Title: Lukus and holmes
Post by: red macca on Monday, July 30, 2007, 08:44:55
In todays adver strong possibility that they could both be joining us.

If we get these two i will be very happy indeed squad taking shape very nicely 8)

Aljofree as Captain as well :o   Didn't know who to expect to get that tbh but agreed.  Would love to see Holmes especially back here.

Shouldn't we be after a right winger rather than a left winger?

No. We faily obviously need 1 of each if we are hoing to have 2 players for every position

also both zaaboub and comminges (sp) can play on both wings, as shown at ciren.

Silly me, I was under the impression we already had 2 left wingers but then I could only think of Zaaboub.... Unless Caton counts? He's a crock anyway.

Holmes would be an excellent signing no doubt. I'd love to have Lukas back aswell but I don't think he'd be the answer to our striking problems.

It would be great to see the lad back but is he the answer to our scoreing.

they would be two good signings, no doubt about it.

If we do get those two, then another striker (goal poacher) and a right winger (which may end up being Comminges, despite being signed as a full back)

Then, I'd be really really happy with the squad

I got the impression it was a possibility but not a particularly strong one. Certainly in the case of Holmes any way. If a Championship club express an interest we've got no chance. It sounds like Lukas on the other hand, would come back like a shot. Everton have to agree to it though.


Title: Lukus and holmes
Post by: Chubbs on Monday, July 30, 2007, 16:33:39
TBH i think the chances of lukas comming back are slim, what with Vaughan injured and beatie looking go to to sheff united, everton will be short on strikers. And he made a great impression pre-season, he might just get into the squad quiker than imagined.

Am i the only one who would sooner have a 15-20 goal striker than getting Lukas back on loan?

Don't get me wrong he's a good lad who done well for us last year, but i just cant see him getting that many goals at League One level.

Agreed Spud. I'd prefer a goalscorer to Lucas.

I disagree. I think Lukas wasn't fit enough last year. If he get's the fitness I'd expect him to bag 15 goals.

No, Zaaboub is ridiculously over rated! compare Roberts and Zaaboub since Zaaboub sealed his 18 moth contract, Roberts has been by far the better player, and has looked in alot better shape than Zaaboub in pre season as well. Zaaboub is french and lazy, and needs a kick up the arse

Like, who and from where....you cant just get a 15-20 goal striker.

Also, Lukas is a PREMIERSHIP player....so effectivly he should be more than good enough for league one. He did alright for us despite only being 16 at the time.

We've got new Investors we should be able to sign a quality striker....chuckle chuckle.

A Premiership player that probably wont play for them in the Premier League for a good couple of seasons.

so in summary, half the people on this thread are saying lucas isnt good enough for league 1, the other half are saying he wont come here because everton will need him in their first team.

brilliant.

How much fun would it be if we all agreed.

I think both sides are right.


Title: Lukus and holmes
Post by: RobertT on Monday, July 30, 2007, 21:23:22
I think the problem with getting Lucas back would be that it could potentially mask a problem.  Would be good move if we also get someone of decent calibre on a permanent deal, but if we use it to plug the gap then it could come back to bite us - imagine if they call him back.

Lukas would be a great signing. His goal at Walsall last season was something special.

Shayne Bradley, Neale Fenn, and Mark Yeates didn't.

Did he not? Championship side Colchester seem quite happy to have signed him!


Title: Lukus and holmes
Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 08:31:40
For us Yeates was terrible, but to keep OST happy I'll replace him with Jamie Slabber - now he was gash.


Title: Lukus and holmes
Post by: Dazzza on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, 09:01:26
To be fair Yeates barely played on loan and made a decent enough debut in his first game.

His move is probably more memorable for the whole farce surrounding his loan move.  It was typical of King at the time and they even fell out and the Yeates was shipped back to the Yids sharpish.
