  1. i hope we dont get him 32 is past it in a fast paced­ league we need four decent players with pace and skill­ and not wasting our time with players like fortune and­ i hope we dont leave it too late like when jim was in­ charge so other clubs hike up their prices for decent­ players

  2. Surely we can attract better than this, younger blood­ thats what we need. Jermaine Beckford, Aaron McClean­ for example.

  3. He wasn't much good at Man U. Slow, dreadful first­ touch, not much better control with the rest of his­ touches. Ran around like a headless chicken from what I­ saw.
