How have you lot got hold of Alex McLeish's scouting list? :)

 

I recently overhead him talking in Tesco......

 

 

Was he wearing a suit?

 

 

Indeed he was. 

 

 

Just wanted to make sure he wasn't working there, I heard they had a managers vacancy available.

And Jesus lined up His 4 defenders in the box, for a corner was to be taken. And Jesus said unto His 4 defenders "one of you will betray me". The 4 defenders did protest, for they loved Him. But Jesus

Did a little experiment with the Dortmund squad that won at home against Real Madrid 4-1. Due to the links between Lambert and that club, our similiar style of play to theirs, how popular they are at

James McCarthy whats the chances of us getting him

No chance . He's valued at £10m . Lambert doesn't do expensive. He's a true Scot.

Well hes the right age and has a grest attitude so ticks the boxes. I think we would pay 10-12 if the right player was available. Would have to ne special though which i think McCarthy is.

He was deep in conversation with another suited guy. Mentioned something about Bent signing for Liverpool.....

Its an interesting point whether Lambert will come further up the leagues to find talent. Less of a gamble but will have to pay a premium.

Well if hes following Dortmunds philosophy he will. They signed 1 or 2 at around that price. As i say if the special player is available i believe he will. Age/attitude then price

I'm 99% sure he will have it in his head that if he can find players like Westwood in League Two, that it would be ridiculous to sign McCarthy for £10m from the prem (Relegated but obvs a prem player) .

Can't see what all the hype is about either, could probably get a player that is just as good if not better from the continent if we were to spend £10m or even less on one man.

Twitter bollocks has us linked with a loan move for brazil u19 striker Lucas piazon with a view to a permanent deal. Not seen too much of him tbh.

Don't really know why I'm still looking to twitter, or even why I'm posting it on here lol.

Would be an interesting one... he's certainly talented... cost Chelsea a lot of money without even playing a game for Sao Paulo (7m I believe)

If we're going to get Petrov luring some of his fellow countrymen to play for us then I hope he starts talking to Georgi Milanov too!

McCarthy would walk into our team. He's just a better Ashley Westwood imo.

 

Completely different players. He's not really similar to any of our current players. Maybe Delph if I had to pick one.
