My mates a Spurs fan and is usually overly critical of his team and reckons Woodgates been class for them since signing. Oh don't get me wrong I'm still a big fan of the lad and he definitely upped his game when moving to Tottenham last season as opposed to his form at Burra, but like I said I don't think he's the player we had, he's far away from that. And with his attitude and fitnesss, I'd take someone like Colo every time. As you're guaranteed to get more out of him. tbh I agree with you. Didnt realise his attitude was wrong though??

Nevilles not played for a year! Bosingwa hasnt even played a premier league game yet!

i'm not obsessed with a big guy, more about trying to get a coherent mix up front. for example none of these would really work long-term: Martins Saviola Owen Owen Saviola Martins Saviola so the only improvement he'd bring is more options in case of injuries or loss of form, we'd have, roughly, 3 of one type of forward and one of the other, and that one (Viduka) is really unreliable. on the other hand someone in the mould of Viduka with a bit more movement would massively increase our possibilities up front as they can do things that the rest of our forwards can't and complement, compensate and dovetail with another in a way two similar forwards rarely do. unless one of either martins or owen is on the way out? Nothings impossible but Keegan has said no-one else is leaving.

Those 3 wouldnt work under an Allardyce type as he would attempt to counter the opposition, but Keegan is more likely to impose our play on the opposition and let them worry about us. In that sense I could see it working.

Does anybody know if they've covered us on Soccer Saturday and what they had to say about our season?

Should have been 2. They were quality there!

Didnt realise they were so close last year but I cant help but be with the mindset that they arent up to winning it! Still see them as more likely to win it than Liverpool though.

Nice start for Nasri!

Not really seen much of him but isnt he more in the Owen/Martins category? I would have thought we should go for more a target man sort of striker. Thats not to say I wouldnt take him.

dissapointed at this.

Didnt realise he started 24 games. I think he'll probably appear more than last season.

Just out of interest, who actually "overrates" Milner? A lot of people on here would quite happily get rid, and those that do rate him far from make him out to be Christiano Ronaldo.

I normally dont give 2 shits about the media but I'm starting to get really fucking annoyed with all the negative shit that comes out every single day. Wouldnt be bad if it was one persons own view every now and then but it seems to be every day at the moment. I may be reading that 27m debt article wrong but doesnt that imply that there was 27m worth of debt on transfers when he arrived, not now?

We actually have a pretty decent balance of wingers (judging by pre-season) in Guttierez, Milner, Duff and N'Zogbia so doubt we'd get rid. I wouldnt particularly be too happy if he left either as he can at worst be a very useful peripheral first teamer.

Id be a bit pissed off if Faye left. Him and Colo would make a good pairing.

So did David Rozenhal! Is this forum on a rerun?

I think I've got a newspaper cut out of the Blackburn game somewhere, and when we beat the Mancs 3-0.

Got that for christmas a few years ago, havent actually read it in great depth.

In a big match maybe but not in the Community Shield.

Those pens were shite! Only Giggs' was decent

Probably going to get slaughtered for saying this, and I openly admit to not paying large amounts of attention to the pre season games due to them being boring as hell.... but Duff hasnt looked bad.

At this point in time I'd probably add Barton to that list of absent first teamers as well.

We need players around him that are intelligent enough to see his runs though, he's made a few into space that have gone un-noticed.

Jonas looks really impressive so far.
