The College Dropout

We have to keep Willo now surely. Reckon we will bring in at least noe experienced PL player.

especiallt with all this talk of Cabaye/Siss/Marv midfield. Cisse up top. Colo-Map at the back = weakest spine in the division.

But aye strength is another big thing. Mapou is quick but that's the only complimentary attribute he has to Colo from what i've seen.

Apparently Colo is 6'0 and Sir Les is 5'10. Like Colo, i'd consider Mapou pretty weak in the air.

Christ, how porous would that be... Agree with this. I think it's two from those three, depending on form.

Mapou has impressed most at full back. A Mapou/Colo defence, in an already short team looks very naive.

..and would also leave Santon open to getting ripped apart every game. Jonas goes then fine, but then we need an experienced proper left back. Santon can learn how to defend. Or be dropped for Haidara/Mbiwa

He tried Marveaux wide a good few times and those brought his worst performances. Everton and Spurs away spring to mind.

Like I said before - if you buy a young English player. While the value is inflated, as long as they show some promise that inflated value remains until at least their mid 20's. 6m for Shelvey is an example.

We need to sign purples mate. Not players to "compete".

Darren Bent and Papiss Cisse in the same team ffs.

Darren Bent is not going to be on back-up wages man. He'll earn at least 40k.

It'll be 4-4-2. Yep.

Aye, Perch is barely a Premiership player ffs. Would be terrible if we sold Marveaux like.

I don't get this. We've only sold James Perch who is legitimately only decent in a position where there's 6 better alternatives. I'll only be concerned if we sell Willo and Marveaux. Tbh if we did sign Bent, i'd rather we sold Cisse.

Horrible idea. We already have a Darren Bent style player on the books. We certainly don't need two.

Money. He likes to make it and use it. He's getting on and isn't interested in taking 4-5 years to build a club like a Lambert which is fair. Give him the money like he had at Spurs and Pompey and he believes he'll win things and challenge for Europe. He's not interested in the Fulham type roles. Couple in with his love of the south coast. He's pretty much limited for teams to manage too. The QPR move made since when you factor in those regulations.

I met an African American man/German married couple on holiday. Socks.

bigi has potential and needs to play, either for us or on loan. If Perch was still getting picked over Aniat next season we would all be crying on here.

Really don't think goals is a problem with Cabaye. 5 is a decent return in the PL A team should be starting with a minimum of 3 attackers - probably 4. Those attackers should get 40 goals between them. that's where we fall short.

Agreed. Perch probably played too many matches ahead of other lads.

Neither has Shola, scored shitloads of important goals I am talking about this season. Perch has been far more useful IMO. Goes without saying shola has scored some very important goals for us, just as Williamson was pivotal in our return to the premiership. Neither are good enough for what we need now and going forward. The versatility of perch alone makes him more useful IMO. That's very short sighted. In a good season Perch has never been more than a stop gap. Williamson has been a regular. Shola.. he's Shola.

Williamson has not contributed less than Perch.

Then it's DM for him.

Bigi can pass more than 5 yards. I don't think Bigi is a DM. Dare say, if his name was Johnny Whitehead, he would be told to model his game after Steven Gerrard or someone. His biggest attribute seems to be his technical skills and long range passing.
