  1. Ayala was poor against Leeds I thought, Hines is the only other option with woody and Gibson injured
  2. I never expected Burgess to make the first team in the future, he's already 22 and is still a long way from first choice. I assumed Smallwood would take whitehead's place in the squad next season if we weren't promoted but it's probably best for Richie to be playing regular football at this stage of his career. I remember I read a quote from him when we activated his contract extension which suggested to me that he actually wanted to move on. The most important thing is that the club has given two more players professional careers in football with good teams. Peterborough are possibly the best
  3. Luke James would be a top signing as a third option in attack.
  4. Damia signed and played against Leeds, that's about it really
  5. Dimi in goal against Bolton please. Damia was at fault there as well I think playing sharp onside
  6. Isn't saville a similar player to Leadbitter? Why would we want him? After all our deals are complete the squad is going to be huge, chances of the likes of Morris breaking through are slim when he's got Leadbitter, Clayton, whitehead and Smallwood all ahead of him. Its Time to get players in situations like that out on loan now.
  7. Hope we don't play whitehead in midfield unless if it's with butterfield. if we do I predict a disapointing and dull 0-0 draw with no real attacking theeat from either side..
  8. I noticed that as well.. Ah i just realised that adomah probably isn't back from his extra rest after the WC which could explain that one. Very interesting about Steele though.
  9. Brilliant piece of business! Credit to bausor and his team!
  10. Don't even think we need vossen tbh, Graham (or equivelant) and a young no.10/winger on loan and we're sorted for the attacking positions imo
  11. Hope we don't go for a right back from the secunda division, the defending generally looks quite poor judging from the videos of kike.
  12. Blimey 3.5m euros sounds a bit steep, karanka must rate him highly. Can't really judge him yet but I hope we can get DG in as well in case this move doesn't go to plan. On the positive side his wages must be quite cheap which is maybe the reason that the club are willing to take a big gamble with the fee.
  13. The gazette have covered the vossen story now... Interesting
  14. I wouldn't be very impressed if we spent all that money on vossen tbh. I seem to remember that a genk fan came on here last summer and told us he was a lot more effective as a 10 than a 9. We've already got Tomlin and Butterfield who play there as well as Williams and reach who have played there on loan. Having said that i think he would be a brilliant player for us, I just don't think he is the kind of player we are in desperate need for right now.
  15. I think this world cup hasn't been nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. We were in a very tough group and didn't make it through. However, we clearly played the best football we had done in a while, Especially against Italy with a fairly young team. I think we have the potential to do well (last eight?) At the euros in france. By that time I think Micah Richards as somebody already said and Kyle walker will take up both right back slots and Kieron Gibbs will be first choice left back in front of Baines. Cahill and probably stones will be our first choice centre backs but hopeful
  16. Nugent or graham would be fantastic signings, i'm glad we're going down the route of a more proven forward at this level rather than taking a big gamble. Its also good to see the interest in juke. Feeling a lot more confident about the window now.
  17. Anthony vickers said on the comments section of his blog that mejias coming in doesn't necessarily mean Steele will be sold, he seemed to think that he is more to replace Leutwiler. Maybe he knows something
  18. that should be the end for Steele then sadly, hope we get him a move to a premier league club who will give him opportunities to impress and challenge their first choice.
  19. I'll be getting the home kit for the first time in ages. Both of them look great
  20. Jordan spence would be a good free signing, maybe not quite good enough to be first team but he has done well this season on loan. Vellios would be quality, but I wouldn't like to rely on such an inexperienced player to be first choice. Jack collison would be fantastic as well, I'm sure we would have lots of competition.
  21. I would give him a one year extension on less money and tell him he has until january to push on and really press for a starting place. In my opinion he was unlucky with strachan probably making him think he was amazing and had made it already, which may have affected his mental attitude. Then he was used very little by mowbray which must have been hard. For whatever reason he never got himself out on loan and just faded away over time. I don't think he will make it with us, but i wouldn't be surprised if he got back in the championship with another club at some point in his career.
  22. Yeah mellis is a good player, but he's an idiot. He was sacked by chelsea, assaulted his girlfriend and set off a smoke grenade in training. Not the kind of guy we want anywhere near a dressing room which, at present, seems to be very happy.
  23. I think the thing which we forget, because he has been around for so long, is that he is still only 23. Of course he doesn't command the box as well as shay did and possibly as well as dimi does because he is far less experienced. However, collecting crosses is pretty much his only flaw. His shot stopping is excellent, he only started making mistakes when he was behind a really poor defence and his distribution is top notch; As good as any keeper in the game I would think. I think he would regain his spot with ease given a chance. Maybe the new goalkeeping coach can help him improve his comman
