Re: Ake confirmed on loan

If this is the same kid I remember playing center mid for the Dutch U21's on tv a few times then he's absolutely class. Better than any midfielder we have.

Re: The Yak

Thing is we've got 2 centre forwards who don't really fit our system. Signing a striker to play the odd game here or there isn't really the answer. Better off keeping Samuel and saving the cub some money. Instead we have another Pog/Drenthe/Ferdinand type signing, clearly made by people who don't k...

Re: The Yak

My main concern is he's spent the last 4 years it seems living the life; earning big money; playing at a very poor standard. All the talk of Prem goal scoring records are a long time ago and he's clearly been on big money abroad, so I doubt he's half a cheap as people are making out. At least unlike...

Re: Steve Clarke

I'm surprised at the quick appointment - did we even contemplate anyone else I wonder? Also, was Hammond around at the press conference - Nigel Howe isn't normally photographed at these sort of things is he? I also noted that JM didn't really want to talk about anything, which is very out of charac...

No quotes from Hammond?

Re: Re-poll: Next Manager

If we're suggesting names, Mark Cooper seems to be doing a good job just down the road at Swindon. Looks to be having them playing some good stuff too.

Re: Re-poll: Next Manager

Wasn't one of the reasons Pulis got the sack at Stoke for not getting good value for his signings (Kitson, Jones, Palacios etc) and he walked out on Palace because they wouldn't give him more money to spend? Not really sure we're the right fit for him atm. Dolan seems to make perfect sense given our...

Re: BFTG/OTWH Derby (H) 0-3

Derby are the team we want to be. Balanced, powerful and with that bit of extra quality to make teams pay. I think we'll get there in the end and I reckon Adkins is that man. He was made manager with a remit to change how we play and he's only been backed a little bit due to the ownership debacle. ...
