Obvious with the FACT that Gabby has scored 6 goals in his first full season mainly playing out wide including scoring at three of the top fours grounds, Nugent is older than Gabby and has never played in the premiership, again it's not rocket science. :roll: We are arguing over something we can have no idea of and this is my whole point, picking who is gonna be the better player is pure conjecture at this stage. So surely its best to have the both of them and double our chances of finding the genuine article! I agree we have to bring in any class players on the market but these are going to be few and far between (and its by no means a certainty they will join us anyway!) so why not bring in exciting talent to compliment these, if only to enhance our standing in the near future?

Demitri top level proven players simply are not going to join a club not even in the UEFA cup. We may get the odd one with some previous baggage (ie Carrew) but not enough to rebuild an entire team straight away. Surely its best to buy these potential top players to compliment the slow influx of proven quality over the next few years. After all why put all our eggs into one basket and hope the young players we have will make the step up (odds are they all wont) so surely its best to spread the risk and buy as many as we can. Tottenham and especially Arsenal have been doing it for a while and it has not served them too badly!

I'll have a pee. Dont think he would have quite pulled it off on screen!

Always remember one reviewer bigging up Daniel Craigs bond stating words similar to .......'He is the 1st Bond since Connery that looks if he could do you some real damage' (A good description of Ian Flemmings intended Bond) The only two real candidates and since the former cannot be truely judged/compared on a single performance there is only 1 winner!

You pretty much summed up my stand!

Doesn't make a difference if Everton haven't the money to sign him....and that is if they are interested!

Have to agree with you here mate, and he seems to be enjoying it in our fair country judging at the way he celebrated with the fans after his goal at the weekend, but i fear he will be off to one of the 'big' teams in Europe!

What about Djemba Djemba :winkold:

You dont rate much of the present team do you!

It says you have to have 8 players in 'the squad' this is open to all kinds abuse! What are the odds on the current offending teams simply filling a few places in their squads with token nationals and playing the same foreigner leaden 1st teams! In my eyes if they are to implement a law like this the rule should correspond to the 1st 11!

That is just lazy journalism at its best!!!

I really hope you are right Stewie....i love deadline day deals, especially involving villa and 8 figure sums!

We could grab him then in the summer. The 10 million bid is probably either late news or simply made up. Whats interesting is the quote saying he was interested in both together!

That was supposed to be Petrov! It will be, believe! Petrov, a physical dynamo who wins headers and runs from box to box? I think not! Agreed Wurzel, Petrov was bought in to add a bit of guile!

Someone spotting him at the ground today. Thanks BOF! I suppose there is no evidence ie a photo ....or hotel bill (sorry!)

Have i missed something where has this Taylor rumour come from?

....and only 5.5 million, why not!

I think O'Connor hasn't been in the Scotland squad because Smith wouldn't pick players who played outside the British Isles, which basically is just him. Is he good though?

On the Carew thread there is talk of Garry O Connor coming in! Is it only me or is the thought of having a Scottish forward who cant get near the international team a tad bit of a come down!!

? Seconded.....'?' Thirded. Fourthed !! whats going on? I think Lukeavfc has some explaining to do! yeah, have we really signed him? are we even linked with him lately? don'y get me all excited like that if its only a joke! I think its bullshit as its reported nowhere else! ....but id still like to hear what his source was!

I was thinking more for the future!

? Seconded.....'?' Thirded. Fourthed !! whats going on? I think Lukeavfc has some explaining to do!

Agreed.....or maybe Jimmy Bullard (Although this may be a tad difficult since they have just bought him!)

? Seconded.....'?'

Who said this on talksport?
