all play for the tree (im irish ok) sides most likely to go down.

we have been linked with 2 of them would cost around 35 million for the ttree (and with a stutter) of them.

is it good business - do we need any of them - and if we did which ones?

for me adam no- good but not an improvement.
parker - ?? yes - and no - not sure he is an improvement on what we have

nzogbia - could be good cover for bale and lennon.

Adam - No. Good player but we are well stocked for midfield playmakers.

Parker - No. Up until January would have said yes to this, but Sandro's emergence (plus Palacios waiting for a chance) means he is not needed now.

N'Zogbia - No thanks, think we have better reserve players in Kranjcar and Pienaar.

N'Zogbia if we missed out on a superior winger like Young. Neither of the other two now Sandro has emerged.

Oh and if we spent anywhere near £35m on those three I would seriously have to question who the hell authorised that.

Adam we bid £5.5m I think it was in January which was accepted, which means that Parker and N'Zogbia cost a combined £30m.

That's way too much. By about £20m.

I think Parker is knackering his body this year with all the injections and injuries he is playing through. Reckon will come back to haunt him soon. Can't argue with how good he has been though

Would have been worth getting Parker in for the run-in to this season, as his experience may have helped us focus on the league and win some of thosse winnable games we failed to take advantage off. As of next season, however, he will be a year older, and so will our players, with the experience gained form this year, so, now, no.

Adam...a very good player, sadly, couldn't see him displacing anyone in our first team, and would run the risk of taking over from Kranks as a player we all know to be good, but just can't fit into the team.

Nzogbia...ditto, but with too many well-docuneted hang-ups.

We don't, of course, know what any plans the club may have, are.

N'zog wasted his talents - he could've developed into a top, top player, yet something has stood in the way and my money is it's an attitude thing. Each time a transfer window has opened, a slew of clubs have been advertised as interested, and he's played well enough on occasion to warrant that interest, but the big move never came. Was he demanding in the contract department? Were his clubs always expecting too much?

Just an odd situation - so much promise, so many avenues open to him, yet he just remains in relative obscurity at clubs that aren't going anywhere quickly.

I definitely rate Nzogbia but the Adam and Parker would just p*ss off more superior players such as Hudd and Sandro. I'm all for having a big squad but Harry has the inability to rotate effectively that is why players such as Bassong and Kranjcar end up questioning their futures with us.

Could be worse than that still, there was that ITK yesterday that we are lining up Green to replace Gomes :doh:

really wouldn't be surprised if we did go in for green, for all his qualities and achievements since he's been at spurs, transfers and targeting of players have been most disturbing :-|

Crap Sandro, crap Huddlestone and crap Pienaar.

Our midfield is already up there with the best in the league anyway.


3 forwards who are marked improvements on our current lot is all please.

N'Zogbia is a genuine talent, but tends to think he is God's gift after a couple of goals and doesn't put the work in, maybe a good man manager like Harry could sort him out though.

He could well be a one season wonder but I think Adam has been way better this season than Huddlestone has ever been.

Midfield is not a priority for us anyway.

Why would we want a CM who is brilliant at set pieces,free kicks and corners and who has scored 25 goals in 70 games for Blackpool which is a better ratio than either Lampard or Gerrard.
Don't be silly!:duh:
