Morgan, well done

http://www.atdhe.net/19458/watch-france-u23-vs-colombia-u23 Just bookmark atdhe.net, it's not let me down since I ditched my sky sub 18 months ago.

They're perfect, I'm just about to order the away shirt to go with my home shirt. Don't think I'd ever bother to pay £40 for a shirt after finding that place.

Go with the fakes from bornpropser, they are pretty much identical, you can't really tell the difference. I've had loads from them with no problems at all.

Would love to see him sign, I think under Pardew we've played our best football in a 4-5-1, as much as I rate Connolly we just seem so much more in control when we've got five across the middle. Chucking Surman into the mix would only make things better, would be a fantastic signing as not only would he make the 4-5-1 stronger he would also offer an option on both wings and in the middle if we chose to play 4-4-2.

I am going to start this tomorrow, will be nice to see if I actually have the will power to see it through.

Both are a rip off, neither are good value.

If we lose him or Lallana I'd be gutted, they're the two who we would really struggle to replace IMO, would be great to fly up the leagues with them both.

Like I said, i'll keep my money for the aways and probably the Ted Bates game if it's a decent European side. Cheltenham and Bournemouth where quality last season, would be nice to get a couple more local League two games.

Almost hope he gets overlooked and sits on the bench. If he plays as well for France as he has for us this season then I've no doubt the scouts from biggers sides in England and France will come calling before too long.

I really couldn't give a ****. I'm sure they make enough money out of season ticket holders to lose a few quid on a meaningless friendly, keeping the core fanbase happy which should be their number one priority. Only you could defend paying 12/15 quid for a friendly btw, so very boring.

James Beattie would be a fantastic signing. Can't see it happening though ;(

Not a chance I'll pay 12/15 quid for a friendly against Reading, what a joke. I don't mind paying a tenner when we go to places like Eastleigh, Totton and Salisbury because you know they really need the money and the money from that game will make a difference. When you're spending £400 odd quid on a season ticket, friendlies should be thrown in free. I think I will just stick to all the away friendlies this pre season.

It's a strange one IMO but it could just be that James wants to move somewhere he will be a starter and after a chat with Pardew he knows he can't get that here.

I'm starting to get like this after missing Morgans goal in our 5-1 win at Rovers.

Wasn't Puncheon signed for less than 500k? He's a cut above Antonio and Waigo.

Someone like Lloyd James or Simon Gillett would be perfect for the role.

I think so to, the links to Stock and Danns both point to it as well, an attacking midfielder to play alongside Schneiderlin at home and alongside Schneiderlin and Hammond in a 4-5-1 away. Hammond, Schneiderlin, Wotton, Puncheon and a new attacking midfielder would give us plenty of midfield options.

Because Schneiderlin and Hammond play so deep, we could do with a genuine attacking midfielder IMO. Great video, loved seeing some of those goals again especially the goals against Bristol Rovers, I had forgotten how good Antonio was that game.

You could say that about a lot of players IMO, I'm not really botherd just think it's a decision that could come round to haunt us, if we are going to compete in two or three competitions next season then we will need a utility player like James and there aren't many of them around.

Anything interesting?

Woah, don't diss Sundays again or i'll make you watch the cricket on your own.

It's fairly obvious why people want James and Thomas around, they're both important squad players. No one's suggesting they should be starting every week just that they can be usefull off the bench.

A real show of intent realeasing so many players at once, especially considering the right backs all being moved on. I think releasing Lloyd James will come back to haunt us, he's a very sound footballer just needs a bit of experience, will shine for a mid table side in our league IMO.

One Vision.
