TRC

I'm just saying this is NUFC, we don't produce decent players (well for the past decade) Edgar may become a decent player, but if he does, it won't be at us.

Montella, but to be fair to the lad, Freddy will never have heard of him.

bluelaugh.gif Edgar has one decent game, and everyone think's he's some wonder kid who is going to put Canadian football back on the map. He'll never make it, he'll be championship class at best. Quote me in 6 month, I'll be right.

I'd say someone in the RVN/Lineker mould would be ideal. Someone who is always in the box, although I can't think of anyone, so Roeder definately won't.

I had 13 quid on Chelsea to win at 3/4 after an hour. Never betting on them again, ever.

I've got a fiver on Arsneal to win from behind at 11/2 fiver free bet on Van Persie and 2-0 fiver double on Chelsea and Arsenal. for this weekend Cardiff, Brum, Preston trixie.

Anyway, has any decent signings gone through (for any club) yet? I'm saying our first signing will be 21st Jan.

Good post.

Why bother arguing? You won't change each others opinion. Talk about transfers ffs.

Apparently Madrid want Bale like...

Well you have something in common with him I suppose.

So Testa is either ugly as fuck, or you wan't to shag her? Is that what your saying? Tbh, with your hairstyle, it's probably both bluewink.gif

We are now going to get hammered in the FA cup.

Julio B's only made 4 starts or something. Straight swap for Luque tbh.

Football should be played behind closed doors tbh. Then I could get a refund on my season ticket.

Nailed it on the head No nonsense from me. Just when Yorkie-Geordie was talking about signing a Woodgate type player I thought he was meaning spend the full budget on one area. I don't know because I didn't read his post, and still haven't tbh.

We can't afford to buy "makeshift" left backs as they will probably be no better than the ones we've got already, we need defenders that will improve our defence not ones that make no difference whatsoever. Except no fucker in the squad can play well at left-back. Huntington's shown promise, but if that's his best position then i'm Ziggy Stardust. It's OK spending threpence on a striker, because it isn't quite as vital a player. They're either going to work out or not and if they don't, it's not the end of the world - 11 men in the squad can score goals. However, when you spend nowt or very little on a defender, especially a wing-back, it's a much bigger gamble. If they don't work out - it's catastrophic because it's a so much more fragile position. I'm sick of us not identifying the main problem in the team - we don't spend on the defense often enough, yet the money is there. Yes, we paid for Boumsong, but we should never have really - hindsight is a wonderful thing and we should never have paid £8m on a defender who wasn't good enough for Auxerre, yet was lightning in the Scottish league. It was senseless really. Especially when we could have had him for nowt in the summer. :roll: Just shows you how shit Souness was at lots of things. The only other defender we paid for was Woodgate - which was a brilliant signing, and his injuries weren't our fault. We were right to go for that sort of player - that was good initiative. Woodgate had top quality and he would sort out our defense. He did when he played but we/he was just unlucky. We were right to get rid at the time aswell. And you look at the other defenders we've brought in. £1m on Baba. £2m on Carr. Nowt on Moore. £4m on Bramble. £0 on Bernard. Ramage, Huntington, etc - all cheap academy lads. It's crap wheeling and dealing and poor management on the whole, from both Souness and Roeder, when you look at how SHIT our defense has been for the last ten years and beyond. More Woodgate-type signings please! Identify quality... sign it. Fucks sake. :roll: How old are you? 14 or something? Boumsong made his name at Auxerre, and was class alongside Mexes, which earned both of them places in the France squad, he was nout special at Rangers. If Oba is fucked, we are fucked, Charlton and Sheff U at home are examples of this. Obviously I want a decent defence, but I think you can spend less on a left back and get a makeshift one in untill the summer, whereas if Oba gets injured(and probably will) we could be pulled back into the relegation dogfight. We can't afford to buy "makeshift" left backs as the chances are they'll be no better than what we've got already, we need defenders that will improve our defence not ones that won't make a difference. On the Oba situation, yes your right it would be a massive blow to our team, however take Ronaldo from Man U and you've already seen the Chelsea's defence struggle without John Terry. Without Ronaldo, Man U still have Saha, Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Smith and they will have Larsson. I see what you say about makeshift leftbacks but who the hell is going to sell a left back in January for cheap? Most people who sell a left back will have to replace him, so they demand alot of money. Not many people have good back up left backs like they do strikers and midfielders.

I was just being a cunt and not really reading your post tbh. I'm not sure on our budget this transfer window, but I would like too see us sign someone who will get some goals, and someone who can defend. If I had the choice of one or the other it would be a striker. Having a good defence means nothing if you can't score goals, it would just be shite 0-0 games like against Charlton. I'd take Viduka, but not Beattie, I think Moyes would want 4-5 mill for him, whereas he has done fuck all since he had that good 18 month at Southampton. I'd even take someone like Vassell just till the end of the season. As long as we don't rely on Femi.

I agree with HTL, in how anyone can fill in at left back/right back but not many can fill in upfront. E.g Solano is doing an OK job at right back. I'd spend 4 million on a striker or so, and flog Luque for anything over 1 mill. Try and pick up a cheap left and right back, and a centre half. Last week it was "Nigel Pearson is a defensive coach God!" this week we are shite

35 people voted Pointless tbh.

Good spot.

still would...

Oba play well?
