Only over the last few years has Giggs seemed to lose his pace, Martin Petrov is still rapid at 32 and Drogba is no slouch at 33.

Owen lost his pace due to injury, it's all about how you look after yourself these days.

If the reported drunken bouts are true, he won't be pacy for long.

Re: Lennon itk.

He loves a sambuca. Witnessed first hand.

I can't see him being sold, though. Remember something about City swapping for Johnson but not sure if that was ever backed up?

I can't help but laugh at the notion that Lennon lacks technique. Has nobody seen his control of high cross field balls while on the run? The guys ball control is second only to Modric in our squad.

a big myth is his lack of delivery...it's excellent for a man of his speed, he is also very clam in front of goal..Adam Johnson vrs azza...it's azza every time..I also think bale has helped motivate him...
I have met him and I found him arrogant and stupid..but on the pitch one of my favourite players..never meet your heroes..

Redknapp on sky sports says chariman working harding at bringing a couple in. Sounds like the deals are done tbh, just a matter of medicals / announcing. Lass and Ade.

hmmm.......can't remember who it was, Mystery or Ackie? Basically an announcement should be made before or during the match :shrug:

It was Akqwayid (or however his name is spelt).

No idea if it was a guess, or itk. Put it this way...I won't be holding my breath for a Diarra announcement today.

Indeedy.
He put in a couple of lovely crosses against Hearts the other night and I thought it was widely considered that he'd sorted his final ball out a the season before last.

From what's said, he could do with an attitude adjustment but a lot of that probably comes down to maturity.
He moved a long way from home at a young age and took a fair while to settle. Plus, coming from the rougher side of town almost seems to mean that he's burdened with that faux "gansta" mentality and always trying to be the man.
Couple that with Shit loads of money and sms (small man syndrome) and it's kinda understandable.

I'm hoping that he'll improve with age and the influence of some of the more professional players in the squad.

I don't want rid of him yet, that's for sure - he can be devastating.

Edit - apologies for labelling this "news" - my fingers are too fat or something!

Sorry, made me chuckle is all. For some reason, I like the word clam:shrug:
