  1. Hmmm - a 25 year old from Spurs who never really played for them, attacking midfielder / striker.

    Useful perhaps. Hope he does well, as with all signings ever.

     

    But.....hardly what was required.

    He is probably cheap, and that great source of facts wiki says he is out of contract in June (so a free transfer if he does OK?), and in addition to a CB, fine. But not instead.

  2. I'm 6 foot 1 and on my way to Bodymoor Heath thats what

     

    I doubt we're getting anybody else

     

    Get in line.

    I'm 6 foot 4. And 16 stone. Which makes me 1 inch taller and 5 stone lighter than Dunne.

    And I'll work for £10 grand a week. -ish

  3. So you all thinks its acceptable then well done good for you it aint acceptable for me and majority of the rest. Top flight was with reference to premiership.

     

    Baker

    Vlaar

    Lichaj

    Bennett

    Lowton

    clark

    herd

     

    Great defenders the above aint they check mate relegation here we come and as for being a nob I travel from Essex every home game so you can see why this does my nut in

     

    Kinda somewhere between Yoda and the Comma-less kid ;)

    Simples

  4. I thought a fair few people on here thought we should go and get Liam Trotter as a DCM from Milwall - an average Championship side (let's be honest, they could only beat us with a last minute goal at home!)

    We sign a player from overseas of a similar age, from a similar club in a similar(ish) position, to play in the same position, and who has actually received some international recognition (for a country with decent players, unlike over-hyped English talent), and people moan. Wow.

  5. Division 2 and only one under 21 cap, also he's 22 years old. I'm not sure how he's the next big thing, so I do have my reservations.

     

    However on the flip side, a few 'big' clubs and been looking at him and he's coming here on the cheap.

     

    Not at all the sort of signing to save our season (or at least it appears) but could well be a good player. I don't really know what to make of it, happy we're signing someone but we need more than this if we want to stay up.

     

    Don't know what to make of it?

    He isn't Bannan. Or Ireland. Or Delph (who has improved a bit of late). Or Holman. Or KEA. 

    That is a perfect start.

  6. 4.

    Point v's WHam, and a win out of the blue, because we can do stuff like that. The only problem is that we will, say, beat ManC but have gifted 3 points to relegation rivals.

    But I might be drunk :cheers:

  7. Good luck to him - it ain't his fault he's shit. Hopefully he does a good job a few months, and they take him on.

    IMO he isn't good enough. He is a walking card, and should have been sent off at least twice last season. Lowton will make mistakes too, but should learn and become a better player over the next 12 months. Plus he's a lot cheaper, which is the club we are now.

  8. Shit - €10m for him. 3 or 4 years ago we'd have been able to afford that. Except MON would have preferred someone who was 28 and already played in the Premier League!

     

    About what we agreed for Ireland isn't it. On he will probably be on less wages too.

  9. Intersting stuff, and I love the stats. What they don't show is the why? Why do our defenders not pass to the midfield, for example. I also think that many people blame the midfield for the pressure we always have on us. Yeah, Bannan and Delph may complete passes, but if they are hospital balls which the defenders lose, whose fault is that really? I suspect the stats will show the midfielder completed the pass and the defender lost it, or hoffed it long and out of trouble.

  10. I think I'd be tempted too. They're not the best options, but I'm just sick of seeing Barry Bannan in our side.

    I'd go for something like this

    - - - - - - - - - - - - Benteke - - - - - - - - - - -

    Gabby - - - - - - - N'Zogbia - - - - Wiemann

    - - - - Warnock/Clark - - Westwood - - - - -

    Bennett - Dunne/Baker - Vlaar - - Lowton

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - Guzan - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Warnock used to play in CM for Blackburn occasionally, and he did have a few decent games there for us last season when Petrov was absent (I'm sure he scored a half decent goal aswell).

    I actually think Lowton and Bennett will both look much better when played in a back 4. Especially Bennett, who could do with not having to shoulder a wingback role where he has to think about attacking and defending.

     

    I can't understand why people put Weimann out wide. He is a finsher; he can't cross or pass very well (although by the standard of recently, he is as good as anyone else) and his decision making is quite poor. However, his finishing is outstanding. Play him alongside Benteke and he will score goals. His workrate upfront is a bonus, not a reason to play him out of position.

  11. This thread is hilarious, moaning about flags that were free, if you felt that strongly about it why did you wave them? You obviously did because the entire place was awash with flags being waved and it looked brilliant and it added to what was an unusually good atmosphere. But I guess its something to moan about and act cool "I snapped mine in half" ha ha ha me caveman me strong.

     

    Grumpy! If nothing else, the picture on page 2 is worth the thread alone.

    Mine went hom for my 4 year old daughter. She loves stuff like that. She didn't want it!
