I think if Arry were still in charge he would be pushing for it, plenty of quotes regarding how he is a triffic lad, not sure where the chairman is regarding him but it's someone we like etc etc

Would I take him for £13m? I think so to be honest. There is a decent player in him somewhere. Not sure he would fit AVB's style though.

Would be frikin hilarious if we bagged him for £22m less than the bin dippers did and he started banging them in!


And should he start to bang them in again, Liverpool may come back with a 25 million bid.

Not sure. We were unlucky at the Etihad...if we'd have grabbed 3 points that day, and remained consistently good until the end of the season winning the games we were supposed to win, getting point/s against our other rivals (like we did two seasons before)...and with the addition of some more quality players....who knows.

Citeh and ManUre both had poor spells in the season. I'm not saying anything is ever that easy...but I thought we looked breathtaking and awesome at times last season. The REAL DEAL. With a couple more additions, a stronger mentality, and consistency...who knows.

Agree with this. We don't need a squad overhaul. Just some quality additions in certain places and we should be good to go.

Where has all the Carroll talk come from? Have I missed some ITK or is this just random speculation?

Isn't Naughton and RB and Fryers a LB? I thought that was what I read.
Yes and yes, though Naughton can (at least he has before) play LB as well. From what I read in the goal.com article Fryers is a left back that can play centre back as well.

I hope we hold on to Naughton, Walker can't play every game. Wonder why on earth Corluka was loaned out last season.

Edit: Maybe this was a rhetorical question.. :)

I agree that Walker/Naughton and Disco/Fryers would be a good combination of starters and young subs for our fullbacks. And Fryers won't count against the squad limits. (y)

The only Carroll I want involved with THFC in the future is Tom. Jimmy Nail can fuck off. AVB and the club agree, mercifully.

Smith goes out on loan I imagine if Fryers is signed. Or does that new U-23 league thingybob start already?

I think a better option might be Naughton (as he's more senior and would probably rather play regularly) going out on loan again and Smith staying as back up to Walker. That will give us Fryers and Smith as good young back up for either full back, who should get plenty of games in all cups as well.

Exceptional point there, BC. Might be better for squad harmony and blooding youngsters in a better, more cohesive manner throughout the season. I would think if Smith does well enough this season if he's given the nod as back-up, we'll get a good price for Naughton who has already shown that he is a capable prem FB next summer.

Fryers?! What the fuck do to know about him? Who knows whether he will be good enough or not.

He will probably be shit like all the othe young hopefuls we have signed

funny but in the main kinda true. jury very much out on many of them but left back competiion and cover was very much needed. if he is the real deal then he will get great chance to make left back spot his imo.

Hope we soon start to get linked to more realistic targets. So Moutinho is to expensive, yet ppl now talk bout Hulk? Always the same drill, beeing linked to big names and all failing due to fee or wages.

Refreshing reading about Sturridge and Adrian the last week, cause thats decent players that we could get. Every window we get linked to superstars and none ever happens, so rather we try for some cheaper alternatives so we get a good pre season!



Refreshing hearing about Sturidge? What fucking planet are you on? The guy is average at best. If
We want to improve and finish in the top 3 them we need much better than a fucking jermaine Defoe replacement. NOT GOOD ENOUGH
