Piquionne is a difficult one.

I've only ever seen him play in sides that are doomed for relegation.

I'm sure he'd be a better player in our side, and as Carew looks like he'll be off maybe a backup striker he wouldn't be too bad.

Newcastle are willing to let Barton go for £1.5m

I've got a feeling that it's going to happen.

I wouldn't mind Barton at all, I know people will shoot me down, but from a football point of view it's a good cheap move.

Sidwell to Wet Spam?
« Reply #1982 on: December 21, 2010, 02:47:03 PM »
Just been out in car and Talk Shite are stating that Sidwell is having medical at Wet Spam and SCott parker is moving - but did not say who to???

Surely Ged has players lined up before letting anyone go?

Scott Parker will go to Spurs, and the fact he isn't Champions League cup tied means Redknapp will work hard to sign him.

He wouldn't come here.

Parker will go to Spurs, as everyone knows there struggling for midfielders!

Looks like Redknapp doesn't trust Jenas or Palacios to play with VDV & Modric.

I can see it happening.

Piquionne is bobbins. Has one good game in 5. Doesn't score goals, and is 32. He's Henri Camara mk 2.

That would be an O Leary level signing, or maybe even Taylor 2 level signing.

Not really.  He's crap so we shouldn't sign him!

I really can't see Newcastle letting Barton go for £1.5m he's worth more than that

Whilst I'm fairly certain it is, I hope that the link with Barton is bollocks.
I dont want that scuttering eejit anywhere near this club, never mind wearing it's shirt.

Agreed, I don't want that vile racist thug at Villa

Basically, Sidwell had one decent season, followed by spells with two much bigger clubs where he couldn't cut it

I think that's the problem with him and a lot of players like him.  They look great at a 'smaller' club where the team is built round them, but when they move up a level and need to adapt their game to those around them, then they can't. 

In truth he's probably a better player than we think, but not as good as we need!

Small fish/big pond syndrome.

which is why he might do well at West Ham. He's back in the south of England, not as big of a club, and he might get more playing time

Here,here,don't want that scumbag anywhere near the club. Could easily be the beginning of the end for gh if that signing went tits up.

Does that mean we'll end up with Jenas? I'd take Palacios.
