This, a press conference with Redknapp, seems to give the clearest indication of what this investigation is about. As I read it, providing the payment to the Agent by the club was declared and in order it comes down solely to the agent making a payment to Faye. I read somewhere else...

I thought MA made some very strong decisions yesterday. After Hendersons apparently match winning performance in mid-week it would have been easy for him to keep him in the side until he gave him a reason to drop him even though we all know Henderson is not a promotion winning keeper. I was...

This is the team I would like to see tried as well as it utilises the best performing players we have at the moment. There is a real need for us to support the strikers better from midfield and without a true attacking centre midfielder currently Hume looks to be the man.

Admittedly it was only one game but comparing the relative performances of Newton and Porter yesterday a right sided attacking midfielder all of as sudden does look justified. My instinct is that Kaebi will take a season to adjust and will not be a regular starter for a while. From what I can...

Newton will be history if Ferreria joins...

my thoughts as well, not sure DJ can do the lone striker thing though

oops, first paragraph is suppoosed to be in quote box, sorry Marshall

He wants to anchor the midfield and just needs a more mobile/attacking midfielder next to him. Weso at times today was guilty of filling the same space as Clemence, thereby limiting our movement. I think this reflects what I saw as well, Clemence rarely looks as if he is going to run beyond...

There is definitely a period of settling in needed, in the first half today we won a corner on the left and everyone stood around wondering who was going to take it!.

De Vries seems to play in slow motion, he is not the answer!

Went to the game today, first time I've seen us this season. First half was pretty poor, didn't make their keeper work at all. De Vries lacks any aggression and rightly substituted at half time. Sheehan we out of his depth, Newton on the ball at lot but produces nothing, never takes his man...

26 mins - attacking throw in, fryatt shot ballooned over bar...

The Season Ticket Holders Crossbar Challenge At the start of the season all season ticket holders can elect to be entered in to the challenge, each week 3 or 4 are drawn out and at half time have one chance to hit the crossbar from the edge of the 'D' for £1000 prize. Not original but...

David Oldfield. Mastered the step over before Ronaldo was even born - mind you that was his only trick, and he was as likely to fool himself as often as the defender.....:icon_conf

agreed, wouldn't be my pick for our key striker role. No panic yet on signings though, there are plenty of rumours throughout football currently but look at how few signings that have been completed in the last two weeks - nearly all are for out of contract fee transfers. Anyone currently...

I agree, it sems a long time since Stearman played well - the first game last season against Luton seemed to rid him of any confidence for the rest of the year - but when he first broke into the side the season before he looked to be a decent prospect. He also has an attacking instinct from...

ouch! :icon_bigg

looks like a bad case of end of season withdrawal symtoms to me. If we win the first couple of games at the start of the new season and you will be dreaming again. :icon_wink

yep, 17 posts in and I think i have really got the hang of this TB thing :icon_wink

and both would look pretty average behind our midfield of last season :icon_bigg

I guess players do it in different ways - John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are both very different characters but both effective defenders.

Positionally what do you do when an opposition midfielder is running through untracked as they were doing frequently last season - come to met them and you leave space behind, don't and they may shoot - it can make any defender look bad. Agree that he doesn't seem to command the defence so in a...

Always quite liked Hendry as a player but don't see him as a box to box midfielder, more of a Joe Cole type playing just behind the striker(s) or cutting in off the wing. I reckon Hume could do that job for us though..

Despite my defence of him on another thread, Kisnorbo was truely, spectacularly, laughably bad when he first came and played in midfield - surely some of the most imcompetent performance in recent times

I would be in the keep him camp unless the fee was at least £2m. Opinion on the defence last season can't be taken in isolation - they had minimal defensive midfield cover leaving them exposed to forwards running beyond them and whether it be Logan or Henderson neither keeper commanded the box...

A couple more 'local' games for us next season, really slim pickings last year

If I go out to my balcony I can see the transmitter, Ill give you a wave.. Thanks for the welcome, been reading the forum for a couple of months and am liking your opinions Alex (crawl, crawl :icon_wink)

I'll get my coat.....and jacket, and tie :icon_roll

oops, isn't O'brien the big old cogger at the back?:confused:

For a side with a defence that always seems to be on the wrong side of a shambles Newcastle actually have some decent individuals that could slot in elsewhere. i actually think that Bramble will prove an excellent signing (for Wigan wasn't it?) and Taylor is being linked with Liverpool as the...

Up until the end of June most of what we will see will be free transfers on released players having to use their summer to find a new club - everyone else is on holiday. i expect to see us splashing the cash come July once everyone is back but I would be surprise to see it exceed £2m even after...

everythings relative -could still be living in Leicester :)

Whereabouts are you?

The lovely leafy utopia that is.......Hackney!

We seem to have brought some experience in to the centre of defence and attack - N'Gotty and Cort - i would also see a ball playing midfielder being an older head - Holland?. Younger players can give the midfield some drive and get beyond the forwards, something we have been badly lacking for a...

I think Sinclair would be an excellent signing for us, he may have lost some of his 'va va voom' (ahem) but still has pace and quality. Would prove very solid for us on the right of midfield. Hello to all TBers, particularly those exiled down here in London!
