If true I do have to wonder why the hell Benitez chooses Heskey to bring back to Anfield rather than Owen. Why on earth would you partner Torres with Owen? Sheer madness

rubbish, he looked very good for them in his last season, less than 3 years back

29 in 2 weeks tbh

that comment will probably bite you in the arse at some point. Love Bassong, he's an absolute quality CB but has a pretty poor touch at best tbh

Mendes I'd welcome with open arms. He'd crawl on all fours into our midfield

An infant could recongnize that Bassong has been our best defender though

by the way, leaves Rangers, spends a few years in Germany, leaves on a free, joins us. Sound familiar?

you're kidding? looked an excellent player in his final season for Rangers 3 years back, havent a clue what he's done in Germany

Or maybe try him as a defensive midfielder? Would love to see him in that role Bassong and Distin would be a quality pairing imo there really isn't enough intelligence there. Both use their physicallity first and their brain second Bassong and Coloccini is fine and just needs more time

What was the rest of the patter? Carroll looks like the new 'hero' as he goes in where it hurts. And Kinnear has done OK since he came in apparently. Moncur clearly mincing his words

I'd play Distin LB

I also heard this on the radio

7th with that squad (and please no fucking Roeder comparisons) doing a fantastic job, would welcome him with open arms

yes, Lovenkrands sets the precedent

I wouldn't call Stoke the North West. It's an hour from Derby. Just maybe he is not living in Stoke city centre. Nicky Butt & Michael Owen play for us but both live in the North West. so Faye could have easily done the same basically. This story about wanting to live in the north-west is absolute bollocks tbh

absofuckinglutely

I wouldn't call Stoke the North West. It's an hour from Derby. 30 miles tbh

Played well today I thought, passing let him down a bit in the second half but defensively he was solid throughout. Hope to god we keep him

yes

Good elitist logic. You're the kind of fan that Newcastle gets a bad rap for. Get over yourself and get behind the team. I spent £50 on a taxi, £15 on beer and £500 on a season ticket getting behind the team today thanks pal. I get behind the team from start to finish at the game

He want aids like? very, very naughty

Yep coupled with the fact we'd get mugged if we wanted to sell him.

Bassong is fucking great but Faye should never have been sold in a million years. A better DM than Butt in addition to being a better CB than any cover we have for Bassong and Colo. familiar with the word cover?

more chance of Kinnear coming out saying he likes Xisco's spanish accent

my point sir, was that the game was decidedly going Stoke's way from the second half whistle. I'm not saying we deserved to lose, but we barely scraped a draw, againat a team many would consider one of the worst in the premiership. We've not been convincing at all at home this season, we've been absolute bollocks
