  1. Would take brown, wouldnt touch Luke Young.
  2. Got a long way to go yet. really glad for him yesterday, my god is he ever quick its scary. One down point is certainly his positioning, he still needs to learn to make the right runs, he backs off a bit when he should be forging forward into space at times and doesnt attack the penalty box as much as he should when balls are coming in. He is certainly improving though and the goals will help that.

    Babayaro

    At the risk of getting a slap, he played reasonably well yesterday. Made one fantastic challenge half way up the pitch and no one was more visibly delighted when we scored. More of the same for me if he is going to be staying past january.
  4. He was almost as bad as Steven Carr yesterday. Why the hell Barcelona, Chelsea, Manure and Liverpool have all been linked with him i will never know. The Blackburn fans are already counting down the days before he goes, he a bully, that fouls and hits the long ball all game. On the up they do say he has an amazing fitness level.
  5. Depends on how they have severed his contract and if there are any clauses. If he is un-attached then im sure we are allowed to play him. Might well be a good guy to have around the club as cover, whether he could handle the premiership this late in his career though is debatable.
  6. Didnt think he was up to much myself to be honest. But his effort levels werent ever in question, he was a bit over enthusiastic if anything and was sloppy on the ball. He barely had time to get into the game though and gave martins a chance he should have really converted before we got our third.
  7. Ashton would be about the best we could buy from this league, i dont see it happening though. There are loads of Rumours flying round as their would be at this stage of the season. Kevin Davies is on his way aswell if you listen to the rumour mill.
  8. Depends very much on Bramble. If we are cutting out losses then we need two CBs in. Distin is a must have for me bramble or no bramble. Curtis Davies would be a great addition alongside him aswell. But unlikely there are alot bigger clubs after him and he wouldnt be cheap. Baines Id actually prefer him to bridge tbh. Although the experience Bridge has would be more beneficial plus we do have a good track record of ruining decent defenders. That aside Baines offers more going forward than Bridge IMO and is younger with more potential. Lucas Neill Would be a very solid addition although we are unlikely to get him, not least due to the fact Roeder actually rates Carr and doesnt want a RB, but also due to the suprisingly big clubs already looking at him. As for the striker situation its a hard call. We certainly need someone in the mould of Viduka, Beattie or Davies role, as good a scratch job as sibbers is doing we need better to compliment our pace and skill. Out of that group I would probably take James Beattie, he still has some years on him and a change would do him a world of good he is as good a finisher as Viduka can be but has more heart. Given the right surroundings and a decent price I wouldnt mind adding him to the team. If we are going for heart a very unlikely target but someone im a growing fan of is Samaras at Man City. Since his debut against us he is always hungry and has a great eye for goal. More than probably not available though or likely to cost as much as the next guy.... Darren Bent- would be a great buy, an upgrade on ameobi strong and a midpoint between what we have and what we need. probably too expensive though and i would blame Glenn for looking on the continent for a player that would bring us just as much if not more for a quarter of the price. Which would bring you to all manner of names, although im sure we will try going for one of our ex targets with Klose even if it is very much an unrequainted love. You cant argue with the positions we need though (RB) LB CB and two strikers.
  9. Why risk injured players, especially when it would cause more damage. And what would that say to all the younger players/reserves trying to get into the team if we would rather play players that are injured? Im happy to have Dyer and Parker left out if it means they are 100% for the weekend. We dont have the squad to gamble on injuries at the moment.
  10. Tough draw. potential banana skin, but we could have got worse.
  11. would be a good signing alongside a Viduka, Beattie, Davies type. Like i said earlier i think he fits in somewhere between what we have and what we need. We are crying out for a bully up front, no-one we have can bully defenders as the likes of Shearer, Ferdinand and Ferguson did. We be delighted if we signed him but for the price he will cost us i think we could do alot better for our needs.
  12. Wonder if we will reignite our unrequainted love for Farfan and Klose in January?
  13. He and reported Roeder Target Koren are available on Free's now. Guess if we were ever interested we might see them on trial imminently.
  14. http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=432772&CPID=8&clid=1&lid=2&title=Fergie+bemoans+Rossi+plight Ferguson has already agreed a deal to bring Henrik Larsson to the club in the New Year, but is still mulling over another bid for Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves. He added: "I don't know what the situation is. "I have read some things about his injury, but you never usually get the full story that way. "Besides, I don't want to upset those poor Germans. They are very fragile." To**er calling the germans w*nkers tbh.
  15. We have Pearson and Roeder for that in fairness, both were good players in their day at the back. We do need experience, but I think we need someone better and more experienced than pressley.
  16. Milner is the gimp. Unless we are planning on bringing in SWP's i see no point in getting rid of Milner. Getting rid of Carr would be fantastic, but i dont think we are in the market for another RB. Bent would be decent if we got a decent price for him and brought another striker that is big and strong and can hold up the ball. Bents someone thats in the middle of what we want and what we have. Power, pace and decent in the air, but not the Owens/Martin Type nor the Shearer/Ferdinand type we are lacking. An upgrade on Shola, but a very expensive one.
  17. I want to see us sign Wangner Love. Just for fun.
  18. To be fair, I dont think i would have started him many more games. He is the youngest and least experienced of all the players that could start upfront for us. I cant believe Ferguson expect Rossi to be starting every week, as ideal as it might have been for him. He certainly would have played more than double the amount of games if he was allowed to play for us in Europe.
  19. Where's Nicky Butt? :confused:
  20. Arteta has being playing central midfield for Everton for ages, whilst he can play on the flanks he is a central midfielder. like i said, if joe cole wanted to come here and chelsea were willing to let him go he would be here.
  21. If we are signing a midfielder it has to be an attacking central one because we simply dont have any. Joe cole would be an option if he wanted to come here and chelsea wouldnt mind letting him go. Sidwell would be a great bet. Arteta and Nolan would be good aswell, but neither are available or affordable.

    Upson

    Rather have distin for half the price, better than upson aswell.
  23. The Loan is surely Anal trying to push his SWP's theories to the hilt. I suppose we could struggle to the season end with Solano, Ramage, Taylor and Carr all capable of babysitting the position. If we get a LB, CB and two strikers i will be very pleased. Especially if we can snare Distin as the CB.
  24. Strange one, but will be a decent signing. Will play exactly the role Shearer should have played for us in his last year or so. He is still one of the best players around in the air, add the service he will be given at Manure and he will be great coming on for the last 20/30mins of a match. He can hold the ball up well and will be good against tiring teams. Still Bizzare considering they could surely sign someone younger and better all-round in January.
