Nice piece of attacking play by Duff there.

Owen

Mike Dean shit ref.

Generally happy with this deal as we could potentially make a profit if Lazio take up the option to sign him but we should have brought in a replacement.

If he wants to go we should sell in the summer. If he does go I wont be too worried, he's not as great as some make out (though has a lot of potential). He has a tendency to hold onto the ball too long and then get closed down and tackled. We've got Duff so the positions covered. In the last couple of matches particularly Duff has looked a lot more effective than the Zogg (can't understand the low opinion some here have off Duff).

I thought he looked pretty quick.

If we sold I would expect us to make at least £5 Million on him. Come on he's a current England international (OK may not mean a lot currently) even they likes of James McFadden go for £6 Million. Make £5m or get £5m? Sorry, should have been get.

Not sure on this one. Great player but poor injury record. Some have mentioned he's played quite a few games for Boro but does that mean he's over his problems or he's just been really lucky lately? Lets just hope if this is true we don't blow to much money on him.

After all the jubilation a bit of a reality check.

Save by given

Should have scored ameobi

Nice through ball atempt by kazenga

Cant ameobi chest the ball without handballing it?

no flow to our play

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3014237,00.html Agent thinks still a possibility of a deal. Edit: Just saw Sicko2ndBest posted a similar story in the same thread, so not new news.

It's just not the press. I was watching "You're on Skysports" earlier and a supporter from Belfast called in to say how he would like Shearer in charge. This just perpetuates the belief that the majority of fans want the same.

Aldo Duscher I think it was.

Don't want Shearer, experienced proven manager everytime.

Believe most are basing their opinion on displays for the Croatian national team who's matches ( albeit limited) are televised (Sky Sports, Eurosports etc).

Whats to say the agent isn't just using us to drum up interest in his man or pressure another club to hurry a deal?

On a different note...I'm watching Argentina V Boilva on SS1 and the commentator said (don't know his source) that Riqulme is available for £3M. Thats bloody cheap for a player of his class! I'll have him here at that price.

isreal score

That was never a free kick that lead to the goal. Chellini barged in to Hutton and then gets awarded a freekick.
