I agree, Bellamy can play as a lone striker pariculary away from home where we may have to counter attack. The reason we were reluctant to play Cisse as a lone forward had nothing to do with his height and more to do with making the ball stick(first touch) and his work rate. I'd be perfectly comfortable with any one of Fowler/Crouch/Bellamy playing up on their own under varied circumstances.

Disagree,yes he's fast and energetic but he isn't that skilful.I think that Kerea(sp) Gilbert is a better prospect at right back and in the longterm will prove to be a real find, although they have loaned him out to Cardiff.

Rafa seems to love signing them first Bellamy and possibly Pennant. Any players who supported us who we should look at? I can think of Nolan who would be good but not a priority. James Collins but he's s***. John O'Shea he's decent but will never happen Walcott Any decent suggestions?

Thought he was excellent at leeds during his loan spell.

I'd take £4mil for him but i think we need to secure Reina on a longer contract first, think he only signed a 3yr deal. I'd be a little worried if Barca came calling and offered him a return to the Nou Camp.

I definately don't think this is the end ,even if we sign Pennant.

Sign more players who's names i can't spell. Imagine the mayhem if that Greek bloke signed.

That's how he plays on the left, when on the right he plays a lot more like a winger.

Iv'e decided Pizzaro is the answer to our striking conundrum, just like that no need to mess around go get him Rafa.

never know , think he'll only have twelve months on his contract by then.

He's also not that great, he bombs forward a lot without actually producing a lot andhis defending is average. Good set of lungs can run up and down but not a lot more imo.

Ramos is class ,every defender has looked a little shakey at real in recent years 'cause it's just the two center backs vs the opposition. However i do feel he is a better right back than center back and was Spain's best player in the WC. Would hate to win a title that way, would seem so hollow.

But that surely has something to do with the great support and not just the stadium. As long as our new stadium is unique and not some souless bowl off a conveyer belt then is should be fine.The Olympiakos stadium was pretty impressive,something like that would be good. Think Arsenals new stadium is pretty decent,reminds me a bit of Porto's. It's a great design for atmosphere although it kills the pitch

I think he'll stay.

Agreed although i think the home one looks best, personally i like the collars.

I'd take any one of Maakay,Pizzaro, or Santa Cruz from Bayern each of them are very good players and could offer us a lot.

Maybe we did bid for him,maybe we didn't. Maybe he turned us down,maybe he didn't. Maybe he's as a good a left winger as there is,maybe he's not. What we know for sure is he's signed for Newcastle so all those maybes really don't matter, time to move on. ...Until next summers Duff thread.

He really wasn't think there was a rose tinted view at the time because he was a fairly expensive signing . Getting picked for one game which Gerrard didn't play doesn't mean he kept him out of the side, and Sami got dropped for Igor once didn't mean he was a good centre back though.

Has anyone managed to list the left wingers that are better than Duff? He is easily one of the best around at the moment.

It will be great to have a hard b*****d Argie defender type and Paletta has a great reputation as a fine youth prospect. One word of caution I believe Josemi put in some equally fierce and impressive tackles in his first pre season particularly against Roma(i think).

Duff got hold of ya number and asked you to name five left wingers better than him?

name many better, i certainly think he's better than Robben. Vicente is class but has hardly played for a year or more. but he didn't like London he was never going to move abroad.

Yeah, heard he stood next to Guivarch and Karembeu when they had their parade.

So does Diomede.
