I was warned about levelling criticism at Tommy Barrett the midfielder, but a centre-half he is not. He's not rubbish there, but why bother? He, like Wayne, can dictate play in the midfield whereas he's an adequate centre-half.Quote:

Wrong.Quote:

Much better than adequate by the divisions standards.Quote:

i think tommy is a very good centre back, better than midfield actually. when he plays in midfield he definately doesn't dictate it, more breaks it up. He's more a definsive player than an attacking one so the other options in midfield are better in my opinion. Wayne with either Hughes or Lyons i think is a good balanced centre midfield and prob the best option for next season.Quote:

Saying that I don't think Barrett and Dano are suited to play with each other at centre back, they both attack the ball first, you need a centre back who drops deeper and clears up any flick ons etc.
He could also do a great job at centre forward as a target man with one of the fast strikers. Limerick need someone like that for next season when we play the weaker teams who seem to sit back behind the ball and defend for their lives. The likes of Sheahan and Tierney don't seem to get stuck in during those games. Barrett would do that job up front. I would prefer him at centre back though.
I think that is definately the type of player Limerick should be looking to bring in for next season. Someone who can get around the pitch a bit aswell but a good strong target first and foremost. Will Tierney be with us next season? How long is his contract with Cork City, with the wage bill being cut and them losing alot of players they might want to hang onto a player like Tierney (Prob still just as back up for them though).Quote:

Welcome to the forum :rolleyes:
I don't see the fact that someone is slowing down to be a good reason to just let them fill-in at centre-half until they retire.Quote:

I think we will lose some also.
Its important you dont lose the players you have and maybe add a few.
Did anyone ever notice the "special" posters always have the year in their username??Quote:
