PRL

No way. WAY Club, players agent and administrators in discussion yesterday So, who is saying NUFC preferred option and football decision not financial? Is that the agent, administrators or us?

QPR fans have quite the opposite view of him as they do Routledge, but as long as it's Zurab-style cover role then I suppose it can't hurt too much. Still, think i'd rather Kadar was getting games.

If fit and confident, that team is probably good enough to (just about) stay up if we get promoted. Think we have a better chance of staying up witch Taylor in there for Williamson though. Yeah, didn't see that. Also, fair point about the lack of goals, we do need a proper striker if we go up... no doubt. Still think we might stay up with the strikers we've got though, not many teams actually have good strikers anyway. I'm trying to remember who Brum have up front, but with a new striker or two I think our first 11 looks at least as good as theirs. That said I've not looked at their team for a while so I could be a mile off...

The same Guthrie who has created more league goals than anyone else in our squad? This. Nolan was diabolical in the 2-2 with WBA. Nolan's been diabolical most of the season tbh, it's the fact that the goals have dried up that makes it even worse. This. In the same way as Shola. We're too scared to drop both of them as they've scored goals, but they add nothing else to the team and prevent us playing football that might lead to any number more. So who would you replace Shola with? I'd hope a new striker, alongside Lovenkrands. Although I fear that may be asking too much.

Am I being an idiot... Danny Simpson, Routledge... who else? Are we assuming Williamson is a done deal?

Any mention of a price? It's not like QPR are hard up so must have paid a bit of cash i'd guess?

The thing is for me, are we going to bring in a player with the potential to be a better option in centre mid than Barton during the transfer window? I reckon the answer is a resounding no, so he is most definitely required as teams are beginning to suss out that if they close out our left hand side we offer absolutely nothing else. Having someone like Barton even at 70% in the middle will give them a whole new problem to worry about, it's just whether Hughton has the balls to play him there, whether he's up for it and whether our team can deprogram their 'play to the left or hoof' mentality quickly enough to stop Barton getting frustrated and going through someone with the tackle. Lots of if buts and maybe's there and sadly it's likely to backfire in one way or another, but i don't see that many other options at the minute.

Thought he was away to the mackems? Wouldn't be surprised, they seem to like Spurs reserves, haven't spotted anything saying that though, but not exactly been looking.

I'd have a cheeky look at Hutton on loan. Sounds like he can't get a sniff at Spurs, always looked decent when I saw him playing and could be a reasonable permanent option if we get promoted.

It's nothing that hasn't been said but our centre midfield just isn't mobile enough. We get overrun whenever we come up against any remotely decent opposition. Smith hasn't really shown much since the first few games of the season, bar a couple of desperate blocks / lunges he really brings nothing to the team. How he stayed out of the book last night is absolutely beyond me (that said, how they ended with 11 men I'll never know). Nolan at least seemed to be trying to get into positions and get involved in the game, dropping back on occasions. Smith doesn't even show for the ball when it's around the half way line. I find myself screaming at the television every time we have a throw in because barely anyone moves an inch, more often than not a throw in simply ends with us returning possession to the opposition. I hope against all hopes Barton comes back and makes the difference but we all know Hughton will not drop Smith or Nolan. At least if we play someone away from home he may be inclined to include all 3 of them, but that is likely to leave Ameobi up front on his own again, which is another disaster waiting to happen.

Was debating it as I am currently sat a matter of yards away, however I am watching it with a Forest fan and think I will do so in the solitude of my flat. The lads down there are always good craic, although I tended to see most of them down the Famous Three Kings - hopefully will again if we get promoted (they show any game provided there is a live feed for it somewhere in the world, which tended to be the case when we were in the Premier and sadly is no longer)

I'd take Nolan out and add Gutierrez to start...

I'll be interested to see crowd numbers for the scousers this evening...

Figures that you prefer to ignore the posts from someone who's probably watched Beckford more than anyone else on this board. You're living in a fantasy world skirge, grow the f*** up man. It's better than you're attitude of 'I KNOW I'M RIGHT, I'M ALWAYS RIGHT. I KNOW MORE ABOUT LEEDS THAN ANYONE!!! LA LA LA..." This. Fucks sake, reading this thread is utterly tedious. Ronaldo - Go out, get laid or get a job or something, you are obviously very pent up. Someone has a quote under their name that you made about us lot 'sticking together', yet you proceed to be what can only be deliberately divisive. We all have different opinions, it's football, it's not predictable hence whilst you might disagree with people attempting to belittle them and mock them because they don't share your view does you no favours whatsoever. Skirge is one of the nicest guys on this bloody board and yet you have been such a little bitch to him even he's having a go back.

Slow day.

I agree. I reckon we'd get Beckford if we offer £1.5m + Ranger for rest of season. That would suit both parties as I feel Ranger would thrive at Leeds and Beckford would be ideal for us. Anything other than them getting a proven goalscorer to replace beckford is not a suitable deal for them atall. I think Ranger will improve, but that takes time & its a risk in general let alone using him to replace someone whos already scored 20 this season. Carrolls the same, theyd laugh off both offers. Is the right answer. Beckford offers up something that our current lot (bar Shola) does not, or else we wouldn't be in for him in the first place. Shola plays on the shoulder of the last man and gets in behind defences? Really?

Could someone possibly photoshop him onto a crucifix in that pose?

Why wouldn't you want to bring in a player for nothing (no fee and no wages as your suggesting) in a position were we currently only have one option? I would rather we signed a left winger who is going to play for use next year & I don't think the x-Toronto player would that fit the bill. We already have squad more than capable for "this division", we need start adding players who will help us next season if/when we go up. a winger for next season, we don't even know what division we'll be in Me V You I will give you £50.00 if we are not in the PL.........you can give me £10 if we are. I'll take that bet

Did Tandy have to pay anything to replace Barton's shirt which he set fire to? That was the outstanding £435,000. It was a nice shirt.

If someone is willing to do it I would recommend setting up a trust with a couple of trustees with all people contributing to the shares down as beneficiaries. It might cost a small amount of the money to set up said trust but it would be a good long term vehicle to use and only needs to be done once we know a takeover is looking likely to go ahead.

I PMed Dave about it earlier as I didn't really want it to appear as a bit of a 'cock-off' with regards to how much each of us would put in, but as it seems you're all discussing various shares at various amount I'll lump myself in anywhere up to £500. Don't mind if that's just smushed in with everyone elses or whether it's easier to give less. I don't particularly care too much on the 'having a say' side of things (within reason) i just want my fucking club back.

Hahaha... But seriously, my dad is not quite as athletic as he was 10 years back and this thing looked like a mini-dress on him. Which in itself was a little odd.

My dad bought the Kevin Nolan shirt he wore for the Bristol City game at a charity auction for £55! Obviously rather different circumstances, but still, amazing work for this one to get so high. Must admit, I was surprised he wore XL, i guess at least you're getting more material for your cash.
