The young goalie he's chasing appears to be a yank called Charlie Horton...19 years old...6' 5"

I read that Spurs were after him too and Griedel is due to visit him but the lad's leaning towards us as "he has more chance of first team action" with us, which suggests he's watched some of our play then.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Mr Z Knight? :conf:
IMHO hes worse, football is all about opinions and I haven't seen Mears do anything of any worth. Ok Knight makes the odd (ok more than odd) cock up, but he occasionally gets us out of the shit, Mears on the other hand is normally in the other half of the park slowly jogging back without a care in the world, at least Knight looks like he give a toss !

I fear if Mears if played as a wing back we'll get torn to bits down the right hand side.
He's the best RB we've got. We concede less goals down his side when he plays than any other area. He's much better than Ricketts.

Does that include Baptiste? Have we signed him yet or do we have to wait until his current contract expires?

No idea. Could beer and pizza be a factor?

Udinese have rejected an 8m bid from an unnamed premier league club for Matej Vydra :shock:

He looks a decent player from one whole season in the championship but 8 million of the queens english pounds????

Looks like N'Gog wants out.. saying he'd love to move back to France and play for Bordeaux. If we can get half of what we bought him for then i'll book his ryanair flights for him. Only so far being a hard worker on the pitch will get you... 21 goals in 145 games to be precise. Sorry David, i've tried to stick up for you and was always waiting for you to fulfill your potential or maybe just score some goals but sadly not. I've come to the conclusion that.. you're shite. Goodbye.

Gerroff. We looked so much better last season with Ngog on the pitch.

But what good is a striker who can't score?

I've come to the conclusion that.. your talking shite. Ngog makes us a much better team. We just need to put a goalscorer alongside him. Ngog to hold the ball up and provide for a goalscorer whilst throwing in with a goal here and there himself.

feck me, we gave legendary status to a guy based on his work rate but shit goal return.

Just a shame for David that whilst he's been with us, he was playing under a complete duffer. He was looking better under Douglas and was for a while, one of our best players.

Agreed

Where never gonna have 2-3 strikers who bang in 10 - 15 plus goals a season

If reports are to be believed then Dougie is after a striker or two (could mean Ngog is on his way) IMO i'd rather sell Sordell

Ngog does't score alot, but he does bring other attributes to the team

He's the only senior striker we have, who when he's not scoring, still contributes.

The others don't score and don't contribute anything else.. Started to run out of patience with Sordell towards the end of the season, but I think with a full pre-season, he could come good. But certainly, certainly, certainly not up top on his own. Which seems to be what Dougie is aiming at next season judging by the Eagles quotes..

yes - I can see this argument... but does that mean we have to play 4-4-2 all the time? or do we put Ngog out wide or drop him back into the midfield... what then of Eagles/chungy/mavis?

True

I do think Eaves will get a fair few games this season. So Eaves, Sordell, Ngog, Cravies and "possibly" 2 more, one's surely has to go? Maybe even two!

I really do hope Sordell doe's come good, but in all honestly...I can't. But i trust your judgement as you see him play more than me

I think with a solid pre-season i think most will come good (hopefully)

We don't need to play the same starting 11 or formation for every match. And we do tend to have lots of injuries at times!!!
