Jean II Makoun loaned to Olympiakos

[garyshawsknee]

He'll wanna have a good season with the euros at the end of it.

Do you think that Parker has 3 seasons in him?

31 in October, picks up a few injuries I would bank on 2 years at best and for £8 million?

No thanks

Agree. He will be looking for a pay day now, and will be on the rundown from here.

Parker has never struck me as being anything other than totally professional.  I think he'd be great for at least 3 years, and quite probably 4-5.

Totally agree Risso, he's a VERY talented PROFESSIONAL.

Diarra would be my first choice but if he's going to Spurs I'd take Palacios.

Thats a good call,he started off well at Spurs. Bit like NRC,but with better control,and his wages wouldn't be outrageous.

It seems unfair to me that we have put so much time and effort into trying to get Ireland to play that we should put so little effort into getting a return from Jean Makoun.

Silly move in my opinion.. Ok, we've got 4 points from the 1st 2 games but the football ''we try to create'' has been dire to watch.. He's one of few play makers we have.. I don't think he's been given a fair shot at all.. And as for the statement ''Makoun isn't in Mcleash's long term plans''.. I really hope thats the other way round..

[jfkdon]

Makoun fitted into Houlliers philosophy of passing and moving. Mcleish`s style of play is more ball winner and tigerish in the tackle type player. Still think he is a player who would be able to give Bent and Zoggy a supply line that they both need .......

  Agreed

I disagree with just about every word of that.

Makoun is a luxury type player and I dont think we have the other type of players around that can support that. He is the sort of player that would make up the numbers in an Arsenal squad.
I think he is very different to the other midfielders we have but very typical of high level players in France.

[noodles_]

Sell him and get Parker/Barton. It would improve us immensely IMO.

[eamonn]

The defence-splitting ball he laid on for Ashley to crash the bar with against Wolves (and I think he replicated it in another game) is something we're crying out for. Bannan has the potential to do it but that's all it is at the momen, Ireland has done it but who knows if he's going to ever cop-on and regain the form he once showed? Makoun keeps the game moving with quick passes, in fact he's one of the few we have who understand the concept of pass and move.

If we sell him and buy someone like fucking McFadden I'll weep into my weetabix.

[john e]

He was one of the players i was looking forward to watching this season, I thought he should have been in a starter, he's exactly the sort of midfielder I would want in our midfield, bit obviously if he goes AM has other ideas

Good for you..
