Why the shock ? Premier experience at big club , young,course theyll ask that.No harm in asking.

If he's good enough to sort our central midfield out thats peanuts. If he isnt good enough why bother to sign him.

We've apparently offered 1.5. I think that's more like it. He's scored 1 goal in 37 games. That's just what we need, Another midfielder who can't score. Mark Davies has scored more, and he doesn't very often.

We are trying to sign a defensive midfield player. What the fook does goal record have to do with it?

So you wouldn't consider goals as a plus?

Put it this way, if 10 years ago we'd been offered Claude Makelele would you have said no cos of his goal record?

We're not talking 10 years ago though are we? We're talking now, and we need goals to get out of this league at the first attempt. That is what's supposed to be happening right?

I'm more concerned about conceding 2+ goals every match than scoring them right now. With our dysfunctional midfield we are more likely to concede 2 a game than any other scenario.

A defensive midfielder is never going to get many goals. It's an insignificant statistic because they aren't judged on goals nor expected to get them.

or John Jensen.... oh.
looked all right against Jam Tarts last night - looked to get the ball off the back four - tidy in possession.
it was only Hearts but still a plus on what we have already

Who'd you bring in then to strengthen midfield/provide cover for the back four? Tamir Cohen?

Kaka is going spare :wink:

On a serious note, i think Spearing will be good for us. Happy with what I have seen from him at Liverpool. Just don't let him do any interviews :lol:
