I would trust you more if you knew the difference between "Their" and "They're".


I'm glad I'm not the only one irritated by the lack of spelling and grammar.

Perhaps we should sign Foley then. Would be useful back-up for Rosenior.


Wish we could. Quality player.

Hoop Blah I don't see what the fuss is with Mancienne. Tidy, but nothing special.


Wolves fans may tell you otherwise.


QPR fans would certainly rate him too.....


No doubt they would. From what I've seen of him though I think he's tidy, but nothing special.

Certainly not the kind of prospect that justifies being taken along with England an squad.

Feel free to drag this up in a couple of years time when he's the rock at the heart of Englands 2014 World Cup winning side!

OK, just so long as I know.

Just an aside - one of my neighbours has a dog called Gimpy.
The first time I met them I nearly smashed him when he shouted 'Hey, Gimpy' in my direction. Now I realise he was right all along.

It's a Football forum, not a spelling and grammer forum.

SpaceCruiser was being ironic (i think :P )

No need for you to go off on one about grammer, while rubbing the Cruisers nuts.

Their full backs Foley and Jarvis are their best players - Kightley flatters to deceive, plays well against the lesser teams and goes missing against the top teams

Stranded Now come on Dirk you know well enough that only our players are of any interest to PL clubs and anyway even if others do lose they'll go straight out and spend millions on replacements whilst we'll spend nothing as JM pockets the dough...


Whilst clearly in a mocking tone, the last part of that is not something to joke about. The reason I dont want hunt going is we won't see any of the funds used, so why bother selling players? We still have a whopping amount of unused cash from our summer transfer dealings we haven;t spent, why do we need another 3-5 million of unused cash?

Totally agree ; what comes, in stays in - so why sell . We must have made over £10m in transfers recently (as well as wage savings on top earners like Shorey and Kitson)- will be interesting to see how much is spent, anything above £2m will be nosebleed time

Are you happy with Armstrong at left back ?
Are you happy with NHunt up front ?

If the answer to these is yes, then why keep harping on about using the funds. Our style is to replace with bargain versions that do the job - they've done the job. Sir Steve has always been able to unearth a few gems, but his track record with big money purchases is less than ordinary.

What will be interesting will be not how much we spend on replacements, but how those replacements perform.

Wolves Royal The rumour round here is that Kightly has been playing on an injured hip for at least 2 months, and it's getting worse. He probably wouldn't pass a medical, and as far as i can remember hasn't played more than two-thirds of a season without physically breaking down since he went to Wolves. For the kind of money it would take to get him (+5 million) that's a big risk.

Anyhoo, Kightly and Ebanks-Blake just get the headlines, Jarvis and Foley are their real key players.


And which PL teams won't know that ? The scouts are not incompetent. If they'd seen better players that are not the headline grabbers, they'd be feeding that on. The fact that the journos are so lazy that they don't find out such info is no reason to suspect that the said players are safe from transfer.


I don't think that that's always true. Clubs like Newcastle need headline-grabbing players - now more than ever. Whatever their stats, I'm not sure that a Championship striker will satisfy the demands of their fans, who always seem to expect players fresh from winning the scudetto or Brazilian league; I can't imagine comparatively unknown players from the lower leagues being popular amongst the Toon army.

Of course, it's that kind of approach that I think means they are permanently oxf*rd, but there you go.

There is a difference with the Kightly situation, as he hasn't taken every oppotunity to publically state he wants out of Wolves.

Kightly isnt YET a premiership player though - hes a v good champioship level player, and if he goes up with Wolves he's not being exposed - if he gets a big money move to say Newcastle he's there for a hiding
