me too + swap colo and taylor Its not FM man........ Oh and i would have Marveaux over Jonas at home definately. Well done, you found the smiley i almost used for your stupid post. As if it matters what order you list the CB's in ffs You know, i agree the order of the CB's isn't particularly important but what i don't get is why you have to be such a high handed little bitch in around 90% of your posts. Am not tbh but if you dont like dont read them Edit: As i made a flipant comment in the first place it was only in response the the smiley but never mind eh? You are actually. You seem to enjoy being clever and you can a bit of prick about it imo. I'm not of a mind to put anyone on a ignore list so i have to read your posts along with all the others. Silly comments i can read all day long, i'm sure i make even make a few but shitty little comebacks get tiresome tbh.

I don't know why he'd mention us then. I could understand if he was using our name to try and get the bigger clubs interested, but when he's already said he's had interest from Inter & Liverpool anyway, why throw in our name as well if we haven't expressed an interest? Seems a similar sort of player to Matuidi, same mould, same price bracket, etc. so could see us being interested in Sissoko if we're looking at Matuidi too which seems the case. sissoko is,from my limited viewings, the better player but if we couldn't get him then i wouln't be crying if we got matuidi. Matuidi on the left of a mid 3 with Tiote and Cabaye would have a certain balance to it.

Don't see how. Marveaux's best position is on the left. N'Zogbia's best position is on the right. Ben Arfa's best position is in the middle. Where does Jonas fit in? Or does he not count? Competing for a slot on either flank. Especially when we need someone to put a shift in.

Don't see how. Marveaux's best position is on the left. N'Zogbia's best position is on the right. Ben Arfa's best position is in the middle. Just going off Youtube, Marveaux is indeed and inside left forward. Going by my own eyes, Zog is naturally left sided but can play right and cut in. HBA looked like he didn't like to be tied to any particular position on the pitch!

Mate recently saw some of Yaya Toure's documents including bank statements. Wages were just over £366,000 per month (nett).

If we could get Sturridge for the same money who would you guys prefer?

Anyone got a little worry at the back of their heads that this is just a bluff to show Enrique/Barton/Nolan we're serious so they sign contracts and also to help ST sales? I mean, if we get him for 10M Euro then great, bargain, but being seen to be chasing these kind of players could just be us making a display of 'ambition.' Apologies if overly cynical.

From what i've seen of him (which isn't much tbf) i don't see what he could offer. I'd rather give Ferguson and Lua Lua the chance. Matt Phillips on the other hand....

If they've got a few players who could walk into Champions League sides they would hardly have been fighting for survival on the last day would they?

Enrique has rarely let a cross in and it's even rarer that a winger has beaten him. That means Colo can hold a good position and keep his eye out for his man and any other runners who might be heading for the near post. Colo knows he probably doesn't have to rush towards a winger who's just cruised past the LB or is being given so much room he can ping a cross in without much problem. The helps Colo out massively imo. Looking at the otherside, i think Simpson's unwillingness to get tight to a player gives the CB nearest him all sorts of problems. He's got the pace so i really don't understand his reluctance.

N'Zogbia Moses N'Zonzi Wickham Oxlade-Chamberlain Would be a good group. Be suprised if we signed any of that lot though.

Look at that video, everyone is getting involved. Someone karate kicks someone in the back, and other people are fighting. But look at the Number 10 on the running track (holding the ball), stands there and just kicks the ball, with a connection that would make Shola proud Good spot!

surely you know zippo about what hall does or does not know? Well I suppose so, I haven't been tapping his phone or anything if that's what you mean. Based on my observation of the club sale situation and common sense about the relationship between Ashley/Hall, I conclude it's likely that he knows nowt. Anyway, surely you know zippo about what I know about how much Hall knows about Ashley? So there. common sense would suggest to me that if a club is for sale one of the first people aware of it would be the last person who owned it? they're gonna be pretty high up on the list of people likely to invest, no? I'm not doubting you like but i would have thought the person who sold something wouldn't be the most likely person to buy it back again.

Is it me or does he far too often let the opposing winger get a cross in?

That's quite a jump! He didn't do anything last night that Guthrie didn't/couldn't do. He'd have to show a lot more imo. Watching Carrick (with the ball) do him for pace was slightly worrying.

One of things i noticed when Ireland came on was that he'd clearly been told to keep close to Carrick. That prevented ManU from playing out from the back somewhat so their centre halves started to go long which we dealt with pretty well except for one scare i can remember.

Riise is too good to sit on the bench imo. If we sell Enrique, Riise could replace him. And we could buy a young left back as backup. Riise would be an exemplary model for the younger ones in our group. For Riise to replace Enrique defensively we'd need the young 'back up' LB on the pitch the same time!

Et tu, Ian..... :-( Is no one safe?

When i read that by Lee Ryder all i think of is that the club of told him to push out some propaganda to prepare everyone for Jose being sold come the summer. Wankers.

He'll be judged on the players he brings in (rightly or wrongly). I say that because i think what a manager can do with the players he inherits is more telling. However, if he's allowed to seriously strengthen the team, 2 strikers, another wide man and a back up for Tiote and Enrique (should those 2 stay) he'll end up with a good reputation imo coz he seems fairly clued in with training and matchdays.

All this stuff about waiting to see if we're safe before signing a new contract is crap imo. The club could give him a good contract with a relegation release clause if that was the case.

One thing that keeps cropping up in my mind is that, one of the supposed main reason he was brought in was that he could be better trusted in the transfer market. Now, looking at how January panned out i'm beginning to wonder, he could be better trusted to do what?

Sell him and give most of it to WBA for Brunt or to Wolves for Jarvis. Hell even Etherington would be a step up. This If we actually have signed a pre-contract agreement with Sylvain Marveaux i doubt we'll be spending a penny on another LW.

We'll need Tiote to limit Hoilett's influence.
