Sidwell names that Toon

And Brett Emerton is better than every player named in this thread so far.

 

Glad to see there is no bias in your opinion Steve.

Although I also suffer the same afliction as Steve, I have nee bias to 'stralian players. That being said I'd be happy to see Emerton as our new RB and Lucas Neill brought in on the cheap as West Ham returns to the fizzy pop league and his contact get out clause is activated. We could do far worse than build a backline involving those two (except during WC qualification time).

If Lucas Neill's West Ham wages are to be believed, I don't want him here. We'll only end up paying him way over the odds - isn't he supposed to be on something like £65k a week at West Ham?

But of course the wages were nothing to do with the fact that he turned down the team he supported as a lad and was going to be guranteed European football next season.

I know for a fact he didn't support liverpool as a kid, so don't always believe the press release hype!

And of course wages were a factor, Neill has not denied that but he also spoke about how going to West Ham meant he was first choice for the starting 11 whereas at the bin dippers he was only going to be a squad player, something a player who wants to captain his country at the asia cup this summer can't have.

Throw off your calipers and run Forest run.

 

Quick quiz, who do you think Brett Emerton allegedly supported as a kid?

[Gemmill 47033]

He's still getting paid mental wages which he'd expect us to get close to to bring him here. So he can tie me kangaroo down sport and fuck off tbh.

I don't know about that, I'd say Liverpool won't want him after he snubbed them and its really only the rest of the top 3 who could afford those wages so if they don't want him he'll either have to take a hefty paycut or fuck around in the Championship for a while.

good point. i'd much rather have a proper playmaker than a box to box guy.

 

with the proviso we keep a holding midfielder as well

 

Agree with that, I don't think there's much call for box-to-box players. I'd rather they were designated attacking midfielder and defensive midfielder, then at least each would know their respective roles. Might be able to use the b2b man instead of one or the other when playing much better sides or poorer sides respectively, or when playing five in midfield, but I'd rather a bit of structure to be honest.
