Ronaldo

He looks decent in midfield when he has plenty of time on the ball (namely against continental sides) but put him under any pressure and he'll misplace too many passes. Lovely guy and all that but how anyone can piss and moan about us not creating enough then advocate him starting (with or without everyone fit) seems like a bit of a double standard to me. Honestly, what happened to just wanting midfielders that could win the odd the ball, play it and then move up the pitch to support the attack? At times I fucking hate what Makelele and Mourinho started. Teams like us can't afford just another man in there to 'keep it simple'. Our current 'attacking' players aren't good enough for it all to rest on their shoulders.

I don't think you could've provided a better example of what I said earlier than this.

Powerful stuff. Let that be a lesson to you all.

Kinnear's 'never felt fitter'? What a deluded old bastard.

Too easy. Good luck at your next club where they might expect you to be able to play football.

Sammy.

If he goes they'll need to invest in both wide areas because Lennon is often a part of the problem. They also need 2 strikers.

Nothing to do with pessimism. I just won't put money into something I disagree with.

They'll lose him eventually. You could argue his stock is unlikely to be much higher than it is right now. And it's an amount that would see them finish 4th consistently with clever investment.

ran.

Behave, man. They both imply the same thing. Modest mediocrity.

Best crosser of the ball at the club. What use is he when we've got Jonas to be a nice guy and look like he's just ran up Everest at the end of every game.

The defending in that Spurs friendly, man.

I'm dead set on this being my last season and my family are the same.

I don't think it would either, sadly. Too many that don't see the big picture and just want a Sat afternoon fix.

Because they're skint Ta.

Except that's pretty much what I said. Decent but nobody I'd want us signing. Try again, tool.

Why do Lyon want to sell him? Why haven't they offered him a new contract?

I'd be disgusted with anyone prepared to continue giving the club money in that situation.

this, solid enough nothing special wouldn't bother with Is exactly right.

Coming from a Yank poster who knows as much about football away from NUFC as I do about Rugby I'll let it slide. Bardsley's decent. I know the mongs don't want you saying it about a mackem/ex-mackem but he's a solid enough defender. Anyone claiming his lack of footballing ability negates that should probably be reminded of how many times they've advocated starting Cheick Tiote, ie a midfielder who can't play.

I do think the full-back positions are as good as they're ever gonna get under this lot. Santon and Debuchy are quality players and Anita and MYM are good back-up it would appear.
