Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Witton Warrior]

Sidwell is the player in recent years I've most forgotten was even on the pitch.

he will be forever known for two things; that goal at Everton, the ball boy act vs Hull. That is it.

When we played them at VP the only thing he did was kick Villa players...

Sidwell- looks a decent player in a shit team and a shit player in a decent team. Would walk into our current team, sadly.

Watched him closely when giving a freebie ticket for the baggies v Fulham. There was a period in the game when the pace was slow and he looked in control but once the tempo went up he looked very average to say the least.

The ball boy thing against Hull was brilliant. I was sat in the Upper Trinity next to my Hull supporting brother in law. His face when it happened was worth the entrance price alone.

No point in bringing in Sidwell. Can't say he'd make much of a difference. He looked good in that Fulham team, but El Ahmadi probably would have. They were shocking.

We've had too many midfielders like that in recent years unfortunately. KEA could walk off the pitch, run into the changing room to drop the Browns off at the pool, and no one would notice. Not even the officials. In fact...I'm now beginning to wonder just how many times he might have done that this season. I also suspect Andy Weimann may have had a few stealthy toilet visits too.
They may have used the secret tunnel that Salifou dug from the bench to the dressing room.

Sidwell was just incredibly average for us in his time here, he did actually play a fair bit in the first half of 09/10 ahead of NRC and before we moved Milner into central midfield.

He was comfortably the weakest link in that team, just average at passing, tackling and generally everything else bar a couple of goals and getting forward.

I dont think he was even average , you are being really nice there .


So whats Shorey up to , desperate for a LB

He just signed a new deal at Pompy IIRC

[silhillvilla]

Sidwell is average but he's a cut above KEA . I'd have him back if his wages weren't too high and we could move KEA on.

[RussellC]

Just seen a mention of Derby's Craig Bryson on Twitter. That and numerous links to Hoolahan.

[Mazrim]

Sidwell is on par with KEA. That is to say; hopeless.

It's pointless to discuss the merits of one over the other as they're both miles off being good enough.

If we're going to sign a midfielder, it needs to be a DCM type to sit in and protect the back four, which would then give the likes of Delph a bit more freedom.  That's not Sidwell.

jores Okore retweeted  a few fans who were suggesting he should become out DCM anchor.
Maybe senderos is to partner vlaar with Jores taking up DCM?

[MYSTERYMAN]

There is no interest in Sidwell viewed as ' toxic '
