Ronaldo

well Gillespie was 19 and had been starting and scoring for the premiership champions in fairness

who said he wasn't good enough for Bolton? jesus have you ever even seen him play? have a word man, were you expecting Gerrard instead?

TV channel tbh

Baptista would be fantastic in the right formation

actually find myself agreeing with Chez on this one, jesus

Sidwell isn't a defensive midfielder. Neither was speed mate. People are being far too simplistic about this. In my opinion Sidwell would make an excellent signing if we converted him into a DM, for the long term. i.e use coaching skills.... they haven't been used in a while at our club. agreed

Nor me. Don't want to sound rude but, what the f*** lads? £15m buys you what in 2008? he's our best player and brightest prospect by a mile. You dont sell those, and if you do, it's for stupid, stupid money Once again showing yourself to be a bit rubbish at judging players. a bit rubbish??? mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif Let me guess, you're from the school of 'Michael Owan is a beta player coz he always plays for England' Or of the opinion that Owen's more intelligent, has a better touch, and is a better finisher. Just a thought, like. i don't want to go into that debate, because obviously both strikers are valuable for us and we can't afford to lose any of them.. but the better finisher thing.. Owen missed plenty of clear opportunities, while Oba often shows good composure and cool finishing when one on one with the keeper.. i'd say that Owen is the cleverer player, but Martins' finishing instinct isn't bad either.. indeed, Owen is the more instinctive and intelligent, but in terms of overall finishing they're pretty much on a par. Oba brings so much more to the team

You dont sell those, and if you do, it's for stupid, stupid money If he really has a release clause of £13m and Arsenal bid that value, there isn't a lot we can do. that release clause is based on martins handing in a transfer request the fact is we have owen and martins both on 80k+ a week, we're not getting value for money from them tbh we are with Martins. FFS Emre was on 60k

isn't Arshavin a queer anol?

blatantly going out on loan

Learn to quote. Thats 8 goals aye, but Martins didn't score many more, and ultimately had a lot more pitch time than Bent as well. Martins has about 10 times more potential. Bent is much less of a threat to be honest, good finisher though

Well then you're stupid. so stupid he transformed our side from a bunch of aimless donkeys into a genuinely threatening team at the end of last season. So stupid that despite playing for and alongside talentless, gutless nobodies he's managed better than a goal every 3 games since coming to this country. He's 23, you can't expect him to have the nous of Teddy Sheringham ffs. And to be honest he looks like einstein compared to some in our squad

Would anyone on here honestly take £15m for him? I know I wouldn't

Because he's the best player in the world and there is no better player to replace him? Yeah but spend the money properly and ManU will be a better team how?

yeah I remember you posting the mp3 about a year ago to the day to be fair, do you still have it? need it on the ipod mate, asap, off to the gym in 15 minutes

better than Given, and better for the defence

So you agree that Taylor is one of the worst defenders in the Premiership then? Come off it, he's not great by any means but he's far from one of the worst. no, I never said that, I said that I agreed that he's 'vastly overrated and inferior to cacapa' If you could sort premiership defenders in four categories he'd probably be in the lower middle section. Sadly that's where he's been for the last four years. I honestly dont see any solid improvement

Load of bollocks he's right about Taylor though, vastly overrated and an inferior defender to Cacapa Who overrates him? Seriously? I really want to know the answer to that question. This tripe about him being let off cos he's young and cos he's a Geordie. As far as i can see, on here anyway, he's rated evenly. Decent player, has potential, but pretty limited in a few departments. Can anyone really disagree with that? Agree that Caçapa is better though. on here i would say about 60% overrate him. In the pubs in town about 70% consider him a good defender. Dont even get me started about the rest of the country who seem to think he's our best defender. And the fucking media, jesus, you'd think he was the next Rio Ferdinand

Load of bollocks he's right about Taylor though, vastly overrated and an inferior defender to Cacapa

good I guess, because he's better than Edgar. Still hope we sign one or two solid CB's so he gets nowhere near

it's the Villa game that annoys me most when people talk about Cacapa. Again and again he got Taylor out of trouble or did his work yet people tried to put the opposite spin on it, honestly. Faye and Cacapa generally looked by far our most solid partnership last season
