Some would say a better midfield than last season...... Shhhhhh

RE: This new youth policy - besides Mehdi - where are the new players?

oh the doom

all these injuries could be a blessing in disquise. might highlight the lack of depth we have and spur us to go after another player or two

First off, I think this would be a very good signing.....but... My fear is that if he has another run of poor form, supporters (especially this lot) will not give him time, and he becomes "another luque"

why?

did i miss something ? hehehehehehe This is so classic. Love this place......waaaaaaaahahahahaha

since betting is all the craze - how much on a new boycoutt thread starting up in the next week?

numnuts like this make it hard to be toon supporter

Post 1 January - Only 4 goals were scored between Nolan and Carrol - We survived just fine. Now add all those players and we are more than fine. Then add the strikers we are OBVIOUSLY looking for, and we are more than more than fine.

sturridge + mckreagan (scuze spelling) + 3 other highly rated players + drogba + 10mill

doh. sorry

link?

I live in a world of Ben Arfa's and Cabayes, not in a world of Nolans and Carrols, that world is reserved for Stoke

Carrol isnt far off

The reason i didnt mention outgoings is because of the Carrol money argument. My point is, everyone is fixated on the amount of money, but if Cabaye cost 10mill, etc then ppl would have been happy. I really believe our expectations are being managed. More players will come in. Lets judge then

If someone came in with a swop deal for Carrol last year that had: Cabaye, Marveux, Ba, Abeid, and a new striker of Gramerio ilk, would we have taken it ? the values associated are irrelevant i think.

Has anyone considered just for a second that they are managing expectation re: transfers? Option A : We tell supporters, clubs and agents we have loads of money to spend and will be going nuts in the transfer market Option B : We tell supporters, clubs and agents we have no money left, (but still seem to find it when players like Gameiro, Gervinho etc become available)

what is this wonderful contraption?

I think Long will be more effective in front of Hatem etc than Best would. We need a busy/quick striker making darting runs for Hatem to find. I see best coming off the bench for last 15mins when we want to bomb balls into the box. p.s. I think we can do better than Long, but definately prefer him to Best

"I know just what that shirt means to this football club, but there will be a few contenders who could wear that shirt and do it justice." Few contenders? Am i missing something?

And world war 3?

My answer is : WHO CARES? You dont get prizes for marketing, supporter club numbers, size of stadium, etc The only thing that counts is how you do in the league, ie Success. Everything else is a waste of time and counts for nothing

You could be a small club with a Russian Billionaire then buy the league and become a big club. You could be a big club with massive stadium and fill it, but be a small club. make sense?
