And Roeder will still be here at the start of the season. Etc etc. Wahey. TBH, he is a cheeky moaning fucker; i'm not doubting his arrogance either. Good manager, though.

I'll give you Serrant and Dimas but the rest are all fairly well remembered/not shit. My pop: Darren Huckerby.

What Milner lacks in pace (his only real detrimental side to his game, imo), he makes up for in his ability to beat his man better than anyone else in the squad. He's excellent at dropping the shoulder, nicking the ball past and delivering a cross. His crossing is erratic but that can obviously be worked on. He'll score goals aswell. I think Milner's got a big future here (why shouldn't he?)and i see no reason to blow cash on hindering that development. He's only going to get better with football, and better coaching - obviously. We could have had an identical argument 12 months ago re N'Zogbia/Duff and, granted - different circumstances, look how that turned out.

Well that's where our opinions would differ then, Baggio, cos i reckon that Nobby's severe lack of pace and general effectiveness up and down the wing hinders any chance of him becoming a decent winger again. He's done well at right-back cos it's still his side, but he hasn't had to bomb backwards and forwards... he's progressed from deep, played the odd long (regularly good) long pass, and organised the defense.

I'm not sure what you're basing the fact that Milner will be consistently better than SWP on, if you look back to the last time SWP had a consistent run in the team (which he'd have if he played for us) he was one of the best wingers in the league, people also seem to have a selective memory where Milner is concerned because up until he scored past Man Utd this season he was putting in some very average performances. Well even if you're right, even if SWP would become consistent... why bother blowing another £8/9/10m when we've already got someone in Milner; who, in a couple of years time, could even be a better player? Honestly just don't see the need to go splashing out on SWP. And btw, Milner was just alright up until Christmas. After the turn of the year, he was just about always our best player on the pitch.

Going by you having Geremi covering 2 positions, wouldn't it mean we currently have 2 right wingers and 1 right back in Milner and Solano? Don't think i follow you. I meant we'd have two of each? RW: Milner/Geremi RB: Nobby/Geremi Anyhow, like i say, Geremi's just a name that i've thought of; i reckon he'd be a decent signing. Can't see Sam going for him, though.

I'd still be keen to see Nobby as the official right-back i reckon, though i reckon i'd probably be in a minority. He's organised and he's a creative outlet, even from right-back. But, like i say, most would probably disagree. I fancy Geremi cos he's good, but he's good in lots of areas - and proper versatility is something that our squad has lacked for ages. And he has an uber-cool 1st/2nd/3rd/8th name. Not that i reckon Sam'll go for him. Geremi's just one of mine that i've plucked out the air. *BTW, must have been Madrid where he was a centre-mid, cos he was predominantly on the wing at Boro n'all.

Not one of those did i read and think "oh yeah, him" ... which is surely what the title is implying? BTW Ketsbaia and Acuna weren't shit.

He ain't played centre-mid much. He's a good player man.

What a load of utter f****** s***. not even worth it mate, blatant WUM Nah i know.

He's performed better at right-back for Chelsea than he has at right-wing. Not that he's played much. Either way, Ronaldo, he'd be a very shrewd signing. Simply because he covers so many areas, with effectiveness. I've mentioned this before, currently we have one right-winger and one right-back (Milner and Solano) - if we were to sign Geremi, we'd have two right-wingers and two right-backs.

What a load of utter fucking shit.

If both Milner and Shaun Wright-Phillips were playing at their best, then SWP would probably be the better player. However, i get the feeling that we'll see more of Milner playing well consitently, whereas Wright-Phillips will come in fits and spurts, what with his career being damaged so significantly. He was arguably England's best attacking prospect at City, certainly the brightest new midfield hope, but the move to Chelsea has lessened any chance of a blinding career, which he could so easily have had. He's still young, but it's a £6-10m gamble that just isn't worth it for me, and plus it's not exactly a problem area. Look deeper into Chelsea's squad and get Geremi, who can play in one of our problem areas, and two of our other areas that need strengthening. He's great at right-back, while good on the wing and can also play a defensive midfield role. And he'd cost a lot less than Wright-Phillips.

Reckon Sunderland and Birmingham will comfortable stay up. Two teams with finances and already potential in their squad; though while the Mackems have still some fair bob to spend, if they bring in more Greg Halfords for that sort of price (as they usually do in the Premiership), they'll be down again within two years. Wigan, Derby and Fulham (finally) for me. 'Dark horse' would be Boro, especially if they lose Yakubu.

Aye. Cos you need to be 6'6 down the wing. Not saying i'm for signing him, but why does his height even come into the equation?

Ah right could have been. Think he played in that 0-0 game aswell though and did well...

No.

Thompers had more dignity than this character tbh.

I know, he did. Think it was 0-0 that one, though. Early 03/04 when they were wearing that red kit.

I'd rather they kept the traditional authenticity, and not bothered with a scoreboard n'all. More Americanisation that ultimately fucks up the game.

Hang it from the top of the Leazes?

Abcdefg in alphabet controversy shocker.

Just what in fuck's name are those Umbro kits?

He was decent at Bolton actually. Wait and see what Sam thinks, though.

Wasn't he your top scorer with 11 or something, the season before he came to u? Could be wide of the mark with that but i think i can remember him bagging quite a few one season.
