    You've obviously seen a lot of him - must be some keeper, Gomes. I didn't see anyone at Euro 2008 whom I'd have preferred to AM.
  2. alexscottislegend
    Spurs won't be moving for Mac. now after they signed PSV keeper Gomes. That means Robinson can bugger off to Keegan land so he won't try for him either hopefully. So that leaves...Man City?

    Do we need a centre back though? We have Webster on the way back plus Weir has re-signed. Think we have other priorities, unless he's - oh god no - Cuellar's replacement.
  4. alexscottislegend
    Yes, light blue? I always thought our colour was Royal Blue - or is that not politically correct any more?
  5. alexscottislegend
    Calscot - think you misread people feeling 'sorry' for him; it's more that we are puzzled when a young prospect doesn't seem to be getting a chance without any obvious explanation. Hope I'm not saying the same thing about Fleck in year's time.
  6. alexscottislegend
    Second that. You've got to consider who we replace him with. Alexander is a more-tahn-capable deputy. He's not a youngster with time to improve.
  7. alexscottislegend
    Seems a reasonable explanation/opinion. We shouldn't be in a rush to push him out the door.

    The Fergie/Thomson situation is a bit like the Gerrard/Lampard thing. If we play them both, then we must accept we play with one up front in a 4-2-3-1 a la the Dutch. Fergie and Thomson are the 2 'sitters', then the 3 in midfield can be creative and wide left and right. BUT - and it's a big but - what do we do with all those strikers? The likeliest one up front is I think Velicka or,dare I say it, Miller.

    I can only remember him having a promising debut v LA Galaxy in a pre-season televised game. Can see the same thing happening to Lafferty. Can't see him being deployed at centre forward, but is he really a left winger/midfielder? Can you imagine a pairing of Miller & Laff?
  10. alexscottislegend
    Last I heard they denied making a bid?
  11. alexscottislegend
    See that Faddy has asked to leave Brum. Swap deal with Boyd? Could this solve our creative midfielder problem? I know he's a Tim but C****c don't seem to want him. Not advocating this, just flying a kite.
  12. alexscottislegend
    Great news if true. Looks like Miller and Velicka will start in a 4-4-2 but Boyd will be breathing down their necks - at least in domestic ganes.
  13. alexscottislegend
    Just making the point that what greater contribution can you make to a team than scoring goals? Not really making a valid comparison. And Boyd always has a go, he's never put off when he misses (just like Super Ally). And just like you- out of all your 17,000 posts, not all were on target, were they?

    There once was a player who played for Germany. People said he was fat, too short and had poor technical skills. But he kept scoring goals, usually in the last minute of vital international games. A journalist said to him - "You only score goals." His riposte - "NOBODY ever ONLY scores goals." His name? The legendary Gerd Muller. Remind you of anybody?

    Calscot - you may have a point about Buffel but don't forget he wasn't played because it would have triggered a release clause in his contract - I think �£400,000 to Feyenoord - and we didn't want to part with our hard-earned that easily. Nothing to do with him not wanting to fight for his place.
  16. alexscottislegend
    Just like to add my congrats to a very erudite article. Can I suggest it be archived on the main forum?
  17. alexscottislegend
    That's the only chink of light for me. With Boyd and all aour strikers, I'm unsure how Fleck could get a place, even as a sub.
  18. alexscottislegend
    Of course. It was the missing apostrophe that threw me. Cheers.
  19. alexscottislegend
    You think he'll struggle in the championship? With Steve Thompson possibly alongside him? So you think he'll be better suited to the EPL?
  20. alexscottislegend
    That's the strange part; he apparently wants to fight for his place! If he couldn't get in last season with all the injuries how will he now? And Lafferty is further competition for his place. With Buffel also seemingly turning down a move, we have at least 2 non-playing high wage earners!
  21. alexscottislegend
    Forgive my stupidity but what does POD stand for?
  22. alexscottislegend
    It may be off the field issues which are behind this, but I still think that Alexander is much less of a keeper. I know he played his part, but AM's performance v Werder showed he's at a level few could match.
  23. alexscottislegend
    Can you tell me where McG said he's 'dying' to go? Must have missed that.
  24. alexscottislegend
    To be honest, if that's the choice, I would opt to keep CC AND McG. and spend no more than we already have. What would it cost us to replace McGregor? Alexander is a fine back-up, no more. So really we'd have no net spend anyway.

    ......or Kennet Muller from the Bundesliga.
