  1. I don't know about you, but if he's our first choice left back come the start of next season, then i'm going to be extremely disappointed.

    1. because i remember the last time we bought a £1m fullback from the championship...

    2. because i don't rate him as even a tenth of the fullback Enrique is

    3. because even though Ferguson may not be the finished article yet, he shows promise and he may not be big, but the lad has aggression and the right sort of instincts. He also has agility, good passing ability and could work well in attack as well. If we're going to sink as low as Neil Taylor, then i'd rather give Ferguson the opportunity if i'm honest.

    You don't need to be big in order to be a good defender. Look at Ashley Cole, he's a little scrap of ****, but size has nothing to do with strength and your ability to defend. Ferguson may be little, but he doesn't look weak, and his performance at left back vs Everton and Stoke was good. He can pass well, and knows when to pass the ball/dribble and when to smash it out in to row Z. That's one thing i like him for. Enrique and Williamson are two extremes. Williamson takes the whole "no nonsense" method to a new level by smacking it out almost every time he gets the ball, and Enrique think's he's Messi and can skin everyone and loses possession in critical areas at times. Ferguson has the right sort of instincts to be a quality left wing back, and knows when to keep the ball, play it out of danger or smack it out.

    Don't get me wrong - I'd rather have a quality left back on our team than Ferguson, and just have Ferguson as cover for now, but Neil Taylor? Come on! We can do better than that. Ferguson has the potential to be much better than that.

    Neil Taylor was the one that got sent off in the first minute in the play offs for Swansea, for all those who don't know much about him.

    What do you think?

    P.S. Don't give me this "Naylor deserves a chance" ****. If he does sign, yes i'll be willing to give him a chance, and eat humble pie if i'm wrong, but you could say that about every player that we could sign. I'd rather aim higher than Naylor, or give Ferguson the chance, that's what i'm saying.

    A few starts may not be enough to convince most people, but he's proven himself more at the top level than Neil Taylor has.

    We should get him on loan with a clause to sign him full time depending on how well/how many games he has next season?

    Pardew has said he will be cover for Enrique's replacement, and dont be so stupid to assume everyone you havent heard of/from the championship is ****. Had you heard of Jose Enrique when we signed him?

    I haven't read the whole article but I only needed to read the first part to say this...

    You claim you don't no much about him yet say he is not good enough to be our first choice left back? How do you no?

  6. Don't just assume that i think he's **** mate, and read the ****ing article.

    I said if he signs, i'd be willing to give him the chance and eat humble pie if i'm wrong, but all i'm say is we should aim higher.

    I'd rather give Ferguson the chance than Neil Taylor.

    And what's all this about Ferguson, (your new Barton it seems)? He's played less than 10 games, and looks shaky in defence, exciting going forward. He's a winger. The fact that you base your opinion of Taylor on the fact he was sent off recently is ridiculous.

    I watched quite a lot of Championship football last year, but never caught any Swansea games. The only time I saw Taylor was when he got sent off after about 30 seconds against Forest in the Playoff Semi-Finals. I do however have some faith in the club and I'm hoping someone is doing their job right and are getting us a good player.

    So you've seen him play?
    You rate anyone who costs £1m the same as Perch?

    Absolutely pathetic, maybe watch the lad a few times before you write him off!

    How many times have you seen Neil Taylor play? Not many would be my guess.

    Swansea fans seem to rate him highly, whereas most Forest fans thought that Perch would be piss in the PL, so I've got higher hopes for Naylor. He's also younger, although I tend to agree on the points you make about giving Fergie a chance.

    Why do you think I dont read them? I dont just guess what your articles say, then hope my reply is relevant. Ferguson is so much better on the wing than in defence and Taylor is only 21 or 22 and would be cover. How much "higher can we aim" for a cover full back?

    I know absolutely nowt about Taylor, but from what I've seen of Ferguson he's nowhere near ready for regular first team action, and he's no full back by the way.

  15. Read the ****ing article you stupid ****!!

    For ****s sake!!! I never said that that i rate him as **** just because he's only a £1m player.

    I've seen him play quite a few times for Swansea, and he hasn't impressed me at all.

  16. Well as i said. I'd be disappointed with him as our first choice as i don't rate him, and as for cover, i think Ferguson shows alot of promise, and he should be cover for LB. Ferguson could be cover for both LW and LB.

    Tash this is all you've said about Taylor, and it's quite clear you have never watched him play.

    You've seen him quite a few times? I bet you probably haven't watched him more than 5 times and you're ready to make a judgement on him!? If he does start for us...3 games in we'll get an article saying "OMFGZ NEIL TAYLOR IS SO GOOD...JIZZ JIZZ" or after 1 bad game we'll get an article calling him a "fat ****"
