f*** that, any decent PL defender should be capable of controlling and passing a ball. If he can't do that I'd rather see him exposed for the useless fruad he is rather than let him be a coward and hoof it. It's so (un)funny watching s*** old Mike struggle to control a ball and put all his mental strength into activating every muscle/tendon/ligament/nerve needed to make a pass to a teammate. He's a vision of supreme concentration, putting his head down to reveal that lovely neck tattoo, turning his gleaming athletic torso towards the destination of the ball, before stroking it with the touch of a master. Makes it look like such hard laborious work the cunt. Aye he's decent alright

I agree, in fact I'm going to go do it n

No ta. I'd rudite have Williamson.

Not really moving any goalposts. There was never any explanation for why MYM was dropped and shipped out so suddenly. In the handful of appearances he made for us, he had more standout performances than Williamson had had in his entire career. He was also better than Coloccini, whom he was bought to replace. The stat about winning headers means nowt in the grand context. The bolded is not true at all. Honestly, Dummett was more impressive at CB than MYM. I could see MYM was a very good footballer but a good defender? Not sold at all. At least in the PL. He seemed not to like the physicality, he hinted at that himself There's no deep-thinking. He was brought in to replace our captain, the captain didn't leave so the replacement did. It's that simple. The Colo/MYM partnership was awful the few times they played together. MYM not suited to the PL, but Williamson is?

The stat about winning headers means nowt in the grand context. Yes Pardew is a shifty snake, and a liar, and isn't fit to manage a football club that means so much to so many. But don't make him out to be some sort of deep thinker for getting shot of MYM because of some stand-alone stat. We could all see MYM's weaknesses, but could also see that he was an immense defender overall, and miles better than Williamson. Don't use the stat as a reason for why he was hooked, when the bloke excelled in so many other areas of the game. He was sold because Pardew was out of his depth and couldn't keep a happy squad. Nowt more, nowt less.

So you're trying to say that it was a shrewd move by the wily fox al pards to get rid of someone who can't win aerial challenges. What about keeping and persisting with Williamson who can't play football? I firmly believe MYM was brought in to replace Colo. Colo stayed and we had no use for MYM. The few times they played together, they where awful. You shouldn't have CB's with the same weaknesses, especially if it's aerial ability (we do suffer from slow ass defenders though). MYM's best performances came alongside Willo IIRC as they had the most complimentary styles. Pace and ball carrying with I guess height. IMO it's Colo staying that put MYM into the stands. Douglas was meant to be the Willo replacement. And yet time after time al pards told us how happy he was with the squad and its depth. Good for him that loveable douche.

Might have something to do with Cabella and Riviere getting injured so early on, and didn't want to risk our vulnerable defence? No idea why you'd not want to risk Willo though tbh.

Undisclosed? "in the region of" imo

Completely made-up bollocks. But say I humour you and pretend it was true, a manager who sells MYM for inability to win aerial challenges, but keeps Williamson for inability to play football is a clueless hopped up egotistical c*** who deserves no plaudits for winning the lottery by being a cockney gobshite ex-footballer. I wish him nothing but the worst in his career.

what a loathsome cretin

This is his worst trait. Criminal to call him a professional footballer.

Our main problem in recent years has been the delivery on set pieces, as well as how the players position themselves rather than having big men in the box who can jump.

Taylor also offers more of a goal threat/ability to cause chaos in the opposition box than Williamson ever could.

If McClaren and/or our coaching staff have anything about them, they'll realize that Abeid offers a lot more than both Colback and Anita, provided he trains well and shows them, obviously.

I really hope this knacker isn't club captain for the season. Literally offers nothing in the way of talent, purpose or personality. Colo with all his faults at least had some kind of stature in the game. The thought of Colback captaining NUFC is tragic.

Chancel Billups

ffs

Thats only Cabella, Elliott and Vuckic though It would appear I talk utter pap.I'm still steaming from last night if that's any concellation So nobody worth a light then Abeid too Abeid is in Sacremento Also can't quote for shit

Thats only Cabella, Elliott and Vuckic though So nobody worth a light then Abeid too Pretty sure he flew out this week. Aye he's in the training pics.

Surely if we're going after this guy, McClaren also has plans to address the service situation? He'll be almost useless without it (as is Cisse to a certain extent).

They might offer nothing when paired together in the same lineup. They do contribute far more with different players around them though. Especially Anita who can move the ball quicker in midfield than anyone else in our squad.

I'd rather have a farty, overweight, geriatric Ali Dia playing at CB than this impostor. By far THE worst footballer I have ever seen in my lifetime. For any club. Anywhere. It's an absolute travesty that he remains a PL employee with PL wages. Fuck off you utter cunt.
