Strange, could have sworn I replied to this but it has disappeared. Delaney is an excellent player, but he will almost certainly never play again. Note that I've been banging on about not having a single RB at the club, despite the fact Delaney is a RB - this is because he will almost certianly never play consistently again. Is on a month to month contract until he proves his fitness, but even if he gets fit, I'd be amazed if you got, say, 10 games out of him on a two year contract. Sorry, I shifted it in to the Delaney thread in case you missed it.

Some rumours out of the blue linking us with Delaney, brum - thoughts? I know he's had injuries by the bucketload, but is he any good when he's fit?

Depressing!

Hope he gets jailed until his foot heals fully. That'll learn him.

Ledley King's out for the first two months of the season.

If he'd been playing for Man Utd, we'd have got about £15m for him. *grumble grumble*

Has anyone seen this quote that's in the Times, I must have missed it if it's been mentioned: Allardyce: "Has there been a bid made for Alan from Newcastle? There have been many bids made."

He already showed what he can do against Juve.. He didnt boss the game and Sam gave him the chance to do that tonight. Which he glaringly failed to do. Best player on the park on Sunday imo. Lovely reverse pass to set Martins away. Been out of position in both games too.

I think we do need another central midfielder and it's not at all the fact that he's not a defender that I have a problem with, simply that he's a poor player for a ridiculous fee. Poor in midfield, poor in attack, the mackems got a better deal on Richardson imo - at least he's got a few things in his locker other than being able to kick people.

Yeah, Ramage is still shit.

Man Utd are unbelievable though. A combined £12.7m for Guiseppe Rossi and Alan Smith? Jesus cunting wept (©Alex). I'd pay £5m absolute tops for the pair, even then I'd think I'd been ripped off.

I'm going to live in blind hope that it's not Smith.

Shola in the wings??? Get to fuck. :lol: What a crock of shit. If we are talking about LEAGUE goals, which is the only real barometer, and what people always meant when they spoke about "20-a-season strikers", we have none. Neither do Man Utd. I didn't say they did. I said WE didn't, in response to the pile of ridiculousness above. Ah yes sorry, I stand corrected. I don't see it as a problem though, 20 league goal strikers are more or less a thing of the past in the Premiership.

Cheers. Thank Gemmill, he posted it over on Toontastic..

All clubs use pre-season friendlies to play the kids as well. Stop being such a bunch of tarts.

Harper Lough - Huntington - Ramage - Edgar Troisi - Geremi - Pattison - Charlie Oba - Carroll Looks about right? Is Lough a right back?

More good news re: our match. Pogatetz will also miss the start of the season, meaning their first four choice CBs are all crocked and they'll start the season with Wheater (who is very poor) and Davies at CB.

Milner been given some new legs like?

Not really. We'd be one of the slowest teams around for a start.

Vic has his arse handed to him again. There's a change!

Cheers Tom.

I've been taking the piss out my Smoggie mate for weeks after it looked like our interest was dead and they were in for him. I'll keep me mouth shut in future.

They've paid nearly £7m for Rossi.
