The best thing about most of that lot is their wages. Championship clubs could feasibly get a few of them.
That said, if I was a Championship manager i'd only interested in Routledge, and at a push, Guthrie.
Never in a million years. Certainly not without Carroll - and when we had Carroll, he himself was probably our most effective.
Tiote, Coloccini and Barton are more effective for me, but each to their own.
If we had a fit young striker who could score goals then I would agree with you. Who else do we have? Are you suggesting starting Airey instead of Lovenkrands?
Pretty obvious I was talking about next season.
c***...and that's before the rest. His lack of respect for the officials tonight was disgutsing
If we had a player sent off for a similar challenge, I'd expect Pardew to have a go at the officials tbh.
Give over, man. Challenges like Pepe's tonight can ruin knees and subsequently careers.
Safety first football at a club with an ingrained attacking philosophy. I knew from the second he was appointed that Mourinho would fail at the Bernabeu.
