That's true, but there really seems to be some substance this time
What would this substance be? It's an Alan Oliver article. Most probably bull shit.
Would love to have him though...
I have a pretty decent defense: Eboue-Carvalho-Samba-Evra with Faye, Khizanishvili, Volz and Hines in reserve.
Midfield: Dos Santos-Tainio-Xabi Alonso-Geovanni
And Elmander Alves upfront...
Kapo and Vaz Te most notable reserves in mid/for area.
Quite happy with team except no keepers I have Hilario and Foster
"The prospect of Smith playing as a solo striker has receding partially with news that Martins has now
returned from a visit to Nigeria and is keen to play."
Says nufc.com
btw. Why is Beye listed as a doubt on .com
