25mil + Ireland would be a good deal IF we are going to sell to Citeh. Maybe 24mil +Ireland+Richards.

I thought it was a good performance. Carew always looked dangerous in the first half. Agbonlahor was poor though, I would like to see Carew and Delfouneso start against Blackburn. Cuellar was excellent and actually defended like a right back should.

I wasn't really impressed with Carew tonight. He lost possession too easy and looked slow. I would like to see how Heskey would go given a decent run. Neither he nor Gabby were playing well in the second half of last season and with Gabby's current form I think Heskey may be a better partner than Carew. That being said we are lacking another quality striker.

The team as whole did play quite well tonight.

Well turns out sidders is injured.

It's hard to guess what MON will do now, he says we need to be defensive so I think a 4-5-1 is likely. Petrov-NRC-Delph? has this combination ever played together?

Agree that NRC-Petrov-Delph will be most likely starting combination. Blackburn's CMs will be a little sore after the game I would suspect. I certainly wouldn't want to be chased around by a fired up NRC or a young, quick and aggressive Delph.

What odds on MON subbing NRC if we need to bring on Carew?
