  1. Not sure why people are having a go at Bennett tbh.One of the better players yday, put the only decent balls into the box, and was sound defensively.Played well agianst Spuds and kept Lennon quiet as well. Lowton on the other hand has been awful the last 2/3 games.Gave 2 goals away against Spuds, and at least 1 yday .He needs a rest.
  2. In the last 3 games he has played against Valencia..........best right sided player in the league, Aguero......one of the best strikers in the world, and Oxlade-Chamberlain......a supposed new superstar, and i think has acquitted himself very well.Had a dodgy end to the 1st half tonight, at fault for Ures winner, but overall very capable.The one thing he does better than Bennett, is he supports the attack better.Plays the LB role the way it should be played, got good acceleration, does'nt get beaten that often....cost how much? He ensures that LB is not a priority.
  3. Thanks for that. You assume i have a greater knowledge of computer knowhow than i have.Links?.........would'nt know where to start.

    Streams?

    At the risk of getting another "warning", what happened to the streams links yday? Made an enquiry on the match thread, i know it says no mention, but where else was i supposed get as an immediate response as possible? Has the site been "threatened" by copyright laws?
  5. Very impressed with him yday, can see why he compares himself to Carrick.Nice footballer who tries to keep the ball, but more importantly always tries to be positive, in contrast to Delph and KEA who are too safe sometimes.
  6. Fantastic movement off the ball, always looks like getting a goal to me........our Hernandez and worth his 1st team place
  7. No CI , Albrighton can't create.In the last 12 months has completely lost his confidence/ability. He has as good a cross on him as anyone, a Beckhamesque ability if you like, but we haven't seen that ability in 12 months.I hope he gets his back, as he comes across as a nice kid.
  8. For all their faults, Ireland and N'Zog are the only players we have in our squad who can create.Holman can't, Gabby can't, Albrighton can't. We have no alternative atm but to play Ireland and N'zog, with for me Delph and KEA holding and Weimann playing wide to Bent.No good going on about how bad he is, we have no alternative.
  9. I like him.Has good pace, plays the simple ball, closes down well, starting to be a key player.The problems are in front of him.Gabby, Holman, N'Zog, Albrighton, Ireland, haven't been creative enough.One or two of them need to step up.Keep playing KEA and Delph together.
  10. He's the only player we have in the 1st team squad who can beat players , we NEED him to be a success, or buy a replacement.I would prefer the former.
  11. I'll stick my neck out here.He is a better player at 19, than Cahill was, and he will be an England International. Never been over convinced about Clark, but i am about Baker.Nice lad as well apparently.
  12. We've swapped the Dutch C/H for the Welsh C/H.Not a bad deal in my eyes. Collins was a committed defender, who was prone to lunge in, and either give silly free kicks away or get caught out of position,Would have preferred Dunne to go, but want both to go along with Warnock and Hutton. Would be delighted if Douglas comes in tbh.
  13. I agree 8pints......i think Herd's long term position is as aq centre half. I really rate Baker though.
  14. Capoue and Sissokho.Double signing as our big signing. Carroll is far too expensive, and i believe too immobile for the way Lambert wants to play.Apart from Bent, i' m not sure about the rest of the fowards.For me it is make or break season for Gabby.Steady improvement under MON, 2 shit seasons under 2 different managers since, and signs of a bed attitude.Weimann looks lively, but lacks pace, Fonz is hard to judge, might be a step too far.I think Rodrigues, who has gone to Southampton would have been a very good buy, but we probably need a 25/26 striker from abroad, a la Cisse.
  15. Whenever i saw him, i always thought he was one of our better players.Ure away, Nooocastle at home, Fulham at home.Nice pass on him, a bit too clever for some of the players around him sometimes.Alongside a Capoue kind of player would be very good imho.
  16. I might be tempted to let Given go, if we can get the Chelsea/Ath Madrid goalie on loan for a season, and see how Siegriest develops.
  17. Disappointed, but not surprised.He has ambition to be a manager, and good luck to him.17 years of success at youth/reserve level entitle him to the view that he has deserved a chance at the big time, and it has, good luck and thanks Kevin.
  18. Thinking about it , swap Delf and BB for him. Not sure either will be top quality, think Rodriguez could be.
  19. This kid is going to be a very good striker.Quick, good feet, cool finisher. Granted at 21 can go either way, but for me we should be buying youngsters who might be top quality, some you win with, some you lose.Delf was up there on loan a couple of seasons ago, maybe use him as a part exchange, and i'll think we will get the better deal.
  20. Don't be too downhearted Wiz.When Ron Saunders went in 81/82, i worried,........we went on to become European Cup Winners. When Yorkie left, i worried.........and then we signed Paul Merson. Good Luck to Norwich, good supporters, proper supporters, good club, and the fact you are so gutted gives me more confidence in the appointment.
  21. Have to say having watched Rhodes and Rodriguez at Burnley, for me Rodriguez is the one i would go for. Obviously PL will have his own thoughts/targets, but i hope we go for young up and coming stars, and not players who are coming for a final pay day.So no to Holt for me.
  22. Would'nt play well with Bent imho.Bent needs a Beardsley kind of player, or a Robbie Keane. But we have spent 2 years reducing the wage bill, clearing the older players on high wages, signing a Keane or a Holt, for me would'nt fit in with the new framework.
  23. Have to say Trees, that CI is right.You was'nt the only poster who reported the OGS interest.Somebody told me about he was told about the interest on Thurs, so don't beat yourself too much over it. Have to say your contribution was fantastically entertaining, and would'nt have OGS, and the consequences of coming, happened anyway?
