Keegan/Shearer

good suggestion...and good manager of course.

Mourinho never got a crisis club out of the shit. In any country he trained with one of the best (if not the best) teams... Not that I am saying he's not able to turn things round, but for me it's all but guaranteed!

Got a feeling that he's trying to get Hitzfeld... :-( But still think he'll take over as Manager of the Swiss National Side! I think MA will decide as a supporter somehow. Think he really wants entertainment in the Keegan fashion - the same as most of the supporters. Got faith in MA so far. Hope it will not be a British manager...

Sorry, but Taylor wouldn't start in any of the mentioned 4 teams...

I knew that. We English are actually very good at other languages: most know at least 6 but we pretend we don't just to piss people off. :-)))

:-) Not that I like to watch defensive football - but isn't that where we need to improve first up? Get it right in defence first and then think about attacking? or am I just too conservative? You need to be taken out back and a high calibre gun taken to your head and be put out of your misery. blueyes.gif

Don't slate me, but I always thought that Lee is not a bad player?!?!? :-/

Better than Martins? If you say so... :-/

In your dreams mate. Not only is Berbatov better then Keane but so is Steed and Ledley and i would also like to See Bent start ahead of him sometimes. Im glad someone said this because sorry Robbie Keanes way overated!Ok so he scores alot of pens...well used to anyways!But he can be such a frustuating player when things dont go his way!He stands around with his hand on his hips! Anyways Defoe...depends on price if we get him around the 5mil mark then yes cos theres no doubting hes a quality striker but we should be looking for creative and right sided midfielder first! totally agree here about Robbie Keane...

First time in a long while that i agree with Ne5. What we need is someone who makes things happen in midfield and gets stuck in, Nolan does both. Not that i don't like players that stuck in, but I don't want a team full of these character... How boring would it be!

Aye, would still need some creativity alongside him but he's different class to what we have in central midfield. yes, a creative force would be nice... :-)

Man City or Villa i suppose...

like one of those CK models...

and which Smith games were canny?

Linked to the oldest two I could find with "Alan Smith" in the subject, if you can supply me a different link though I'll have a butchers and accept peoples disgust. It's only Geremi who's truly dissappointed me o0n the pitch from Sam's signings though. What about Viduka and Smith? Barton? Oh come on... Only Smith has played enough games to make a judgement out of those (though some of viuduka's touches have been class when he has had the ball at his feet). Smith hasn't been great, but he's had a few canny games, Geremi has been godawful since the opening day of the season though. So, why do you mention the new singnings then? Only Smith and Geremi are signings? Then it is easy to say that only one (of two signings) has been wrong... Wait for the prove of the others. :-)

I would do the same... :-)

I still wonder why Viduka never gets slated on here. He never lived up to the expectations...

Yeah right... that comes from that shite chocolate in those fucking cuckoo-clocks!

...like every girl gets hotter with every drink...

Absolutely, similar thing happens with Harper imo too. People think he's better than he is when he doesn't play. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. Still

He is. He showed it for Turkey (and Inter) several times. It is SA who's not able to get the best out of him (or the system he plays). He's not a pure playmaker, but he would be more creative in any other team under another manager, i'd say. Lets not put that one onto Allardyce alone - Souness and Roeder have also failed to get the best out Emre. Was he not supposed to be known as the 'Turkish David Beckham' Perhaps he deserves more chances than he's had under Allardyce (so far), but two previous managers have also failed to get consistent performances from the 'lil turk! Didn't say it was only under SA. Same thing with Souness and Roeder. Thats the saddest fact, because people thought SA should be a better manager... :-(

Yeah, sure :-)
