No, just not consistent with his quality.

He would be the best player in our squad by an absolute chasm. If he was that good, he wouldn't be signing for Newcastle. To be honest I'm suprised the likes of Wigan and Sunderland haven't gone for him. Birmingham as well it would seem would rather sign N'Zogbia. Perhaps the fact that they haven't speaks volumes. This could be a player who thinks he is entitled to be at a much higher standard than he is, put in a series of complacent ineffective performances, and subsequently wreck the entire team. This is a massive gamble, we could get survival from this, but we could get yet another massive car crash. Bore off. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong on this one, but its a case of seeing what happens in 12 months rather than everyone telling me now that I'm wrong! Whatever, I reckon you just like to create arguments and be overly negative or have the an opposite opinion for the sake of it. The fact that a highly rated player that can play in the middle of the park and is the exact creative outlet we've been crying out for since the 06-07 season or earlier doesn't appear to compute with you. Oh yeah, the fact that he's on loan as well means that there's no long-term commitment in case he does fail.. in fact the loan could in theory be cancelled if he is a disruption to the survival campaign, so there isn't really much of a risk at all. Like I said, you're whinging for the sake of it. Bore off.

Shut up you tart.

Where did you see that Dave? Impressed with that line-up, nice to see Guthrie & Barton in the middle.

Well.. this thread has backfired for you.

The president of Marseille said that Ben Arfa would be sold within 10 days... 9 days ago. In theory we should see this whole pathetic hoedown concluded tomorrow with any luck.

Surely he's going to Werder, since there's no way we could afford his wages.

It's a column written by an old County player who's pretty well known apparently. No idea who, like and I live in Nottingham So yeah, it's an opinion-based column.

New rule for this season. Maximum of 25 players over 21, including 8 players who spent three seasons in England before turning 22. Didn't know those new rules would become effective for this years season. And what happens with the players who don't make the squad? Can they still be called up in case of injuries? No, unless they're under 21 in which case they don't need to be registered. There's a whole thread about this.

What, to us? Fair enough.

Oh aye? African looking?

Haha 'G3 Blatant Hoax'. Not just a hoax, but a blatant hoax.

If we're going to do this might as well link us to Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite or something. See how thick these media cunts are.

1. The midfield was bypassed too easily (Alan Smith) 2. The keeper is beaten easily (Steve Harper) Yes he conceded the freekick but 1 & 2 The goal was from a freekick, Perch conceeded the freekick with a red card offence as it happened. You could go as far to say that it was the strikers' fault for losing possession before it bypassed Smith in midfield, but you can't. It was Perch who was at fault because he was reckless when he didn't need to be. Now cut out these stupid comments you nutty tart.

On the assumption that Nolan will be in the line-up no matter what and that Routledge & Jonas are going to be on the wings, it'll be one of Smith / Guthrie / Barton bring dropped in a 4-4-2.

I think he's co-owned, hence the confusion.

Some of these are brilliant, saw this one just now: [flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx-eCiNkOBQ&feature=related

This tactic cost us a goal against Fulham in the relegation season, it got disallowed for nothing much really. When it works it's good, but when luck's not going your way...

It was a good header, credit to him.

Every club is that. Even the big clubs like are s*** as soon as they get some injuries. I reckon that the majority of the top 4's reserves could all make an impact on our first XI

Whilst the Vuckic in the Owen role is teetering into Football Manager nonsense, you do have a good point about our insistence on 4-4-2. If we dont have wingers available, its a bit worrying that our manager cannot dream up a plan b to fit the players he has available. I don't reckon it is nonsesnse, since the 4-3-3 is realistically a narrow diamond shape with two strikers playing out wider. Vuckic plays best just behind the strikers and infront of midfield so why not? The lads out there on the wings are just going to cut in loads today anway. Obviously I was just on about for this match, not week in week out in the Prem. Just to clarify

A Keegan-esque 4-3-3 with Vuckic playing the Owen role would have been loads more creative. The fact we don't have any real wingers available and still insist on playing 4-4-2 shows a real lack of imagination regardless of the setting or context.
