Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Good player Young, I like him a lot. If he doesn't play for England in the next 12 months, then my name's Marlon Harewood. He's a very good player imo, could maybe fill that left wing role for England? I fear the golden child Downing may present a frankly ridiculous obstacle.

McCormick Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 young's a good player- bags of potential (overrated by villa fans though) Nrc- meh knight- ok sometimes but usually a clumsy pleb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 knight- ok sometimes but usually a clumsy pleb What about as a fourth choice CB? How does this look as a CB line up - Laursen, Mellberg, Cahill, Knight? Or Laursen, Mellberg, Cahill, Davis, Knight? Looked at in that light, it makes sense. If he were signed as a starting CB it would be entirely different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect its because he is not African or has experience of the French league as thats how Harry usually goes about his business (e.g's: Benjani,lua lua,kanu,mveumba,traore,utaka,pamarot,lauren etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Tomorrow's Sun reckons Chelsea and Spurs are in talks to swap Defoe and SWP and that it's held up because Spurs want SWP + cash, which given the way he's started the season sounds like a rip to me.

Had me confused for a while, I must say. I thought brummie must mean that too. I was thinking more along the lines of buying them and selling them off again before they'd even had a chance to prove themselves. Redknapp clearly doesn't think much of his own judgement and that would be a worry for a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more along the lines of buying them and selling them off again before they'd even had a chance to prove themselves. Redknapp clearly doesn't think much of his own judgement and that would be a worry for a start. Yeah that's why it had me stumped because I don't recall us doing that with anyone. Really surprised at Redknapp wanting to sell him. Can't exactly do Nugents confidence a whole lot of good either, being discarded after just 4 games. Might put other signings off if they see how he's been treated as well. If it was me, I know I wouldn't want to work under a manager who has such a lack of faith in his players he is willing to sell a new signing after just a handful of games, especially one that's come from a lower division. On the whole Nugent thing, a friend of mine who lives in Burnley says there's talk in that part of the world of a conspiracy - Preston wouldn't sell him directly to Derby because of Billy Davies and the whole saga with him leaving Preston for Derby last year. So when Sunderland pulled out of the race to get him, Portsmouth agreed with Derby to buy Nugent then sell him on for the price they bought him for. Interesting stuff. Seems a bit far fetched to me though. The lad who told me it thinks Steve Caldwell is a "top class" Premiership centre back! So he's famed for talking nonsense!

Yep, that's what I mean, although, you're right, totally different set of circumstances and thus totally incomparable, I was referring to a general sense of messing the player around (although I wonder if it is the other way around with Nugent). Only other example i can think of is us signing David Unsworth, then less than a month and no appearances later, selling him to Everton. What has gone on with Nugent? That's a bizarre state of affairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Crouch is on the move apparently Villa and Man City lead the pack. Crouch spoke at Lee Hendrie's leaving dinner a couple of months ago, and said that if he left Liverpool, he'd come back here like a shot. We'd never pony up the kind of cash they want for him, though. Don't they want 20m or something for him? Different regime or not, selling a player for 2m then buying him back a few years later for 10 times as much would be quite something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be looking for him to partially fund the Baptista deal. :giggle: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
