Why sign a Kapo type if he's not gonna be allowed to play his way? Bruce tried the 'adventurous' route in the last season in the Prem with the 'best' squad he'd assembled - Dunn, Pennant, Heskey etc - and look what happened. That's why he's the one trick pony : two sideways-only midfielders come hell or high water. And that's why he can't take this club to the next level. |

i think kapo has to stay in the team. he couldn't do much against middlesbrough because they just tore blues apart, and kapo can't do it all himself. it's a team game. also, kapo is the one who will get us a goal from nothing, he is someone who will shoot from anywhere and try his luck when we can't seem to score, and he is the one who looks likely as if he will get a goal, and he will. |

Im more concerned about the effort rather than the quality. Because atm we have quality but their is little effort. Just look at viler beating chelsea. They haven't got much quality but they put effort in. Thats why they won. If only blues can start doing that. |

when we went up last time i feel we were harder to beat in that first season we got our selfs into a good posision by xmas time and sb went out bought in about six new players. Now that would be the right time to bring in your Kapo`s. right now is not fair on the player cus he aint never going to be the player youneed in a reiagation battle. i say keep him on the bench bringing him on now and again till we look a bit more safe. |

A player with a footballing brain doen't have to run himself ragged. We need the schemer just as much as we need the 100% sloggers. The better teams have both. It just remains to be seen whether Bruce knows how to plan his formation and tactics according to whatever team we are playing against. Other teams have also brought in foreign players and I'm sure those clubs aren't saying "Let's give 'em 6 months to acclimatise". That should be done on the training ground with intensive coaching. |

But if he had only bought 2 or three like Reading have would the same level of criticsm be aimed his way if we were in thae same position? I think so, and i think it would be that Bruce is too cautious in the market and didn't buy enough. The point is that the amount of players isn't really the issue, or so i think. |

How would that be a team of winners!! I agree you wouldn't conceed many goals. But then again you wouldn't score any either!! I'm not sure if a season of 0-0 draws would keep us in the Prem. |

If we played the right tactics, and had a creative central midfielder, Kapo would flourish. Simple as. |

Our problem is the formation. Every team knows that we'll play 442 with 2 defensive midfielders and 2 wingers. Why not change to 352. Taylor kelly jaidi ridgewell mcsheffrey as left wing back larsson as right wing back muamba djourou kapo-free role forssell jerome. A strong backbone of the team in 3 defenders and the 3 midfielders :banner: |

Kapo will come good he will adjust eventually to the speed of the prem. He played in Italy which is a very slow league and you can tell that by how he plays, hes a bit lightweight at the moment we must be patient, and patience is something i have not got but we have to be lol. |

Wouldn't agree with either of them, they were both good players before they came to us, I'd say Benitez has improved Pennant. |

Oh ffs not this old chestnut again. Why do people think that if players don't run around like blue a***ed flies, they are disinterested and should be dropped forever. I often think a lot of our fans would be happy with a team full of players who run a lot and put in lots of effort but are totally ineffective. Kapo is probably are most skillful player and If that means that he isn't in the plucky battler mould so what as long as he brings something useful to the table. |

Dunn. I admit it is a short list but that is because Bruce doesn't buy creative midfielders. I don't think he knows what they are for :whistle: |
