I must confess that when Riviman posted that stuff about Gary Fraser my first thoughts were - never heard of him. What's this to do with us? :oops:

You and me both, LE. Yet there's never a shortage of experts whenever the name of some 18 year old Guatemalan crops up that's played a half an hour for Comunicaciones's stiffs. :conf:
If you spout bullshit with enough confidence then a few people will buy it. For example - this new keeper (can't remember his name) has just been unlucky the last few years. Promising at club X, then moved to club Y and found himself behind a decent keeper and fan's favourite and couldn't get in/prove himself. Add to that an injury or 2, and you have a hidden gem just waiting to be polished and keep 15 clean sheets between now and May, fullfilling the potential he showed in the academy aged 14.

Apologies for using the very slimmest excuse for Scouse-bashing, but I've always found Liverpool fans to be amongst the worst offenders when it comes to grasping for a spurious sense of self-importance by pretending to be an authority on obscure players.

Never an apology needed for Scouse bashing .... no reasons are required.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

The BEN reported that this was happening a few weeks back. Something along the lines of Malky had given his blessing for the loan to be extended until January and would be confirmed at the end of the initial month loan.

A spot of good news, that. We should've bought him ahead of the hapless Baptiste IMO.

I wouldn't say that Baptiste is hapless, he is being played totally out of position and incidentally is our top scorer
Pfffft.

I've seen him play right across the back line and he's been a liability in them all. And really, our top scorer? That's like me saying I've got the biggest cock in my house.

Didn't think he'd played at CB for us, if he has I apologise. Is it like saying that though? He is our top scorer at the moment, that's indisputable fact
Pfffft.

:lol:

As it happens and to follow the analogy, I think we need your cock up front.

Even at your age it'd show more guile and has more chance of scoring, than either of our current <cough> weapons <cough>

Marc Albrighton is apparently going to Wigan on loan, would have thought we could've looked at replacing Feeney with him, were we not so low down I suppose.

I'm surprised he'd want to go to Wigan too be honest as they've hundreds of wingers already? I'd wondered if he'd be ok for us, but again its whether he fits into DF's tactics, and financially whether we could afford hsi wages or the % of them.
