    I think he's second to Samaras.
  2. ml1dch
    Well no, but it's not really his fault that Woodgate doesn't want to stay. Can't see why anyone would want to stay up there.
  3. ml1dch
    Would we? Can't think I'd have been overly bothered. Would be fine and very interesting. But I don't think that the majority are realistic targets, and certainly not at the prices that you suggest. But we've covered that.
  4. ml1dch
    But so was Baros. To whom we would have applied Premiership financial attitudes to.
  5. ml1dch
    I think Boruc and Bellamy are the two names that keep jumping into view. Plus most of West Brom's first team. Sidwell pops up now and again.

    With all due respect, I think you need to look at nearly doubling all of those prospective sums. Why would Liverpool accept a bid of £1.5 million for Carson? Why would Newcastle want to let Scott Parker leave for less than they paid for him? The fees that I've heard rumoured for Nugent are closed to £7 million.
  7. ml1dch
    How on earth do you add up the potential values of those players and arrive at £22 million?
  8. ml1dch
    Fair point. Move along people, nothing to see from that particular point...
  9. ml1dch
    I would bet my mortage that if we had spent the £9.5 million that we spent on JPA on Benni McCarthy, then we would have had an awful lot more goals scored over the last six years.
  10. ml1dch
    Oh yeah??? Er....yeah.
  11. ml1dch
    WHY??? Because you have suggested one of the most ineffective strikers to ever play Premier League football?
  12. ml1dch
    Luka Toni or Samaras. We've seen some ridiculous suggestions for strikers on this thread, but I think we have a new winner.

    For all you James Beattie fans: http://www.jamesbeattie.net/ The last post on the forum was at the start of February. Says a lot really. Feel free to sign the guestbook

    Fair enough, but who in their right mind would set up a James Beattie fansite?!
  15. ml1dch
    Goalkeeper is the one position where I'm not sure that is a positive thing. Experience is far more important, and I'm fairly sure that most goalkeepers would say they are at their peak in their early 30s. Boruc is 27, so theoretically has ten years left at the top, and we'd be getting him just as he hits his best. Still, who knows. Unless something amazing happens, I'm happy with Sorensen for the moment.
  16. ml1dch
    By whom?
  17. ml1dch
    Ian Wright and Kevin Campbell?
  18. ml1dch
    I think he’s best left on the ‘Politicians’ thread in Off-Topic
  19. ml1dch
    He has ten league goals, three of which were penalties which he scored against West Ham, Bolton and Wigan. And spent two months out injured.
  20. ml1dch
    Three. Still, penalties are never the best thing to bring up when assessing JPA's Villa career.
  21. ml1dch
    Yakubu might have something to say about it as well. It's not as if George Boateng and Lee Cattermole are the reincarnations of Puskas.
  22. ml1dch
    No, I'd agree. But I also don't think he can be discounted for this argument, considering that during JPA's "peak" he was an England international with an excellent scoring record (albeit better for country than club).
  23. ml1dch
    Yeah, I think the point that the poster is making is that it's all very well sitting and watching an occasional highlights programme, but in order to speak with confidence about any player I do think you need to have watched them slightly more than that. If Sid does spend his weekend flying from Monte Carlo to Udine to watch Muntari and Touré then fair enough, that certainly shows dedication. Otherwise I think the poster is fairly valid is his suggestions that maybe Championship Manager, Youtube and Wikipedia shouldn't be relied upon when rating how good a player might be for us.
  24. ml1dch
    "Dream" Champions league final? I'd say I have a passing interest and will probably watch it, but I can't see why anyone other than the fans of the teams involved and ITV would have a "dream final"
  25. ml1dch
    Right wing, but can play on the left as well.
