Ronaldo

Pancrate made a big difference because he has a pair of working legs. Just show's what we're missing.

The striker who's been played most often is by far the worst of the lot.

He's an arsehole and always has been, glad he's english though.

None, in other words.

KK Only signed him because he was cheap. Little Dennis was the one given the money for big signings. Guthrie did nothing at Bolton and has done nothing for us. Except be our joint top assister in the league last season and current top this campaign. So he makes the odd goal, he costs us twice as many with his poor positional play and lack of ability to keep hold of a ball. Which goals has he cost us?

I dread to think where we'd be in the league without it.

Most of team looks pretty unfit. The whole squad stinks of players resting on laurels instead of striving to improve.

Warnock? Crouch? Alonso? All much better than what they have now. Benitez has made a lot of baffling decisions in getting rid of players.

Of course they're not, we can barely string two passes together.

Wish this thread would fuck off.

Never got a chance here despite far, far worse being in the squad.

Smith was at walking pace by the 60th minute, what an absolute wanker.

Yeah, i'm sure he'll be rocked by a NE and Cumbria special on overseas labour.

Yes. Shame if we don't get him, would have been a good partner for Loven or Shola.

He boasts about injuring underperforming foreigners in training and arranging for Lucas Neil to be beaten up in his autobiography.

He might replace Jonas. I sincerely hope not though, and i'm a fan of Barton.

The thing is, play Butt, Nolan and Smith in the same team and you essentially aren't playing with 10 men, such is the complete lack of athleticism.

Am I the only one who thought that tackle wasn't worthy of a red card btw?

How do you explain the assists then? He's 22, you can't expect him to read the game like Andrea Pirlo.

I personally hope Nolan is the first to be sold, he'll go for a decent sum and just isn't capable of contributing in the premier league.

Or me quite honestly.

If he hadn't of gotten that pointless red card against Liverpool we probably wouldn't have been relegated last season with him in the middle. Aye we wouldn't have lost against Villa final day with him in the middle. We would have tbh. Our players looked more likely to grow wings than score in that game, or most of them under Shearer.

A few posters wrote him off from the start (almost) and lie in wait every game hoping for the lad to make a mistake, It's very sad.
