Cliff Morgan was a better player than Barry John, or so most old buggers tell me round these parts........... hard to believe I know, must be something in their piped tobacco..............

Christ after Kone's performance tonight I don't want Cheebs to go anywhere!!!

Well said Avin, I don't see a another midfielder in the prem to touch him for less than the rate of say £30 mill minimum. I don't see any other prem clubs banging at Wigans door for Mcarthy do I? :dont know:

Your probably right there Matt but who can compete with Felli?

He would come to us if we put in an offer of a loan over Sunderland I have been lead to believe, but this only comes from a person who knows Alan Curtis who is on the coaching staff at the club. Seems reliable I would have thought but you never know, this guy has no reason to lie to me though.............

This ones really a goer chaps, it's a straight fight between us and Sunderland, Swans fans are not really happy with Laudrup's attitude during the summer. Anyway there was some heated exchanges between the two and Ki deffo wants out ASAP.

I will ask some Swansea city season ticket holders what is the score between Laudrup and him later on when I'm out on the pop.

Yep, that's the one mogsy!

85-86 season, loved that one.

John Barnes was signed for Watford when Grayham Taylor was walking through a park where a sunday league fixture was being played and saw him control a ball so well he invited Barnes for a trial, the rest they say is history.......................

Hello and a warm welcome!

Tell you what Canary Yellow, look's like you got a good player in the Wolf........ wish we had him. Please keep us informed of how Fer is doing throughout the coming season. Always liked Norwich Football Club...............

Welcome new/oldish member!!

Good half that, I think Coleman needs to find his man with his whipped in crosses, many positive's so far.

Will you be happy with that though? I mean keeping the ball but slower build up play?

Yep true there, but Barry can't cover the ground quick enough when the back four push on up the pitch, being in front of the back four means you have to be the link from Jags to the front man, far enough from the back four to help out on the edge of the box but deep enough to warrant protection to the defenders but he can't keep the required distance from either. Martinez will really try to go for a quicker type of play this season I'm sure of it. Mind you Makalele was slow so that put's the hammer on my arguement............

Hit the nail on the head there Romey.

Yes but Steve if we counter attack at speed we need defensive midfielders to be able to be up just in front of the box not thumb in bum around the halve way line though........ hell we need to make the move up the pitch as a team not in one's and two's waiting to be picked off at will, most coaches say no more than 35 yards between the last midfielder and the furthest forward. With Barry we will leave a gaping hole big enough Jan Molby could walk through..........

No way is this going to happen, why pick a player who can not keep up with play? Thought we were trying to inject more pace into the team in all areas rather than trying to compress? :dont know:

Baines probably over Pat but without doubt I reckon Michael Ball could have been the best of the lot if he had his head screwed on.

Croeso Mike the South Wales branch meet up and go from Newport I think.

Not a bold shout ten, it's a given fact!!!

Hell I'd take European qualification via the tin-pot cup any day!!!!

Lake who played for Man City years ago, broke his leg a few times and never got going, pity coz he could have been one of the best players these Isles have produced. Oh yeah the fella who played for Wednesday who Utd bid £12 mill for in the 90's, Hurst? or was that Kevin Gallen at QPR?

Felli, when he can be bothered, will be your new Roy Keane. I don't expect him to move for less than 28 mill really. My main fear is how can we replace him knowing how much a decent defensive midfielder costs............
