If we make the new signings for the defense right im much more positive than i have been before. Getting those 2-3 players for the defense right will improve our team very much. That would make the hole midfield better, well the hole team of course.....

I would MUCH rather take Viduka and spend the money we have for the summer on other positions. Quality players in defense would improve our team ALOT more than going for a expensive striker instead of Viduka who on a free would be a great deal for our club at the moment when you look at the situation we are in. Have to look at what's best for the team. Yes i would rather have someone younger playe as a striker for now and the future instead of Viduka. But that money is a better investment in other positions. I PROMISE that if we sign Viduka on a free and put the 5-10m a younger striker would cost (with quality) for extra quality in defense on top of what we have in our transfer kitty it will for sure result in us finishing higher in the league table.

Kluivert when he still was hungry would of been a perfect partner for Owen/Martins. And im not making any conclusions yet, but i REALLY find it hard to see it work with Owen and Martins upfront. We simply are not good enough at keeping posession and playing flowing football, not at this moment anyway, and probably not next either.

How is Heinze realistic? - He doesnt get a game for Manu. - Probably pissed that Evra (who is average) automaticly is 1. choise. And heinze never did anything wrong. - Wants to be a regular and a key player for a team. - Knows he'll be appreciated by the fans. - If Man U get Bale, he might (MIGHT) end up as 3. choise LB - As Y-G said, he'll be available for a few million, as Man u dont want him. Evra average? kidding me?? He didn't have a good start but has been playing really well lately (before he got injured)

Would love him here, strong as hell and has one hell of a left foot. Strong with his head inside the penalty area. But not going to happen though =( but interesting idea..

2-2

I just hope that we dont try a gameplan that we cant play. We will get punished if we sit back too much of the game. Let them worry about us, We dont have the players or are organised enough to play deep and sit back too much of the game.. We will almost for sure have to score a goal or two to advance, thats what i believe anyway..

He has started for inter lately as far as i know.

Is he really that good? I have not seen much of him myself. But is he value for money if you look at how much he would cost?

3 goals to go through

I would also look abroad for players.

Warnock went for something like 1.5 mil to Blackburn in January. He would have been a good buy IMO. Reasonably priced, experienced in England. I'm not sure if I agree about looking abroad. Young players like Bale will go for ridiculous money, but there are other options. Nicky Shorey has performed very well this year and would go for a lot less because he isn't in his teens. I'd rather have someone proven in the league. Even fullbacks that are rather decent/average by Premiership standards (Bocanegra, Lauren, Nicky Hunt) would be a vast improvement on playing someone past it like Carr or Academy centre-halves. We don't need world beaters, just Premiership capable defenders. We wont get any "world beaters" But i would rather go for real quality than buy one of those that you mentioned and after a season or two going for a new player again. I say sign players for now and for the future.. Instead of going for players that "just is better than what we have atm" If we dont go for players that will improve our team alot for now and in the future we will just have to live with being a loooooong way from the top four

I have been thinking about fullbacks for quite a long time now, Does anyone have any fullbacks for NUFC in mind? I feel that Solano should be playing there att RB next season and invest that money elsewhere instead as i think he can do a more than a good job in that position as he has done so far this season. I feel that we should look abroad and see if we can find a quality player that isn't too overpriced like some brittish players.

thought it worked brilliantly tonight mind against a weak (physically not technically) opposition. probably more by luck than judgement, but i'd play the same midfield in holland. Parker done OK tonight but it's got to be Emre/Butt IMO. If fit. :thup: :thup: :thup:

Great crosser?? OK he has made some great crosses, But how many of his crosses hasn't been piss poor?

The thing with Martins is that he can show great technique and sometimes his touches look very poor. But he still scores goals He will only get even better with time..is it 16 goals so far? thats quite amazing when it's his first season with Newcastle and that the team hasn't been doing that well for the most of the season..

Good age and out the first team picture according to some friends here in Sweden who support Bayern. Is good in the air and has some skill. Could go quite cheap. Has experience. He did well before his injury last year (his knee i think it was). He was on his way of getting his real breakthrough i can remember from what i've read at different sports sites on the web. Would complement both Owen and Martins really well.

I have never seen any team play so little through the midfield as we have done many times this season. We never play it around like we should (not many times anyway) Of course it is not all about the midfield, but quite alot.... Even the most worse teams can do it...

Its usually the other way round, stress burning calories, but not doubt what you say can happen, the body is a complex thing. Yes a complex thing for sure....But quite interesting to read about how the body works really..

It doesn't only depend on what he's eating and how much training he does. When a person is under big pressure and living with alot of stress the body can produce the hormone kortisol (dont know how it spells in english) which affects the bodys natural burning of the bodyfat which results in higher BF..

Well now i know about that!!!!

Cant say for sure. I dont know about him as a manager. But i could imagine that he's good at motivating the players getting them to work hard. Maybe he's got other skills as a manager also, but i dont know about that as i said before. But just motivating the players is not enough to be a "top" club manager imo..

At the same place you must of meant? I have seen lightning strike many times No but seriously, im not sure which team i would rather have..Have not seen much of AZ tbh..

Kaka easily.....Defenders dont cost as much as other positions...

Yes he might develope into one, But he needs qualityplayers around him now to make that even further step forward..
