Guest timmy boy Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I haven't seen him for a while, at least it's another body in who has the knack or has had the knack of scoring from midfield. Downside is that he doesn't improve the pace of the side, which is currently woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Average signing and perfect for the championship, hope Ashley just f***s off in the summer. we need players ffs, would you rather we signed no one at all? he'll be a player fit for a relegation battle unlike 3/4's of our team Yeah we need players alright but better than we've already got. He is NOT! FACT! EXACTLY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mofo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Veloso, Mbia, Donadel, Nolan..clearly we went for the best player. Can't wait to see him transform our midfield! [move]BORING SAME NEGATIVE SHIT DIFFERENT THREAD[/move] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Might do a bit of a Jenas. Shit and wank at current club... then go on a goalscoring run at new club. Probably got the ability somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trotter58 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 quality signing considering the situation we're in. Would rather have him than Veloso. Anyone who thinks he's a better player than Veloso really needs to stop taking the stupid pills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is NOT! FACT! You are aware that NICKY BUTT is our only fit first XI central midfielder, right? You know, since both Guthrie & Barton are out for about 2 months. Jesus H. Christ, have a word. We need bodies in and fast. He's not the best but he's not terrible. He knows how to survive relegation and is a leader. Two qualities we need badly.

The Prophet Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 An interesting one, not in the best form at the minute but a move from Bolton might just be what he needs, it all seems to be going a bit stale for him there. As far as we're concerned we're not after anything amazing just someone who can tackle, pass a football and occasionally gets forward, something when in form he'll do. He hasn't 'been in the best of form' for the last three seasons. He can't tackle or pass and doesn't get many goals any more (Matt Taylor is much more of a threat going forward) He's not worth his place and that's saying something because we're a pretty poor team. He can't be any worse than Nicky Butt in terms of distribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Not a world beater but the type of player we need here in a relegation scrap!! Got a text about an hour ago to also say we are buying Ryan Taylor, would be excellent, can play full back and midfield. Also saw somewhere that Fulham were lining up a £3m bid for huddlestone, i would jump in and take him for £3m as well. Exactly, or that Adel lad. Seem handy players and capable of going places. Hardly first choice players too i think would be available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trotter58 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I tell you what, if we could have Guthrie and Nolan together fit until the end of May then i would be a lot more confident than i have been over the last 20 hours. I have been fearing the worst after last night. This gives me a bit more hope IF it goes through. Seriously, why?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Neill Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 quality signing considering the situation we're in. Would rather have him than Veloso. Anyone who thinks he's a better player than Veloso really needs to stop taking the stupid pills. That doesn't say he's better than Veloso. But paying 3 to 4 times as much for a player who is unproven in the Premiership and may not fancy the upcoming relegation battle would be rather foolish.

He is NOT! FACT! Butt-Geremi or Butt-Nolan? Whether or not he's better than Guthrie or Barton is questionable - but he's better than Geremi imo. Got an eye for goal aswell, don't forget.

Yorkie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Why are people comparing him to Butt!? Guthrie and Barton are long-term injuries. The decision to go for him was probably made this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 "We need players" so we go out and get a player "We're s***, who'd want to join us lolz" So we sign somebody who isn't a world beater but is an established Premiership player used to fighting relegation and it's the WORST IDEA EVER apparently. "I'm sickened by this terrible club. Ashley out, he's spending MONEY" - This isn't Ashley's fault, if this is the best we can attract and he's stumped up the cash then so be it. Some people need to take stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Better than BUtt... No he isn't. Different position to Butt, but in terms of basic attributes such as being able to pass a football further than six yards people seem to underestimate what a shocking footballer he actually is.
