Would you have Gelson back?

I know it's the silly season but I can't believe we have a thread on this!! Joke or not.

Prefer him to de Jong. At least he has face the opposition goal at some stage in his career.

that, my friend, is interesting on several levels. And not in a good way. You think having Gelson in midfield would have won you two matches against the league champions this past season? Slag De Jong all you want, but he does a job...and is a good player. Once we've got a couple more pieces, and some focus on where and when he should play we'll be fine and it won't be so easy to slag him off. He might be a one-trick pony in your eyes, but he's the kind that will be on the pitch when we hoist a trophy. I think.

cheers

Well Gelson did score a couple of goals for us when playing in the same position that Nige occupies now. Do you think that Nige will ever score a goal for us ?? I don't see it in him.
To be fair to Nige, he does his job well but is 1 dimensional as he brings no attacking value to the team. Our other current DM's, Barry and Vieira on the other hand do get forward , do pass forward and get into scoring positions and also score. So in the absence of a world class playmaker, I would play Barry and Pat ahead of Nige.

Ha ha, the term 'defensive midfielder' should give you a clue as to if they have attacking value ... jeez

Away against big teams or subbe on to hold a lead he'd be brilliant at. But if I was maanger he play less than half our games.

I'll go with that. At home Barry alone can do the job. At least he can pass forward !!

Definately, I'd also re-sign Sun, Fowler and Mcmananananananaanananananananananaman.
