The Kraken

Its an either or for me. They're not good enough as a combo; perhaps one of them alongside someone stronger. Decent enough for backup but not first choice. My point was, we've only played 2 games but had a major error from each one in each game. Fonte also had his error against Ajax, its unfortunately systematic of his play, he got away with it slightly in the Championship but won't in the PL.

They've each made a significant basic errors, Hooiveld in the City game which gave away the penalty, Fonte in the Wigan game which gave away the second goal. We can't afford to make as many mistakes as that in this league, and the two of them (Fonte in particular) are far too prone to those types of mistakes.

Disappointing in that Alpine promised he'd stop posting if we signed a winger, 2 centre backs and a left back.

That explains it. IP ban since then so couldn't see it. I retract.

I'm just catching up with this bit of the thread, but this is truly hilarious. Jimmy D is such a terrible little gimp.

So this is the excellent £6M bid Nicko was on about?

What's his dog's name?

Interesting. I'd have guessed at slightly more than that, around £30K pw.

Interesting. But that's just for Lee, is there a link to show Rodriguez is on a similar amount?

A likely tale. How did you know it was me? They didn't. My usernames were completely different. There was no connection from that login to mine here.

How much is that (aside from being nowhere close to £40K)? I'm genuinely intrigued.

I may be mistaken, but I think he read a PM I sent you about POL a little while ago. He somehow knew my login, which I hadn't disclosed to anyone else.

So how much does Jay Rodriguez earn??

F*cking hell. Chalet is having a mare lately.

Indeed. I'm intrigued to know what Jay Rodriguez's wages are.

How's your holiday going, Dune?

Have another go; at least that way we can get your three sh* posts for 24 hours out of the way.

The King of sh*t threads with yet another classic.

Shouldn't have thought so, no. What a wonderful thread.

Davis and Cork when he returns, for me. I don't rate Morgan anywhere near as much as many on here, I think he's too casual and gives the ball away far too much for a player in his position. Cork is a better all round player IMO. JWP, I hope he gets nurtured rathered than thrown into the deep end of a starting role every week in what's likely to be a low ranked Premier league team getting beaten more often than winning.

Membership sorted then Syd

The Echo are reporting that Yoshida will sign within the next 24 hours; £2M fee. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/9899490.Defender_on_brink_of_joining_Saints/

Just 2 or 3 days ago we were linked with Ajax left back, Boilesen, which would mean we're likely still making enquiries for a left back. Reports from last night's match at Stevenage suggest Shaw isn't ready for first team football yet, which to be fair it would be a massive risk to rely on a recently turned 17 year old to step into the Premier League right now.

He was mentioned a little while ago. Won player of the year for them last season, but seems to be behind Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka in the pecking order. Rumour was that Fenerbace were in for him.
