Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
I'm a bit confused, I thought our current designated scapegoat was Petrov?

Wes Brown is miles better than Gretar. No, you said Zubar was poor against Bolton. He's liked at Wolves. He isn't a scapegoat, he's just not good enough.truewhite15 wrote:Thought we already had?

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
I didn't say anything, it was someone else, but that's just simple semantics. Zubar wasn't just poor against us, he was absolutely woeful, and I've no idea how we didn't rip them to shreds at the 'Bok down the left. Steinsson is a scapegoat, for all the reasons that have been stated earlier (by Prufrock, I think it was...)BwfcDan wrote:Wes Brown is miles better than Gretar.

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
Selling Taylor to Stoke, having just sold Danny Ward to Huddersfield, and thus leaving Petrov as our only left winger, would be criminally stupid unless we've got an alternative lined up to come in within the next day or so. Maybe the Rodrigo rumours are properly going somewhere?jimbo_bwfc wrote:There's a lorra rumours going round that Matt Taylor is about to sign for Stoke.

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
Apologies. Misread your post. Alright then, I'll give you Zubar. Him and Steinsson are the poorest)'s in the premiership. Don't know why people keep saying he's a scapegoat, he isn't at all. He's just a poor defender, can't mark, can't tackle, no pace, he allows wingers to run at him every time constantly backing off. Not good enough, we aint gonna improve as a team with folk like him in it.Prufrock wrote:Ummm. Just one?

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
But who is there in the Premier League better than him that we can afford? Nobody. Even Ricketts isn't that big an improvement on Steinsson, if at all.

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
If Steinsson has no pace then I can't get my head around the concept that is Michel Salgado. Phil Bardsley is just a bloke from the crowd. I'm not even sure it's the same bloke every week. I reckon he is a concept artwork. Random Dermot O'Leary lookalikes prowl around a football pitch in a position they interpret as 'full back'. Zubar is gash. Chris Baird and John Paintsil are calamitous. Danny Simpson is fecking rubbish too. As for Steinsson, he isn't slow, Ricketts is fecking rapid, and Steinsson isn't that far behind. But then he is white so following Riga rules.... He can tackle, full backs aren't supposed to mark, and yeah sometimes he isn't decisive enough when wingers run at him, but he is still better than all those I named. He is a better right back than Robbie Blake is striker for example, so I'd suggest our priorities lie elsewhere. I don't see why folk fuss about right back. Steinsson/ Ricketts is better than angry dwarf and jury-prone Spaniards.BwfcDan wrote:Apologies. Misread your post. Alright then, I'll give you Zubar.

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
Whats the lad at Spurs called? Assou Akoto or something?
I remember him being piss poor in the few games I saw him in. Might be a left back. Still, probably better then Robinson anyhoo.

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
Salgado can tackle and mark. Two things that Steinsson has failed to consistantly do. Especially the latter. The amount of goals that have come about from him being out of position must be into double figures for the last 2 seasons.
I should clarify by mark, I don't actually mean stick with his man, but rather tracking him and not losing him when he makes runs.

By the way, Mark Mudie at Express FM in Portsmouth is the person putting out the Taylor/Stoke done deal claims.
If he's wrong I fear for him, his reputation will be tarnished. The last thing he wants is his name muddied...

Although its pretty much obvious it's still good to hear from Coyle's right hand manBolton boss Owen Coyle is selling exciting young winger Danny Ward to ambitious Huddersfield in a £1million deal.
The Irish prospect was left out of the Bolton party for their pre-season trip to America to allow him to sort out terms with the Terriers.
Ward was on loan at Huddersfield during their failed League One promotion push.
Boss Lee Clark saw enough to whip out the chequebook for the wide man, who will be purchased using the cash from Anthony Pilkington’s sale to Norwich.
Coyle is willing to let Ward go as he plans to recruit two or three new forwards, which would leave the home-grown starlet unlikely to play for the first team in the near future

I hope not.Meanwhile, Tottenham supremo Daniel Levy is cutting the price on Keane's head to £4million - in a bid for a quick sale.
Keane's value has been cut from £5.5m in an effort to attract interested clubs such as Rovers, Bolton and Aston Villa.

Re: TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thr
Photos of Matt Taylor training in America serve as pretty conclusive proof that we're not about to offload him to the Potteries. Also interesting to see Mr's Obadeyi and Eaves in training with the first team. Given our current striker deficiencies, I think it might be worth keeping a very close eye on those two...
