Aye, his preferred position is left wing. We dont need a left winger nad we're crying out for a centre forward and a centre midfielder. Another reason why us signing him doesn't make sense. especially at that fee.

Because he's shite, thats why. Though not as bad as Heskey like.

It's bollocks man. It's clearly obvious bollocks. Marseille need to sell to buy so they're pretty desperate to get him shifted. This fella has come out and confirmed they've had interest from us in an attempt to drum up some offers from other potential suitors. While all along we still haven't made any contact with them because Hughton hasn't got 5M to spend on 1 player.

1 player doesn't make a team you know Did last season in their case. without him, they'd have been relegated. simple as.

teach I say learn and I know plenty of others that do too

To be fair to Kinnear we were 19th when he came in with Everton, Villa and City next up and 17th when he took ill and left. Maybe he would have kept us up.....

Hope they get sued to fuck. That'll learn the sad cunt

This 25 man squad thing is a bit stupid imo That celebration is absolutely fantastic too!

Not many. The only time we get good crowds for friendlys is if we've got a few new signings to show off, and James Perch is hardly going to drag people through the door.

I vote new thread. Good signing. Kadar clearly isnt ready to potentially start for a long period of time in the premiership, Taylor out for god knows how long leaving us with only 2 centre halves that are good enough. Campbell proved last season he can still do a job at this level. Get him in for a year as cover first and foremost, no doubt he's probably good enough still to rival Colo and Williamson. This is not to mention his premier league experience, something we haven't actually got in abundance along the back line. Pleased with that, nice little piece of business.

It's not going to happen.

I absolutely love the OP's username like.

He's young and has potential/sell on value. He is nothing like what we would have signed towards the end of the old board's time. I was talking in terms of price. Can you seriously see us spending 5M+ on 1 player?

Defending for the first goal.

Not having a pop at anyone but this Ben-Arfa stuff is a none starter isnt it? He'd be the exact type of player we'd have gone for under the old board, something Hughton said we wouldnt be doing. And when you consider that this paper has already linked us with Erdinc who's way out of our league price wise it's likely that this is bollocks.

Highlights anywhere online?

Not just the 6 starts but the failure to get goals consistently wherever he has been in his career at a lower level.

Best has had time to prove himself. Granted it wasnt very long, but at the end of the day he failed to score in 11(?) championship games for us, add that to the fact he hasnt showed he might have the ability to do well in the PL at any point in his career, could anyone blame Hughton or anyone else for not having faith in him to get the goals to keep us up? He'll get his chances, if he impresses in training/pre season/in substitute appearances this season then he'll earn the faith and change peoples minds. However I dont think he's good enough to do that.

Carroll is better than Jones imo. Jones is fucking gash.

You can, I'm just about to do it for Villa. So you can still buy tickets up there?

gogonileranger was actually Nile Ranger. Nobody can tell me it wasnt.

No doubt some will have read here. Stephen Elliot used to post on the SMB iirc

Shame really. Would they still be in this position if they had qualified for the CL?

Not sure if it was 90K but It would have been massive wages. He was probably on massive wages at Pompey too, which wouldn't surprise me at all considering the state they are now in.
