Parky, maybe a stupid question, but are you german? If so, is there any other german manager on the up? I dont watch german football that much so i have no clue ..

Wouldn't say massive, but yes he had a strong role, more on the training pitch. Klinsmann would probably want to bring him with him then, wouldnt he? Or am i mistaken if i say that löw is now managing germany? Klinsi has a myriad of contacts in the game if he wanted a No.2 it wouldn't have to be Low by any means. Van Basten is coming along nicely as well. He probably has. But i'd imagine he would want someone he has worked with in the past, and actually had success with. For some reason i dont like van Basten. Dont think he would be successful here anyway. Louis van Gaal?

I disagree with you. Both Klinsmann and Laudrup has tons of experience, playing top football not too long ago. Laudup did wonders in his own country (Bröndby, Denmark). Klinsmann, well, Germany went pretty long in the last World Cup, didnt they? I cant say i know all that about them, but what i do know is that they are both relatively young, they are still learning but most importantly, they know how to play good football.

I was a big fan of KK, still is, but no. I'd ask a counter question to your friend instead; How about £100 million to big Sam, three years of continuety (sp?) and then what?

I was for the appointment of Big Sam for all the obvious reasons stated before. Bolton, small club, tight budget but still managed to bring them up to the top half. But as someone said in another thread, he is one defeat (Stoke) away from being sacked. I want a manager with ideas rather than a manager with a tactic already in use. So to speak. Klinsmann. Laudrup. Or what about Fransisco Flores from Espanyol? He have them in third place of the Primera Division atm. Ahead of teams like, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Valencia. Someone who is not afraid of attacking style football and not just satisfied with containing the opposition. (Sorry if my english isnt up to standard. Its been a while since school here in sweden)

ditto. ditto. DITTO! ditto me too Ditto. ditto

I think that if Allardyce doesnt get the team going before christmas, then he's out. Ashley wont just sit around watching his team fall into a relegation battle, he knows that to much is at stake for that. His money, his choice, but we can all be pretty sure he already has a backup plan in mind. Be it Shearer as a caretaker manager until the summer, who knows. Time will tell. But im not supporting Allardyce, im supporting Newcastle United, and right now Allardyce is manager so im supporting him. Its not about the players or the manager, its about the club and the crest.

Malmö, Sweden.

Let say he does sign as expected, and we do want to sign Davies in the summer. Then we will be well stuffed in the centre back position with Taylor Gooch Ramage Huntington Moore Bramble Edgar? Anyone else? Moore we already know is most certain to leave, but who else? Taylor and Gooch for me will be starting. Bramble close behind, Ramage to go?

At the same time!? The filthy, yet freakishly talented, bastards.

Diarra? . I think it would have been Bridge, but Diarra could have been an option aswell considering he can play as a centre back.

Yes we do, if you are thinking of svenskafans and magpies.nu we do, unfortunately magpies.nu is closed due to problems with the website and such. But the forum works fine, though. Read somewhere in this thread that AIK is supposed to be the most followed team in sweden and to have the most loyal fans, that is just not true. Malmö FF, is the correct answer. blueyes.gif :winking: (Jari Litmanen and Jonatan Johansson is currently playing for Malmö FF, maybe we have a couple of finnish fans aswell? bluecool.gif)

Dont know if posted before but ; Spurs agree fee for new Huddlestone 09:13 January, 2, 2007 Tottenham have raided Derby County again, this time for Giles Barnes. Mail The FansFC Editor Send This Article To A Friend Post Your View on The Msg Board Tottenham have recruited another Ram, after having mixed success in the past with Championship recruits. Gregor Rasiak didn't succeed at Spurs, while Tom Huddlestone has impressed many with his 'Hoddlesque' displays. Spurs will hope they've unearthed another Huddlestone and will expect to get full value for money from the £2.5million they've splashed out for the 18-year-old. http://www.fansfc.com/frontpage/frontpagenews.asp?newsid=160930

There's a swedish one aswell, dont know if im allowed to post the link, but it sure does excist though. Currently under preparation due to some technical problems earlier.

I'd like that. Maybe Dyer and Duff could play a bit more on the wing tthough. ---Parker--Butt --Emre--- Dyer------------------------------------Duff -------Martins--------

Sven Göran Eriksson, Michael Laudrup, Jürgen Klinsmann. Fresh thinking aka Wenger. Never happen though bluesigh.gif

So this is why we're not winning any trophies! FS doesnt want to leave.. So he deliberatly pick managers who are tactically lost and in some cases just plain stupid (Souness.) ?

Bridge first, get a somewhat proven but not way to expensive player in. Then try signing a moore ish kind of defender (Ayala?) to get the younger ones i.e Taylor and Ramage to grow in to position. Maybe Ayala and perhaps Mexes (wishful thinking) but someone in that category. Young, still have time to develop and with potential. Lots of defenders on the bench in italy. Someone "forgotten" if yoy know what I mean.

But if we do sell Parker and Emre. our current centre-midfield partnership, and get two new in, wouldnt that be a major risk considering they need a certain time to understand eachother to play well? But I do agree about the other. Centreback, and atleast one fullback, left or right doesnt matter considering the current ones are piss poor anyway. Strikers is a must aswell thanks to Ameobis hip operation and Luques inability to get a game even though we have no strikers available except Sibierski (rossi to man utd in jan) . Davies? DAvies and Sibi upfront ? :roll: Martins better come back soon then. Point is, we shouldn't have to, especially since FS announced money is available in the next window. But if it meant selling one of them, or both to get a new defense in, am for it. Emre @ £8m...fuking hell, that sale would cover Bridge, Distin & a RB. Well I do agree, as long as we get a midfield partership that actually works. Because a solid back for doesnt help unless we have a midfield fighting aswell. Emre and Parker just doesnt work. Not for me it doesnt. Parker is a great player, but he isnt the defensive midfielder we need. And Butt is still a Man Utd player in his heart. Emre just doesnt perform on a regular basis. Emre at £8m? Bite their hands off. Bridge, Distin and RB will be covered. FS says we have money to spend, plus the possible money from a Luque sale, say about 3-4m, give or take, says we have about what, £10m tops? What striker(s) could we get? The partnership doesn't work, and that's why id sacrifice it for a class defense. Still think a Cassano / Luque swap should be tried, even a loan swap Batista/Reyes style would benefit both clubs. If Cassano settled, and liked it here, we'd have a worldclass player on our hands, but previous shows that probably wont be the case. Agree. Ronaldo?
