nobby_solano Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 well his brother was a knacker for a few years when he was younger too, drink driving, dodgy videos etc, but he matured into a world class defender, not saying anton will like but he'll be a lot better away from london i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brewcastle Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 NUFC homepage concider Per Ciljan Skjelbred as "21-year-old Norway defender....". Seems like NUFC haven't any close eye to "Ciljan". Because he isn't a defender Anyway. Fulham have shown their interest. So with NUFC speed at the transfer-market it's to believe he will be a Fulham-player if he leaves Rosenborg BK. -Looks like Fulham is close to a deal with picking up the Rosenborg-defender Fredrik Stoor.....

STM Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Tremendous, i'm a big fan of Sidwell. Imagine if he joined Villa, O'Neill would undoubtebly turn him into one of the countries top midfielders. He worked wonders with Reo-Coker, the same would happen again. Very impressed with O'Neills ability to spot a good player and raise his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teepee Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i would like us to get sidwell in - as for the rat, then i'd rather we try to get in a backup player for the full back positions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Not sure how I'd feel about Sidwell. A bit 'meh' I think. Exactly my thoughts, I'm not his biggest fan and I don't really see him as much of an improvement on anything we've currently got at the club.

Yorkie Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Sidwell was average when we were linked with him from Reading. A year in the reserves at Chelsea won't have helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I've never, ever seen the fuss about Sidwell. Deeply average player. Agree with that. He'd be a good squad player but only if it's a small fee and modest wages. Spending about £2m replacing Emre with Sidwell wouldn't be wise imo.

Disco Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I've never, ever seen the fuss about Sidwell. Deeply average player. Fully agree, neither good enough defensively nor offensively to be classed as a good midfielder IMO. If we spent more than £3m on him I'd be disappointed and he appears to be too money motivated in my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Sidwell went to Chelsea for the money. He can't possibly have thought he was going to displace any of their superstars and force his way into the regular first 11. In fact, wasn't it said by Mourinho when he joined that he would mostly play cup games? He was a free transfer too so Chelsea can go spin for that £5 million. Like Scott Parker and Shaun Wright-Phillips before him he has damaged his career by going to Chelsea. Maybe Sidwell won't turn out to be a one season wonder but I'd rather risk the money and wages on someone who played last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
