Regarding Charlie Adam, his contract runs out end of this season, that's why he is so cheap.

Regarding Petrov, his goal was smashed straight at the keeper, no composure at all just like the sitter he missed 2 mins before.

NRC is our defensive midfielder Charlie Adam would work brilliant with him, so fingers crossed.

If NRC is still a starter for us next season then we're fucked, he's a whole hearted athlete just not a very good player.

Petrov's goal was a great finish to a really good bit of football.

I think his absence made NRC a better player in the mind than on the pitch. I am guilty of this with him. He is in no way good enough, and a midfield pair of Adam and Makoun is much more enticing than Reo Coker and Petrov.

Still need a forward though.

There's nothing wrong with NRC if you allow him to play to his strengths and not expect anything else of him.  Good defensive midfielder who then needs to play a simple pass to someone better than he is.  We need to upgrade him to someone better on the ball, but to do that and still give what he can defensively is a top notch player. 

He'll be vital in this battle we're facing between now and May and after that I'd like him to stay around as a squad player.

I'm hearing Hitler's invading Poland.


Depending on your viewpoint I might have some bad news about John Lennon.

He's alive?! Shit.

If we were not in the bottom three I'd have concerns about the signing of Adam limiting the development of Bannan, stunting his metaphorical growth if you will. Needs must.

Can I make a public appeal for the club NOT to sign Joey Barton, please?

Is there any one, at all, that thinks this is a good idea?

You do think it's a good idea that we sign Joey Barton?

My thoughts exactly, sir

Will be pleased if Larsson goes from the Blues to Newcastle ahead of Sunday as he strikes me as always being up for it against us - he has been given permission to talk to them
 
However, that does then worry me about who might be leaving Newcassle to come to us in light of the JB rumours!

Me too. I think Larsson's a good player too.

As for Adam, I've read his contract is up at the end of the season and Blackpool have indicated they will sell, given the right price. If they've turned down £2.5m... can't see them wanting much more than £3m. I think he'll go.

So was he only given a 2 year deal then when they signed him in August 2009?

Quite short sighted of them if true!

Could the Charlie Adam be an attempt at forcing Lyon's hand over Makoun? Or are we interested in both players. They're very different players I suppose.

Sounds too short, doesn't it? But then again, August 2009 was a different time altogether for Blackpool... who'd have thought a year later they'd have been in the PL? Maybe a two year deal to sign a player from Glasgow Rangers was all they could afford, or were prepared, to offer?

Joey Barton could yet be be sentenced to an eighteen month contract with the noses, suspended for two years.
