My mates dad is manager of a northwest garage chain n was at a meeting at this hotel, he aint one to wind people up and he definately said it was osman and williams! we will find out tomorrow, only tellin you what ive been told!

[roverfanuk]

Don't fancy Larson, Not quick enough for the wing, not clever enough for the attacking midfield role at top level. What would he bring that we haven't got already ? Medved, been a great player in the past but that's a while back now, leave well alone.

Well if Bentley leaves, the obvious answer would be spectacular goals from freekicks?

The guy is the most accurate taker of freekicks in the Premier League! That includes Ronaldo...

You've been told crap I'm afraid.

Ossie is in Switzerland with the Everton squad. Good player, tied to a long contract. Doubt he'll be leaving any time soon.

[tony gale's mic]

I like the idea of Larsson. Player with potential IMO.

[rebelmswar]

A quick google search on Michael Nonni:

- Released from FC Groningen U-19

- 19 or 20 years old I think

- Right winger or striker, depending on formation

- Strength: Speed, weakness: Heading

- Scum supporter

- Looks up to Totti

- Came to FC Groningen at the age of 16

- Canadian

- Twice national champion in Canada

- Crap

- Not Wanted by anyone.

Short of pissing on Jack's statue, could Ince make a worse PR choice than to let Brad go? I can't think of one.....

Oh deary.deary!! That is the best laugh I've had for a long time. Oh yes; and I agree entirely with your post as well.

[Mr Creosote]

I hope the Leon Osman rumour is true. Good player imo.

If nothing else Micheal Nonni would be great for a folk stylee terrace chant.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Eh EiT? Wouldn't they already be at Man U/Inter/Lpool or similar in that case? If not they'd be employed

a. lower in the Prem.

b. abroad.

c. in the Championship

d. in Div 1.

e. stacking shelves in a supermarket.

I just don't buy the implication of your multiple posts that a bloke who spent 15 years playing at the very top and then 15 months managing at the bottom would think that the standards of the bottom are good enough to succeed at the top - it makes no sense. Hence my view that maybe the people he used are not 4th division donkeys.

[Fife Rover]

Brad is Mr Blackburn. You cut him open and his blood is blue & white.

He should be allowed to stay and form part of the coaching team under Steele. Even if Ince feels he needs to bring in another younger keeper to put pressure on him, afterall the quote in my signature is from the big man himself and he would love the challenge.

I absolutely don't want Brad to go either and agree with your post about Brad's feelings for the club. Also I can't understand all the talk about a replacement keeper when the time (sadly) comes; we already have a ready made replacement in Brown. Just hope we can hang on to him until the sad day arrives.

.....singing hey nonny nonny,

hey nonny nonny,

hey nonny nonny no,

....& a roving we will go!

[Fife Rover]

So they have settled on someone? are they talking to his club or just potential suitors at the moment?

I'm guessing he's from abroad?

Or possibly from Milton Keynes?

[AndyC]

Oh deary.deary!! That is the best laugh I've had for a long time. Oh yes; and I agree entirely with your post as well.

quote of the month!

[Fife Rover]

I cannot be moody cos I only have one mood as a rule.

Yes we know that Theno, but then it's not so much a mood; more an aura........of absolute infallibility.

[gazsimm]

If I had to choose I'd take Iccers every day of the week.

what about your posts Tugay4England, they thirll me they really do.

I have an answer to your problems regarding some peoples posts that you don't like, quite simple just don't read them!!!!

[S15]

It's hard prior to reading a post to decipher whether or not you will like it. Like you may not like this one, and I bet you wish you hadn't read it now.

Too late. Now what ya gonna do?

[Commondore]

Larsson is too slow to play on the wing for a team with any offensive amitions. He has working capacity and his right foot going for him, which could make him a good player in a 3-man central midfield. I wouldn't pay more than 2 million £ for him.

What's he gonna do for the rest of the game ? How many did he get for Brum last season, 2-3 ?

Gamst Pedersen is better than Bentley in the free kick category imo.

As for Larrson, i think he a player with potential and could be a tidy addition. Has scored some screamers for big club, the 40 yards strike at Tottenham probably being the pick of the bunch.

[Lathund]

Clever is exactly what he is. Too slow? I don't think he's slower than Bentley, and he did OK on the right. I'd say that they're both quite similar to eachother, with similar strenghts and weaknesses. I also think he'd play very well with Benni, they both seem able to create things in little space. With Ljungberg's and Alexandersson's retirements he should be starting on the right for Sweden as well.

I think he'd be a great signing, but that we're not really looking at it due to the asking price Brum would put on him.

[Hughesy]

Rumours of only £3.5 - 4m for him. At that price he is a bargain.

[RevidgeBlue]

In the reserves?

[MancVillan]

Rumours of only £3.5 - 4m for him. At that price he is a bargain.

Larsson is a very good player, and at that price you can't go far wrong. As a Villa fan, he'd probably be the only player I'd take from them. Very underated player.

[RevidgeBlue]

Can't believe all the hysteria about Brad.

Nicko says there will be several offers for him. If you were another team, wouldn't you want him if at all possible, and wouldn't you think now with a new manager was the best time to test our resolve?

Doesn't necessarily mean that either:

a) He wants to go or

b ) That either Ince or the Club want to sell him.

That said if someone offered silly money at his age, (5m?) surely the club would surely have to at least consider it.
