£10m Curtis Davies speaks

[kippaxvilla2]

You have to laugh at the cart horse.

Big players? I'd rather see us sign the 'Bennetts and the Lowtons" than spunk £10 million on a flat footed lummox who mistakenly thinks he's a world class centre half.
 

Like we did :-)

They've got some good players. But I can't remember what any of them are called.

Yeah, their best player Lukaku is only on loan from Chelsea. Can't understand why he didn't start the match to be honest. When he came on he was a real handful for Vlaar and Clark.

Because he was less of a handful than Long?

What a waste of money this bloke was, 10m when he'd played one premier league season (and probably about 10 more premier league games than Gary Cahill at the time who he replaced).

Tells you all that the only premier league club that want him are Norwich.

I remember looking this up at the time. Their records in terms of games played in the top flight and then games played in the championship were virtually identical - somewhere between 28 and 30 top flight games each, I can't remember the number of championhip games. Cahill had scored more.

Whether O'Neill was right or wrong (badly wrong as it turned out) the disparity in transfer fees seemed very odd at the time.

I was told that MON's main objection to Cahill was that he was a "play it out of defence" type, whereas MON preferred them like Knight, Collins, Dunne - "row Z" types.

One thing about MON, he's stuck to his beliefs consistently for years now. Two big men at the back in the middle, full backs who concentrate on defending first and foremost, big man up front, wingers.

Morrison is easily Albion's best player.

He should be at a bigger club than them. I'd be most happy to see us sign him.

Thought their midfield three looked strong yesterday and I'd say that all three would probably get in our current team.

We've already paid for him.

Although the money didn't actually move for a year, at the same time we signed Curtis Davis, West Brom paid a reported 1.5 mill plus add-ons for Morrison. 

We also forked out for Marlon F.H., Reo-Coker,Routledge and Salifou

[SoccerHQ]

Mulumbu is pretty good at what he does.

They signed him for what 1m ish?

We signed Reo-Coker for 8.5m.

[PeterWithesShin]

Mulumbu cost £175k

I think he was in the boro youth team that stuffed is in the final , i remember him looking good then ( i should have been a scout)

[olaftab]

Gobshite is one of my favourite words in the English language,

Oi Davies, your a GOBSHITE !

It's a pity your actual English language skills are so poor.

It's 'you're'.

Thank you for teaching me as well. Up to now I have been using "you are a"!

[Lee]

Jesus tity fucking Christ.

One wanky mid-table finish after years of playing 2nd or 3rd division football, followed by yo-yoing up and down is called "kicking on"?

They're all on glue.

This!

Thought their Argentinian midfielder looked a decent player as well.  On a more positive note, their squad is paper thin and a few injuries should see them really struggling.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

To be fair, by half time they had 5 regulars missing. They'll do okay thisseason but it won't be too long before they find themselves back where they belong.

[Risso]

I've always liked Gera as a player, weren't we linked with him a few years back?
