Re: Danny Williams Out?

Would he accept a contract on reduced terms though? I can't see it. He's arguably good enough for the prem where they could easily match or beat his current contract, he's in his prime and this would likely be his last "big" contract as 3-4 years would take him into his 30's. I think our o...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Aston Villa (h) sponsored by a Terry Bell own goal

That was one of the most inept managerial displays I have ever seen in my life. As I said on twitter last night, the only thing Stam could have done to help Villa win that game more was to take off Al Habsi and put Samuel in goal - to be honest there must be more chance of him getting a run out ther...

Re: BFTG - 'uddersfield

Joey's passing in the first half - :shock: Was not expecting 60 yard crossfield inch perfect passes from him at all. He has quickly become the heart of the team for me, it was no surprise we fell apart after he went off. Also surprised how many are praising Kermorgant. He's a striker. He's never in ...

Re: SERIOUSLY STOP BOOING

If they are good passers of the ball, why do they constantly pass the ball behind the person they are aiming for, even when there is acres of space and they are running into it? This is a constant bugbear of mine and has been for many many seasons. The movement from most players is poor, I've alread...

Re: SERIOUSLY STOP BOOING

It's the style of a lot of Dutch teams, originating at Ajax, that he's trying to emulate, not Barcelona. Barcelona are a copy of this, brought in through their entire set up when Johan Cruyff, formerly of Ajax, was in charge. At the moment there are two problems as far as I can see of bringing this ...

Re: EP Spaculation - out of contract strikers

Cant see these happening, Stam's said anyone coming in won't be to replace what we've got, and the only ones there I'd want are far too good to be bench warmers compared to Kermy and Mendes.

Re: CONFIMRED - Norwood to Brighton

Probably something similar to what Derby fans were saying when they signed Blackman and look how that's turned out. A big fat meh from me.

Re: Adam Reach

Obita further forward? Considering his attacking form the last few season (don't think I've seen him take on an opponent and cross from the by line for at least 2 years), that's the last thing I would do.

Re: Rumour - Rafael van der Vaart

Just seen the reports that he called Stam asking to join, seems a complete no brainer to me, I'm amazed they haven't got him in already.

Is that Sylvie Meis? They split up years ago, he was cheating on her with Boularhouz's wife and a KLM pilot or something.

Re: Rumour - Rafael van der Vaart

He doesn't need to move. Comparing him to Pog is a bit of joke too. This is a player that has played at the very very top of the game, has a 1 in four goal record with the Dutch national side with over 100 caps, played in a world cup final, has played in England and has a very good scoring record he...

Re: Rumour - Rafael van der Vaart

I can kinda understand it. A couple of bad seasons, wants to be playing football, has come out recently saying how much he misses Spurs and England, played alongside Stam and we have been desperate for some creativity for years now. I can't see him being any more expensive than Vydra was and you'd h...

We are relying on young players, just not to build a team around. Quite clearly relying on them to balance the books.

Re: Tshibola to leave?

If he wants to go as suggested by Get Reading, there isn't really much we can do. Why he'd want to work with Steve Clarke again though is mindboggling.

Maybe he's coming out of retirement, he's still far better than any of our defenders from seeing him play in that charity match recently.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Middlesbrough (a) sponsored by a Paul Holsgrove winner

They described it as similar to the Lee Bowyer/Kieran Dyer incident, which if true is not good at all. Does make the Swansea rumours back in January a bit more understandable, maybe McD wanted Williams gone then.
