Well Downing and Henderson play for England so.......

I just dont get whats happened to him. At his best at Liverpool, there was not a more dangerous striker in the world in my opinion. He had everything. Change of club, city etc can be unsettling I know but such a drastic performance drop is just mind boggling. The guy must have personal problems or something.

Could be true but it wouldn't be solely down to him anyway.He is slow and gives away needless freekicks that so often end up costing you. Decent enough player for backup no doubt he did a job for us last season but we really really need a proper CB as Williamson will end up being our starting CB for a good portion of the season considering Taylor's injury record.

I think that was the case for the first hour or so but he started getting his act together in the latter part of the game. No doubt he was way way off his best though.

6 days to go, either of Peiters/Douglas in and maybe some striking backup and this will have been a great window.

Centre back was a must imo. Not looking forward to seeing Williamson back once Taylor gets injured again. We'll really need Colo for this one, hope he makes it. We'll need a magic moment or two again from someone to take anything from this. Jonas will have a vital role again in keeping Mata/Hazard in check. For all the complaints about Jonas the man is absolutely vital, at least in games like these. One of those players that dont look like setting the world on fire when they are playing yet you miss them dearly when they are not.

Aye, he is progressing 10 times faster than Enrique did. He was brilliant at times last season, though he did have his dodgy moments when he started out. I think he's going to be a real quality player in years to come, with not too many injuries hopefully.

Aye cant put Marveaux in that category because on that basis then at this time last year HBA would have been an ugly signing! Dont agree on Gosling or Abeid either, too early to judge! And yes, harsh on Perch.

Bump - to get into the mood for tonight

Thanks!

http://www.dailymoti...-remember_sport With the quality of the goals from this season, I thought we just had to have the best of them in a video. Tried to get 'em all in but I think I might have missed one or two here and there.

That would just get Terry to score

I know, like I said it was talksport. Think he's a pretty decent player, those stats are a bit misleading. For reasons others have already stated we're probably not interested though.

Gossip column says we're in for Kalou, then I read the source which was talksport

Good luck to you all but personally I'd be gutted if a team with the likes of Downing and Henderson in it won anything. Just wouldn't be right. Notwithstanding Lollerpool did win the Carling Cup with those two in it so who knows

Good news, from what we've seen so far the man's a genius!

Yup, a promising youngster as a 4th striker no matter what. And if Ba leaves then a proven goalscorer is a must. Hope thats the plan.

The Sun linking us with Johnson, now that would be a canny signing but I seriously doubt we'll pay what City are likely to ask for him. Agree about the striker thing. Even if Ba stays we should be looking for that 4th striker now that we're in Europe and the injury concerns surrounding the man.

Aye that could be a factor, some things from your childhood always seem so much better dont they. But I loved that text commentary thing on it, the later games have these fancy engines and what not but they aren't as much fun to me. Also that game had a certain simplicity despite having enough detail to keep you interested and a very very good user interface.

Guess I'll be supporting France then

Any body remember CM 01/02? Haven't been addicted to a football game since that. It was so much fun, the manager games these days have a lot of detail but somehow are not near as much fun as this was. I was wondering if anybody knows a site etc where you can get patches/updates for new players etc for that game. If it there's anything of the sort that is, considering its over a decade old now

Aye, Im surprised a bigger club didnt go for him. I think midfield isn't a priority for us at the moment, we'll probably try to strengthen other areas first and sign someone like this Coventry lad we're linked with to backup the midfield, unless someone leaves.

Aye, even if we hang onto these two surely we need another one still to make up the 4. Bas Dost linked with West Ham of all clubs yesterday.
