Lets hope he can fid someone as good for the defence now.The lads at the moment in midfield and the defence are getting on in years

I dont think the midfield is too bad. Thompson, Ferguson, Tugay, Reid, , Fitcroft, Emerton and possibly Andresen. Not bad in my books anyway. Defence is main problem. Need a big signing there I think. Short's been a good asset to the club but surely he cant go for much longer. Amoruso is a mystery though. From what I've seen, he should be playing in division 2, but the media love him. He got man of the match on Saturday against Everton.

I know my club will be signing a new central defender this summer so who knows you may get Henchoz back?

Note that Amoruso was carrying an injury earlier in the season and was also used to being in a division where he could drift a lot more without being caught out.

For me we do need a good quick central defender, and a left sided winger. Another striker would be nice too as Yorke is going to go, and I don't think that Jansen will ever be his old self. I'd love em' to get Sutton back from Celtic.

Dont think weve got a chance of getting Sutton back. Hes just signed a new contract. I dont think henchoz will add anything to our defence. Ive never thought he was any good anyway.

Whats the betting Stead is sold by Souness for £12m over the close season?

simon · 27-04-2004, 12:58

Selling your best assets is not good management... Ask ferguson about beckham

Dont think souness is that daft but someone else at the club might be

Tealeaf · 27-04-2004, 15:18

Beckham was only a financial asset....and now he's rapidly depreciated....as a player he was a loss incurring liability...Ferguson should be congratulated on pulling off the biggest sales scam since London Bridge was sold to the Yanks...the yellow-livered spanish don't want him anymore because he's done nowt in Madrid, ..maybe Abromavich will pull a few bob out of his petty cash tin for him..that's it.

I don't think anyone would be likely to splash out on Stead just yet tealeaf

AnthonyS · 27-04-2004, 22:03

What u mean becks aint done nothing in madrid. Hes making them loads of dosh££££! They are even filming him ASLEEP!!!!!!!!

And as for selling best assetts, rovers sold Duff at the end of last season! Look where thats got us. Dont think we'll make the same mistake in two seasons on the trot!

Mik Dickinson · 28-04-2004, 07:00

AnthonyS · 28-04-2004, 07:26

Lol. I've not heard that before.

AnthonyS · 01-05-2004, 16:55

Well. a few weeks ago we struggled playing against the likes of leeds and portsmouth, yet we can BEAT MAN UTD. Well done lads. We ain't going down now. I'm going out now to celebrate a glorious season. Game Over!

Bagpuss · 01-05-2004, 19:05

I will congratulate any team that beats Man U no matter what team Utd put out.

Mik Dickinson · 01-05-2004, 20:19
