A top class CB, DM and goalscorer would have them challenging Chelsea.

It most certainly is with Michael '1 assist in his last 100 games' Owen.

That Zidane-like through ball to Guthrie against Leicester? The clever header to Nolan against Ipswich perhaps?

Take away all of Owen's goals under Keegan and we'd have finished on 38 points, good enough to stay up.

And when is he going to do this?

Last chance of a trophy gone for another year it seems.

Not when we really needed them.

£17m plus £3m could have landed us Torres.

Take Kevin Nolan out of the equation and Carroll/Ranger wouldn't get half the credit they've accumulated on this board.

Took Drogba 2:30 to score at Ewood, his 15th of the season.

And what a massive amount of use that's been.

What did Owen cost us in total? £35m plus was it?

The difference is, we know for a fact the other players are more than capable in the championship. Ranger's proved nowt yet.

Overrated. He was absolutely brilliant though, lack of regular football ruined him.

If we're taking wages into account, Owen by far. In terms of purchase price only, Luque. But that was more to do with his utilisation than owt else.

It was the "find it hard to disagree with" that I found contradictory. But I see what you mean, Harewood could score 5 in his next 3 games and the idiots at SJP would still prefer Ranger to start.

imo he's defnitely one of the top 3 LB's I've ever watched, easily world class He most certainly was.

That's the thing though, Taylor and Coloccini are both robust lads who rarely get injured. Campbell will surely expect to be heavily involved at this stage of his career and with that massive ego of his.

That post seems pretty contradictory tbh, the first and last paragraphs especially.

I have Arsenal +1 at 4/5. Pretty good odds when you look at how shocking City have been.

You can't actually give him any credit can you?

Can't get over the fact that Ranger has more than Harewood and Lovenkrands.

Still doesn't look like a natural striker against the big boys, needs some one on one coaching if he is to succeed in the near future.

He'll do for this season.

I think we'll achieve 96 at a push. All depends on January.
