Ronaldo

ah York's on the wavelength I started laughing when the 5th went in tbh but when Smith got sent off I ordered another pint

I think it was a public vote, making it all the more bizarre in a way. What were folk watching? a workman like performance mate. Talked to a couple of stewards today, both convinced that Milner is a great player, madness

sadly he's only MD of all the england offices

basically, every player is sponsored by a company or whatever. Before every game you'll hear today's guests are so and so's kit sponsor etc my dad is MD of Mott Macdonald who sponsored Shola last 3 years and Bramble 2 years before that . He has the choice of either Duff, Spiderman or Harper this season. He was gonna go with Harps but I think I convinced him to go with Spiderman a couple of nights back.

your never going to convinve me that he can help us break into the top ten. Was OKAY at Brum last year, and couldn't break into a fairly shocking Sweden squad at the euros. We'll see though Was only down to Lagerbäck who opted for his older players all over the pitch. Should have started ahead of Alexandersson and Elmander. Larsson would be a good signing, was more than "okay" at Birmingham last season.. but don't know if we need him? Beye at RB and Gutierrez/Milner/Geremi at RM... Geremi is never a winger, ever. And Gutierrez is just as apt on the left as he is on the right. But tbh, as a lot of people have said - particularly as the Guthrie signing came about - it's not like we 'need' them for the first team; it's about having a squad with good depth. this plus the fact he's better than Milner. He'd be our best winger if he came here I think you should reserve that comment until we've seen Spiderman. that's insane for a very costly second i forgot we had Spiderman, ridiculous in itself because my dad is going to be his kit sponsor this season Eh? ?

he isn't though, because if you played him there game in game out he'd get sent off 6 times a season ..........ah right, see your point

I know, horrendous in both positions but quite frankly from the school of Matty Pattison's influence in midfield

your never going to convinve me that he can help us break into the top ten. Was OKAY at Brum last year, and couldn't break into a fairly shocking Sweden squad at the euros. We'll see though His freekicks and corners alone would get us at least another 10 goals a season as his delivery is so superb and we have some dangerous finishers who would really appreciate a quality delivery into the box every now and then. Someone might feel he was just okay at Birmingham but that was Birmingham though, a pretty ordinary team. It's hard for players who try to play quality football to really shine in such teams. Put the likes of Owen, Martins and Viduka around him and I would imagine he would look a lot better. I think this is something we ought to remember. absolutely, if Solano/Laurent taught us anything it's that a good option for deliveries is like having an extra man on the field, despite flaws in other aspects of that man's game Speaking of Laurent...I was watching a video of him on youtube. He was absolutely immense for us at times, and I just wish he was more consistant. He would be worth having back just to show the rest how to take a corner or a free-kick. Get him as coach... To be fair, 99% of his corners were absolute trash. at least 10% of his corners led to goals, fact Putting "fact" at the end of the sentence doesn't actually make it fact. Nice try though. look it up mate

We'll see though Break into the top ten? I'd be bitterly disappointed if we didn't do that with no signings whatsoever, tbh. Last season was an utter abortion and we were only six points off. And four were gifted to Derby County. aye, and the say the league is better in 2008, if we played like that in 2003 we'd be down, no doubt in my mind. 10th is hardly miles away

I would urge anyone in doubt over Robert's influence to watch the 03-04 season highlights, unbelievable he was. 12 goals, god knows how many assists. Very consistent that season, but we know who and what happened next, c***

have you ever seen Inler play?

Seb Larsson

good feeling about this one, would certainly pacify me good engine, creative, quick, can score. Never really fulfilled his potential, but would still love him

Can't say he's ever looked that good to me. Would have taken him on a free the other year but he chased the cash like Sidwell IMO; never stood a chance of getting in before Terry and Carvalho. That´s easy for us to say on the sidelines isn´t it? As a player you just want the chance to prove yourself at the highest level possible and, yes, maybe earn a decent wage while you´re at it. People go on like going to Chelsea is just about the money way too much. It´s not like a top player going to a Middle East club when they´re competing for every trophy around is it..? A cynic would argue players that cho(o)se us over other clubs went for the money rather than for sporting reasons.. yeah I agree, cant blame Ben Haim for wanting to play under Mourinho and learn from the likes of Terry, Carvalho etc

Babayaro?

Ben Haim is a lot better than what we have with the exception of Faye

Zarate, good call

:lol: hospital tests? he's as blatantly pissed as anyone ive see almost

I hope you didn't waste your money on a season ticket. just a list of players i'd love to see here, most of them realistic. Season ticket holder for 15 years tbh

Barzagli went to Wolfsburg iirc. oh aye fuck

after the West Ham stuff Bernard sudenly morphed into one of the league's best full-backs. But Mr Souness came in and it all went wrong, quickly
