Frazzle

My issue is that time and effort were wasted on something we really don't need, at a time when we don't have one left back at the club and our "strikers" can't score for f***. You really think we've just stopped on the other two possible deals to sign this lad don't you. It's absurd. Not really no but the whole point is that this a pointless transfer. Say Harper is injured and Krul gets sent-off...are you happy with Soderberg or Alnwick stepping in? Most clubs have 3 senior keepers on their books. Even Sunderland signed another keeper despite having Gordon & Mignolet. When you put it that way, I guess signing Elliot makes sense. But I'd rather he was used as the third choice keeper instead of 2nd choice (which seems to be the plan if he does sign). Surely if we were that concerned about injuries and suspensions we could have saved ourself another wage by not letting Forster go to Celtic for a season ? Forster wouldn't have agreed to that. Plus, won't Celtic by paying Forster's wages? Forster wouldn't have a say he has a contract at the club. Who's to say he's to be sat on the bench, a moment ago Krul was getting suspended and Harper injured whats to say he doesn't get and keep his chance ? To many players unwilling to fight for their places now a days. Bet Hart's happy he fought for his place at Man City. It's quite clear players hold a lot of power these days. There's no point holding players against their will. Too many players may be unwilling to fight for their places but that's the way it is. Hart fighting for his place at Man City involved a few loans as well fwiw.

We're not going down this season. And I'm not dismissing the August games. I think we can get a win at Sunderland with or without a left-back. I'm p*ssed off it's taking us so long to sign a left-back but some of the reactions are bordering ridiculous. Hull City, September 2008. No way we were going down that season, absurd. Chances are we won't have 4 managers this season though.

Cabaye is unproven. Can't say he's as good as Emre. The equivalent of saying you can't say Aguero is as good as Balotelli because he's unproven. What a load of rubbish man. :-[ I was being sarcastic man! Everyone keeps saying stuff like that and it annoys me a bit as well.

Aye, they've changed it now. Situ with deux, Remy non. Yep. The article is a bit rubbish anyway, there's a few other things that don't make sense.

The Sunday Sun article is recent, Douglas has just mixed up his dates I think. There are Northern Echo and Daily Mail articles from February 2010 saying Carr is about to join.

You not impressed with Pancrate, Best & Perch? You negative b******, you obviously would only be happy if we bought a squad of Ronaldos and Messis!!1!!1!! To be fair none of the players you've mentioned where 'Carr signings'. He was chief scout at the time. Who's were they? Hughton's? He joined in February 2010. They all signed in January 2010 or before.

Situ scored two then according to that.

How did you find this out? nufc.co.uk Thanks

How did you find this out?

Listed as a striker on the official site.

Aguero: 20 in season? How about 20 in 10 games?

Don't worry, I'm confident Graham Carr will not find it difficult to replace him. We both doubted him but he's replaced Carroll and Enrique easily enough hasn't he? What would convince you that Carroll had been replaced?

I explained the difference between the two statements. If you can't understand that then you may need help. Bit defensive aren't you? Don't like your opinions challenged for fear of being shown up?

Well considering you've changed your originally statement, it is a little easier to understand. As I pointed out there's a difference between the statements. You're wrong as to whether he would be the type of player they need. He would be a big help in games when they come up against teams who can go toe to toe with them. They obviously wouldn't need him against the likes of West Brom.

That in response to me? Either way, there's a difference between saying Tiote isn't a Man U player and Man U don't need Tiote. The first statement if the kind of crap that Liverpool fans come out with when they are linked with players. The second statement is a fair enough statement but I reckon they'd get some benefit from having him, especially when they came across teams who can keep the ball comfortably in midfield. His energy and dynamism is a big help in those situations.

In what sense? Unless you mean because he plays for us.

That means Best was our least influential player?

Does 'og' mean 'and' in Norweigan/Swedish/Danish? Danish I think Norwegian, and it means "and" 3 points to Frazzle. Congrats. I had three guesses to be fair but thanks!

Does 'og' mean 'and' in Norweigan/Swedish/Danish?

He doesn't look a day over 30.

The difference being that de Jong jumped into the player and Tiote jumped in front of the player.

He took a ball in the corner in the first half exquisitely.
