More of a Cafu in all honesty, a real box-to-box player from what I've seen.

That's cos you're a chunky fucker. Got a bit of pace for a fatty tbf Downhill only I assume?

"Stay out of my way... or you'll pay. Listen to what I say" "Or how about I just go lay by the bay and make things out of clay. I just may. Whadd'ya say?"

Honestly can't say I know a fantastic amount about Drago. John Terry was considered quite error prone not too long ago, but I'll bet Chelsea don't regret sticking with him at CB even when he was. If the defence is playing well in general and Taylor is still making a lot of mistakes in a few months then I'd reiew his postion in the first team. But he deserves a go there with better players around him first, as he looks to have all the tools needed to be a world class CB eventually. I think trying to compare Taylors situation to that of Terry's is going to the extreme, for starters Terry only moved up to the next level when Chelsea spent big to put excellent players around him, you're talking about still playing Stephen Carr to the right of him. I just don't agree he should be automatic first choice at the expense of better players, some people are making out (not you btw) he was some sort of World beater last season which is far from the truth. I'd never advocate anyone being an automatic starter, just that I feel it's Taylor's job to lose at this point. Skeletor, I believe in ruling out Curtis Davies Sam said he wouldn't want two young, inexperienced CB's starting. This makes sense, but to me says that Allardyce expects Taylor to start more often than not, which is why he'll always need an experienced head beside him. Time will tell, I suppose.

He has a lot to learn, I'd agree. This is why we'be brought in Cacapa (vastly experienced) and Rozenhal (noted for his calmness on the field) to aid his development. With one of thse two organising the defence it will leave Taylor to be the all-action defender he seems destined to be. We've got a fantastic young CB prospect on our hands, and a hometown boy to boot, I just don't see how he won't be made the centerpiece of our defence. Can'tt seee Taylor learning a great deal as a CB by being stranded at full-back. Rozehnal and Cacapa were not brought in solely to aid Taylors development. They've been brought in to play out right as first choice players. Like anyone could possibly know that Skeletor. There'll be competition for the spot I'm sure, and if Cacapa and Rozenhal prove in training that they're the partnership for the job then more power to them. But I don't believe for one second that Taylor won't be given the chance to prove he's worthy of being a regular first. No-one said he won't, but you talk as though Taylor is first choice by default and these defenders are only being brought in to teach him rather than compete with him. Unless he struggles I do see him being the first CB name on the teamsheet tbh.

Golf > Jonny2J Also those of us living in Ireland get a 3Pm kick-off game live as well every Saturday, staring with Bolton v Newcastle next weekend.

Better than the bench which is where he would be if we signed Dragutinovic. Taylor will be our first choice CB when fit, IMO. More likely Drago will find himself on the bench tbh.

Will you shoot big sam when he does it? No, because he won't. Barring severe injury problems of course.

When I was subscribing I got through to the most unhelpful fella ever. Me : How can I actually get coonected? Him : You can do it online or over the phone Me: Oh right, can I do it over the phone then? Him: Yes *Awkward Silence* Me: ... is that not what you're here for then? Ended up hanging up not long afterwards, then off to my computer to try and do it online.

Anyone putting Taylor at RB needs to be shot, like.

Bolton line-up will be something like this IMO --------------- Given Carr -- Taylor -- Rozenhal -- Dragutinovic ---------------- Butt -------- Geremi -- Smith Milner ----------------------- Martins -------------- Viduka Will be a very physical game I would expect, exactly the type of game I'd expect Dargo is being bought to play LB in. Midfield should stand up well for themselves and all.

That sounds fucking class tbh.

I'd no problems getting connected with them tbh. Given that I'll get to watch our games with Bolton and Middlesbrough on Setanta in the coming weeks, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now. They also have the Villa game on, though I'll be at that one in person.

Congratulations Steve Bruce, you've just moved up a notch in my book. This puts you at Notch 1.

Sounds like a sauve motherfucker, get him in!

Staggering if true. I say we buy 2million worth of eggs and plaster the c*** with them. When he comes back to St. James' next year the reaction is going to be insane. Loudest, most hate-filled booing ever? I'd go just to boo him. It will be a great atmosphere, especially when Barton scythes him in half. Not that I'd wish in on anyone, but the possibility Dyer suffering a career ending injury at St. James' Park in front of a packed house, baying for blood, is quite alluring.

He'll play mostly as one of a 3-man center midfield in my opinion, filling in up front the odd time.

If we sign any 2 of Enrique, Baines and Drago then Babayaro should be shipped out immediately. If we sign Baines and Enriqie then yes, absolutely, as we'll have two specialist LB's at the club that are significantly better than Baba. But if it's Drago and one of Baines or Enrique, as I suspect, then I'm not adverse to keeping him as we may need Dargo to fill in at CB at times. Id be much more comfortable with Babayaro at LB in the event of an injury crisis than Ramage/Edgar. Having said that, though, we could potentially plug in N'Zogbia there. So I'm not arsed, either way.

How the fuck has he gotten through a full article on left-backs without mentioning Enrique?

Agree with that, I'd be happy with Shorey as a last resort but I don't think he's all that good if I'm being honest. Prefer someone younger... spicier. Posted this in the other thread but it's better off here. Be shocked if we're after Enrique and Baines, it'll be one or the other surely? Both seem very similiar, good young prospects at LB. I'm not much of a fan of rotation when it comes to your defence so I'd prefer we just chose one and went with him. We'll have Dragutinovic for depth, hopefully, and then Babayaro as 3rd choice. As for playing Enrique on the left of midfield, don't see that happening. Firstly, we'll probably play 4-3-3 a fair bit next year. Secondly, we have N'Zogbia and eventually Duff to play hat role. Milner as well is an option. Spend the money on a similiar RB instead, we'd be f****** laughing then.
