Fair enough mate, just saying I think he'd be a good addition.

Well, one can mock, but someone who points a lot could be invaluable. B-lose came up with, as usual, an unspeakably shit team with very little top flight experience in 2002/03, and owed their survival almost exclusively to that twat Savage, who more or less showed the entire rest of the squad exactly what to do. Well, him and Dugarry.

Keane's only a year older than when he lit us up for a few games last year, and will be good for the odd ninety minutes, the odd hour, and the odd twenty minutes off the bench. He has technique, experience and an eye for goal. If we're going to go for him though, we don't want to be hanging about 'til the end of January like last time. Let's get the full two months, or longer if possible, this time.

I'd agree with this, we're in the shit and we need some older heads.
He's one we could really do with.

I think it's the over end of midfield where we need experience.  A more defensive player who can control the tempo of the match better.

Wouldn't mind a decent winger, but it seems Lambert isn't interested in that position.

I agree. A lynchpin to be relied upon to win the ball from the opposition and move it on to the more attack minded players. When I say win the ball back, I'm not necessarily talking of a tough tackler ala Nigel De Jong, someone who can intercept well and isn't scared of the ball.

I wonder if 'our man in Germany'has already been in touch with PL about targets for January,as others have said,a defensive midfielder would be top of my list,if he's 6ft 4,and can do the 100 metres in sub 11 seconds, even better.

There is a whole cavalcade of them on that blasted channel around that time of year.   Odd Monster Iain Dowie, Cantscoreino, the twat with the phones and half of Newcastle anytime they pan to the Sports Direct Arena  (guaranteed).    Cxntsoup. 

I might just hibernate this year, maybe until about June, actually.

I thought it was commonly accepted that Lerner made more funds available for Lambert in the summer. We had a bid for Dempsey accepted but he chose not to come. Lambert made the decision to buy young, lower-league players. No doubt we have a wage-ceiling in place but as regards transfer fees I wouldn't worry too much in January. It's up to Lambert to get the experience to go with the yoof he already has.

Some of you are worrying me now - if Keane is the answer, I dread to think what the question was  :o
