  1. True, but then it's up to him to provide the funds and appoint somebody with football knowledge to create a scouting and coaching set up to find, attract and develop those talents, isn't it. Hollow words are hollow.
  2. For all Mike's initial ambition of "bringing the best talent from all over the world to NUFC", he needs to be ashamed that not a single one of our players is represented at this tournament.
  3. I would be very surprised if Vuckic goes on to have a better career than Sammy. He's certainly talented, but he just keeps on getting injured, which can be all the difference between making it or not at this age.
  4. Need to sign 2 strikers and winger minimum - probably Centre Half as well and look to get Sammy, Ferguson, Bigi, Campbell, Tav well bedded into the Squad. I was talking on top of what we have. So replacements when necessary on top of that ie Colo leaving. 1/2 would be a striker and winger with young CB possibly coming in to push Williamson away from the squad. Sammy/Fergie should go on loan as they dont look close to being worthwhile atm. I know i'm WILDLY on my own here, but i can imagine Sammy being a decent prem player in a couple of years. Sometime tall lads take a bit longer. He needs some lungs and strength but i think that will come. Needs to read the game obviously but is very tricky with the ball, if he's in the opponents box i reckon he's a mare to play against, wouldn't know when to tackle. Fergie, i'm not so sure about. As you say though, loans for now! Agreed on Sammy
  5. Aye, reminds me of Wallcott in a way.
  6. Late I think, starts at 7:30pm GMT

    Unbelievable's been making excellent points and its pretty much the stuff i've been saying for months. You've been saying stuff like "Darren Bent MKII" which is complete and utter s****. I said the same thing, and I stand by it.. Could you link me to all of Darren Bent's spectacular goals please, cheers. You get more points for spectacular goals do you? Bent has scored 179 career goals at the age of 29. Hardly an insult to compare Cisse to him, seeing as they are quite similar players (poacher types who are best as a lone forward, and don't contribute much to general play). Eh? You're claiming they're almost the same player, I'm making the point that Bent doesn't score goals from nothing like Cisse, what the f*** do points have to do with anything? I don't see the relevance of Cisse's penchant for the spectacular as a reason to dismiss him being comparable to Bent. I haven't said they're the same player, I've argued they are similar, even though there are differences, for example Cisse scoring more spectacular goals from outside of the box, and Bent being more physical in taking on defenders. Doesn't change the fact they are essentially both poachers who are most suited to playing as a lone forward, spearheading the attack and not very good at bringing others into play. It's unbelievable that you have to explain this. It could be avoided if people actually described what they mean to begin with, like saying "has similarities to Bent" instead of saying stuff like "Bent MKII".. Bent MkII weren't my words, they were Hans' generalisation of an earlier discussion we had on the exact same topic.

  9. Holland's lineup for tonight: http://www.vi.nl/upload/9b7ac1c2-677a-4a4a-bbfb-da6582b1541f_veldje_opstelling_jongoranje_jongduitsland.jpg
  10. Plays from the right mainly though..
  11. How much do you reckon he'd cost? £8m+? Don't know, but I think 5m should do it. Affelay may also be looking for a new club.
  12. Jeremain Lens wants a move to the Premiership...

    Fair enough, I fully expect and want him to be here next season. He's a much better player than we have seen this season. I also want us to expand our forward options significantly. I do think Gouffran is the Best replacement by the way. We really need only one first team striker (the Ba replacement) and a winger as far as I am concerned, especially if we want to give Adam Campbell some playing time next season.

    What? I'm not sure anybody is writing him off like, more saying a big improvement is needed and if somebody is wiling to bid a stupid amount for him it wouldn't be the end of the world to sell him providing we get a replacement in first. This is exactly why it would be the end of the world to sell him. We're still waiting to see if this regime will bother to really replace Ba with like for like quality yet. You need to look up the meaning of the word 'providing'. You need to look up 'reality'. Oh, I live in reality all right thanks very much. In my dreams Cisse would score 21-25 Premiership goals this season past, as the poll at the top constantly reminds me whenever I venture in this thread. In reality he scored 8, and was nowhere near as good as the vast majority on here thought he could be. I don't want to see him leave except under the conditions I mentioned in that post. The conditions may be unrealistic themselves, but that doesn't make my statement any less valid.

    This is going the way of Clyne. Another Championship player we should have been in for (on a free too, wasn't he), but who went to a promoted side. Would have been an excellent replacement for Simpson.

    If his minutes per goal ratio from last season had continued through this season he'd have scored 40 goals in the Premier League alone. But then nobody on planet earth could have ever kept up the form Cisse had in his first half season here. I don't disagree that he's under performed this season (partly down to the team/pardew and partly down to himself), but lets not make too many comparisons with his first half season, because its totally unrealistic. That was in response to somebody claiming his chance conversion rate had 't significantly dropped. how is the chance conversion thing done, does it take into account the difficuilty of the chance (and it must be said cisse has missed a fair few you'd expect lesser strikers to score over the last season) or is it just a goals to shots ratio ? Both, see previous page
