Would be physically sick if we spend money on Carlton Cole. As a footballer he is a guttless, talentless, spineless, Waste of skin.

This club has gone in cycles for the last 10 years and I can confidently say that Option 2 is most likely. Never underestimate the potential for disaster when Mike Ashley is here. Most likely Ashley will shock us with a 15-20m decent signing..pick a few freebies up things will be looking up with everyone happy then we will sell Enrique, Tiote and give Alan Smith a new five year contract.

Anyone have Taye Taiwo's number? Get it done.

Whatcha gonna do when Kuqis name comes up? (not in a Hulk Hogan kind of way, although ripping your shirt up would be understandable)

This mainly. He just doesnt have the presence or x-factor. The attributes mentioned earlier are fair, he is average to good alround and will chip in while the chances are being created. Dont see much about him that says he can dominate, create somthing out of nothing and change a game though. Happy to be wrong about him, he is motivated and hungry to improve and succeed and he is still young. I dont know where he fits in past this summer though. He doesnt offer enough different to be an impact sub and he clearly wont accept being a squad player (which is a good thing).

Probably waiting like Enrique to see if we are safe and what the clubs intent is over the summer. I would. Its also possible that the club is waiting to use it as a PR boost too. If he is going to sign it why not wait until we can use that as a morale boost. I think they will both sign if we finish well. Doesnt mean we wont sell both.

I would echo the thoughts on here that Woodgate is one of the best CB's I have ever seen play for us. Also I completely agree he changed the side when he played. The back four was completely different with/without him. He was a true leader who added calm and organized the back. He worked well with bramble sweeping up any mistakes and letting bramble sit a little higher. Woodgate was truley immense when fit for us. Colo doesnt inspire as much confidence although he is brimming with it right now. He is increasingly better on the ball and much more of a flair player than Woodgate, his runs forward against Blackburn and Birmingham were immense. There is however more chance of seeing a him drop a clanger than Woodgate, Colo takes alot more risks. Woodgate would make more last ditch well timed tackles, but that could be a sign of how much pressure we were under back then. Williamson is a poor mans Woodgate, he uses his brain, plays to his strengths, keeps its simple and anticipates danger pretty well. He is a good match with Colo for keeping the calm, although he lacks the pace to really accel past this level imo. Colo has been a rock this season and proved all his doubters wrong. He certatinly still has time to improve aswell. He is quite different to Woodgate though so the comparison is a little tainted. Obviously given Woodgates injury problems no-one would want him ahead of Colo, but when fit at his peak there were few better I have seen. Colo Woodgate as a partnership would be a more acceptable discussion. Comparisons by careers to Ferdinand have no basis for argument but at their best I would pick Woodgate. I am biased though.

Been solid, not particularly classy but I think that side will improve with his confidence in the game. Quick and can cross. If he keeps developing at the rate he has the past year England representatives will surely be taking a look.

Campbell out then go all out to get Samba or someone that can play DM and CB as cover for Tiotes inevitable suspension. Kill two birds with one stone.

Cracking win. Well earnt, we barely gave the brummies a sniff. Vital three point. Big chance to seal our position in the premier league for next year over the next few games.

One thing we have to do about it in the summer is find someone that isnt Perch or Smith to fill in for him when he is unavailable.

If we keep hold of Tiote, Jose and Barton and spend wisely we can have a cracking team next season. Europe is a definate possibility. Willow had a belter today but keeping the spine of the team in Colo, Jose, Barton and Tiote and adding a couple of quality strikers we will be looking good.

Cracking move, similar to his header that hit the bar. Deserved a goal both times..would have been a stormer had it gone in.

The man gets better every game! We better be looking into snapping Taye Taiwo up this summer.. better not be selling for a penny less than 16m either.

Tbh I think we are better if he gets booked Tuesday and misses the home games, we will need him more for Stoke away.

Thats a cracking result for Blackburn like. Two points dropped from us. Some fantastic play though. Whole team played well. Movement from Best and Lovenkrands = excellent Finishing and ability to do anything useful in the final third = terrible Enrique, Tiote, Colo, Jonas, Barton were all immense.

Come on.. this time.. PLEASE!

Turned into turbo shit the past 10 minutes. Enrique is sooooo out of here in the summer!

Ranger puts the shits up Samba.

HANDBAGS

Finally Enrique gets too adventurous!

This. Its madness.

HOW ARE WE NOT WINNING!

To be fair thats Nolans territory and he is no where to be seen.

FUCKING BEST!
