La Parka

Not really. One is Dowie and the other is Kuijt.

So Cause they're s*** and are playing over their heads? On the other hand, I couldn't have told you much about Reading before this season. As s*** as the are, they'll stay up. Their home record will be canny next season. Fulham, Wigan and the play-off winners will go down. (Seems harsh to write them off before the season has started but can't see WBA or Derby staying up) fully agree with your relegation tips there. Sounds about right to me also.

Defenders Right so he's got all the basics to become a top defender. What's the problem? He's still got another 5 years learning the game before he reaches his peak. 10 before he should reach his peak tbh Not sure about that one mind... At 31 he'll have the experience and should be reading the game much better than he does now. However, after 11 seasons in the physically hardest league in the world, his legs will probably have gone. Any pace he may have had to get him out of trouble will have gone too. It's not his fault but (potentially) 400 games down the line - he'll be on the way down, sadly. Defenders peak late 20s to early 30s tbh. He has many attributes which could lead to him becoming a solid center-back for NUFC. If you look at his rivals in the u21's: Anton Ferdinand, Liam Ridgewell etc they all are error prone as each other. Experience will boost his decision making and good training could mould him into a good defender.

Both made of metal now so little chance of that happening again. If he is cheap he is worth the risk IMO.

Thats the England shirt pretty much.

Cant wait to see more of Krul! Sound like a great prospect and the person to take over from Shay no doubt.

Nice one. Milner should be in there like.

Maybe Sam could be enough to inspire him..

he looks like a really good player. I think Wenger has him in his future plans or something. A loan would be nice though You are right though he does look a player. However he has so many talented players ahead of him in both center back and midfield positions..

Agree he can be pretty solid. Error prone on occasion but not to the extent some people are implying on here. Would be worth it tbh. He was very solid in the world cup. Although if we are looking at Arsenal Song is possibly the most realistic acquisition.

I wear it whenever I need to wear a T-Shirt.

replacement for Torres? after all... http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/5518/browncopy3ffld5.png Torres to Arsenal IMO.

You haven't got a clue. Woodgate and Taylor played in the same team together once at Bolton and Taylor actually played at Right back and cost a goal. In his debut too. Get off his back you tits. Its obvious he is one of very few players who actually gives a shit. Of course you know people will bite but fuck it.

Maybe they'd give us Flamini in exchange, he was quoted earlier in the season saying he wanted to leave. As for Fred's comments, I don't see why this needs to be a public matter, we've got to start dealing with matters like this in private. Yes please!

Great move! Big Sam!

North east? I don't really know where to put leeds.. North middle

Agree 100%.

Yeah hopefully Sam will crush the Irish Mafia in the club

Sam asked Freddy to crack open the war chest, Freddy thought he said wor chest. Quality Hahahaa top

Doesn't bother me to be honest. People can support who the fook they like.

For once it appears he did something right!

Aye, also the lack of a goalscorer at times. Unlucky to loose enry and Van Persie for most of the season and Julio Baps was pretty woeful.
