Luton – New Midfielder Splits Opinion Among Support

Yesterday, as another working week ended, the Hatters secured the services of two experienced players for the coming season.

As is traditional, when Luton make a new signing, we like to, via social media, gauge the supporters’ reaction to the deal.

Yesterday, we covered the signing of Cameron Jerome – luton-support-divided-on-striker-signing – and this morning, we feel duty bound to cover the signing of or new midfielder, Henri Lansbury.

Like Jerome, it appears there is mixed reaction as well when it comes to the procurement of Lansbury.

In one corner, we have a group of supporters that, on the back of the busy summer of deals, promotion could be on the cards:

A little optimistic in my opinion, I cannot help feeling consolidation is still the key until the Power Court development is ready for the club to move into.

But there is also another group who posted comments warning us of Lansbury’s tendency to pick up injuries:

Clearly the fitness of Lansbury will need to be monitoring but, in balancing up matters, we should point out there are several posts congratulating Nathan Jones and his backroom team for pulling off this deal:

And as we always like to promote, tweets from supporters of clubs Lansbury has previously played for also paint a picture:

As for me, I am always prepared to give new arrivals a chance and Lansbury, as well as Jerome, are no exceptions, with a young squad the experience they bring could be essential.

Injuries can strike anyone and, hopefully, we will, with some careful managing, keep Lansbury off the treatment table.

After finishing in 12th place last season, the newly vamped squad has the credentials to finish higher but talk of promotion is, I feel, a little premature.

    Morning mh, he hasn’t even played yet!!! At arsenal he was an exceptional youngster. OK he’s had his problems but he is class when fit so if we can get him up and running. Who knows.

  • Tony Byfield says:

    My Forest friend tells me that Lansbury has a habit of falling over in the penalty area.

    My only concern with the large change in players is that the excellent spirit built over the last 3 years may be lost.

    • Mad Hatter says:

      good point Tony, team spirit is something that needs nurturing and plays an important part in how a side progresses.

  • Chris winter says:

    Hi all, Tony makes a good point an it’s worth bearing in mind before we all get to excited expecting to reach the play offs. Usually you can get away with 2 or 3 new players starting but if we try playing all our new recruits the teams dynamic will be affected. An we could suffer to start with. Let’s hope nj an his team of coaches can just get the balance right.

    consolidate is the key. dont run before you can walk. see how the team gels,we have a good backbone ,lets add a few more players into the mix. chris is right to say about the team dynamic could change, but that is how progress happens. we would all love a mick harford playing at the front,and in time that might happen. look how much other teams have spent and not acheived there goals, that is why team spirit is so important at luton. spend wisely,and nurture young players.COYH AND ITALY.
