Should be our number one target

Him and Brian should reduce our average age considerably! Nothing like a bit of youthful exuberance in the attacking line to get behind defences and get the crowd on their feet.

[Somniloquism]

Although by the time Brian is cleared to play for us........

[Mellin]

Seem to recall he and Vlaar looked like a pretty decent partnership for about three games until one, or both of them got injured.

I'd forgotten all about it, but this sounds about right. Stirs something anyway, whereas if you nudged me toward the contributions of Bret Holman I'd laugh.

[Dave]

Take a bow Big Phil. Should have scored, helped his defensive partner who also had a great game, but importantly used all of his experience, savvy and muscle to harass and intimidate Balotelli who has historically killed us. We'd be rightly fucked off if the opposition CB treated our main forward like that, but by the end he completely nullified a major threat . Well done and huge reason for our great start this season.

[Sexual Ealing]

You must have access to a special search function on this site Dave, because when I use it I'm presented with dead ferrets, a kick in the testicles and a message saying "hahaha, you fucking dick. Imagine searching for that."

[JJ-AV]

Not saying we should sign these players, but expecting things will be tight for another 12 months: Mingueza, Senesi and Wilson on frees seem logical

Pau and Martinez out seem logical

Try and get Trafford and Nic Jackson in on loan

If we’ve got some money then Bergvall will be a target surely

[LeeB]

I don't see anything logical or likely that Pau gets shunted out.

[brontebilly]

I don't see anything logical or likely that Pau gets shunted out.

Not sure he's still the teachers pet either. No harm maybe.

[PeterWithe]

That was Pavlidis. Brobbey is the one who looked grindingly mediocre when we played Ajax.

Yeah, Ajax, it was him I was thinking about. Although I seem to remember him causing us problems. Maybe it was someone else I was thinking of after all.

[DrGonzo]

I don't see anything logical or likely that Pau gets shunted out.

Seconded. At his best he’s a very good CB with excellent ball playing skills. We will be replacing Ty at the end of the season too can’t see us ripping up the whole back line e.

[GarTomas]

Sell Pau. We could probably get a couple of million for Youri let’s sell him as well…..

We are many times better as a time with Pau at defence, he’s crucial to how we play.  We’d be unable to replace him with without spending more on a younger version.

[OCD]

Senesi's more likely a replacement for Mings isn't he?

[PaulWinch again]

Selling Pau would be an error. He’s integral to us when we play well.

[Ian.]

I don't see anything logical or likely that Pau gets shunted out.

No! We’re so much better when he plays. We just been good cover as he seems a little fragile and needs the rest.

[Dante Lavelli]

Half watching the Wales game, Wilson is quicker than I remember and could be ideal for us.  Therefore we'll sign him on big money and be utter shite.
