No disrespect to Sir Bobby but there's plenty of people who deserve something named after them at this club before the great man. Our current manager for example. are you being serious??? Yes. Why? I don't think any living person should have something named after them tbh

Healy to replace Smith? Aiming high aren't we. Isn't Dean Windass available?

Cheers. Perhaps I'm reading too much negativity into that article when I think it means we're not signing anyone else...

Where did Keegan say about 3 new players?

Even if it cost us the FA cup, or a place in Europe?

I'd find this thread very depressing if Brummie didn't post in it.

HOW? Quite obvious. A lot of our fans would rather play with 8 players than play Smith, Duff and Milner. Against 8 men I think Smith might have more room.

We never put a bid in for Arda by the way. As much as I thought Emre was useless, having a player who plays 8 games a season is actually better than having nobody. Seems we have a "sell first, replace later" attitutude at the club at the moment.

Selling our good players and replacing them with shit has nothing to do with our current state? Fact is we should never have sold Bellamy. Which striker did we bring in in the Summer we sold him? Nobody to replace Bellamy, did we? So Owen didn't come into the team to partner Shearer? 11 games What's that got to do with anything? You said we brought in shite to replace him which isn't the case. Unless you think the Owen we signed was shite? He was a shite replacement seeing as he hardly managed a game until last season, yes. I'd rather have kept Bellamy.

So you actually don't care what happens on the pitch, unless it's Alan Smith.

I don't disagree with that. I just can't believe people think we're better off without him.

Yep, we've certainly improved since he left. I for one am much happier with the current state of play now that we don't have to worry about Bellamy's name appearing in the press. In the final 1/3 of the pitch, out on the paddock....... have we? What happens out on the pitch is what matters most. Erm, it was sarcastic.

most people here don't know what chants you mean billy. They haven't been heard for a number of years. The thing is, it would appear some people rather foolishly would prefer us to stick with Ashley, but if this bloke took over and is interested in the football, he'd blow him - and everybody else - out of the water. Complete no brainer. Eh? If my aunt had a cock she'd be my uncle. What are you actually trying to say?

I reckon we could do with a few more centre backs. Aye well if Terry has the same bad luck he had last season I guess you could do with the cover.... That joke's so old you might have to explain it to most people on here....

Perhaps you should go over the top next time you post. Not sure I can handle the realistic comparison you've used there.

How I laughed when you were on here moaning when it looked like you were going to sign him last Summer. mackems.gif And then we signed him. Hopefully this summer you laugh because it looks like we'll sign him... then he stays on your wage bill for another year. What? Surely you mean another 4 years?

Never quite meant this as much on here, but seriously, f*** off. Interesting. You pull him up for hoping for a broken leg but don't jump on the cunt in this thread who hopes he has ebola virus. Sorry, gave up reading after that post. Fuck off whoever said about the ebola virus too then

There's probably plenty of shit failed strikers we could sign.

Exactly.

Why don't we? Because Smith is better than we can actually get? I'm as pissed off as everyone that (it looks like) we're not signing a replacement for Smith, but I also accept that if we don't sign a striker, we can't afford to let Smith go. The squad is as thin as we've ever had it in the Premiership, we simply cannot let more players go without replacements coming in. This sort of reasoning is exactly why he is still here and it's just dead wrong.. I don't disagree to be honest. However, the correct way to do things is to bring a replacement in, and then let him go. Might be poor business, but it's good football sense. I'm speculating that we won't sign a striker before the transfer window shuts, but I bet nobody is willing to put money on us getting someone, are they? £50 then Gol that we bring someone in that can play as a striker. How about bringing in a striker, which is what I said? I actually think we'll sign a creative midfielder, so I'm not taking that bet with you

Exactly. Add Duff and Milner to that then. Obviously the club have proved over the last few years just how successful we've been at replacing people. Seriously, if Smith is so shit, and it'll be so easy to replace him, why exactly are we leaving it so late in the transfer market? Do you think we already have someone lined up, or do you think Keegan has your attitude and is happy to wing it?
