I dont want to lose any of them. They are all fans favourites but Sven doenst want them. And as things stand Hobbs is a Leicester player and unless Man City and Benfica sell Mee and Vitor, Hobbs may still have a future here.

With your left backs Dawson is crap and Dungeon is young so he someone like Berner as back up will only help him.

To be fair Andy Dawson has played 500 games at LB. I'm sure Dungeon will be able to learn as much from Dawson, if not more than he would from Bruno Berner.
 
I'd take Lloyd Dyer in a flash. He'd be a cheap option to have on the left wing and we haven't got a single left-footed winger at the moment.

As for the defence I'm becoming less and less bothered about Gerrard, weird since he was our POTY but still, I'd be fine with the other 3 and then Cooper for cover.

Weale is a good championship keeper and last season under Nigel he was brilliant for us and will do a decent job for anyone in this league
There is 2 wings on the pitch so why wouldnt you want both Dyer and Steward. Nigel knows Dyer really well having worked with him at West Brom and here
And Howard is old but so what. He isnt any slower then he was 10 years ago. Still slow as a donkey then as he is now. And will do more then a job in this league. Ask Cardiff fans

It's not about how slow Howard is. How many times has he played a full game in the last two season?

Dawson isn't crap, he's hacked it in the Premiership for two season. How many games has Berner played in the Prem?

Like I say we have a number of targets and to be hosest out of Chester (who is ours), Gerrard, Ayala and Hobbs, Hobbs is bottom of the pile.
 
2,000 posts - Yay! <diva> <badger> :emoticon-0169-dance <bubbly>

Anyway, I agree. I think they're similar players and we really need a target man. With Waghorn being more of a 5ft tall Neanderthal-esque creature, he doesn't really fit the bill.

Ho-****in'-rah, just like ****in' Hoadie-Boi!!!!! You want a frigin prize?

Well, ****in' congrats. you ****, and here's your ****in' pressie

Joe Dudgeon is 21 this year, he looks nailed on for Man United reserve team player of the year and I think he'll be first choice left back next season, with Dawson as cover(and Chester if required), we won't sign another left back.

We have a tradition of not buying any left backs at all, I believe Winston Churchill was in power when we signed the last one........

I think you will find it was Pitt the Elder, OLM!!!!
 
To be fair (and this is based solely on Twitter) Gerrard was good friends with Bullard and Ashbee and probably made his mind up that he wasn't going to stay in January.

Based on his twitter he was great frineds with guzan who loved his time here. Based on his twitter, he's enjoyed his time here. If we are basing this on twitter your post is make belief as Bullard doesn't have twitter and ashbee hasn't posted anything for a while now. So my question to you is, why with the bullshit fairytales?

Calm down love, I was just saying, reading Gerrard and Ashbee's comments earlier in the season I got the impression they were good friends and that Gerrard was in that group as it were. There were a lot of "Me, Ant and Bully" posts on Ash's twitter. Just the impression I got, I could be well off, but I've always got the feeling from Gerrard, on Twitter and in the traditional media, that he wasn't interested in staying after his loan spell was up.

Ah well if you said "i had the impression...." from the start I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it. The way you word your comments sounds as though you base them on facts so I felt compelled to prove you wrong

I did say "This is based solely on his Twitter"...

Nevertheless, I accept your apology.

Mine was also based on twitter you blithering imbecile. The difference is, mines correct and yours is another poor attempt at a wum.

P.S. I'm sorry if my last did sound like an apology. By no means did I mean to make it sound like one :)

I never said yours wasn't... There was no attempt at a "wum" from me, I'd quite like Gerrard to stay, I just get the impression he doesn't want to.
 
TWF you really need a new identity. You can't say anything at the moment without being a twat, **** or Leeds fan.
 
I personally really hope we do a deal for Hobbs (albeit with the caveat of a decent price). I like him and think, alongside a good partner who perhaps is better with the ball and more technically gifted (Ayala for instance), he could be a very worthwhile addition to the defence.
 
There's no need for language like that, in future can you please use the more acceptable L**ds?

I wondered how long before someone made a joke about this.

Maybe we should get onto Maltese Mick about including L**ds in the swearing filter?
 
i think general opinion is out of the three loan centre backs Hobbs will be third choice to Gerrard and Ayala. However Pearson sounds as if he really wants to sign him, for me i would make Ayala top priority and either partner him with Chester or a new player as i don't expect Gerrard to sign.
Not sure who though.
Wonder if this guy may be worth a go since sheff u have gone down http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10418~50942,00.html
Matthew Lowton 21 year old centre back scored 4 goals in his debut season for sheff u

Good call on Lowton....a very good player by all accounts. The blunts here in sheffield are desperate to hold onto him.
 
I hope we dont sign 2 or more of those names OLM, Id like to see Chester at CB next season with either Ayala, Hobbs or Gerrard next to him.

we always will need a backup but you can bet that if we sign 2 new CB's Chester will be on the bench... such a shame really as he's probably a better player than most of them.

You're absolutely right, I play CB too and Chester is the most accomplished. Gerrard is a natural leader and scores goals but Chester isn't as good an asset in any other position. NP has to pair him with Ayala or Hobbs or Gerrard.

Chester would be one of the first names on my teamsheet alongside Mannone, Rosenior, Stewart & Fryatt.
