NEEJ Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Sol Campbell is as sub-standard as Alan Smith now? Pathetic. I'm not saying they're on a par but you can hardly claim that Campbell has been decent this season. He also doesn't fall into the category of a lower league player or a hungry youngster does he? It was just an example Ronaldo, don't get your thong in a twist You taking the piss? Barring West Brom away he's looked solid and commanding. He's exactly the type of player we need to cover for flappy arms Taylor when he drops a bollock, because he reads the game so well. His bad game was against Liverpool. I don't think he was that bad against Liverpool. I thought he was poor against West Brom, where he was caught out of possession numerous times and constantly looked to hoof the ball. Unless my eyes deceived me from 30 yards away from the match. He was horrific against Liverpool. There was at least 4 times when he misjudged the balls flight and put us in trouble. See their goal, see Tiote's yellow card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I can't believe a cb played as badly as sol did against Liverpool and we still won. If that was Liverpool of old it would have been double figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 A tabloid claimed this morning that Connor Whickham was on our wishlist We'd better get ready to splash some proper money then, this kid is on a lot of radars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 A tabloid claimed this morning that Connor Whickham was on our wishlist He's got potential, but he's far from a Premiership player at the moment and he's pretty similar to Carroll (although is a better player on the floor than Carroll was at 17). Apparently he doesn't completely see eye-to-eye with Keane, and that has fueled the link that Ipswich will try to cash in on him. While he suits our 'model' he is probably a bit too expensive at the moment and is not really the player we need right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Talkshit: Kevin Gameiro is set to shun his Premier League admirers and move to Valencia. Newcastle, Tottenham and Arsenal have been linked with the striker, who has fallen out with his manager Christian Gourcuff at current club Lorient, and a move to England looked imminent. But interest from the La Liga side could put pay to the chances of the 23-year-old crossing the English Channel with the opportunity to move to sunny Spain proving more alluring. The player has been valued at £10m but his eagerness to leave the Ligue 1 club means the club will have to settle for a figure more around the £6m mark. Never heard of him myself, just remember someone mentioned him a while back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless my eyes deceived me from 30 yards away from the match. Sol was very poor at Liverpool as well. What the hell is he doing for their goal? Not to mention misreading the flight of the ball multiple times which almost cost us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Would stay clear of Connor Whickham for the money they want as he clearly has not scored a enough goals yet for the sort of money talked about. 16 & 0 so far this season. (3 starts) http://soccernet.espn.go.com/player/_/id/130189/connor-wickham?cc=5739 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got potential, but is certainly living off hype at the moment. It's worth noting that he has had injury problems this season and when he has started he has been a handful.

Guest rosstoon Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ive heard that we are looking to sign Adam Lallana from saints. They are looking to wrap the deal up in early January. The source is a Friend of his who use to play youth team football with him before he went to Saints. The offer is in the region of £1.5m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Lacks that killer pace most managers are looking for out wide that is why he not moved on from the Saints already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosstoon Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Wouldnt say he lacks pace, if he does from what i see at the level hes playing at hes exceptional. I owuld like him as he can put in a cross which is more than Routledge can. Again this is all based on lower level football but obviously Pardew knows him and will know if he is ready for the step up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Was in the U21 set-ups, he's 22 now. makes no difference. It does for the next set of qualifiers. Considering he's not in the current set up for the Championship coming up, and his last appearence at any youth level was back in 2009 I think it's safe to say his career in youth internationals is over.

Cronky Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I don't see why we'd want Wickham. We've already got two big young strikers on long-term contracts. There are other priorities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 From The Sun. TARGETS: Southampton starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ipswich's Connor Wickham and QPR's Adel Taarabt. I know this is probably just shit made up, but hasn't Taarabt been great this season? Haven't seen him myself but i have read here and there that he's in good form.
