Don't rate zaha although have only seen him in a few games.  Looks like a showpony with very little end product even in the championship.

Guthrie had a really good game against us at their ground this year.

Then again, it was only against us.

Yeah he was excellent that day. Tends to be a bit hit and miss though.

Bosmans tend to want high wages. Bound to be a bit of interest in Guthrie.

I think he is a decent link for where we are at now.

Makoun and Petrov on the way out if acceptable offers come in I'd say.

Guthrie reminds me of Cattermole. Has some ability but is also an animal.

Another bosman signing from McLeish? Would he... Guthrie?

One of Guthrie or Jermaine Jones would be good business. We know we're on a limited budget for awhile, so it makes sense.

Christ, look who are talking about nowadays.
Limited budget for a while is basically while Lerner is in charge, could be years.

Don't worry. We're set to be taken over by Qatari somewhere in February, early March. Didn't you know? Oh...  ;)

Back on topic. Belgian press linking us with Ritchie De Laet, couldn't get in the Norwich team this year.

I would take the gamble on Guthrie I would also like Zaha to come here too.

He might well have, but that might be a one off. He was dreadful for Blackburn while he was there. I saw Zigic have a couple of good games in Spain, but wouldn't say he's any good.

Fair comment. I must admit I can't even recall him playing for Blackburn which might say something. He looked really good last night and I was surprised when commentator said we were interested.

As I said yesterday the movement he had infront of him from Fartan, Holtby, Draxler, Raul and Huntelaar was top class meaning the Twente defence and midfield were otherwise occupied giving Jones the freedom of the midfield, he just would'nt get that with our lot standing around with there hands on hips.
