CyberVillan

Well said my friend , Although no doubt the spurs fanatics will arrive soon to spoil the party

And by far and away our best defender has hardly played for the last two years, but our defence hasn't been as bad as their's, even when King did return they were letting in goals left, right and centre.

Their defence is one of the worst in the league and as such we lost less games than them so your suggestion that their defence is "more promising" is rubbish, and i don't think people need to be schooled about the Spuds team either as i'm sure everyone knows about them in here by now!!. If you dont like my opinion...dont read. To answer it like you did is in some way your opinion but you add on a slightly disrespectful ending...and I recent that. Spurs was way more attacking than Villa and if you attack more you are bound to open up for other teams to get chances to score. Martin Jol has calculated that he had a strikeforce that would win them games anyway and he wasnt wrong. Spurs attack was awesome at times. I´m not trying to school anyone about Spurs, but I try to weight in a realistic analyze on why Sneijder would prefer to choose Spurs before Villa as the clubs stands now with the squad. Many on this forum overrate the excisting squad of Villa. If we didnt get Carew, Young and Maloney in january together with a brightly playing Berger we would have had a hell of a time avoiding relegation. It was there for everyone to see... I' don't care whether you resent my post or not as i was just stating the facts :roll: , there's been a huge problem on this site with people bigging up Spurs i'm sure you are aware of that but to then go through the Spurs side in a effort to prove they are better than us is imo extremely futile, and the whole "Spurs attack so much that's why they let in goals" is absolute crap, Arsenal attack like mad and they never let in as much as them, Spurs kept around 4 clean sheets in the season!!, that's not the sign of a top class defence at all.

We don't have to put all our eggs in Sneidjer's basket, as long as these two young talented left sided play makers are still out there Nery Alberto Castillo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htu9QZYttMs And Daniel Carvalho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDMPywDQJQc who have been very impressive for their respective clubs in the champions league and imo just as good as Sneidjer then we've still got hope.

Why bother?, you'll only say it's not gonna happen!!

Because each story basically copies from the previous.... Mon was actually at an Ajax game the other day to watch Sneidjer though so i think it would be frivolous to assume that this story is purely a fabrication by Bill Howell simply because of the notion that he may read this site, this link has been hanging around for ages and no-one from the club has denied it, i for one hope we get the kid and i'd like to think Mon feels the same.

I can't believe people would be "disapointed" if mon signed Nakamura, i mean ffs the man is a class player who beat Manure with a single piece of magic on his own, for me he could be Berger's replacement!!, the man is creative and as has been mentioined his free kicks are deadly, in order to move forward we need all sorts of weapons in our side, a free kick expert is a must imo and i'd be happy enough if we got him.

I think he would prefer him in that position yes, i just think he wants actual wingers, whilst i dont think Sneidjer is he is similar to Barry as in a side midfielder not a winger. I don't think he's the same as Barry, Sniedjer is an all out attacking midfielder, Barry is a converted defender who played left back for a number of games last season, Taylor is not the fastest of players and also started as a Left back, Sneidjer is better than both Barry and Taylor and thus i personally think he'd be mad to choose Taylor over him even if he wants to play with two "wingers" which hasn't even been confirmed yet.

I dont think we are, it doesn't fit with our midfield plans imo especially if we sign NRC. Sniedjer can play across the whole midfield so i disagree with that notion, if we sign both hom and Reo-coker i imagine he'll play left side and drift in like Pires used to do at Arsenal. But i dont think MON wants another midfielder like that though, for the wings he wants wingers thats why Barry was moved in as he is not a winger. Going after Taylor and already signing Young lends itself to this. Sneijger is a similar player to Barry in the way that he is a creative midfielder not a winger, but can still play there. So you think Mon would prefer Taylor to Sneidjer?, i don't think so, he'll get the best players he can possibley get, Sniedjer also has some decent pace too so playing out wide should be fine for him, what i noticed towards the end of the season was our players moving all around the pitch, Ashley would go from left to right, Gardner would be in the center then pop up on the right!!, so it doesn't mean Sneidjer would be confined to the left hand side.

I dont think we are, it doesn't fit with our midfield plans imo especially if we sign NRC. Sniedjer can play across the whole midfield so i disagree with that notion, if we sign both him and Reo-coker i imagine he'll play left side and drift in like Pires used to do at Arsenal.

well, i believe you're wrong but you're entitled to your opinion. Solano wasn't fit to wipe Barry's boots as far as i'm concerned. if he'd ever bothered to turn up for an away match things may have been different of course. a few silky passes, and free kicks do not maketh a great player. Barry is a rare 7-8/10 player week in week out but Barry suffers from the same problem a lot of our homegrown/raised players do. some supporters think less of them because they cost nothing for what its worth, i wouldn't swap Barry for any left sided player in the premiership. that's how important i feel he is to our side Solano won us matches and created and scored more, none of his goals being from the penalty spot either, and the notion of Nobby never turning up away from home is pure myth, i remember him scoring the equeliser at Southampton when we were two down, setting up Angel at Wolves when we won four nil, Setting up Hitz at pompy, Setting up Barry at Liverppol, he played his part but it was the whole team who never turned up most times away from home not just him, My opinion is Sneidjer is better than Barry and would replace him, i don't know what the fuss is, and if you wouldn't take Robben over Barry then i think this debate is worthless.

Why wouldn't Mon sign Nigel too?, they are two different kind of players, Nigel's abilities are needed just as much as Sniejder's, we've got the money now.

Barry, was not only our best player last season, he has been for about 5 seasons on the trot. as for Petrov, i assume you're having a laugh ? granted that performance away to West Ham was excellent, but the very fact you had to go back that far says it all about Stan. one great game all season maybe, just maybe O'Neill's about to cut his losses on him and ship him out and replace with better ? and lets face it, you'd find a better player than him far quicker than you would Barry. i think thats a given Nope Barry hasn't been our "best player for the last five seasons" because Angel scored 23 goals for us not long ago and Solano was head and shoulders abouv him when he was here too!!, stop going over board, Barry is a decent player but he's not on Sneidjers level and imo Petrov will be much better next season, he showed his class towards the end of last season, plus he's got experiance of champions league football and is back on the international scene, i don't know why people are so scared of change!!, :roll:

why on earth would ANYBODY drop our best player by a mile, from a new look midfield ? what exactly had Petrov done to earn his place in the middle alongside RC ? Sneijder Barry Reo-Coker Young ... perhaps Thats the problem, he's not the "best player by a mile", he played his part but so did Gabby, so did Laursen, so did Berger and Bouma, but people seem to think that Barry done it all by himself :roll: , he's the so called "best player" in a team that finished 11th, not 4th, if we get Sniedjer then Barry will be under serious pressure, maybe people would drop Petrov instead but for me when he's on his game he's also better than Barry, that performance at West ham was just as good if not better than anything Barry done last season imo.
