Kean is probably the most 'out of his depth' manager in the Premiership since Wigley.

This is something I dread about the Prem, if and when we get there of course. I rarely watch MoTD these days, but on the odd occasion it seems many teams have sprinkling of "here for a season" often imported mercenaries who p!ss off for another payday on an annual basis.

So what is he suggesting for us this time ?

Did very well on loan at Cheltenham. I'm not sure we could sign him now, but if Brum don't go up and they are struggling for cash then a summer bid should be made.

I remember a comment from Billy Connolly, that the only people you can safely tell sories about are white heterosexual males. Sad reflection but it seems to be true.

That was an analogy that crossed my mind when I first heard this "top at Christmas" being trotted out.

I'm not sure we can risk his "attitude" unsettling "the bus". But if there are no takers, we are stuck with him. So, if he works at it to regain NA's approval then he will be available for selection; if not, then bugger off and train on his own or with Forecast in the corner.

I wonder if Mike Tindall was ever involved with them in a dwarf tossing competition perhaps

or Rochdale on loan.

Am looking at a number of sites for this. There seem to be a few available so wondered if anyone on here done this, and any recommendations of which site to go for ? Thanks.

Had he played for Saints it would have been seriously outstanding.

Thanks for that, given me renewed hope ! Bit in bold is however critical in my view if we are to regain momentum as we seem to be 'running on empty' recently.

Ditto.

If we are looking to give Reading a pay day then I'd be interested in taking their young England GK, McCartney off their hands, even if its in the summer.

As good as Bridge and Davies have been in the past, or are now, neither would offer particular leadership qualities and certainly not in the same category as Alan Ball did during our promotion season.

How do you get access to that site ? Cost ? I remember at one stage last season it had a few gypo caravans parked on it, and after the game there were a few kids whizzing around on quad bikes.

Rodriguez is an U21 international, Rhodes only 21 and scoring freely for two seasons. Can't see how that would be "underwhelming", and if it is then wonder who you might seriously expect or hope for.

My concern is that if the FA , or the moron Pearce, are seeking squad members they will already have the England Euro 2012 team out of reach as they will be tired after all the in-fighting and humiliation of an early return from Euros. The Jocks, and other 'home' nations will declare it a 'no go' leaving a bit of scratching around to do. So, looking for players, it will be easier to call up from the likes of Saints than others as they will not wish to upset the mancs,l/pool,Arse, etc by calling their precious players. Rickie Lambert aged 30,embodies the "true olympic spirit" etc to fill one place.

I'd like a GK who we feel confident in playing when required, not one that is comfortable on the bench. I accept - re the LB comparison - that all players go through a lean spell or have a crap day, lets be honest Lambert was a shadow of himself early last season, but the difference is that he, and to a lesser extent Fox, have built up enough "credits" if you like with sound displays, to earn a bit of a reprieve (short term).After KD, simply can't say the same re the other GK's we have on our books. As for finding another keeper, I'd be amazed if that is not high on NA's list of priorities (hence the Dutch rumour).

Really ? Certainly looked like we needed one against Blackpool last week.
