Its not as though there are loads of decent ones knocking about is there?

 

There's 100's of em. All failed midfielders of course. :(

Why the fixation in modern day football with DM's and AM's may I ask? What's wrong with a good old central midfielder may I ask?

 

They died out due to global warming, can only see them in captivity now.

We don't have the funds. :( Keegan doesn't want one. We are too shiet to attract any. All are plausible.

The OPTA stats show that he may not be as shite as one may think! I don't know if you can read too much into them though, but still....

Faye can play there and he`s a monster who`s good in the air thus offering more than Butt will defending set plays. Get a creative midfielder first although I suspect from comments made by KK that Guthrie will be filling that particular void thus saving Fat Mike a few quid

 

We need to get a striker pretty quick once we offload Smith n the stroller

If he was 24 I'd give him a five year contract.

What it doesn't show is how many games we were getting dominated in while he was running around prettying up his figures. And as Stevie says.

There are a lot worse than Butt although the fact is age is catching up with him and he isnt the player that he was, squad player yes but our first choice holding midfielder I dont reckon he can do a full season and as I said before I would give Faye a crack providing the Colloccini deal eventually goes through

It's a shame we didn't get Butt when Robson first went for him, but that was a long while ago now, certainly someone else that isn't going to last too much longer.

Off the top of my head, isnt Carricks favourite club newcastle?

 

He was let go through our academy fuck up last time keegan was here and ended up at west ham. i don't think we ever put a bid in for him before he went to manure, but if we did i have a feeling he still would have went there. I'd love it if he signed for us, but don't think he'll be going anywhere for a long time.
