Emre 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 If this turns out to be true it looks like a lot of you are going to have to apologise to Mr Akabusi for your sarky start to this thread. 162412[/snapback] Just been on SSN 162427[/snapback] What did they say mate?

The Mighty Hog 508 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Gotta say I'm a bit miffed over the price. Good player but he spends alot of his time on the treatment table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm happy if wor mate Kris is reet and we all have to eat humble pie like. Should he arrive, does anyone reckon N'Zog could do a job at left-back? I've thought about this in the past and I reckon he could but due to our needing him on the left-wing it's never really been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44436 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Could we not play Duff up front in the Bellamy (fast annoying bloke) role and keep Zog on the left wing? Bellamy wasn't prolific in front of goal, but his running and pace created opportunities for others, and he chipped in with goals as well. Or am I doing a reverse Souness?

I think Zog would do well at left back but i wonder if it would be a waste of talent and if his contract is up in the summer he could well leave.

geordieshandy 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 If it comes off I think Zog will be moving inside to a three man midfield with Emre and Parker with Duff joing a three man attack with Milner and Ameobi or Luque. It's been well documented that Charlie prefers a more central role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the attributes to play wide too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn qualified for Europe and made a 2m profit out of him.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Zog pushes inside a canny bit anyway, but I've never thought he looked that good in the centre of midfield. Perhaps a long run out there will do him good. If this Duff signing is true, then it's a coup and a half by the board like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a lot different if he was there with Parker and Emre! I really like Duff but I'd much rather see a propper striker like Kuyt here.

Gemmill 44436 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The BBC still aint biting. 162483[/snapback] .com are: We understand that a deal could go through today (Friday), meaning that the signing wouldn't be dependent on a successful conclusion to our Intertoto Cup tie. The 27 year-old Balyboden-born winger has played on both wings, as a forward and even at left back since joining Chelsea in 2003. While we're long-standing admirers of the player, we'd surely be buying him for his goal-making ability, providing the bullets for someone else to fire. Duff has netted 19 times in 125 Chelsea appearances - we need someone who can equal that tally in a season. Duff would encounter plenty of familiar faces at Gallowgate, including international colleagues past and present in the shape of Stephen Carr and Shay Given, plus fellow former Chelsea players Celestine Babayaro and Scott Parker. PS: The Chronicle can genuinely came that they were first with the transfer news, running the story in May 2000 when the player was at Ewood.

It's been well documented that Charlie prefers a more central role. 162453[/snapback] I'm pretty sure Souness is the only one who's ever said that, and, as has already been said, he's looked pretty out of his depth when played there...by Souness. As for him playing at left-back, he's always tracking back as he's got the commitment and energy, but he's a pretty woeful tackler. Very exciting winger, all the attributes; can't see him adapting to another position. Oh, and Duff has played up front for Ireland a couple of times, and I think a few more for the U21s, he's looked reasonable at it, can't see him filling Bellamy's boots, he's not annoying enough. I'm a little underwhelmed at the price we're paying, as I fear Shola is going to be our main target man, but maybe it's a sign that there's more money to spend than we think? Or Freddie is expanding into the lucrative Down Syndrome market and hoping the extra shirt sales will cover this transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
