And some kind of moving tether, attached to a rail along the left touchline, to pull him back whenever he tried to wander to far (y)

you mean a child restraint ;)

Can the mods ban the name 'Joe Cole' like they did with the Berrrr...yyyll name?

Oh, been in Magaluf for 5 days on a stag do ... have I missed anything?

yes but we can easily get 4 or 5 top players alot better than pienaar, kranjcar,jenas, defoe and pav etc etc to really challenge first team positions. we are too predictable for other teams. every game last year i predicted right team and that cant be good. we need more variety and more class and more options. there is serious players out there who can make a rea
l difference for less than 70 k a week or whateve it is.

Even if Harry upgraded with 4 or 5 top players he would just leave players like Lennon, BAE etc on the bench until they got pissed off. Harry is good at managing a team but not a squad.

Couldn't those stats for us just aseasily be produced by having to play squad/fringe players due to injuries to one of the preferred starters? Because that is very far from a rotation policy, utilising all of your squad to give regular rests to key players, without them having to be injured, whilst always putting out a pretty strong team.

Couldn't you as easily suggest the same for the other five teams?

All six clubs had a core of 8-9 players who started over two-thirds of all league games. Ours, no surprise whatsoever, comprised Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, Benny, Bale, Modric, VdV, Parker and Ade. You've then got a dozen or so more making between one and 20 starts, and a few odd bods making a handful of sub experiences. As far as we're concerned, it's a pretty safe assumption that Lennon, Dawson, Huddlestone and Sandro would have figured more prominently had injury not prevented them.

Its Keano - I know he ballsed up the Nan thing, but he was pretty adamant he had family connections last year with Cole.. I wouldnt be so quick to discount his info.. in this one case

Is 'ballsed up' now newspeak for 'invented'?

shocking! he is good for everton but was never going to make impact for us but i can see why harry went for him. some quality wingers who can make an impact and difference are afellay , johnson, ramirez. we really need to bring more creativity and more pace to side too.

im optimistic stuff is going on but we need some serious luck in getting rid of alot of rubbish we have to do that. money as always is bottom line with levy.
He was in the last year of his contract ....i think. We will sell him for more that we bought him for and minus the cost of his wages probably works out that we had him for 6 months for nothing.

Keano has been attention seeking for ages, he is not ITK. Safe to say no contact has been made with Cole.

Last summer we ( most of us) were desperate for Adebayor to come in . He arrived , performed really well and now as far as im concerned our priority should be in making sure he stays. He proven in our side its a no brainer.
I just dont get why the call for Ade to be signed up permanently isnt louder. Anyone else is a gamble.
A top keeper , top centre half, back up for lennon and a third striker and we will once again be challenging for 2nd / 3rd place
