Greenridge

It was deemed his fee was not relevant by the forum massive when he was struggling. So, for the sake of consistency, it would be wrong to suddenly start using it as a reference now he has found his feet. He's doing well now. A proper pain in the arse for defenders. If he can do it week in week out even better.

He hardly played for us, he's hardly played for them. Your point being?

You mean if we'd picked up a few points in the 10 or so winless run? Top 5 I guess.

Is Pelle still carrying an injury?

Didn't Paul Rideout get a pair in his debut at The Dell after arriving from Bari? I was at the game but only a nipper so could have it completely wrong.

Why would that annoy anyone?

Not sure he's ever given anyone, anywhere, a challenging question.

Wasn't it reported that he was a disruptive influence in the changing room and / or had fallen out with someone? Newcastle will be his 5th club at 23 years old so maybe there is something in that.

He was so unfit when he came to us it was ridiculous. Don't know if he just didn't bother with a pre-season as he knew he'd be moving or what but unprofessional whatever the reason. He really can't be as bad as he came across in his time here.

It's probably due to many of the other clubs linked to him going on record as saying they will not be signing him!

Had a quick scan and couldn't see this elsewhere so apols if already posted. SSN:

No. He was correct.

Guly made 103 appearances for SFC.

Pretty much all of the signings that we have made since RK came have been 'his' players that either he and/or Erwin knew about. I'm not even sure what Wilson and Reed do for us now. Their roles seem somewhat diluted at the least.

He wasn't worried about the impact of his comments on the youngsters. He said them publicly for his own benefit.

I agree with pretty much everything you've said there.

There wouldn't be many managers not under the microscope with our current run of form.

The apparent issue with Clasie not being able to last 90 minutes is quite strange. I'm surprised Ron has never explained why. He's 24 so physically mature, he's played 35+ games a season for several years and had a solid pre-season it would seem and had 5 months of adapting to Premier league pace and physicalities. He's obviously had some niggles whilst here's been here but you would think he should be there by now.

It can only be concluded then that we are the unluckiest team in world football.

I was assuming you were making all your observations from being at the game.

Forgive me for swearing on a public forum but it has a hint of Redknappism about it. Whilst what he say's seems to be quite valid he's using it publicly to push the Board to open the purse strings. Maybe.

other than Osvaldo and Gaston I'm trying to think of the 'many' others?

Thanks for the breaking 'news'. Not as good as the Winston Bogarde story though....but close.

According to wiki he's made 92 appearances for us so he is most definitely getting 'match opportunities'. The question is whether or not he's shown / showing progression?

Isn't Big Sam after Caulker? Hopefully.
