U's sign Owen Garvan to bolster the midfield . Intresting signing, does this admit the midfield lacks some creativity ? |  |

Very interesting, given the perception of most is that the defence is paper-thin and we also need goalscorers up front, but he's a talented player with plenty of experience, so I'm okay with that. He's also yet another product of Home Farm, which definitely bodes well. |  |

I know we need two fit strikers (one to warm the bench at home games obviously), we could do with a decent goalkeeper and the fullbacks need sorting out. When did midfield become the centre of attention? In reality you can only buy what is available I suppose.
Does it mean a deal is still floating around for George? If it isn't then there will be even less wages available to attract a goalscorer.
23 goals in 256 games doesn't sound too 'creative' to me that's 4 a season, admittedly against Championship defenders.
All in favour of as many talented players as possible, but if he is creative going forward who is he going to pass to? [Post edited 27 Aug 2015 17:33]

I think I am correct in saying we have the following midfielders on our wages bill, Edwards, Gilbey, Moncur, Szmodics, Lapslie, Ambrose, Wright, Lawrence, Curtis, Sembie-Ferris and now Garvan, plus a few from the academy. I think that's more midfielders than Man City have!
I hope there are plenty of clubs looking for loan players! [Post edited 27 Aug 2015 21:45]

Can he play as a lone centre forward? If not, why sign him...unless Moncur is on his way? | |

It could be that TH has the same problem shopping as Mrs TOOT, she goes out to buy some socks but comes home with two pairs of shoes! | | | |

I hope your wife doesn't read your posts Toot.
If she does perhaps you should think..  |  | | |

My Ipswich supporting colleague says Garvan was a good player for them but, obviously, that was a while ago. | |

Listening to Mr H on the official site we are very close to a yes/no on what would be a good signing in the striker department, with possibly another deal for a forward in the pipeline.
Sounds like Garvan was surplus to requirements at Palace and hoped to get a deal at a higher level, but nothing materialised. Signing until Jan in the hope a bigger club comes calling.
If he showcases his skills and helps us to bag some points along the way it sounds a mutually beneficial deal, akin to a loan. Looking forward to seeing him play as at 27 he should still be able to produce the goods as long as he's fit. Hopefully a cool head to bring the best out of those around him. | | | |
