Summer transfer rumours, speculation and out-and-out b*ll*cks.

[Greg N'Ash]

A winger that can't cross is pointless. The one time SWP did make an impact was the 1st time at Citeh when he was being played in a floating role when he was more likely to be on the end of the cross rather than crossing it. He can go past players but if the final ball doesn't actually reach your forwards then what's the point?

[Grande Pablo]

Now Bellamy has been told he can go & won't be part of the squad, he'd be a good season long punt.

[gervilla]

I'd rather him on the wing than Heskey or Gabby. He scored a few crackers in pre-season.
If it's him or nowt I'll gladly take him.

But it never is 'him or nowt' is it?

If we can afford to pay Shaun Wright-Phillips then we can afford to pay another winger.

One who might well be younger and better. And both of those qualities shouldn't be too hard to manage.

Yes but are we being linked with someone younger and better ?

[Dave]

What does who we are being linked to have to do with anything?

In the last few weeks we've been linked with the likes of Pjanic, Milner and Vargas at one end.

We've been linked with the likes of McFadden, Cole and Bridge at the other.

None of them are coming. So just because some rag says we might want to sign Shaun Wright-Phillips has absolutely no bearing on what we're actually going to do.

Why are there pages of discussion about SWP on here so ?

Except he'd probably be injured for three quarters of it.

Because we're so starved of real transfer activity that any half arsed rumour gets debated to death.

Exactly...plus Young was linked with Man u, Downing with Liverpool and Reo Coker with many European giants. sories linking clubs with other clubs players. Why shouldn't we discuss them Dave. Some happen and some don't.
They are news paper

Discuss all you want.

My only issue was that you said our choice was potentially between Wright-Phillips or nobody.

Which is nonsense.

I think you're missing Dave's point.  You seem to think it's a choice between SWP or nobody, as he's the only winger we've been linked with.  That's the impression you gave anyway.  Personally I don't think we're in for anybody even at that level, and that scares me.

[Greg N'Ash]

Depends what level you mean Risso. I would imagine we'd not be in for SWP because he's on a king's ransom, not because he's too good for us

[gervilla]

O.K. I hear what ye are saying.
Papertalk. What else do I have to go on ?
I'm sure we have tonnes for other wingers lined up to pick from, the press just haven't got hold of the list yet.

[JUAN PABLO]

I don't know why people are so anti-SWP. He's not that old yet and I think we need three wingers.

I never liked his brother Willis

Wat u talkin 'bout Juan Pablo ?

[ozzjim]

I think he would be a revelation for us.  If we could do a deal for him cheaply we should.
