Hit a purple patch tbh.

:violent

Meh, in the same way we are still gutted we blew our 9 point lead that cost us the title, get over it, its in the past.. way in the past.

Just the usual press speculation from foreign papers knowing we need a defender and picking a half decent one for us to be linked with. Will do the rounds and come back here in a few days time reported by SSN and Teamsqwark and eventually denied by Anal, possibly even Roeder if we are lucky.

So let me get this straight... we knew "all about him and his playing record", were in deep negotiations with his club to bring him here with a view to a loan. Now he isnt coming because we actually didnt know anything about him at all? The mind boggles. to be fair, im sure fat fred had never heard of him.

Oh aye, you little tart.

Has anyone actually said this Serbian Guy is the same guy we were close to signing? Other than conjecture. We have been linked with 3 players today that have played some kind of international football. Just because this link surfaces now doesnt mean he is the guy we were talking about yesterday. Why the guarded secret, he is hardly in demand.

Yeah but is he any good? Im not getting my hopes up about him coming here either way. Just glad its not Dailly!

love heinze here, although its mooted to be a CB, Heinze cant play there.

More chance of Dailly than Andrade. But why the hell would we be secretive about Dailly? its not as if we are stealing march on anyone.

Why would they recall him to loan him to us? Woodgate chose them anyway! Would be amusing though. The articles Imply we are taking him on loan with a view to buying, but despite saying they know all about him and his career, roeder still wants to look at him on loan rather than buy him. So id go for either someone who is out of favour with a question mark above his head or someone that hasnt played in the premiership, although the latter doesnt really play with Roeders normal ideals, nor the first. Either way it will probably end up being someone no one expects or wants, or someone amazing if it falls through.

Would be a monster here, but i think theres more chance of getting Andrade, and my feeling is neither will wearing a black and white shirt come February. Bring on the Baines, im suprised there has been very little mention of him this window. Wigan wont sell before the summer IMO, to be honest I havent seen much of him during the past couple of months. Does anyone know how he has been playing in Wigans dramatic slide?

Werent we linked with "Gooch" a year or two ago? Could have sworn we tried to take him on trial.

Guess you can dress it up however much you want, but why would we/Roeder know all about this Berner guy and his career. Sounds like either someone we have played in Europe/Premiership or someone that has a famous career.

Wouldnt be too upset with Silvestre, he is versatile and better than what we have. Not mind blowing though. We can all dream of Andrade. Either way lets hope it comes off. We dont normally put this kind of stuff on the website unless we are pretty confident. Who knows?

Seems more like they are testing the water with his hip, I wouldnt be getting too excited. Regardless he wont be back before Babayaro whos should be back for Fulham.

would take him until the end of the season. Not the type of player Roeder is looking at unfortunately though.

Thought he was finished. Good news, although I doubt he will ever get close to the first team again. So much for Bramble and Luque getting a run out!

Selling Duff would be ridiculous. He will be a huge player for us, I cant believe people have written him off already. Fickle doesnt even come into it.

maybe it depends on which permenant transfers he can get. If he doesnt manage to get certain players in certain positions then he will have to loan a player in that position. whats to say he doesnt have an option on loan for each position. (other than our knowledge of past dealings at the club!)

Good luck to the lad, read there was a sell on clause, would have been suprised if there wasnt, releasing him early from his contract.

Butt followed by Milner then Solano. Some of Solano's passing really defies belief at times, although for varying good/bad reasons. Butt looks like he is at his peak and has completely turned around what looked like the end of his career. Milner is finding his feet and getting better and better, but was also playing very well for villa last season. Solano deserves huge credit for the way he has taken the RB slot and made it his own and he adds flair, class and brains to our cave man defence. I do think as above his passing can be very erratic at times though, but he is in good company with that one.

Ramage to be fair, dont even argue sister.

Its an important point that needs to be realised. Bellamy brought much more creativity to the team, worked the flanks and had much more of a free role. Martins doesnt have that freedom, although he has much to learn, especially with regards to making and timing runs. This does play in our favour for when Owen returns though as the qualities he has shown now should and hopefully will gel with Owen as a strike partner. It would be interesting to see how Martins would operate alongside an out and out striker though. PS. Bellamy was very impressive in his first year, proving all his doubters wrong, although his finishing left much to be desired at times he was a breath of fresh air to our team, a genius move from SBR.

Will be a good experience for the kid. Glad we havent rushed him through, although the way Pattison and Ob are playing lately it might not be too far away.
