Ronaldo

Owen was Ronaldo's replacement man, with his fantastic pace and creativity.

Said that a while back and got laughed at. It's becoming blatantly obvious with the right man in charge.

£6m.

Oops.

Just been subbed. f***ing strange how him with oblong head & dodgy ticker is forcing McCarthy out Rovers, yet extends the loan of a player who has looking at Wiki has scored once since coming to the UK at first team level Not to mention his persistence with Kalinic.

Got City-1 at 11/10, ridiculously good odds.

Just been subbed.

Expect Blackburn to defend the 0-2 scorline.

Probably not Kilgallon anymore.

It's a Blackburn game mate.

Benjani was my first choice striker for this month's window. Not gonna happen now, shite.

Yeah, think i'm starting to get a feel for Serie A. Nearly 2/1 for Milan was ridiculous mind, like buying money.

Betfair is a betting exchange.

Skybet generally gives the best odds.

He's looked class in the 3 games that i've seen him play for Forrest. Not enough to go on really but he's defintely one to watch. And what a fucking goal on friday.

Fair play, but with the exception of that horrific Portsmouth game I was glad to have him in the team in 07-08. He was completely shot when he came to us sadly.

The fact he bet so much on an ANC game make it all the more ridiculous, they're about as straight as an arabic sword over there.

I'm almost tempted at 6/1 tbh, fantastic odds.

Slovenia.

He suffers from acromegaly.

Shove him up front with Shola, he's more effective than AC. Aye. I think Nolan is more effective behind two strikers though. In an ideal world we'd play with Barton and Nolan in the middle and be positive at home. Away from home i'd always play Smith though.

He'll probably end up on the right side of midfield. If we don't get Beckford I can see him being used alongside Smith with Nolan up front, especially away from home. The main thing is, he'll surely be ahead of Butt in the pecking order which will most certainly lead to better football away from home. Better use and possession of the ball is something i think he'll bring.

Serie A is a bit like the premiership in that there's about 8 teams who can play a bit and 12 who are absolute shite.

When Taylor has captained us to the quarter-finals of the champions league we'll come back and discuss that one.

Forgive me being a realist. I could come out with rubbish like 'Beckford's going to become a top premiership striker' or assert that Carroll is the next Shearer and Ranger will get 10 goals this season. Nice to think, but it isn't much a contribution to the forum imo. Anyway, I'm out, gotta go to work to get rid of the pent-up frustration.
