    Would encourage us to play on the ground rather than hoofing it up. Players like Ben Arfa, Jonas, possibly Menez if the rumours are true would be brilliant for him.

    I dunno, I reckon I'm still a fan of the 2 up front approach.

    This. <ok>

    Technical football = 50k(plus) enjoying quality football on the deck.. this would be a brilliant ''technical line-up'' :

    Barton Tiote
    Guti Arfa Menez/N'Zogbia
    Gamiero

    All of them are very good footballers with skill, pace and creativity.

    NOLAN!!!

    Would prefer:

    -----------Tiote-----------
    -----Nolan-----Barton-----
    HBA------------------Guti/Menez (N'zog is rubbish and arrogant, not what we need)
    ------Gameiro/Sow-------

    I like Ba but he is pretty injury prone. He has a dodgy knee cos i think Stoke were going to sign him a few years back and then after the medical, the medical team said it would be too great a risk to buy him. Might have sorted it out by now though...

    **** NOLAN! He's **** in terms of technical ability. He's a excellent finisher, a great captain & brings grit, strength & determination to our midfield but to be honest we can do much better. Just never been a BIG fan of Nolan. His style of play has limitations(defensive play, passing ability, dribbling ability, pace, etc.). <ok>

    I'll have him next season as a impact sub/roation player though. Give the armband to Barton!

    Why does no-one recognise Kranjcar he'd be a great signing for us!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. A lone striker HAS to be able to hold the ball up!

    Its all fine and dandy having Gameiro up front when we are dominating the game but when were under pressure sometimes we'll have to boot it, and if the striker cant hold up the ball we'll never get out of our own half.
