The more pace we have in the side the better imo. His final ball or finish won't be up to much, but being quick can actually compensate for other short-comings. Good move on the surface of it.

Are you not the guy who disparaged Hoilett and Phil Jones anyway? (If not, I sincerely apologise).

Apology accepted. I used to be wax lyrical about junior when allardyce wouldn't pick him. He was amazing at times for the ressies...

Indeed. He was awesome for us and one of the few brights sparks in Hughes' dismal QPR campaign.

Don't know anything at all about King but I'd be a bit disappointed if his arrival meant Nunes didn't get a look in.

I think he looks extremely promising.

Agree with this.

I like trying out our academy players first as well.

For example, a few people (including me) wanted that left back Van Aarnholt on loan from Chelsea but it turned out we had Henley.

I think he's on loan at the moment but I've heard good things about Osawe.

PS - What a f#####g goal by Mexes tonight.

Judging by Monday nights dismal performance against a poor notlob side at leyland our academy isn't working...too much mediocrity, however the young lad at Center Half is better than Hanley. Oconnell is it? Bowyer needs potting too. Total knob with no idea.

If true, good old Henning! That will bring the fans back. never should have left us. Never forgiven Ince for that.

And ecstatic to see him on the coaching staff. Exactly the sort of leader we need and players can look up to. Nelsen should be next.

Surround the Club with people who care and we will go places!

I respect your opinion sally but I simply don't agree with your classification of Samba. At a push and all things considered IMO he was average +. Yes he had some great days and performances but he is nowhere near that second bracket of players, he is also not as good as King. He was fantastic at heading balls away from certain areas but positionally (when being moved about) he had big flaws. He excelled when we were camped in our own box because he had a good standing jump on him and this was often how we would defend - it suited him well.

Astonishing. You make it sound like Samba was just a big lump who spent the game leaping up heading the ball away, and never had any other real use. I therefore have to question if you really paid any attention to his game. There are certain fans who never seem to watch defenders, and just generally don't get what defending is about. Having spent most of my time playing defence, I keep a sharp eye on them personally. Samba was excellent. He was strong, fast, courageous, great in the tackle, highly consistent, and quite cultured for a centre half. He could also score a fair few. Occasionally his position was suspect (I assume that's what you mean by 'positionally when being moved about'), but no more so than most centre halves. And this was more than compensated for overall by his other attributes and the fact he could dominate space. His main failing was that if he had to fully turn around and accelerate quickly, he could be a little slow to do so (bit understandable when you're six foot five). Once he got a head of steam on him though he was pretty quick. We sorely missed him and still do. To call him 'only average' makes me seriously question if you know anything about defending.

His academy ran into alot of financial problems and i think they closed it down and Friedel was declared bankrupt a couple of years ago.

No idea if he has his coaching badges but i would imagine it would be something he would want to do.

Friedel ?

Has to be a joke. The guy is 40+, past his best and would be a very expensive addition to an astronomical wage bill.

We also happen to have Robbo and goalkeeper is not exactly where we need strengthening.

IMO, this is absolute nonsense.

Night as well give Bryan Douglas the opportunity to come back.

I can only imagine he'd be coming in on a dual role, as back up to Robinson - and maybe Berg's right hand man Mercerman.

Goalkeepers generally don't make great coaches or managers, in fact I cannot think of one who has been successful.

For some to suggest that Friedel should replace Robinson as first-choice goalkeeper is ludicrous.
