Re: New Attacking Midfielder

Ok let's see how good you all are. With Stock about to be given the push, Jarrett's departure hopefully imminent and Simpson showing no sign of giving young Ashley Parillon a chance we have an urgent need for a central attacking midfielder who can impose himself on the game and do something a bit different. Somebody with a bit of creativity.
Point one.........you don't think the reason why "Simpson showing no sign of giving young Ashley Parillon a chance" could be because he doesn't think he is up to the job yet do you..........
😕 . I know I am a long way from the action, but even I know that one of the reasons for pre season games (and we had plenty of those from memory) is to give youngsters like Parillon an oppertunity to stake their claim for a place...............now if he failed to do that in the pre season friendlies against the likes of Bamber Bridge and Chorley etc, why would he be good enough a few weeks later against teams such as Birmingham and West Brom?????????????
Also we have (hopefully) Adam Nowland/Mellor challenging for a place in the near future, yet you want us to:
a) risk upsetting the chemistry we have in the team.
b) start messing around with a WINNING SET UP.
c) spend one million pounds on a player who may or may not do a better job than Nowland/Mellor could do when hopefully they will be fit in a few weeks time.
Yes, I know that Mellor is not an attacking mid-fielder which is the subject of this topic, but, none of us know how Simpson intends to utilise Mellor when fit, as we will have Nugent, Dichio, Agyemang, Ormerod and Mellor to select from in the recognised striker department..............and my maths tell me that five into two doesn't go.
Voldemort, you are always advocating "thinking outside the box"..........is it beyond you to recognise or consider that we may already have that attacking midfielder at the club, but perhaps you are to shortsighted to identify him?
Plus, he wouldn't cost us a million quid either..............
