CI Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Haven't spurs quoted £10m for Defoe I think we can rule him out on numerous fronts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaninoz Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think all of the young ones deserve a new start and a chance to have a go under the new manager. Too many people only remember last season and how poor players like Bannan, Albrighton and even Delph looked, but did anyone look any good under McLeish? Gabby started the season on fire, but soon lost all confidence under the ginger one, as did everyone else. I think it's time to give them all a new start under a manager that will give them confidence and then see who will and won't make it. I would keep all the young guns and get rid of the old shite like Collins, Warnock and Hutton that we know will be just as brutal whoever the manager is!

CI Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think he's giving everyone a chance pre-season He's taking a look at them all, with the possible exception of Hutton who appears to be a gonna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I really wouldn't want us to sign anyone over 28 to be honest. We need a more youthful attacking side that would not cripple our wage bill again. No point clearing it down only to lump shit loads back on again with players looking for one last paycheck. I would like to see... OUT Collins Warnock Hutton Makoun Delfouneso IN J. Bennett Williams Mulumbu M. Phillips Carroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 All the young uns deserve a chance. Delfouneso's goals to games ratio is actually pretty decent. And the likes of Bannan, Herd and Delph have all shown more glimpses of their talent at prem level than Gardner has thus far Yet he's held up as some sort of poster boy when in fact his premier showings so far have all been very average/poor People need time, and the right system to suit their talents. ALL should be stuck with IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 RE - Defoe, I'd rather have him than Carroll if the price wasn't too bad. He's probably got 2/3 good years left in him and he'd be our most lethal finisher What more lethal than Bent? Doubt that. Most lethal finisher PMSL Definitely got a better shot, better from outside the box and probably about the same at one on ones. Bent has the edge at headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Don't understand the clamour to get rid of some of the younger unproven players. Bannan, Delphounso, Delph, Albrighton etc aren't on big contracts and we wouldn't get very much money for them. It's not as though we have a squad of Man City proportions so they're not really taking up squad spaces. I'm sure if we sold Albrighton it would come back to haunt us.

sharkyvilla Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think if we signed Defoe we'd get the same instant reaction as we did with Keane where you think 'why the hell didn't we sign him 5 years ago?'. He'd bang them in wherever he went, and is one of those players who seem to get knocked for what they can't do rather than looking at what they can do.
