ultimately a bit disappointing? He was fantastic for the toon. I agree with the rest.

6 pages long and we've only signed one player...lol

It's like we're doing a full circle. Back to the days when we bring in players who could careless about the club. I am all for us improving the squad that goes without saying but we NEED to keep the likes of Nolan and Barton who instil some team spirit. Very short sighted on the clubs part if they don't see that.

Although he seems to be now contracted till 2012.. http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/01/19/ch...it-speculation/

Jose Boswinga would be top of my list. Danny Simpson has done ok - but we really need a quality DR.

http://www.twitter.com/Joey7Barton/status/74872635107966976 He's quite amusing on twitter... Can't believe they are not giving him a new contract. The lads in his prime.

He's up there for sure.

Can someone explain why we brought him on? We fell apart almost the second he walked on the pitch.

Oh come on......that was no stroll for Chelsea they played to win. Credit where credit it due we gave a decent account of ourselves and nice assist from Ranger. If only we can keep Enrique and Tiote plus Ashley spends some money we should be ok next season.

Based on his form at the start of last season.

Got to say I think he's got promise.

Would have him back tomorrow. There is only one KK.

Tiote kept us up this season. By far the best find.

With a first class striker we could have won that. Great point mind.

That Robinson lad did well for Liverpool today. May make Kenny think twice about spending £15Mil on Enrique.

How could I forget Stephane Guivarc’h......

Pardew says a lot of the right things but as a manager - Championship level at best. Not showed me anything to think otherwise. Bar the Arsenal comeback a 29.41% win rate even with our squad isn't the best.

This has got me thinking about our poor buys........we've made a few...... Albert Luque, Boumsong, Marcelino and Michael Owen to name a few - those alone are cost over £40 Mil.

Personally I think Marcelino is the worst ever. At least we go goals out of Michael. Marcelino - £6.7 - only 17 appearance in 4 1/2 years. Each one of them poor.

I'm not really disagreeing with your fundamental underlying point here but let's not make out that their owners went and spent £57m of their own money. They reinvested the £50m they made by selling Torres and then paid a little extra. The difference being whether Ashley will spend the money made from selling Carrol and Enrique plus a little extra.

I actually think Coloccini will do ok. He can play midfield. I'm more concerned about STaylor in defence. The guy is a liability. Wise up, he's not as bad as that, he's better than williamson anyway. Disagree - Williamson is far more consistent. He's formed a decent partnership with Coloccini. STaylor always gets caught.

Enrique starts.......Coloccini in Midfield. Mean STaylor back in defence. A Young is going to take him to the cleaners.

Anyone know what happened to Enrique on Saturday? Didn't seem to be injured....just walked off

Really, you were obviously watching a different game to me. And Jonas deserves some dues, the scruffy twat could barely walk and yet he ran it off without complaint. The team thought it would be easy and it showed. Harper....few good saved but his kicking put is trouble quite a few times. Simpson...was shite at both L and RB, just didnt pick up nor put balls in that he is capable of. Enrique....didnt look bothered, lax and lazy today and when taken off wasnt bothered. His hearts gone. Williamson...shocking positional play all game. Taylor....Shite Coloccini...best of the 5 but nothing special Jonas...Yes looked lively and carried the ball well, few good balls too and credit for stayin on pitch but still didnt do enough for me. Nolan...few good runs, few good passes but was too slow to finish a couple of good chances Tiote...bossed midfield again but even he got caught in posession far too much. Lovenkrands....SHITE Best...lead the line well, got a poachers goal and would of had another if he didnt push. Shola...can he just stay through the middle? Shite man. You seriously tellin me your pleased with the "effort"? Come on mate we were shite today. I'd pretty much agree with that. My biggest problem with Harper is his distribution. He just hoofs it up field giving possession straight back.
