what a load of crap. For a so called flair player he works very hard

How old is Kane? Maybe we have our striker there. Looks like he made defoe look stupid.
krnajcar different gravy in pre season friendly according to reports.. hope he stays.
That would be outstanding. Also hope we don't sell Bassong as he's handy cover surely.
What reports? I've watched every minute of him available this pre-season and he's been okay, maybe slightly above average.

Haha, jokes.
Even against Charlton he was walking round hands on hips, making Benny do the work of two men, making the centre back pull round and out of position, creating space in the middle.
If you want to try and find some stats I'd be extremely happy to see them ( and thus be proven right!).
The reason he hasn't played this season? Because van der Vaart has. You can't fit them both in the same midfield - even a five man one - because neither hold shape, neither work defensively, and both go wandering around in the centre of the pitch. It's suicide.
When VDV didn't play he still didn't play which is what I found strange.
Hey #1 Spur. I guess choda was right all along when he was slamming our strikers
at least 2 years ago.
Keano can probably still do no wrong tho .

The most ironic and frustrating part of this transfer window thus far is that there are fantastic players going for relatively cheap sums to non Champions League clubs on par with us.
Vidal went to Juventus for 9.2 million pounds. He would have been fantastic in our midfield next to Modric. He's better than Diarra, and frankly, he's better than Sandro (at this point), too.
N'Zogbia looks like he's heading to Villa for 9.5 million. Surely we'd have been a better draw than them. He would've given Lennon major competition and would be fantastic cover in case Bale got injured.
Stekelenburg looks like he's headed to Roma for a paltry figure around 6 million Euros! This is the one that is truly befuddling, as he is an absolute top-shelf keeper who would've been a massive upgrade for us over Gomes, and on the cheap, apparently.
The problem with these bargains is (especially when dealing with strikers), as time goes on they become less likely, as clubs need time to replace who they've sold. Villareal and Roma will up their price the closer we get to the deadline on Rossi and Vucinic because they'll have a harder time replacing them (in Villareal's case, it might be completely impossible). Roma's sporting director has already said last week that Vucinic's price will go up if no one bids on him immediately.
One thing I'm keeping my eye on is whether Odemwingie signs an extension at West Brom. If he wants out, I think he'll decline to sign a new contract, in the hope that a club like us or Arsenal come in for him late. He won't propel us to the top 4, but he is better than what we have.
Haha, not sure I remember a Pav / Keane / JD / Crouch debate so maybe a tad after my time! But yeah, I bet Keano is still the main man in that household! His JD vs Keane threads could be called a bit infamous as far as messageboard posting goes!
