It still could be possible that your misquoting was deliberate, even if the words were real. I wouldn't pursue this in the courts if I were you.

Someone get Judge Drenthe in here!

Simon's Church Not really sure I want my team associated with one of the most corrupt clubs in European football.

LightwaterRoyal The last time I was this confident going into a season Brendan Rodgers was manager.

Way to kill the mood

Ah yes when i said depth i was referring to the fact we have ample back up for every position! our first team players are all quality! It pleases me to no end to be able to say that!

Yeah I think he is facing the end of his career but I just think he has some games at least left in him. I see your point about competition for places which is something we had with Hunt and maybe a signing like Sharp or Ebanks-Blake could help us out in that department and that Blackman is playing ...

A backup forward needs to be available for pretty much the whole of the 46 game season don't they? If not, how are you going to plan Roberts involvement around the starting forwards being unavailble? Available for yes but how many would he actually play in? In Roberts case im gonna guess 20-ish! an...

SPARTA I'll stick this in here rather than give it it's own thread, but we have a trialist at the club today.

any idea who?

Drenthe for the sheer brilliance of the man! I hope he builds another club under his house

How can Roberts be a serious alternative or backup if, as you agree with me, he's unlikely to be involved? A few years back we mistakenly didn't get sufficient cover/competition on our right wing because we thought Little would recover. He never did and we used a stupid number of square pegs in the...

The difference being with Blackman is we've now seen him play! He may flourish under Adkins of course, but he didn't look good enough last season. Roberts is another one who I'd say, like Carrico before his move, is just unlikely to play much. He's had a serious injury and I'd be surprised if it do...

He did it two games in a row, two consecutive throws of his even. The second time, in a home game, I shouted "Don't foul throw" just before, and then he went and did it anyway :roll:. That is brilliant! I hope he takes all of our throw ins from now on. While he was only on display briefly...

P!ssed Off PS: If Blackman's next 'long throw' is a foul throw, then I will wash my hands of him completely.

Ha didnt the commentator say something along the lines of "you dont see that often at this level"? good times..

:roll: If we'd signed Blackman this summer everyone would have been very happy with it as a 'sign of ambition'. If we want to give youth a chance then we'll have to give 'untried' players a chance to prove their worth. Roberts will some back from his injury by September. And as you say Pog and Alfi...

Oh yeh! Because clubs are always looking to loan out proven goalscorers! :roll: :roll: What a daft argument! Clearly some haven't learnt from the the mistakes of the past. John Guidetti is 5th in line at man city and seems a good player! He would def be available on loan and actually could be playe...

Need to learn to quote, mate.

Um i can but then my response would have been in the quotes.. The rebuttal parts?

Current Strikers ⋅ Pogrebnyak - Looking likely he will leave. Rebuttal - Has not yet left (we should not sign a marque striker when we have one on 65k a week) ⋅ Le Fondre - Proven Championship goalscorer. Agreed. ⋅ Blackman - Not proven at Championship level. Rebuttal ...

I love POG. In every possible meaning.

All strikers on pro terms for ourselves and six rival teams, those likely to feature regularly in bold. One observation is that the teams who have remained in the Championship for a few years seem to have accumulated quite a few forwards, while the three relegated teams are shorter in that position...

Of course we damn well do! Roberts is getting old and there are big questions against his fitness - has the op worked? Will he be able to play 40+ games this season? Pog seems to want to get out as soon as the chance is there. Blackman - unproven and, from what we saw last season, the jury is very ...

On the contrary, I think ALF will shine in the Championship as, in the nicest possible way, it's more his level. Pog would tear up the Championship if he's given good support - which I think, this season, he will. If we get promotion, this then allows us to buy in more expensive "Premier leagu...
