. No disrespect to Oviedo as I believe he deserves to be playing, but we don't need to be paying anyone as much as he is getting right now.

We are certainly paying him far too much to sit on the bench

 

[Mainze]

Good player, and IF he is still here in Feb then the challenge is there for Ross to get him and our other good players in the team producing.

This isn’t a pop at Ross, I like him and what he’s done so far, but for me for us to nail down a top 2 position, we need to be getting our best players in a settled team.

We are clearly lacking in creating chances at the moment, which is something he should be able to assist with played right.

Agreed. 2 shots on goal against Scunthorpe was pathetic.

 

[manamamackem]

I see Hume is back in train and could be available for selection in a couple of weeks.

That seems to be a reasonable enough timeframe to allow Oviedo to leave by the end of the window - if, of course, we get a good enough offer.

Not belittling Oviedo, but have we had 'Any' offers at all for him and or Catts. I can't see either getting a much better deal elsewhere than they're currently getting with us. Nt having a go at the lads, just saying!

 

[Hull_Mackem]

Probably got the best delivery of anyone in our team and he keeps the ball extremely well. Starting him and Matthews will make a difference to our attacking play. O'Nien struggles with forward runs and both he and James struggle with anything except telegraph passes into the winger and central midfielder.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Lad is barely shining in the 3rd tier of England, one of if not the highest earner here, no fucker would want this chancer.

This. From marking Neymar well at the World Cup to putting in lacklustre performances in League One in a matter of months.

 

[KJNMackem]

Oviedo and Matthews should start every game, when fit.

Club Brugge were interested in him in the Summer. There were rumours that we'd turned down £1.8m.

 

[Gideon Gungeon]

should get him peddled if at all possible imo mate

 

[G Force]

Hume & James are good enough for the left back spot. Do we have any emerging u23 as 3rd choice back up? (Or was that Hume )

“If” we could find buyers for Oviedo & Catts then we’d have to let them both go.

Leadbitter could be Catts ready made replacement anyway at a fraction of cost

Oviedo didn't mark Neymar well in the World Cup. The 70 yard pass that eliminated him in the first half

Neymar got the winner.

Aye but, considering. He struggled to mark Marcus Maddision weeks later.

Yes, it's relative, mate.

 

[kildaremackem]

rightly or wrongly, he isnt regarded as first choice by the manager, so should be sold, we can find an adequate reserve full back for a tenth of the money..

 

[sunderpitt]

Yeah we really just play 2 defensive midfielders in front of the back 4 and leave the creativity to Maguire, Gooch and Mcgeady but they all were poor last saturday

I don't think it's anything.
Whilst he wouldn't win any prizes as the best of the best, however, James's started playing whipped-back crosses at good height when he does advance, contrasted to BO's in from deep.
Skill vs. Portsmouth fashioning Power's assist, to be truthful about James.

 

[JAWS]

Another monumental cock-up under Moyes regime, on massive wage and unable to hold down place in league one. If he is as good as some on here think he would be the first name on the team sheet. Prior to his injury at Everton looked a fantastic player since then a shadow.

He's 33 tho marra! We'd probably end up having to tie him down for three years anarl. Could be the next ghost of O'Shea

 

[JRisthenewfergie]

He's the best in his position in this league and the League above by a country mile. He needs to be starting every game for us when he's available. Hume is a good prospect but nowhere near the level of Oviedo and James is a half decent L1 defender and nothing more. The fact that some people see Oviedo as our 3rd choice is hilarious.

Hmm, not sure about that mate, Barry Douglas, Kieran Gibbs, Martin Olsen and Neil Taylor all spring to mind as better all round players than Oviedo IMO

Agree if that’s the case

If we could get him on a 18 month deal with sensible/affordable wages then he’d be a decent addition

I have more faith in these, than the previous lot to do the right thing

Me too mate, but as the saying goes,'You can' t please all of the people all of the time'!
