He looks Premiership class to me! Quick, strong, crisp passer, bags of energy and has a trick. He would be superb alongside Sammy if we can snare him before someone bigger comes in. If we do get this guy he'd fit into out style perfectly-and add another dimension the way he gets up and down the...

We need to remember that we only got Wisey 'cos he'd been sat on the bench all season at a struggling Southampton side in our division. I'll never forget watching him warming up as we hammered them (4-1?) and thinking how the mighty had fallen. I'm sure part of his stunning form for us was him...

O'Halloran did well in L1 & L2 on loan a few years back. Along with being one of Villa reserves 2nd-place sides best players. The Villa fans who watch the reerves on their forums all said he was awesome going forwards but dodgy defensively, and many were sad to see him go. I saw the odd bit...

Yep, one that suddenly makes signing for Celtic the most attractive offer of all! That should get him a bigger shop window, a taste of European football, more money, huge crowds, and probably cement his place in the Irish team. He can always move to a Prem team in a year or 2 if he does well for...

I think Roberts signed a new deal? Cox has broken into the WBA first team of late and looks to be in Hodgsons plans. Hines or Phillips would be great but are most likely in their clubs plans post-relegation. Although Brum fans on 606 last night (radio) said he's finished.

OK so why not post a link to the source? To me it just looked like plucking things out of the ether.

He's shortsighted? Mmm, not ideal for a 'keeper...can't we get him some contact lenses or something?

Maybe he is, but a little more than one line is needed or it just winds people (like me) up. It sounds like reading out bits from The Sunday Mirror gossip page.

In the game you are talking about we could have subbed any of the back 4 at h/t, as Coleman said in his post-match, they were all apalling. Hussey was the youngest and hence easiest to blame. I didn't say he's the best player at the club, and I also hate this "big 3" stuff-Aron wouldn't make our...

Come on people, it's yet another "first post, no evidence, one line" job! We're entering Wumville, and that is a bad place. It's like me going on a Villa forum and saying "Young to Spurs, done deal, trust me" or a Leicester one and stating "Inside source, The Yak will return to Everton in the...

Y'see, I see going in hard and getting tight to his man as being major strengths of his. The winger rarely gets space, they often try to move down the other flank instead as a result, he intercepts the ball regularly, moves are stopped before they start, players tend to not run at him as often...

Oh I'm sure none of us would ever want to imply that Our Glorious Saviours SISU are capable of lying. That would be so out of character with, oh I dunno, everything they ever say!!! I admire the general positivity, but just be ready for a frustrating and fretful summer unless we get new owners...

I think Wood is a top bloke and he works hard, but is no way near as good as McPake. He seems to cause goals against us pretty regularly, too, and has shocking distribution and awareness. Which game was it where the injured guy dribbled (limped) to the byline to set up a goal seeing as Wood...

One of Thorns' greatest signings. Has been superb since the Burnley game. Great crosses for goals against Preston, Watford and best of all Reading-almost impossible to defend against that kind of quality ball coming in. We should get him on corners ASAP. Did anyone see what Wimbledon did in...

One of the most improved players under Thorn, and that's 'cos he needed a manager who believes in him and gives him confidence. You can tell that when you hear him interviewed. He bad touches tend to be in the first five minutes (nerves, ie youth?) and are increasingly rare-usually no more than...

Did you see Stewart Lee's comedy vehicle on BBC2 on Wednesday? He did a great anti-Paddy McGuiness "joke". He did an even better Moyles one in the last series. As a side-note, this thread really does reveal the damage done to our culture by reality TV. My contributions: Peter Reid (not just...

I think Gray has actually scored 11 goals for them this season, mostly in the run-in. He pretty much kept them up single-handed! Davis is unlucky, scored a few good goals recently. Thornton is lucky-he was their best player earlier on this season, then blatantly couldn't be bothered to try for a...

Bit harsh, he's done enough this season to deserve at least a 12 month contract.

Plus Lamberts formation is EXACTLY the same as ours. They work very hard as a team to earn the right to dominate with their attacking, passing football. Back on topic-I'm amazed we're even thinking about this. "If we're near the bottom at Christmas, he'll have to go..." Crikey, too soon! If...

Yes, that's exactly what I think. I was chatting to my mate about it as we left the Reading and Scunthorpe games. If we'd had that little bit more movement, flair and creativity that he'd have provided, yes, it would have made a huge difference, in our opinions. I do think he suits that...
