was restricted to about 11,000 i think as Darlo couldn't get a security certificate for a higher crowd. Think the crowd was a 50/50 split n all. Absolute white elephant of a stadium, don't even have any concerts or anything there to use it as an alternative venue
Yes he is far better than either of the muppets in your sig,especially the latter.
King a muppet?
Good player, wank injury record. Can't base a defence or team around him due to this, much like previously you couldn;t build a team around Woodgate.
only problem with this requesting of a creative midfielder is that we return to a 4-3-3 as more than likely the traditional playmaker doesn't want to put their foot in as they would need to a lot more often shud they be included in a 4-4-2 its only really Fabregas and Scholes that would fit the 4-4-2 sys whereas a Diego/Riquelme/Deco would have to play in a 3man midfield which we don't have the wide players for.
Good call on Dave Bentley altho it'd take £8m+ i'd imagine to secure him. Could also operate as the playmaker in the 3man midfield if so desired by BSA.
We could definitely spme1 pacey if we do sign a RW, gives the side a different look/option aside from Jimmy.
Think this thread also has to consider potential re-sale value. Many of the people mentioned (Smith, Gordon, Yakubu and maybe Bent to an extent) would re-pay their fees or at least a large chunks if they were sold at the end of the season.
Have to ex-Sunderland and mobile phone star Ben Alnwick in goal. If he plays be the first time ive seen someone i went to school with play professional football.
Giggs
Most good teams do that, you don't see anyone questioning Ferguson when Ronaldo and Giggs swap sides do you?
It's different when your wingers are world class and far more ambidextrous than ours!
Giggs is one of the most one footed players going. Not remember when he used his right foot to sky the open goal versus Arsenal a while back in the cup?
Feyenoord got thrown out last year so you never know.
Find the whole thing very amusing though, great way to ruin beating the european champions, be even funnier if the bloke turns out to be a Rangers fan or something.
Looking at PNE's 4 other strikership (for championship standard look alreet) it would seem he may struggle to get back in the team, would've been better off going somewhere where he would def at least get on the bench.
safe to say id be very suprised if out battle Everton in midfield with the smith,butt + geremi midfield, need to outplay them instead with quick one touch play otherwise we are playing into their hands so need to play 4-4-2 with 2 out and out wingmen.
