Ronaldo

He can't be truly judged till he gets a consistent run of games from the start. Technically he seems ok, it's just his finishing that's poor. You've said it in the past yourself a dozen times, Kris. He just doesn't look dangerous. This wasn't in a team like Blackpool struggling for the ball in the PL, btw. This was in the Championship, playing for the best team by a country mile. He doesn't look like a striker at all.

Too many focussing on the David James of the past. He's a very very good goalkeeper. No he's not, or we wouldn't be in with a chance of getting him. He's very average.

Of course he would start, Blackpool play 433. Dobie & Campbell have went back to there clubs. Taylor-Fletcher & Euell or more midfielders than strikers. He is better than Billy Clarke. Proably on proven ability because of experience Ormerod is ahead of him. So they 1 striker imo better than him & they need 3 strikers. He'd get 3 games in the PL before being dropped, he's nowhere near that level. He's not even Championship level, man.

A loan to Burnley would make sense. So long as he can be recalled at any time.

I absolutely love the bloke.

I dont really think such a thing was ever set in stone. Loven, Williamson & Routledge are some recent players to join & I dont class them as younger players. Routledge had just turned 25, in fairness.

Ian Rush was also 2 months off 36 when we signed him.

Hallington Hall.

He's a moody git who'll walk out the second Hughton leaves him on the bench for the third game running.

Blame SDBS, he spelt it wrong first. Aye, Ryan Nelsen.

Simpson and Perch at CB in the prem doesn't bear thinking about. Williamson, I also have reservations about. I think Williamson will be better than the likes of Bramble, Nelson, O'Brien etc. At least it looks as though he has a brain and can think his way out of situations. If Perch is a good right back and has some decent defensive capabilities our back 4 should be able to defend well together as a unit. For that we need Routledge and Jonas to help out defensively though. If Williamson was better than Bramble and Nelson, he wouldn't have signed for a Championship club for peanuts in January. Surely thats a ludicrous statement, when Pompey just wanted him off the wage bill with some cash, and he didnt put a foot wrong when he played for us last year. I disagree with that. He looked no more solid than Fitz Hall, who got raped like a Russian immigrant in the Premier League. He'll do a job, but he isn't a good enough athlete to be relied upon this season. I can somewhat get my head around the twisted bias against Bramble, but Nelson? He's a very good defender who'd piss his way into our starting Xl.

He was in the Milburn stand just over a year ago telling everyone who would listen that he wanted to sign for us.

I highly doubt that, btw.

He's a lot quicker than Gerrard over any distance. Especially Gerrard at 30.

Well, no, he's shite so probably not.

Strengthening a rival? Hardly. He wouldn't start for Blackpool, which is why he should be going to somewhere like Hartlepool or perhaps Leeds.

Hughton is one player away from having a first Xl that should stay up. The pivotal issue will most likely be his team selection. I'm behind him, but not optimistic.

Four. And Roeder thought he was too old then.

Perhaps this means Taylor will leave or go to RB.

Even in a friendly win you find something to moan about! It's the implication that i'm moaning about, you halfwit.

Smith had the armband? Fuck sake, man.

Pointing finger? Could be his career over.

He had no power in his feet whatsoever. Probably why was so reluctant to shoot in games. He always looked a goal threat in training, apparently.
