You've made over a thousand posts already  .

I blame the mods.

ps thought your assertion that Martin Jol should be our next manager was a belter.

It took me 4 years to get to 1500 ! I should post more cack...like this one for instance...

Just joking GBJH...or am I ??



Or am I ??

So in some ways his crosses can look bad not because of him, but because of his teamates. On the other hand every time i have watched him live he has been a lazy bast@rd, he rarely moves that 2-3 yds to make himself available and make an angle for a pass, thereby increasing pressure on his teamate, usually the fullback. On the ball he does a bit, off it he does not, and as part of the forward line his goalscoring is abysmal, a decent winger who plays 30 games a season should weigh in with 6+ goals.

Having also seen the idiot in a bar, and the way he acted, with a load of hangers on, i come to the conclusion he is just plain thick. Lack of money and Kewells body being made from balsa wood may mean that the logical conclusion being a left winger will be bought before a right winger, unless ofcourse the replacement can be bought at a price similar to what we could get for Pennant.

Even the sales of Riise, Voronin, Kuyt, Carson will raise maybe £15m, we'd have to get to the CL final and sell a high value player where we have a replacement EG. Alonso, now we have Lucas, and then we might just be able to fund a striker and winger.

BTW Arbeloa has been pretty good IMO, especially considering he has played all along the back four.

I would sell:-
Carson - £6M
Pennant or Benayoun - £5M
Hyypia - £1M
Kuyt or Crouch £5-10M
Itandje -£1m

I would like to sell a lot more but we need to keep some experienced players. We would get nothing for Kewell so may as well keep him. Alonso I would only sell if we really need the money and it meant we could bring in a top class player to strengthen elsewhere. Finnan hopefully hasn't had his day just yet.

Arbeloa really impressed me last season, I don't think he has managed to maintain that form this season. A good utility player and backup but not really a first team player for me at the moment.

With the usual £25million or so from whoever owns us, we should have around £40million, which in turn should get us 2 top players and maybe one with potential. Maybe a swop deal of Alonso for Eto'o may come up again

What do you think of Benzema ? Looked pretty good against manure and is keeping fred out of the lyon team.

My take, we should snap him before the other big clubs do... he is the perfect foil for torres...

s@int wrote:Just had a quick read up on him, says he can play striker or either wing, and he's only 20. Might be worth a look, how much do you think he would cost?

Typical rafa player would you say ..... 

We should sign him up at all cost.... he would deffo do a better job on the wings compared to kuyt....voronin....and er....crouch....

Even though he's on a reported £60 grand a week  .

Not sure how long he's got left on his contract (anybody know ?) but bet my bottom dollar he'll wind it down and f'uck off on a free, picking up a fat signing on fee in the process.

Not silly enough, saw a report that Man U are interested but have been told the price is ..........................



£45 million

Thats either stark staring bonkers, or a typing error.
