14th or 15th of March. Date will be confirmed nearer the time.

Fucking hell, pisses me off that we have to play him. He better play well tonight.

Think a group like yours will be nothing but good for the club, especially for cup matches when the ground can often be very quiet. Next time I come up for a cup match I may well sit with you guys.

No.

He's not gonna be back until the racism thing is cleared up.

Bale will only cost us £10m and we'd be adressing a key psoition.

Don't think he is closer to returning than we think. Can't see him back until Late April/Early May. I definetly can't see him leaving in the summer.

Bellamy burnt his bridges here. Don't forget he fell out with Terry Mac who is still here, Fat Fred was none to pleased with the way he conducted himself and I don't think senior players like Given were too happy with him either.

I might be wrong but I think the times LuaLua got on the bench Troisi was injured.

It could go either way really. It could make him work his bollocks off or it could inflate his ego making him think he's some sort of wonderkid and set him back in terms of progress.

Must be on the bench for thurs then, I notice Carroll didnt play either. Actually, the Reserves play on Tuesday so I presume they will both be starting that game and that is why they were rested on Saturday.

I only think we'll sign 2 or 3 players as I don't think we have that much money to spend. Think we'll have £20m at most and we'll go for quality rather than quantity.

Barnes is a right winger, not a right back and LuaLua plays on the left side not right.

I'm not too sure that would be a good idea. As much as I would love to see him for the first team and think he could be an amazing talent we must not rush him or we could risk ruining him. I mean he was only 16 in December so there is no rush for him. If your good enough, your old enough. Is he good enough though? There is a BIG difference between playing in the U18's and Reserves to playing in the first team at any level. Not to mention he has only started in the Reserves twice. He must be doing something right to make the bench ahead of lot or older more experienced acadamy and reserve youngsters. If he progresses and improves the way he is should be very very good player. If we are winning 3-0 with 15 mins left I see no harm whatsoever in blooding him in the first team. He has been getting on the bench in front of older players but consider that most of these other players will never play for the club and may only make it at League 1 level or below. He is a special talent and that is why we must not push him too fast, he is only just 16 and has plenty of time, I would say playing him against Waregem has the potential to do more harm than good. I mean what will he gain from playing 15 minutes? I would say not all that much and if anything it could be very negative if things go wrong for him on the night. He is a special talent and should be nurtured. There is no need to take risks with him at this early stage.

There is a BIG difference between playing in the U18's and Reserves to playing in the first team at any level. Not to mention he has only started in the Reserves twice. He is very young but if Roeder plays him for 10-15min the boy's confidence will rise tremendously Will it though. If he has a decent 15 mins confidence will rise but if he has a terrible 15 mins it would do him absolutely no good.

With young players it's alll about confidence. If he comes on on Thursday and has an absolute shocker then it could hamper his development, especially seen as he would be unlikely to get another first team oppurtunity until next season. He's not been playing for the Reserves that long so I think it would be far more beneficial to just let him play for the Reserves and U18's then have him train occasionly with the first team. Then next season give him a couple of games in preseason where it doesn't matter if he is poor. Young talented players have shown they can take there chance but this kid is 16 years and 3 months old, that is VERY young, I may be wrong but I don't think Rooney had even made his debut when he was this young.

How old is Sami? Has he played for our youth team yet?

That's class.

I think it could go either way, although I think AZ will just make it through because of there 3 away goals.

Campbell and Lauren are both the wrong side of 30 and both signed multi-year contracts at Portsmouth. Who's to say either player will be the same player they are now in a few years and then everyone will be moaning in a few years when they are useless and we can't get rid of them. I'd rather wait until the end of the season and bring in a good, young RB then bring in Lauren. As for CB we have Onyewu who looks very solid and is 6/7 years younger than Campbell.

Will he even be here next season? His contract expires in the summer.

Copa America takes place in the summer.

We could play anybody still left in the competition.
