they believe they have too much pulling/ spending power for spurs to resist. spurs on the other hand - see them as a bit of a nursery.

 

TBF, they're just a wee club from the North-East.

 

If they want to throw 10M at us - as many of them seem to - then I think that might do the trick. It's instructive how different their reaction is to Villa and Swansea's, though. Swansea loved Caulker, but knew that we'd only loaned him out to get game time, and that there was no chance of buying him. They were just happy to have him in their team. Villa were less happy to be helping us out, but for the most part accepted that he was going back to Spurs at the end of the season. Sunderland just sound a bit desperate.

 

I think the desperation stems from us not having any real quality at full back since Makin and Gray more than a decade ago. Christ, Gardner looks a lot better there than some of the dross we've had over the years.

 

That said I wouldn't pay £10m. Between £5m and £8m seems about right to me.

 

Yeah, 10M sounds like a no-brainer. I'd be extremely surprised if we went for 5, but 8M might be a tough decision. The main issue is that we really do need a back-up at LB, and there aren't many out there.

 

What do you think of him? I'd love to take most RTG comments at face value, but I worry that he's being over-praised. He hasn't convinced me at all in our shirt, although there were signs that he could make a decent LB, given time.

 

Honestly the praise he gets is justified. He has actually been that good. Strong in the tackle, great engine, supports the attack well and has a cracking left peg. What more do you want from a full back?

Wait wait, the new Mackem doesn't think Phil Bardsley is Cafu reincarnate? If you survive a derby without going nuts you'll be the sanest one of you lot I've come across on the Internet :lol:

 

He gives 100%, scores the odd long ranger. His positioning, particularly at set pieces is woeful for a Premier League defender. Has done a good job and currently our longest serving player but I think a lot of fans have wanted us to move on from him for a while now. Bit like yourselves and Simpson.
