Where's our next goal coming from? Probably the same source as the perfectly legal disallowed goal. We're counting on Swartzer dropping the ball again?

Milner for Butt.

Shut up FFS

Emre's provided nothing.

Hold on. Smith's playing? Much better than Owen, or any of our midfielders. He'll no doubt get singled out again though.

Hmmm. I'd think creativity is the main issue.

Both. I'm talking about players who were bought for the future in general. I always think there's a lot more satisfaction in seeing 'one of your own' come through. In the future, it's going to be harder to get top quality kids unless they've come through your Academy as anyone with ability will already have been snapped up by a bigger fish. Of course there will be some that will slip through the system to resurface later, but I would be surprised if they will be as prevelant as they have been in the past. Supposedly, Lyon has managed to stay on top in France by snapping up quality young players (not Academy players) from all over Ligue 1. Year after year, they buy young, play them for a season or two and turn around and sell them at exorbitant prices. Not bad business being the middleman. Or so that's what I'd read somewhere.

yeah, but Viana is another one who would really benefit from Keegan.

When did LuaLua, Forster, Edgar, and Carroll come in? I'm trying to figure out who deserves kudos / blame. Robson's youth signing seem to be the only ones to contribute any thing at all (so far): Taylor. Milner. N’Zogbia.

Rozehnal's position was tenuous from the start. He was the first defender Allardyce brought in and with each new signing (Geremi, Cacapa, Beye, Faye) he dropped a place in the pecking order. He wanted to play football instead of sitting on the bench. He'd never be anything other than a squad player here -- even if we are a midtable club at the moment. Good luck to him.

Geremi? Cameroon qualified for the knockout stages; he's still there. Don't know what country I thought he played for.

Geremi?

If the Africans are back.... - Given - Beye - Faye - Cacapa - Enrique Milner - Barton - Emre - N'Zogbia - Owen - Viduka -

Wait, whose leg is that?

Three: Beye, Geremi, Carr. But I agree doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

nah, they're obviously "fag hags".

We've got two top defenders coming in from Africa [better than what we have] this next week. Also, lining up a pacy striker to follow soon after. Real young with bags of potential. Trust me, I'm ITK.

Nearly shit myself when I saw that Spurs had signed "Gilberto". SSN bastards.

Ramage will be back soon!

Ghana, I think.

Agree with ChezGiven, Ok, so he wasn't good enough. Doesn't really deserve to be loathed. Let's hope that we bring in someone better suited to the English game. Best of luck to him in Italy

Worth a punt?

avatartastic!
