M G WHITES Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 replace spending far less money. Therefore our tally is:- Pluses: Cahill, Taylor Minuses: Shittu, Muamba, Robinson, Knight, Elmander Lot of money on shite Another div who just comes on here to moan
Rembrandt Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 So since Megson got back into work on Tuesday he's apparently secured Chung-Yong, Ricketts and Knight but we've not seen hide nor hair of em pitchside with a wanderers shirt/scarf and Ginger Gary I'll not belive it til i see their grinning mugs on th'official site I'm with Frank. I'm waiting for the various mugshots with shirt/scarf on th'official site, or midnight 31st August, whichever comes first.
Rembrandt Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Just one other thought ....... maybe the Whites are being clever and want to make a big splash with 3 signings announced at once : Ricketts, Knight & Lee. Well, it's possible, isn't it ? Isn't it ? Oh, suit yourselves then.
Sir N Lofthouse Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) So that has cost us ?6.5 million (inc Shittu) to replace Faye who we sold for ?2 million Good work huh Assuming Knight is as good as Faye Are you stupid? Faye didnt even play centre half for Bolton his position was centre midfield, ben haim/ bruno and jaidi where the centre halfs! Some people make shit up just to have a go at Megson! Get a grip! Do you also see Manure fans saying o we paid 9 million are whatever for Stam but replaced him for 29 million in Ferdinand............ times change, prices change! Edited July 23, 2009 by Sir N Lofthouse
Theboybell Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) To sum up simply Holly goodhead John Thomas The special one With all respect due you talking utter dogshit Im am excited about the news on Knight solid defender. Better than what we have which is a GOOD thing and all this talk of Meggos signings since he been here apart from shittu (who to be fair i still think is adequate cover for our CB and IMO a better defender than AOB) all have improved our squad. Minor point to the notion that mccann is not a good Megson signing, He didnt sign him. that aside one of our better players last year and as with shittu is decent cover for the 1st team. Can we not just get behind our club lads? Edited July 23, 2009 by ringer
mannyroad vet Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 knight would be a good addition to the squad and might....just might be a decent partner for cahill... as for rickets,dont know much about this lad but if you remember the last ricketts we had he turned out alright for a season then his head grew rather large thinking he was a international superstar, we sold him for a tidy profit and he disappeared up his own arse.. so the omans are good. if we get all three signed up by end of the week then thats good work..
maje Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Just to throw my two pence worth in, i never really rated Knight at fulham. A mate of mine thats a villa season ticket holder also says his nickname with the fans is Zat Knightmare. not saying he is worse than AOB or Shittu but would prefer him to be a last resort and maybe find a good solid defender from abroad for the same price or at home for a little more i.e turner at hull.
Matty Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I think Knight will turn out to be a good signing. It also adds to our strength in depth which was lacking last season as previously stated. Also you say paying a little more for Turner, but dont they want around 8m for him? Getting someone from abroad who isnt used to the pace of the league also can be a risk and doesnt always work out better look at Colocinni at newcastle didnt he cost around 8m? And I certainly wouldnt want him here.
Russell Sprout Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Are you stupid? Faye didnt even play centre half for Bolton his position was centre midfield, ben haim/ bruno and jaidi where the centre halfs! Some people make shit up just to have a go at Megson! Get a grip! Do you also see Manure fans saying o we paid 9 million are whatever for Stam but replaced him for 29 million in Ferdinand............ times change, prices change! I saw Faye play CB for us loads of times. Obviously you were'nt at those games.
HomerJay Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I saw Faye play CB for us loads of times. Obviously you were'nt at those games. and he was poor, piss poor. But he has gone to play for Milan and barca, and win the champions leage, world player of the year and the world cup I suppose. Remind me who he plays for now?
Guest Holly_Goodhead Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 and he was poor, piss poor. But he has gone to play for Milan and barca, and win the champions leage, world player of the year and the world cup I suppose. Remind me who he plays for now? A club that got 4 points more than Bolton last season.
Danny G Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Faye played many a game at centre half, probably just as many as in Midfield, before you start calling people stupid, get your facts right FWIW i thought this was his best position, id have him over OB and shittu in the team any day of the week

Can we not just get behind our club lads? So you are saying anyone who makes a criticism is not behind our club? If i said i thought a manager should sign player X when he pays a lot of money for player Y, then that is not allowed and i'm not supporting the club. Edited July 24, 2009 by John Thomas

tylswhite Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I had another txt late last night saying the Knight deal may not be done in time for today but it should be some time soon. Ricketts has agreed to join though.
Russell Sprout Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Faye played many a game at centre half, probably just as many as in Midfield, before you start calling people stupid, get your facts right FWIW i thought this was his best position, id have him over OB and shittu in the team any day of the week I could never quite decide which was his best position for us. I thought he played really well for us at CB but possibly even better as a midfield destroyer- Arsenal used to hate him! Didnt he win Stoke's player of the year?
Spider Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I could never quite decide which was his best position for us. I thought he played really well for us at CB but possibly even better as a midfield destroyer- Arsenal used to hate him! Didnt he win Stoke's player of the year? If he did win Stokes player of the year, would he have to build a really big cabinet to keep him in?
Tyler Durden Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 So you are saying anyone who makes a criticism is not behind our club? No not at all. Just the perennial negative c*ntdrips who would say grass was the wrong shade of green just to have a pop.
wayne cramp Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 gawd this site is so boring and full of kn0bs nowadays .
Russell Sprout Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 If he did win Stokes player of the year, would he have to build a really big cabinet to keep him in? Not bad, I'll give you that Spider. In fairness, you do make me laugh quite a bit although some of the things are almost unreadable
Danny G Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 who called anyone stupid, stupid? I wasnt refering to you Homer, Twas the post before, Stupid!!
Sir N Lofthouse Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I saw Faye play CB for us loads of times. Obviously you were'nt at those games. If Ben haim and bruno where fit he played cm, that fact means he played cb as cover, meaning he wasnt brought to our club toplay CB, he is a hard tackling midfielder.
Sir N Lofthouse Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 A club that got 4 points more than Bolton last season. A team that overachieved and will suffer next season?
Russell Sprout Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 If Ben haim and bruno where fit he played cm, that fact means he played cb as cover, meaning he wasnt brought to our club toplay CB, he is a hard tackling midfielder. From what I remember of your earlier post you called someone stupid for suggesting Faye had played CB for us. Dont try and worm your way out of it now Ernie. I remember him partnering Jaidi quite a few times and commenting on what a good partnership they had going.
