Ronaldo

I have a lot of time for Gullit.

He's 31 soon, there's a reason it's taken him this long.

Fair enough, I just yearn for a tad of blunt honesty from him at times.

For whom? He hasn't had a previous season in which he's proved himself at top level. He has now of course.

The implications are somewhat worrying from a fan's perspective and it's basically completely unnecessary rubbish.

I agree with that tbh. Except I don't have much faith in Colo - Taylor as a partnership and it may be harsh on Williamson but he has looked very slow at times. Yes, he's the footballing version of Kevin McBride. But he's solid as a squad player.

I think Simpson has probably already figured that one out. Anyway, a new RB is an absolute necessity. Never mind, completely missed the point. And you really think a typical soundbite in the local rag from Hughton is going to encourage Simpson to get lazy? Simpson knows he's first choice, he has been since he was loaned in August/September.

Junkhead is wrong, sadly. What we don't want to do is go into the new season with the most important partnership on the pitch made up of two players who don't know each other. Has to be Colo with Saylor or Williamson. Preferably the former, having watched Mike a bit more closely in the last few games.

Doesn't sound too negative to me.

Where did I advocate Hughton saying anything negative?

Obviously you think Milito to be the better player. Of course. EDIT: I don't at all, for those getting angry. In fact, i'm not a massive fan of Milito. He'll never have another season like this one and never has before.

He wants to be on similar money to Lampard, Drogba and Terry, which is basically insane.

Clearly not, we got him for £1.5m. He's an absolute steal at that amount.

Looks very assured for Wales, even at 20.

No by preference, no. But Kadar, S Taylor, Simpson and Colo are all better in that position. I think even Alan Smith would do a better job.

Chris Gunter.

5 then.

SWP is horrifically overrated.

France surely cannot be considered one of the favourites?

We have 4 players at least in the squad who are better RBs than Taylor.

Yep, that would be a good idea Well why isn't it? Because you shouldn't undermine the confidence of players you may need to rely on. And what do you think it'll do to his confidence when he reads the article then doesn't get a game? Plus, there's no excuse whatsoever to rely on the likes of Ryan Taylor.

Milito and Shearer are like chalk and cheese.

There's no chance of a top 6 club starting (frequently) a player with the footballing ability of Taylor at RB.

If Taylor moves to a top 6 club and doesn't get sold within 2 years for being completely shit, i'll delete my account. CB requires more intelligence than any other position and he's about as sharp as a sponge. He'll never amount to anything away from NUFC.
