Optimistic Nut Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Blackburn, QPR, Norwich, Swansea, Wigan & Wolves at the very minimum will be below us in May even if we have a dodgyish season imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmsy10 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Don't know if this has been posted but check out the Qatari U17 team from the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland. The number 9 who scores a hat trick looks like some prospect! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14354462.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well, if they are playing for the U17s they probably have been in the country since they were little so it's sorta ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Incidentally they got a few of our youth staffers and coaches for that Aspire project, plus they are heavily rumored to be in for Guardiola for their NT after he finishes with Barça.

Beren Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Wigan look certs to me. They have barely scraped it these last seasons and with N'Zogbia leaving they are left with almost nothing to carry them. And Cleverley is gone too. Big player for them last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 All depends on how quickly Blackburn sack Kean imo. Bin him early and they've got a chance to get themselves out of it. Harsh as fuck reading that back seeing as a ball hasn't been kicked yet and already I've assumed they'll be in trouble early and will sack the boss.

Guest Heneage Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Could be a Giggs but Tim Vickery was telling an interesting story on the World Football Phone In a few weeks back. Basically over the years he's had managers (wouldn't name them) come to him and ask for essentially scout reports on players. He said they were predominantly players being offered by agents who often had misleading DVD's suggesting they had a star on their hands. What made it interesting was he said before Wigan signed Boselli another Premier League manager had called about him. He told him in no uncertain terms to avoid him like the plague and that he would bomb in England. Obviously Wigan then went on to sign him and the rest is history. I found it interesting that some managers will actually ask journalists/writers for their opinions on players. Makes me wonder if we've ever been in touch.

Guest hobshobs Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think Villa will be in trouble this year. Not necessarily relegation per se, but they'll be flirting with it. So look for Given to do another runner February / March next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
