Thats a cracking post by supertom and very difficult to argue with!
Shaun Maloney i have always rated and Lambo could be the man to get him back.
Dempsey would be a wet dream signing!
Would it be possible to get Pavlyachenko back in this country?
Robbie Keane would be nice too.
If its Doyle then that just tells you where we are at.

Dawson, Adam and Doyle would be good business. They'd beef the team up and give us a few experienced bodies until players such as Gabby and Albrighton are fit again.

As things stand we lack a lot of beef, have a small squad and lack experience. I'd feel much safer we got even two of the above names in.

Get the freakin' cheque book out Randy!!!

Maloney definately, very good player. Why did he leave us in the first place beggars belief.

Just when I thought i'd heard it all with the NRC jizz-athon, along comes the Kevin Doyle fan club. I'm beyond even attempting to get into a debate about that one.

Also I wouldn't particularly want Adam, part of the reason Rodger's wants to get rid is a lack of mobility. If we're going to having a passing midfield we need mobility, which was evidenced when KEA moved further forward on Saturday.

Yep. I thought he had the potential to do very well at our club.

I'd rather just go with what we've got if the alternative was to sign plodders such as Doyle, Reo-Coker and Maloney.

Sounds like a few ppl want us shopping in all the wrong places, then no doubt will complain when we dont improve/get relegated after signing such shite...I'm going to have to start a "Just Say NO to Shite Campaign"

NRC. NO!!!
Adam. NO!!!
Doyle. NO!!!
Maloney. NO!!!
Stearman. NO!!!
Barton. NOOOOO!!!

So why didn't he?

When he was actually at the club?

Whilst we're at it what's Balaban up to these days? Reo Coker was bad enough but Maloney! He was so homesick for Glasgow he ended up playing for Scottish league side Wigan.

I think Randy is well and truly borassic lint. We will have another 3 months of 'make do' with what we've got and then in desperation buy the likes of Carroll around Xmas. I was so optimistic before the start of the season but now I see the ghost of 'Eck rising over the Witton End while we try to match his record of magnificent glorious draws again. You can't win with journeymen!
