south_cheshire_toon 0 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 There was a very good article in the mail on friday, and a couple of quotes from it :- When talking about players that could be bought, the chief scout is working to a narrow and specific brief that was provided by the top brass. The article then goes on to say :- 'Only players of a certain age, value and salary expectation make it through the sieve for consideration. The rest are discarded, no matter how good their agent promises they will be'. Another part of the article says that they are one step ahead when identifying players, with having replacements for the replacements ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see who'll replace Cisse in his testimonial match, after having a ten year career at NUFC where he's smashed Shearer's goal scoring record... probably be Shola to be honest Edited April 10, 2012 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same testimonial match, Super Shola will receive the ball from Krul, hail mary it to the far end and handspring all the way down the pitch to fire a bullet header into the top left corner for the winning goal.

Howay 12462 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 probably be Shola to be honest Aye Shola will have just signed a new 4 year extension and will be up for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19839 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Always had a soft spot for Guthrie, can put in a shift when he wants to. He'd be a fool to go to Villa. he's been belter this season and should arguably have started more games given his form. at this stage of his career he might not want to be third choice.

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Understandable but he is he really in a position to turn down 20 games a season at a top-6 club? He is good, but noone is bigger than the club. If he is not onboard with a bit of rotation, he should leave. Look at ferguson, you dont see Nani and Young whining about it do you.

Alan Oliver would always link us with him, even in 2007. Him and Riise I still detest Riise even to this day, in the twilight of his career. He's offensive quite frankly in the sense that he's made a top flight career out of being generally competent and toe-ending everything thats fallen to him within 30 yards of goal. Literally toe punts everything. It's anti football. I'm ashamed to the point of being apologetic at toe punting anything-you do it as an absolute last resort stretching for a ball. He does it as his very first thought. Horrendous player and face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're hardly man u though are we? This our first good season in about a decade. True, but we are heading for europe and between suspensions, cups and injuries guthrie is likely to get alot of games for us even if he isnt a regular starter. If that isnt good enough to the point of wanting a move to Villa, then I say let him. Look how wonderful the careers of our recent quitters have panned out.
