Don't you know you've got to rush aroud like a blue-assed fly, give the ball away rather than pass it backwards or sideways and shout a lot to be a good footballer.

As Nigel pointed out in his interview the other day a lot of these lads are now on a fair old amount of money and their ability probably doesn't match it. We're going to have to either take some massive compensation hits or have them hanging around doing fck all. Don't see most of them getting another game this season. Now if we'd drawn some minnows in the Cup it might be different.

want to think on that again then ? Bloke isn't good enough for the NPC even, that's why we didn't play him much.

One season at Everton then. Got Zidane sent off by insulting his Mum or sister or something in the WC final 2006. Which is what I was kind of trying to say, few Italians are present in UK football and a few that have been here have been resounding failures like Aquilaini. As we might need someone anyday if Fonte or Yoshida get a knock or supension there's no real time to adapt we should seriously think about paying 10 million for an Italian defender in January.

Abdennour weren't we linked with him at one time? Just re-signed until 2017 at Toulouse

Well we're not going to get any PL team's first choice keeper whilst we're in a so precarious position are we. Boruc will do for me, he's as good as we'll get this January.

Midfield is too weak, if we really want to win it's either Morgan or Cork and one other as a minimum. Think they both might play myself. Richardson will get taken apart which is evidently why Jack Cork was at RB on Tuesday. If we want to win then it's at least 9 first team regular starters in the line-up.

He doesn't need to put his hand in his pocket overmuch, they have some decent players who were badly managed. Looked OK to me against Chelsea.

of course not, it's just agent talk. These lads have a very limited period to earn their crust on actual transfers so they are unusually active in spreading rumours about their clients. As your average journalist will print anything he hears it's a win win for the agents.

Just as soon we didn't bother myself, there must be someone else available. Out of interest who was the last Italian CB to impress in the PL?

No Chamakh and Taraabt were not called up, loads of home based and French players in the Morooco squad. Probably a money thing or insurance thing.. If ever Chamakh were to find his Bordeaux form again he'd be a top man for a side that plays Route 1 or 2. A 6 month loan isn't bad for finding out.

OK you don't rate Chamakh and you hate West Ham, it's not a problem. I think he may do well for them but then I'm basing that on what he did at Bordeaux.

With Jarvis ad Vaz Te getting crosses in Chamakh may well come good. Arsenal's style of play isn't for everyone.

foxtrot oscar... think ,about it. Alpha,Bravo,Charlie etc.

maybe last season, this season probably not so much if they depended on results. Failed medicals are becoming more and more common, why on another thread I was explaining about Diamé's heart problems. Clubs must have a hard time insuring them so can't afford to pay mega bucks in transfer fees.

Chamakh is good in the air, or he used to be anyway,might suit West Ham. Arsenal play on the deck most of the time, that's why Giroud is only a sub often enough. Wenger has an obseession with French strikers though always buys up the Ligue 1 leading scorer, Gervihno,Chamakh, Giroud but to be fair with the French contract scheme the way it is and the taxes to boot the prices are reasonably low, Chamakh was on a free. French domestic football isn't of a particularly high standard nowadays simply because of outlandish taxation and the gulf between Ligue 1 and the EPL is enormous.

wobbly against Utd though, palmed the ball out at Hernandez's feet for Utds first (I think it was their first, watched far too much football lately to be sure) . Most keepers seem to be having trouble with these balls from time to time.

told you yesterday, manager's binky. Admits it himself.

Just need to get the best out of Boruc and he's as good as anyone we may get in the immediate future. Fans need to get off his back and the manager needs to lose his obsession with KD. Change the keeping coach if necessary as well. Those arm outs that he used on Tuesday are top drawer. If the rest of the side get used to them they will be invaluable. Schmeichel threw out like that, Fergie described him as the world's only play making goalie.

Doubt if any club will ever punt really big money on Diamé. IIRC he has some sort of heart problem, pity really because he's not a bad lad, played in the same tyro leagues as my son when we lived in the Parisian suburbs.

Diamé won't want to be a bench player and I don't want to see any change.

He was good against Arsenal, having a better defence nowadays probably helps not to mention a better left side outlet . Usually Cork plays right biased and Morgan left, Davis played left and Morgan right I think on Tuesday, seemed a good plan. I liked our formation on Tuesday, if it was up to me I'd stick with it, maybe even move Clyne forward a notch if I desperately wanted to re-integrate him. Then again I liked Guly's attitude and aggessivity and you can't drop punch just now.

Either of our 2 CMs can play a "Diamé role" if the manager lets them. It's the system that dictates a player's actions. We have been greatly handicapped because Morgan was very quickly on 4 cards and having seen our performance against Everton it was pretty obvious that even a 1 match suspension would be pretty bad news for us. So he had to go 8 games or so without a card whereas the average for a real CM is about 1 in 4. They all get cards, most of them have been suspended at least once, it's an occupational hazard. Cork doesn't get any cards at all, he used to though, a lot, perhaps he was playing in defence at Burnley though, I just don't remember but if you want aggressive CMs then you have to have a replacement system cos they're going to get suspended about once in every 15/18 games.

don't quite see how an extra £5 will change much.

16? she looks about 45 Why do young people suddenly look so old, I mean Shaw looks older that Cork and Lallana. also what's that white strip under her lower lip about
