Sounds like you just have it in for him. His only weaknesses are physical.

Yep.

Bigger and better defenders have complete fools at Old Trafford, all he did wrong was misplace a pass in the first half. He was actually one of our better players, not that it's saying owt. I fear for him against Carew though.

In every sense, close control and distribution.

Colo is more comfortable on the ball than anyone else in the team.

Almunia.

we already have sol saylor kadar williamson and colo and at a push perch who can play cb its not something that should be high on the transfer list Davies being better than the lot. Sol is not fit, Taylor is injured and possibly leaving, Kadar is nowhere near prem level, Williamson i rate and Colo isn't even average prem quality on a good day. One game and the criticism for Colo starts again? I don't think Colo's a bad player, but Williamson looks more competent so far So far?

Nobby's been finished for years, man. Shame we didn't sign him in January instead of Routledge, he could have been 'our Giggs.'

It's laughable how one game can have such an effect. Williamson won't be in the team much longer. Decent sub, not top quality.

Unused sub today.

or £2m.

I wouldn't say we are "strong" in midfield at all. This distinction between 'attacking' and 'defensive' midfielders just doesn't seem relevant when your other options include a striker who thinks he's a midfielder, a fatty, and a psychopath who can't stay fit. That was his point.

Agree with that.

I agree but I think we more than surpass the attacking potential Wolves had. MM got his tactics spot on throughout last season, as he did last saturday and today. Hughton is likeable but not in the same league tactically.

Thing about Bullard, i'd be secretly wishing that someone finishes the job Parker started 4 years ago. I can't stand him or that stupid face of his. Would improve our midfield though.

We're not Wolves. We're going to need to score goals. Short memories.

Not really they are in very different situations as players. Ben Arfa is a talent with apparent attitude problems and big wages. Tiote is of similar age but will be on a smaller wage and is coming to prominence. They might be on the same level, but one has gone up the figurative ladder the other has slipped down. We could certainly do with a defensive midfielder. We're going down without a creative midfielder/attacker. Spot the difference. How will you feel if we get Ben Arfa? That we're more likely to finish 17th than 18th.

No. Just dislike Inter, less so since Mourinho left, in fairness.

Good.

I'm very pleased that this is happening and hopefully it means i'll never have look at the bleach-blonde wanker ever again. However, we're 10 days from the close of the window and not a single player has been brought in to solve the main problem within the squad, it's embarrassing.

Not if he doesn't start it isn't.

So it was. Those 13 goals came with only 19 starts though. The vast majority of Carroll's goals came against poor teams. The vast majority of Nolan's came against poor teams. The vast majority of Xisco's (actually all of them) came against poor teams. Again, what point are you making? Why is Lovenkrands being criticised for only playing against poorer opposition when we spent the season in the Championship? It's like asking why Darren Bent doesn't score many in Europe these days. People want Lovenkrands in the team on the strength of him being able to get goals. He just wont get them in this league. And he certainly contributes nowt else, similar to Nolan in that respect. So who is going to get goals and contribute that's on our books at the moment? Shola, Xisco, Best and perhaps even Ranger will contribute more to overall play than Lovenkrands. They'll at least battle around for the ball. None of the five will get goals at this level. Carroll is our best bet for goals, and he'll be lucky to get 10.
