 I'm surprised he's 'only' 30.  A veritable spring chicken!

Seriously though, if the sum total of our ambition is to sign 30 year old has-beens then I won't be going down as much next year that's for sure.  Luckily, I think it's bollocks so it's nothing to get worked up about.

the scary thing about riise is whatever his deficiences, he's probably a better fullback that anyone MON bought in during his reign. Shocking really.

He's no better than Luke Young IMO, Greg.  Same age too.

I'd also say that the form we had out of Warnock for the first 6 months would show he is better than Risse. Just a shame he's lost it since then.

Risse is utterly wank.

Got a far superior record than young who i do rate. scores a fair few more than warnock, certainly hasn't got warnock's atitude problem. reminds me of staunton a bit.  I don't really understand why he's so bad given his record and our current options, but there you go.......

Riise? Lazy Journo's..ex liverpool player linked to ex liverpool manager shock.

Although, he's 30 (Luke Young is 31 isn't he?), averages about 1 goal in 10 (not bad for a full back), half decent going forward...I can think of a lot worse choices to be fair for £3 million.

I was told last weekend the Kieren Westwood was on the verge of signing for us by a Cov fan. Personally I don't think he's that great.

I'm sure i remember quotes from Risse stating we came in for him too late when he moved to Roma.

By a couple of years. He was terrible in his last season at Liverpool.

That's a very good point which is mostly overlooked now. 

His fall from grace seemed to coincide with being rushed back from injury. Thereafter he was a disaster in progress.

Not sure you could play Makoun then Mazrim.........certainly would'nt be able to play Bannan.
Our new midfield saviour?

Hope he's creative.

I'm used to the role but might struggle at Premier League level.
I'd be better than Petrov though.

Come on, he wasn't good enough when he was here and nothing has changed. We've got enough midfielders who can't pass a ball.

Agree

Always tried hard but a bit of a one trick pony
