sniffer

wright philips has been rubbish this season when he has played and, judging by the chelsea forum, many of their fans would give him bus fare back to manchester. Bit of favouritism if you ask me.

If they players we need were not available then I'm all in favour of waiting until the summer. Roeder has to know that there can't be any excuses then. I don't see the point in bringing in loan players if they aren't significantly better than the players we have unless it's a view to a permanent transfer. What we do need is a clean out next summer and definitely move out the likes of babyaro, Luque, Pattison and possibly Bramble and carr.

I thought robson had some kind of position at Ipswich? On the board or honarary position perhaps. Either way, I think he's too long in the tooth these days for every day involvement.

Tell them you're a paki...stani and they'll be sending Scotland Yard up to help the local plods.

Then this rule is now out the window. No longer a rule in fact as it's unenforceable in court. Has anybody seen the details of the " special dispensation "?

Rubbish. We'd have been better off getting rid of ameobi and keeping chopra who is 3 years younger. Ameobi is 25 and not going to get any better. If he can't head a ball by now he's never going to learn.

If Luque is priced at 10 mill, Viana 8.5mill, Boumsong 8 mill, marcelhino 6 mill, Bassedas 4 mill ...as sorry a bunch of losers as ever walked on a pitch......then Bent is worth 15 mill at least. He won't need the mandatory 2 years to settle in and adjust to the pace that the foreigners usually need........or at least the ones we buy.

Not sure why? You have to be kidding me.

Rush ameobi back. Please...he might miss next season as well.

I'm not sure that Mouhrino will repeat the success with porto. No other team could afford the players he bought and they still aren't a " great " team. His whining now is only because manure are basically a better team, better motivated and better coached. So are Arsenal and Liverpool, IMO.

IMO, interest in football would fall dramatically apart from the four teams you mentioned. I doubt if I'd be that bothered about tuning in to a super league if the Toon could never participate. Still, for globalization people and to hell with any traditional values, the demise of football probably ins't an issue as they'll tell you it's been replaced by something better. It''l be our own fault if we are too dumb to see it ourselves.

I'd rather have Duff than two mediocre defenders like distin at 3 mill each. That will get us nowhere. We need quality not cutprice shite.

He's a waste of time and money at this point in his miserable career and helps make us a laughing stock. It's an absolute joke that he has any involvement with a premiership club after the obvious decline in his ability. He should've pissed off back to france a long time ago.

Couldn't care less about some over the hill player that will turn out to be no better than what we have. A signing just to get a warm body. The season is pretty much shot now anyway so we might as well give youth a chance. Fortunately there are some really bad teams below us so there's only one relegation spot up for grabs IMO.

I think you'd guess wrong. Sheraer is a much bigger name in football than Keane even with his manure connections.

I have to say that if I was FS I wouldn't give Roeder much money to spend. I'm sure he doubts if he's the man for the job so what's the point in giving him 10 mill or so? This season is shot now anyway so we might as well wait until the summer and have a clearout. I doubt if we'll qualify for Europe on a league position or win the Eufa cup so we might as well keep the powder dry. Give the kids a chance I suppose.

n'zogbia has been shite for most of the season with nobody to blame but himself. Duff may not have been any god either It's a load of bollocks to try to blame him for n'zogbia beeing just as bad.

We'd probably play in pink and white if he listens to the fairies he hangs out with.

If the Toon never existed, and Sunderland were the closest team, then it seems logical that we'd all be mackems. Hypothetical situation of course but it would be the case.

Sunderland. It's the closest so it would be the most logical.

Martin's needs a good player alongside him and we'll see him improve even more once Owen is fit. Sibierski is a carthorse and I hope Glenda doesn't think ameobi's anything but a 4th choice at best. Both of these players are a joke for any team that has top six aspirations...or better.

Does anybody really care? Apart from whoever has to clean up the floor.

It's very clear that glenda has absolutely no idea or any plan for this transfer window. What's even worse is that he was joke in the summer and so you'd expect him to identify targets since then and this has not happened. Total knee jerk reaction to the arsenal perfmormance the other night. Glenda needs to go.

It's interesting that you use the term " retarded " with no thought as to how offensive it can be to some people. I think that the PC brigade will jump all over you and quite rightly so.

Hopefully roeder will resign over this storm in a teacup. That would be worth it.
