Diame, good player, will only get better, big lad , over 6 foot. Still young. Free transfer. Probably get around £18-22k. It's not really that big a risk. Would work well in a DM partnership with Herd/ Makoun. Makoun with his passing range I see as one of our starting midfielders next season.

Ideally Roberto Di Matteo would be my man - anybody who can beat Barca over 2 legs is good enough for me. He should be available in a weeks time. Assistant manager of Butch Wilkins - who has experience and contacts galore

Lambert's knowledge of European players is probably a lot better than ours. He did win the Champions League under Hitzfeld for Dortmund. I reckon he keeps a keen eye still on the bundaslige (sp.) still. Certainly a talented league at the moment. A bit of German talent wouldn't hurt at the mo.

Is Makoun good enough to be a premiership holding midfield player? Most teams, us included are employing a 4-2-3-1 formation. With 2 holding players and 3 attacking midfielders who support a lone striker. Assuming, may be a long shot, that our 2 holding is Herd+1. Is Makoun this player. is Herd our Tiote. Or do we need to buy better. Is Makoun our Cabaye. The man can pass!.

Love Lambert.... Rodgers and Di Matteo. Any one of them I will cream.......imagine playing football.........imagine being competitive....... fat chance .... Steveih fat **** Bruce prob.

It has to be McLeish. Most underwhelming day of my life. Oh and Emile and De.La Cruz. And Pires

This kid has to start for me. I get excited when he gets on the ball. I haven't felt like that since Ashley Young four years ago. He does the simple passes well, always finds space for himself. And on the rare occasion that our forward line/winger moves or makes a run, this boy can pick them out. He has to replace Heskey. Then AMC and Collins can no longer rely on hoof ball.

Delph's shocking first touch and his tendancy to dive into every tackle has very little to do with Alex McLeish and where he plays the man

Not great yesterday. Would rather give Chris Herd a run, the boy can leap like a salmon. Don't think we've scored to many from corners or free kicks lately

this also, when's jenas back?

On da ees man.

Went for Given. First name on the team sheet. Good at barking at defences. Apart from Bent, the only player who will definately start.

Also welcome Charlie.

Yep this is me Two or three more required Very happy with the two signings we have made, but I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't get a few more in. Not so much 'a few more in' for me. I think the 'right' type of player is more what we need, to bring the quality out of a lot of those we already have who seem to need a boot up the proverbial. I think N'Zogbia and a.n.other will be a step in the right direction. This^ Anybody we bring in must be a starter. We have enough potential in our first team squad We have to buy players that are going to oust the Collins' Warnocks' and Albrightons who possibly feel they are easily first choice for their positions. Enrique and Barton from barcodes for a start. Sturridge on season loan, and perhaps a wee surprise from abroad would be nice.

rubbish, he would vastly improve our weak cm area Sir Gary i must admit i agree with you a million percent. Quality wise he certainly would, the only "proceed with caution" sign i see is if he would rock the ship. Rock the ship, our boys can do that themselves. AML has handled plenty of hot head personalities before. Bowyer, Ferguson, assholes like that. Barton for me is a no brainer. He can pass, he can tackle, he can get in the oppositions face, he has passion for the game, he can hit a dead ball, he has a great engine and he can play darts with cigars. If we can afford him, get him

What game you watching, seemed to be pretty **** off to me especially as Petrov or Delph didn't pass to him once in 45 minutes.

Outstanding today. He could do no more This gentlemen is what a bargin looks like

Yeah get Anelka in too, that boy looked Sharp

Looked pretty good. Kudos to anyone giving Drogba a clip round the ear.

Bannan was very good when he came on. Ireland would have benefited playing with Bannan and Makoun, Heskey not bad either

Half time. Good to see Ireland frustrated. Means he has Passion. Ball gets played past him and his midfielders behind him are not applying pressure. Has had the ball passed to him maybe twice in the whole half of football.

His then girlfriend, now wife (i think) had a miscarriage. Lost their child and Ireland left international duty. Not wanting to tell the world of his drastic loss, and because he was still young and nieve(sp.) He concocted a story about grannies dying. Quite sad.

Whelan is nothing but a gob shite. He is trying to save face as usual. Trying to imply that I tried to keep Zog. I tried to get the best price. I won't let Villa interview Martinez. Even though Villa were discrete and quiet about business I am going to turn it into a bloody circus if I can. I would be very surprised if Zog is not in the bag already. To be revealed on Tuesday with Given in our new home shirt. Trying to boost sales. I hope Parker is holding a shirt too.

No.8 or10 He plays 10 for Wigan

They may be having trouble finding his spine. Or his balls Or his right foot
