    Going 3 at the back could make a place free for him in the middle , good shout! But waht about Crosas , i am no expert on Koren is he better?

    I've changed my mind mate as the day wore on :56:

    I gave it a bit of thought and he would be a good signing :52: Bad case of foot in one's mouth :56:.

    I think he will offer something different for example if were going straight 4-4-2 and it isnt working we could use Koren at the tip of a diamond system i.e
    N'Guemo
    Ki Sung Yong Crosas
    Koren
    ​
    Or in a 5 man midfield.​

    N'guemo
    Ki Sung Yong Koren
    McGeady________________Maloney​

    The real Robert Koren!

    Hi Guys, Baggies fan here.

    For information the general assessment of Koren is that he is a very good player. He is two footed and plays central midfield and prefers the attacking role. He can also play wide, but is not a winger. The model pro description sums him up, very consistent and never any trouble. He times his runs well hence his ability to score goals when playing in the attacking midfielder role.

    However, he was not our best player in the Prem (Morrison was) but he did OK. He works hard but is not aggressive, hence he has not been a first choice this season. Matteo likes combative players, Mowbray like 'soft feet' hence him being out of the team this season. For information he was a bit upset with Mowbray for not letting him play central so I'm surprised he would want to move to you.

    In summary with respect to the SPL he will do well at that level.

    A personal note on Mowbray while I'm on. He was very popular here despite our relegation. If you get off his back he will play very attractive football and you will score plenty of goals. It seems he has inherited some very ordinary players, very few if any able could play at Prem level.

    However, his fatal flaw is his evangelistic approach to football. Slow possession football, lots of skill, but few leaders and battlers and a lack of pace. This might win the SPL but in Europe I think you'll suffer the same fate we did in the Prem. Dominated games but unable to breakdown top class defences and then punished on the break or at set peices.

    Well its just an opinion!

    Good luck for the season.

    Baltic

    Free agent.. We can't really go wrong, the worst we could do i sign him up and likley make a profit if we decide to sell him.
