Get rid of Petrov & Dunne & Friedel and Heskey.

First thing: get a new GK (given?) , buy Walker, then our defense is sorted. 

Not really. We'd still need a new centre half and a left back.

Left back yes, but I think our CBs (Dunne, Clark, Collins and Cuellar) are fine once fit and motivated.  Of course should one or more leave then we do need to get someone in in that position.

Unfortunately for a variety of reasons, the fitness and motivation of Dunne and Collins aren't that reliable.

I pray that Houllier doesn't try to get Samba again.
He's fucking awful.

He signed a new contract, but if they go down......

Bradley hasn't looked up to much so far, but we can't really judge him till the end of the season.

He aint worth £4.8m !! more like 250k max.
He looks worse than Sidwell !!

Give him a chance FFS.  Why do ppl continue to criticise our own players on here?

Remember the flak Walker got when he signed on loan.  Its ridiculous.

perhaps people critisize because our club is in a relegation dogfight.

I watched Bradley against man City and he was fucking rubbish so then I'll say he was rubbish.

What do you expect people to say about our multi millionaire vastly under performing players?

He was poor but making a final judgement on him after one game is a bit hasty.

Does Bardley turn out for the Reserves ? or would that not be allowed by Munchengladbach ?

He wasn't though. He had a reasonable first half for me but faded as the game went on, not really a surprise on his first start. The fact that all you want to do is rant that he was "fucking rubbish" shows that you're not interested in discussing it sensibly you just want to force your own limited opinions on others.

I would say that "fucking rubbish" sums up his display quite accurately.  It was certainly one of the poorest debut displays I can remember.  That's not say that he won't be a decent player for us in time, but I don't think anybody with all their faculties in working order could have seen tthat display and not conclude that it was rubbish.

Ah, the old "if you don't agree with me you are mental" argument. haven't seen you use that for a couple of weeks.

I thought you'd like that.  It's a response to your "tyou're not interested in debating sensibly" or "you're overreacting" which you use when somebody doesn't agree with you.  I haven't seen you use it for, ooh, a couple of minutes at least.

Sorry Chris, it was in the first half that he made 3 point blank passes to the opposition.
He looked totally unsure of his role in midfield and at times was too close to his team mates.

The nicest description I can use to describe his performance was that it was Sidwell-esque.

I must say that Bradley played like he was a successful entrant on Jim'll Fix It.
