rbr 1,247 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Unbelievably I think we have actually come out of that transfer window stronger , and money wise up on the deal , very strange 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Something must have happened between Webster and the club management - that whole scenario was very strange, start to finish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Releasing Webster must mean that we have confidence in throwing Bartley in if needed - we dont have a great deal of cover at the back - Bartley can play both RB and CB so has that versatility that WS likes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is only a youngster,strange signing??,unless he is a very good player that can step in when required!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 From what I read earlier he is both strong and good with the ball at his feet - very highly rated - high enough rated to be made reserve team captain. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The worry I would have about Bartley is that he's from Arsenal. I've no doubt he'll be a very good footballer, but Arsene doesn't really do the big, strong, commanding centre half. I know nothing about the lad, but am just slightly cocnernedhe may struggle coming up against the likes of Sammon, Kyle and Nish, big lads who throw their weight about. But we needed a centre half - especially with Webstergate. Even if he had stayed he just wasn't getting a chance, which is a shame as I always rated him as a player. As for Diouf, I dunno. I like him as a footballer, always have, but I do think he's a tad insane. It'll wind Timmy up, no doubt, and there's mileage in that, but the whole thing with Jamie Mackie was pretty revolting. If anything, you would expect him to have a bit of respect for a fellow pro, but obviously not. But, you got to give folk the benefit of the doubt and I'll get behind him and hope he screws the nut whilst here and gets a few goals. I do like the idea of him and Jelavic up front. Healy - Beattie, Ostenstad etc. etc. Not thrilled, he won't play much, might get a goal in teh Scottish cup. Meh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 He is highly rated by Wenger so he can add something. Webster just hasn't suited us but I don't get him rejoining a club he took to court. We tried to use him and get Conway suppose it was last ditch before we released him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Bartley being used as a full back and on the occasion a centre back as Weir and Bougherra will still be main stays. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
