You know, if Droopey had said that about one of our players it'd generate a (minimum) 20 plage thread wanting his bullet ridden carcas on display in B6 within 48 hours.

If you don't want to talk about another team's player, Alex, then don't!

I'm disgusted that the club didn't do their research and find this out before agreeing the deal.

Randy and Alex out!

To be fair, he's Stuttgart's player and available to talk to who he likes as he's technically out of contract.

Quite true, but I still think it's wrong of Alex to say what he did while he's playing for Fulham.  Turn it around the other way and we'd be spitting feathers!

Is he Polish? That would boost the crowds a bit.

I'll give Eck this, he's more imaginative than MON in the transfer market. However, I'm still not convinced about Pogrebnyak. He's had a decent run recently, but he's been pretty average for Stuttgart (not bad, just not as good as they'd hoped when he was bought to replace Mario Gomez). A sort of Villa-level Zigic if you will, as in Zigic wasn't quite good enough for Blues level when they signed him, and Pogrebnyak would be similar for us I fear.

I've liked Pogrebnyak since that Zenit UEFA Cup win a few years ago.

Finished as the top scorer in the tournament and I reckon that had he not got badly injured would have been a star in Euro 2008.

Some players are just suited better to some leagues rather than others. I reckon that he's just one of those players who works really well in the Premier League.

Oooooh he started with his drinking
When he first hung up his boots
He hangs around Liege, pissed up
'cos he's proud of his Belgian roots

My old man's a Bosman
He wears a Bosman hat
He won a famous ruling
But he lives in a council flat

Slow day on the news desk?

V.good btw

Genius.

Brilliant.  Insightful post my man.  Sack the scouts and employ the PC.

Can McLeish get his letter daddy to send us Berbatov in the summer?
That would be nice.
