lovejoy

shildon i think, him , harper, taylor and smith did it

dunne would be a great signing imo, just what we need

yeah right. any serious one's?

anyone go? (sorry if related to elsewhere)

Bollocks, complete over haul has never worked. In your opinion Barton is mediocre. For me he's in good form and can get better and better with the right coaching. Do seriously believe we can go out and sign ferdinand and vidic standard for next season? If not that standard what? I suppose you believe someone like Melberg is better than Faye? Us conceeding goals has been down to the midfield not the personnel in defence. us conceeding goals is down to our centrebacks being useless Are Bramble and O'Brien better than Faye and Taylor? If you answer yes you want shot. We performed all right with those two here behind a class midfield. who was our class midfield? cant remember us having one of those You taking the piss. Speed, Dyer, JJ at the time were getting us in the top four, or is that not good enough for you now? I believe we played Inter Milan with a back four of; Griffin Hughes Bramble Bernard and drew 2-2 in the san siro dyer and jenas class? i dont think so have a word man. jj was great in his first full season, and dyer played his best football of his career under bobby. our midfield was quality. if we were shite at th eback and avergae in midfield, how did we do so well? can you answer that for me?

we fucking battered them. oba tortures dawson EVERY time we play them. fantastic result, very well done lads

the press have given wise some stick like, but am i the only one who seems to be impressed by what he has done/is doing so far?

happy days all round, great piece of business for us and a good move for shola. hope he fires them into the prem. good luck to him, owes us nowt, always gave his all for us imo, and played through the pain barrier a good few times, probably to his down fall as he ended up missing so much of last year when he would have been a regular. as is said, good luck to him

fuck off custis

hope he goes and does well

possibly on loan according to .com

i have to say i like him and have done since the first time i saws him against everton. as has been mentioned, lets leave him to develop, settle and learn. i think we'll end up with a solid player

was in the chron yesterday, if it was us appointing him/someone like him we would be slated, both in the press and on here.

I think we will do a lot of business outside the UK our scouting setup looks like it is geared towards atm. I would like to see Keegan get out watching lower league football because he has a good eye for a player. "Very few of the players were looking at at the moment with regards to the future wont be being looked at by other clubs as well." That either suggests he's talking about young lads or players who are not that well known and are not playing in the more well known leagues. doesnt he mean the opposi with that quote? that most of the players he's looking at will be being scouted by others?

All I said is that I would love to sign David Bentley - which I've been saying for ages - and the roof caved in thats true dave. i actually think LM's been practicing quite a bit of restraint in this thread, and I don't think he's said anything out of order. maybe thats just because im dreaming of Bentley too and really think we have a chance to bring him here Just pay what it takes to get him. I'm not talking silly figures here, but he will have his price. Pay it. Act like the big club we are and should act. Pay it and show everyone we mean business. That in itself will attract others. Its the only way. i have to say i agree 100%, it will attract others. i honestly believe if we had have got woodgate in jan then others would have followed, and if you believe the itk on the blackburn forum, who is usually spot on, we wanted bentley. i would absloutely love to see him here next season

mick quinn says in this months mag, a player who turn us down for anther club outside the big 4 would be a 'dickhead'. 'newcastle is still a big move on any c.v and the banter between players still suggests that'.

exactly, ashley can do what he wants, thats how business is. they made it out as if he had lost it at the dogs...but then again, even if he had, so fuck, its his money. they just couldn't stand giving us a back page of positivity, so thy had to put the 'loser' headline. cunts

nah, that was emerton

have you seen the celebration where he does that? he tries to squirt it first but the top is down, gutted for him!

precisely. as HTT says, many managers put their faith in their (best) players as oppose to being tactics mad. ask ac milan how tactically aware fergie is afetr their game(s) last season. its bollocks man. thats wrong lovejoy if you are making out he just picks his best players. i'm not, by any stretch. im suggesting that tactics are only a part of his talents as a manager, and a pretty small one at that. i think fergie's big strength is that he gets the best out of those who play for him, whether its ronaldo or park ji sung.

i agree. didnt stop the cowards last week on sunday supplement suggesting he wont walk away this time as 'he cant afford to, his business' have not done well since he left man city'. disgusting. i fucking hate those cunts i realy do.

i think you'll find 'good players' will be expensive this summer though with the amount of £ flying about

we've done both and got burned....lets hope he buys the right players. spot on. and i reckon he will.

based on what? his bad track record last time? give over man. Aye, he might break the world transfer record again. exactly. i thin i have found found one of the fuckers sitting near me today. honestly, these people are unreal man
