That's what I would want to see played. Won't happen though.

You're right, I'm sorry. We sent him out on loan 'cause he's shit and we're trying to get a fee for him, that gay blade. Carroll and Ranger are both clearly better than him at playing football AND being men!

I feel like we sent him out on loan to keep him match fit for when/if we go back up into the Prem. He's clearly of top-flight caliber and the powers that be probably didn't want to off-load him just yet after he didn't get a fair crack at it here the first season.

How do you take a team from Champions League football in 2003 to relegation in 2009? Takes something 'special' imo. Your sense of entitlement is almost as bad as a Red Sox fan's

He's a decent player. I don't dispute that. Just not a great goalscorer. He never has been, either. It would be a mistake to sign him thinking he will score at a high rate. He hasn't been a great goal scorer at a top-flight level. He would run the Championship.

Voted Williamson. Our coaches will help him more than Routledge - they will just coach all the footballing out of Routledge I imagine.

Win win for Keane if you ask me. Can get his name back in the headlines and get back to full fitness and come back to the Prem and prove a few people wrong, especially because he'll be brimming with confidence which is what all strikers need.

A lot of that could be down to the squad he's playing with. Can't score goals with any service.

He's Irish, yeah?

This is my favorite thing said in loan threads. It's always on the first page too.

Beattie bid by Fulham.

Underwhelming of course, but I will give him a fair chance like everyone deserves. Could flourish here.

Healy to Ipswitch with Daryl Murphy.

Good Post that. Agreed, very sensible.

Any reviews online? Really interested in seeing this.

Our best midfield (when everyone is fit) is clearly Routledge - Guthrie - Barton - Jonas but that will never happen.

Also, it was pretty clear to me that Ranger and Carroll up front together does us absolutely no good. How many times did they go for the same header?

Was going to ask this as well. Seems like it could be awesome and (hopefully) not just a gimmick.

Yeah I love watching the likes of Nolan and Butt scream for the ball while standing still behind one or two opposition players. Disgraceful from professional football players - my U10 girls know not to just stand there.

I just watched this match but didn't know what the bench looked like. The entire time I was thinking to myself "Jonas and Lovenkrands must be injured 'cause this game is crying out for them" but lo and behold - they sat on the bench the entire time. What a fucking waste. Why the hell are Butt Smith and Nolan playing in the same midfield at the same time, absolutely mind boggling. We really needed to win this match and the starting eleven and the subs were garbage.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yeah because it's called the Barclay's Premier League anyway.

We need to stop being so scared of having our backs to the wall. We need pace more than anything so we can go in with a positive attitude and take the game to whatever squad we face.

Ronaldo unknowingly posted a link from '09, that's about all that's happened in the last ten pages or so.

that is exactly what I'd start with.

Wow.
