Who replaces Mark Noble?
Im not talking about who replaces him as captain, simply who replaces him in the centre midfield alongside Rice.

Noble will be 33 years old in May so its time to think about a replacement.

Many have said the centre midfield has been neglected through the years and I agree with that. Now with Obiang and before him Kouyate gone surely its time to invest in that area.

The usual sources on Twitter are saying not much will be spent in January, maybe a couple of loans they say but El Pel doesnt like loans so I dont expect anything to happen until the summer.

So all you scouting experts on here who should we go for to replace Noble and slot in alongside Rice in the centre of midfield?

Should have gone for Doucoure from Watford in the summer

Dig a tree up from Hermit Rd park, plant it in the centre circle and watch it do the same job as Mark Noble every week.

Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
We have a Mr Pellegrini on the line
His choices are/were Sanchez and Wilshere

This was the one role we needed to fix in the summer and we were linked with 5 or 6 players costing from about £8m to £25m.

More of an attacking player
One for the future ... the 21yo Ebere EZE at QPR
Attacking midfielder, can run with the ball, decent size and has a goal in him. Takes pens too. Scored two at Hull on Saturday

Conor COVENTRY, should be given a chance, last 15 when we’re winning bring him on for noble or lanzini. Let him gel in and see how he handles it.

Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
the only options aren't good enough, that's why the spiv cunts are to blame for the crap squad

Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
We’ve been needing to replace him for the last four years.

Sanchez is a waste of wages and a squad place, while Wilshere has never got going.

Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
Why not replace him as captain? He done fuck all out there to get the team to raise their efforts on Saturday. Every time we’re under threat they seem to be playing through where he should be. I’d stick fornals in there and give him a chance..

Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
I'd like a strong engine, box to box midfielder who can cover a lot of ground.

Preferably black, someone like Sissoko, Kouyate, Doucoure, Matuidi.

Lewis Cook a good shout for non-black players

because they don't have dinosaur scouting methods?

Huffers 10:44 Mon Oct 21
Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
Wheres he gone then?

He played badly on Satuday, probably one of his worst ever performances actually but he has been vital this season so far.

Facts remain, if he plays well - the whole team does. He doesn't play well every single week...if he did he would have gone about 8 years ago.

Iron Duke 10:49 Mon Oct 21
Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
Mark Noble is fine if we want to stay mid table and never have a chance of winning anything. If we really want to push on then we need an upgrade. Same as our fullbacks. But our owners go half-arsed in the transfer window and try to make do with what they have. Not only that but they also reward mediocre players with massive wages.

It isn’t easy to find the right midfielder, but definitely not impossible. And Sissoko and Kouyate are definitely not the answers.

Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
Kessie was one we were linked with int he summer big strong box to box Ivorian from AC Milan who are apparently in a bit of a financial crisis at the moment.

Have seen several rumour mill pieces linking him with a move to Wolves in january though.

Vexed 10:53 Mon Oct 21
Re: Who replaces Mark Noble?
He's still by far out best midfielder. Noble has a good game, the team plays well. We should have invested in the summer though, it was glaringly obvious. Why this wasn't obvious to Pellegrini/dildos is unclear. Spunked it on Fornals who looks so far to be absolutely terrible. Classic West Ham.
