    Dai, I've taken a closer look at him since I posted and now I'm not so sure to be honest. I've found out that he is very injury prone and missed a lot of games. Not only that, he has got a big "I am" problem and has a highly inflated opinion of his own ability. That wouldn't sit well in our dressing room.

    I took a look at lots and lots of comments in the local papers in the Midlands and the fans were absolutely scathing about him saying they wanted to get rid at any price. One of them put O'Hara on Ebay and promised the winning bidder that he would throw Roger Johnson in as a freebie. The winning bid was about £159,000 and the guy who auctioned him promised free delivery as he would drive him anywhere himself. :biggrin:

    Pity about all this because he was schooled out of the Arsenal Academy before going to Spurs where he was considered a hot prospect. Wolves paid £5 million a few seasons back, so the guy can play - when he's fit. Unfortunately, he hasn't realised his potential and the last thing we want is a player who might disrupt the dressing room with ego problems. I think, perhaps, we would do better to look elsewhere. Pity because the guy does have ability.

    Ps: Glad to see you enjoyed your holiday.

    I don't think Ben qualifies as he is still under age. We need a minimum of 8 domestics over 21. So at this point, subtract Ben from the list and add Jazz, Bartley, Lita, Cornell, Obeng, Donnelly. I am not sure of the cut-off date. Donnelly is 21 but with a 1992 birthdate. Cornell, Jazz and Bartley are 21 with birth dates in 1991. Automatically include Britton, Williams, Dyer, Taylor, Routledge and Moore then the other 2 slots would be taken by Monk and Tate (ouch). It will be interesting to see where Jazz, Bartley and Cornell sit with respect to the cut-off date, and who would be included in lieu of Monk and Tate if they qualify as over 21. I am presuming Lita is going somewhere else.

    Does anybody know the cut-off date for this season.

    thats fair ivor i just dont know much about his history, If a player has a history of getting injured then its not worth taking any chances in the premiership with him.....we cant afford to employ players like that...
