Petrov, Young, Barry, Maloney, Gardner, Berger and hopefully NRC. Compared to these he is not quality, and he does not fit the bill considering what we have been fed from our club.

Agreed TRL . IMO he wouldn't add anything to our squad and would come behind all of the players you mention in the pecking order. There's no point signing someone just because they are better than McCann. We should, and I'm confident we will, be aiming higher than above-average Championship players who have already tried in the Prem and, to borrow from BFR, didn't exactly pull up any trees.

just read that Steven Taylor at Newcastle is unhappy

Where did you get this DAH? Wouldn't mind winding up a few Geordie colleagues who have been singing Taylor's praises this morning. FWIW I don't rate him.

Would he (Jagielka) play at right back?!

Maybe. Everyone's favourite moaning tosspot Neil Warnock had been touting him as a future England right back. He'd be a great signing IMO.

i don't know how many goals you need to be a goal scoring midfielder

I reckon you couldn't complain if a midfielder got double figures.

Always thought Cisse was a winger who Liverpool didn't really know what to do with.

walter pandiani?

:shock:

Not just a good start, but a great one as far as I am concerned, by both Carew and Young. Shame the result didn't follow.

Honestly? Apart from Blues, who I view as a mild irritant, I don't really care. In fact, I like to see sides from that part of the world doing well. Maybe that comes from living away and defending 'my people' from the odd moronic mackem and every Geordie (they're all morons :winkold: ) who think we're all Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet clones. It also means I don't have to put up with stick from Baggies, Blue and Wolves at work, down the pub etc so I'm sure that has an effect.

Pedantic hat on...

Bale's Welsh isn't he?

...and off again.

You're right though John. I'd add Ashley Young of Watford to that list

Papa Bouba Diop?

Yeah, he'd do as well. Must think harder next time :-)

what would peoples responses be if we got robbie savage in jan?

I'd say he was over rated and past it, and not the sort of player we need.

Indeed. Although someone in his mould but better who runs around all day, tackles hard and well, and is generally a bit nasty would be lovely. Nobody young enough or available enough springs to mind though. Even Martin and Randy couldn't bring Gattuso could they?

Barton?

Now there's a thought. He'd take some prising away from Citeh, where he is treated like a God, though.

When they sign a player, they open their doors to the fans.....

Yeah, but it's not as if they've got jobs to go to. Have you noticed how they never do it on giro day?

Back on topic I'm with you Ronk. N&P know they are way behind and need to try something a bit audacious to get back in the game. A bit like a manager who's 3-0 down sticking 4 up front for the last 10 minutes. Never works...
