He hasnt really impressed and he's probably too lightweight for what we need in the middle of the park anyway, so not really bothered if he goes. If we can bring in someone more suitable and an improvement on Makoun then get rid.

There's definitely a player in there somewhere. And if our resources were such that we could do what we did with Petrov - have a huge earner taking the best part of two years to find consistent form- fair enough.
But we can't.
Makoun out - and in his place a midfielder more capable of hitting the ground running - would be decent business. Providing we don't take a huge hit on the TF fee.
I like Luke, but at his age if we could get a younger version on possibly less money we'd have to look at that too.

He has'nt really been given a fair crack yet has he really? We tend to give up on new players too easily nowadays if they have'nt set the world alight after 3 games.

Right player, wrong time.
Might be the sort of trading we'll need to do to bring anyone else in.

Surprised by these "hasn;t really impressed"comments. Okay he's a bit rash in the challenge but so is Delph. He's impressed me with his passing and vision, especially at Old Trafford last year, very tidy on the ball and can pick a through ball out. I'm not sure what people expect. I really hope he stays and is given a proper chance. If he's going it's probably more to do with him thinking he would be playing under Houllier and perhaps not fitting into AM's plans or style.

Tend to agree, Matt. He's a decent player but we've got Delph and Banan who do essentially the same job and if it is one in, one out then I'd rather it was him out of the three. That said, if we just get rid without bringing in another body I'll be pissed off.

I'd be disappointed to see him go without a chance to show us what he can do. However, I could see the logic in losing him to get a dominant midfielder in, like Parker or similar.
Its true that Delph, Bannan, Gardner (soon) and in some ways Petrov cover what he offers.
This should only happen if we dont get mugged off on any potential deal and a replacement HAS to be tied up first.

I called his one about 6-8 weeks ago. He is Houlliers man, and not settled as we would have hoped. Good player for sure, but worried he will get sent off before 60 minutes every week! McLeish on Sporting life is quoted as saying that it is possible that he will go but not without someone else coming in too.

I said back when GH was ill that I thought Makoun would be gone in the summer.
He was very much a GH player.
He was very good until the red card at Blackpool.
I would sell him & let McLeish get in his own player.

Dissapointing if true. The guys passing is class. Yet people slate him despite only playing 7 games for us.
Would love to see him given a chance, but if he doesnt fit into the managers plans then so be it, our loss.
