Ronaldo

He spent a fair chunk of his summer there - probably because he didn't declare his previous clashes with the law. If he keeps this nonsense up he'll never get past the DHS ever again. Constantly trying to look big and clever, it's pathetic.

Krul Taylor Williamson Coloccini Enrique Barton Tiote Cabaye Jonas Marveaux Ba is how I'd line up against the Arsenal scum.

Now he's making anti-American statements on Twitter. What an idiot, man.

If he cant leave the US it is probably something to do with his ability to get back into the UK and work visa paperwork. Someone at the club wants sacking over this. Other clubs manage to tour more exotic places than Orlando without incident. Yep. The Cabaye and Tiote problems are inexcusable.

How stupid our staff are, more likely.

"Taylor set to be an important sqaud player." How?

Steel, creativity, and productive athleticism in that midfield. Potentially sensational.

Eh? You've just named two completely different types of striker.

Speed+Lee Nah, Lee was just about on his last legs when Speed arrived. Speed - Dyer was a better CM.

He shouldn't be anywhere near our team. Not as a starter, but he has amply proven that he's capable of finishing off the weaker teams, a feat Owen, Viduka and Martins didn't manage. Combined with the fact that we now have a more creative midfield capable of supplying him with passes in space, he should start home and away against such teams. That will also give us the opportunity to rest key members such as HBA and Ba. Christ.

I see.

Perhaps because he was arguably our most important player at the time? You might as well complain that grass is green instead of pink.

Can't see us having 3 strikers better than Leon Best in the squad anytime soon, like.

Best showed in his 9 or 10 starts that he's a Premier League player imo. With Long it's an expensive risk. He has a lovely touch, Long. But I think he's one of those strikers who'd go missing against the better sides.

When I read rubbish I do, yeah. Through balls for Lovenkrands ffs. It's like some posters just want NUFC to fail.

Doesn't sound like that to me. Sounds like they want him as far away from the club as possible.

He's a nice squad player. Our midfield got much more creativity now too, so at last he'll get some passes behind the defense. Also he's earning peanuts compared to Smith and Xisco. It's the latter two that we need to get rid of. Yeah, because a player with no pace or first touch is so well suited to that tactic. He's crap, as demonstrated once again against Orlando.

That would mean we'd have Ba, Erdinc, Best, Shola, Ranger, Lovenkrands, Ben Arfa and Vuckic potentially fighting it out for places in and around the striking positions. We don't need anyone else after that like. Just a shame the one's in bold will struggle to hit 20 goals a season between them. How did they manage 23 last season then? I don't rate Ranger, Loven and Shola either, but you're making such a crap case it's laughable.

Fortunately we have youngsters with far more talent that'll learn from his departure.

31 goals in 2 years is a phenominal amount for a central midfielder, agreed? No, it isn't. It's a very good return, which virtually evaporated when a genuinely good striker wasn't there help him. If only he had more to his game.

He can run with the football. I can't remember the last time Guthrie did that.

Not at all. I only used 'rubbish' in connection with your posts.

Short memories.

Not really. Upgrade i'd say.
