AndyClarke Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 John Carew wins that one for me, certainly in terms of pure strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 No for Carrick for me as well. Makes Petrov look like Usain Bolt and doesnt offer anything for his team. If we are getting a right back I would like us to sign Fucile. No nonsense and everytime i see him play he impresses me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Just from the World Cup which I'm not exactly a fan of (as in just picking players based on WC)....Isla impressed me a lot as mentioned before on this thread (Chile RB)..that said, don't know what he's like a consistant season to season basis.

L6HolteEnder Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Another Spurs midfielder on O’Neill’s radar is Jamie O’Hara, 23, who had a superb season on loan at Portsmouth last term. O’Hara, voted Pompey Player of the Year, was one of the few successes in a dismal campaign on the south coast. But he fears his chances will be few and far between at Spurs next term and is desperate to move on. Villa appeals but they face strong competition from new West Ham boss Avram Grant. The ex-Pompey coach was pivotal in O’Hara’s time at Fratton Park and is ready to make a £6m bid for the former England Under-21 star.

villa4europe Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Agree better than sidwell but its effectively buying a sub, which imo is pointless for us now, that was what MON was doing 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 If O'Hara isn't good enough to be even wanted at Tottingham, why the hell would we want him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 better than Sidwell but if he was a replacement for Milner I would be very worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlastonSpur Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 If O'Hara isn't good enough to be even wanted at Tottingham, why the hell would we want him? You might say that regarding any number of players at many clubs - it's not a sound basis for choosing which players to bid for. For example, Richards may well not be wanted at City, but I'd take him at Spurs because the potential is there. O'Hara is young, improved considerably last season on loan at Pompey and may well have the potential to develop further given a fresh start at a new club.

O'Hara is young, improved considerably last season on loan at Pompey and may well have the potential to develop further given a fresh start at a new club. Richards finds himself surplus to requirements because of City's superior buying power, not because he isn't good enough. If City had no money, Richards would be staying put. They've moved on to bigger and better things. O'Hara is not good enough to even gain a place in the Tottenham squad, so he gets palmed off to the worst club in the country. He's not good enough. Amazing how people twist the argument when their club is being attacked. O'Hara is good enough for, say, Fulham, Aston Villa? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have potential but I wouldn't want him in our first team for a couple of years while he develops. We need player with ability not potential, we've plenty of young players with potential. O'Hara needs to be at a lower level club playing week in week out and he might, might prove to be good enough but he isn't good enough at the moment for where we are or where we are supposed to be trying to get to.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Good replacement for Sidwell, but he looks a player that would prefer to play every week than sit on our bench. Kevin-Prince is the player I want from the Portsmouth midfield last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 11, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2010 He wouldn't want to swap the Spurs bench for ours, I don't believe he is good enough yet to warrant a starting place at a club of the stature of us or Spurs. KPB is the only player from Pompey's team last year that I would like aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
