As back up for BAE mainly. I want Bale to stay but think he is more suited to LM or LWB role....
why? :shrug:
oh god ... Barry is a myth in a 442. totally one paced and suited only to a 3 man midfield. Garbage when MON inexplicably changed to a 442 system.
I wouldn't want him instead of Jenas or Modric in a 442.

A massive likewise.The broadsheets are as full of crap as the tabloids.
yeah we need to get real here. If they guy is going to leave Liverpool it will be for Champs League. If anything i can see the gooners signing him.
That was then, this is now.
I feel we still have more of a chance of qualifying for the CL next year than Villa especially if Barry joins us. So if Liverpool are now content to keep Alonso after an excellent season Barry is going to have to make a choice - stay at a bottling Villa side or come to Spurs, a team he will know in and out and are now set to go places - with his help.
If Villa are offering £70k pw and our highest earners are on around £45k pw I can't see that we could possibly offer something comparable. Villa have European football next season and at least as good a chance as us to compete for 4th. I can't see that he would leave Villa for Spurs unless he had burnt all his bridges, which doesn't seem to be the case as he reconciled with the fans and has been a key players for them again this year. I do think he would be a great signng but I don't see it happening.
Defoe's not going to stay fit all season though, and Keane would be great back-up if JD were off form or injured, provided Keane's willing to sit on our bench sometimes (hoping harry's heralded man management skills work here).
Yes. But Keane is not going to want to sit on the bench.
When he re-signed for us, he muttered something about how much he hated even being substituted.
I would be delighted to keep Keane as a squad player who probably wouldn't be first choice if everyone was fit. I doubt Robbie would accept such a squad status.
