  • Hahahah

    Ace. I love the transfer window. It makes people go CRAZY.

    Also, while we're on about football: Souness BUYING Wolves?!? What the hell is that about?!

    • Djimi?

      Pompey are the Primal Scream of the Premiership, picking off the dregs of famous bands that once had great potential - a sort of pikey Bolton really.

      Apologies in advance to Colin, before I'm had up on the carpet!

            them then.. They're not awful, they're just not your bag baby. I don't see why you dislike Portsmouth so intensely anyway, they've done amazingly well recently, I though you liked a poor man doing well?!

  • sheffield united

    have paid us nearly one million pounds for Jonathan Stead. He averages one goal every 17 games.

    JacobJones | 11 Jan '07, 13:11 | X
    • Bloody hell

      It's a non-stop rollercoaster of fun today. Jon Stead: most Premier League clubs on one CV with fewest goals?

      bamos @JacobJones | 11 Jan '07, 13:13 | X
      • Harsh

        Blackburn where he was good then faded, and a rubbish Sunderland team where he was crap. Ten goals in 77 appearences is his record.

        Surely this must be awarded to Emile Heskey or Aliadiere or someone.

        scarfo @bamos | 11 Jan '07, 13:15 | X
        • he was

          good at blackburn for a couple of months and then shocking afterwards.

          he actually put in some decent performances for us in the premiership but he can't finish and he's soft as shite

          JacobJones @scarfo | 11 Jan '07, 13:17 | X
        • Aliadiere?!

          He's played for Arsenal in the Premiership. Maybe West Ham too. Neither Wolves or Celtic are in the Premiership

          dove_from_above @scarfo | 11 Jan '07, 13:55 | X
          • He's played seemingly lots of games

            And scored once.

            scarfo @dove_from_above | 11 Jan '07, 13:55 | X
            • He's made 29 league appearances in the Premier League

              Of which 20 were off the bench. So that's a little unfair.

              • and he DESTROYED

                liverpool on tuesday so for this week i am willing to let him off my harsh words.

    • Not for us, he doesn't.

      You must have scared him or played him out of position or summat, because whilst he was on loan to us this year he's been brilliant.

      scarfo @JacobJones | 11 Jan '07, 13:13 | X
      • derby?

        he got 3 goals in 15 games. which is shit.

          • He wasn't playing up front

            He was playing as a link man, and his all round play was outstanding.

            • Evidence :

              He was nominated for Novembers player of the month.

              • we've replaced him

                with someone who got 16 goals in 18 games in the SPL. I'm really not too upset to be rid of him...

                JacobJones @scarfo | 11 Jan '07, 13:20 | X
                • Yes.

                  Stokes appears to be a class act.

                  scarfo @JacobJones | 11 Jan '07, 13:56 | X
            • you seemed

              to be suggesting that his goalscoring record was vastly superior at derby. as i said below, he's a technically gifted player but can't finish, won't fight and is way out of his depth in the premier league.

              JacobJones @scarfo | 11 Jan '07, 13:18 | X
              • Hmm

                He's an enigmatic one. I think he could bloom into an Andy Johnson type late developer, but as you say, he needs to learn to fight.

                scarfo @JacobJones | 11 Jan '07, 13:20 | X
                • ...

                  "he needs to learn to fight"

                  you've either got it or you haven't. i spent a whole season of watching defenders knock him over and him sitting on the ground pleading with the referee. it was embarassing.

                  JacobJones @scarfo | 11 Jan '07, 13:21 | X
        • But it was his 'all-round play' , dear boy

          He just stood there looking dopey while Stevie Howard and Lupoli bagged the glory.

          bamos @JacobJones | 11 Jan '07, 13:14 | X
          • he's

            quite skilful, good first touch, decent range of passing ... which suggests he should be playing in midfield, rather than upfront.

        • The funniest thing

          Is that Traore is a European champion. And not just any old champion. Remember his clearance off the line in the final? Crucial to Liverpools win.

                  I can see Traore being a good signing. How many of you expected Kanu to be up there with the Premierships top goal scorers this season?

                  Also, worst player to have a Champions League Winners medal: Jonathan Greening?

                    yeah, I was trying to think of someone crap on the subs bench in 1999.

                    Re: Kanu, he has always had the ability but just somehow ended up at a couple of crap teams.

                  • Yeah, Greening is shit

                    But it's kind of less notable as he didn't even get on the pitch during, let alone start, the final.

                      I thought he'd come on, for some reason. David May was also on the bench that night!

                      Also, out of the eleven players that started for Bayern that night, ten of them were German. That's pretty impressive, no?

                                I guess it's just more to do with the lack of English players going abroad. You think of some of the players England have produced over the years. It's just weird thinking that McManaman is technically the most successful English player to play overseas
