Lescott and Arteta are far better than Cahill.

Onuoha did his job defensively. Seriously though, it's a long time since I've seen a player so uncomfortable with the ball. You wouldn't bat an eyelid if you saw the lad playing in League One.

So you can't spell his name either? Good keeper but should change his name to Smith tbh.

He had two good games against us for Sheff Utd. Could do worse for just over £1m.

Worth an outside punt imo. Could well fall to bits without the guy who's got them where they are. Certainly wouldn't be surprised if Sammy Lee doesn't last the season. Bolton's signings hardly fill you with hope for them either. Gavin McCann is now a has been and J Lloyd Samuel is a never was been. Also rumblings about Jussi rejecting a new contract and leaving them for Villa or Sunderland. Ben Haim has already gone and I wouldn't be suprised if Anelka spits his dummy out.

Aye DJ Campbell, Cameron Jerome and Radhi Jaidi. mackems.gif More like Fabrice Muamba, McSheffrey and Larsson. You laugh at Jerome and while he's nothing special I can think of worse strikers in the Premiership. Birmingham will spend a good few bob and just do enough to stay up imo. I think Derby and Wigan are dead certs to go down. Then it could be any one of City/Fulham/Boro

He was linked with us in January. Probably just agent talk, touting him for a move to England.

Dicky Dirt? Dicky fucking Dirt? I hope that's someones idea of a joke and not official images.. if so, how more cringeworthy can you get? Horrible kit as well.

So they've stolen the Flamengo kit now to go with the Spurs top?

You wouldn't expect to see such dodgy defending by teams from either nation

Get onto Lita shushing the TV camera. What a fucking mug. He should still be embarrassed about his penalty miss and one of the worst sitters of all time, not acting like he's the man.

Jesus christ. I've just seen those Lita misses. What a fucking pair of losers him and Stuart Pearce are.

I'd assume he's injured. His lead boots aren't suited to 442, but Pearce is a complete muppet and would never realise that dropping him is the way to go if he wanted an extra forward. PS: If he's not injured, I'd credit Pearson with the insight, as Pearce is a complete muppet. Dropping Huddlestone for Noble isnt exactly the 'way forward' is it? Ideal team would be: Carson Hoyte Ferdinand Taylor Baines Young Reo-coker Huddlestone Milner Nugent Lita Vaughan should be up front, not Lita. And haven't you got the wingers on the wrong sides?

Never heard of that before. Common knowledge in these parts

Barton is such a wanker refusing to let that £300k go to the point that his new club had to step in and pay it. He really doesn't do himself any favours.

Tom Cannon is a fucking joke. And a scruff.

Why have people STILL not realised Gravesen is not a DM?! He can't tackle and was Everton's main attacking midfielder for nearly five years. He is a big skin head, surely he is a DM!? Oh, right. My mistake!

Yeah, the sending off was a joke and the ref has been so fussy. You'd think he was a continental ref with the free kicks he's giving but he's Scottish!

Chimbonda is a good player but he's only worth about £6m. Hardly young either. Anything over £7m would be very good business, turning down £11m is lunacy.

True, but he also rates Ramage highly for some bizarre reason. To be fair to the Ramage, he hasn't done too badly for us in UEFA games, and neither did the whole team until Alkmaar away so you can kind of see why Royle may regard him as an OK player based on what he's been watching of him. And they said this man has taste. Well no they didn't actually Joe Royle claimed that Tony Grant was the best passer of a ball from A to B in english football. Repeatedly. Who? Exactly. Grantona? He was quality but at the same time the most lightweight footballer I've ever seen. If he would have put about two stone on then he would have been a good player.

Evans has been told he'll get some games at Utd next year so they must be selling Heinze or Brown. Silvestre will probably go as well.

Agreed, the Loaded of footy mags I always thought, aimed at "real fans" but not written by real fans, as opposed to aimed at "real blokes" but written by people like Vic for Loaded. World Soccer is the daddy and 90 minutes used to be OK IIRC. Yeah, World Soccer is pretty decent. I got the last one which had some good stuff on Argie football past and present

He's rubbish by all accounts. I was suprised by this transfer as there was some hype around him when he signed for Reading but after some digging on the interwebs it seems as though he was 3rd or 4th choice right back at the club behind Murty and De La Cruz who are both gash with Coppell even playing a midfielder there instead of Halford on one occasion. He gave away a pen on his debut for the club and was used in the reserves as a centre mid with Coppell trying to convert him but apparently he looked pretty poor in the middle even at that level so they've now cut their losses.
