Mick

He's coming here on the back of two poor seasons, he could go either way.

Some quality in midfield, we're even more one dimensional now.

All we need now is to give them Kinnear and take Bruce.

I'd replace the pointless Duff with Lua Lua.

I think the atmosphere will lift our players after another shit week in the life of NUFC.

I'm over the moon the mackems think they will win, the disappointment will be so much better.

Clubs will be working all weekend on transfers, I doubt the FA's will be though.

One more midfielder before 5pm and I'll not have to watch Nicky Butt on Sunday.

He refused to come back here though, unlike Caldwell who came back from Leeds while knowing he was going to the mackems.

Would that not have required a appointment with a gynaecologist?

What was the MRI scan for?

His refusal to play isn't going to get him any sympathy.

I like your thought process.

I think it's just an excuse.

I would be amazed if this was all about that slip from Kinnear.

I'm not sure we can afford to let players rot, we'd be punishing our own club that way.

I agree.

I'm not sure, he's done as much by mouthing off but I don't know if he's put a request in writing which will be the right way to do it.

It should have though, I went off Dyer after that.

The fact is that he's refused to play and for that he's finished here.

I'm not defending his performance against Blackburn but I've seen worse from the other three. Butt can't pass the ball to his own team. Duff rarely has the bottle to have a go at a player and bottled a shooting change big time against Man City. Smith, he has only had one reasonable game here in over a year and a half.
