Lovenkrands quicker than Jonas, Routledge and Jose? Absolute nonsense.

Are you joking?

Rubbish. He hasnt had a fair enough run in the PL for you to make that comment. The last time he played for us in the PL, the club was in a total state of shambles. I doubt even bloody Rooney would have performed for us under those circumstances. And you are one of these people screaming for the club to sign that well known PL greyhound, Kris Boyd? Take a reality check, mate. Our options are limited and if we have to go with what we have, then Lovenkrands will score goals in the PL given good enough service. How many times did Lovenkrands score against teams who finished in the top half last season? He's not PL class, not even close. As for Boyd, there isn't one person on this board "screaming for the club" to sign him, that's all in your head. Most of us just see that on a free, his signing would represent a nowt to lose, everything to gain situation.

He works the channels well against shocking defenders.

Lovenkrands hasn't scored regularly at this level in his entire career, why would he start now? He'll be an absolute passenger in the PL.

More than adequate? Do me a favour with that biased nonsense, he has 3 premier league goals and 16 in the championship, 3 of those being penalties. If that's more than adequate, David Nugent is on the verge of being world class.

Not really. Goals will keep us up, not CMs. A creative central mid would be nice but who exactly is he going to be supplying? Lovenkrands who needs 3 or 4 chances to score? Carroll who remains a pretty poor player with his feet? Striker is a must or we're going down.

These stupid friendlies mean nowt.

He looks very slight build similar to Rozenhal. Might struggle with the physical nature of the premiership. I honestly think that Rozenhal would've been very good in a settled team even in the premiership. He was at a push the size of one of my legs, why on earth Allardyce (of all people) brought him in i'll never know.

As a pundit Redknapp is pretty good, always calls a spade a spade on Talksport. Even admitted that Defoe isn't good enought to start for England.

It's absolute nonsense dreamt up by cuntish journalists who take great delight in trying to reinforce the idea that we're inferior to the likes of even two relatively small PL clubs. It's basically subtle ridicule, fuckers.

just not over 100k p/w good.

He's very good.

He seems to be up here more than in Cardiff.

Yep.

I want to see Joe Cole start otherwise i'll be angry.

I hope they do, then they'll fail.

Waiting for the very first Spain and Brazil group games.

We're not going to win a WC with David James in goal. Just never gonna happen, we're going out in the QF or 4th round.

Upson, James and SWP should thank their lucky stars. As should Heskey, who does Ok alongside Rooney but has been terrible recently.

What on earth are you talking about?

The Derby isn't for a few days.

Beckham is so limited now it's no longer funny. I do wish the cameras would stop following him around like dogs with bones, sick of the sight of him.

Milwall isn't much further east than Palace.
