[Merged] Football talk

[sherer]

djemba-djemba is more of a holding midfield player.. he will protect the back four and let the likes of Hendrie.. Hitzslesberger go forward without having to worry about whose looking after the back.. he was brought into our side as the potential replacement for Roy Keane.. he was never in the same league as him though but can do a decent enough job..

should get your monies worth worth out of him though..

talking of Forlan always though he was a decent player and i think La Liga suits him very wel.. nice to see him scoring he always put in the effort in training and when we played him nice to see him doing well..

it's interesting that with players lke Forlan, Andy Cole , Defoe, Owen etc fans of their old clubs always like to see them do well as they never had a bad word for the club.. compare that to someone like Bellamy where none of his old clubs care if he scores or plays.. even most of his old teammates don't like him

Fricking hell, our reward for 5th round is a sure defeat at White Hart Lane or the Hawthorns.

Middle of the road, premiership, no chance of a money spinner, no chance of going through.

Sums our luck up.

The rumour on one of the London papers' sites is we've rejected it- and as yet on our OS there's no mention of the bid having been made!

Personally I'd take it, if it's not mainly add-ons that is...

update on a story i posted about this afternoon

Celtic swoop for Bellamy

20:22pm 31st January 2005 Celtic have signed Craig Bellamy on loan from Newcastle United until the end of the season.


The 25-year-old snubbed a £6milli on move to Birmingham City earlier on Monday. The Wales international branded Newcastle boss Graeme Souness a liar in a televised interview last week, and was told he would never play again for the club during the Scot's reign. Now Bellamy will link up with fellow Wales team-mate John Hartson in the Celtic attack.

FAO Spurs fans [if there are any on here]...

Although it doesn't seem like it you've got a bargain.

If Reid shows the form he's shown for us, and Ireland (11 caps 2 goals) if he'd be in the prem he'd be worth 8m by himself. He has excellent control on the ball, great vision, can hit a dead ball, he's not especially pacy but he's hard to get the ball off from a defender's point of view. He's been trying to create everything for us so teams have been putting several players on him, but with other creative players he'll thrive. He played ST for the academy, and can, and has, played CM, LM, or RM. Primarily LM though. Similar kind of player to John Robertson, but not quite the same class, yet.

Dawson- realistically you'll have to wait a while to see his talent. He had glandular fever a couple of years ago, and since then he's had terrible injury problems. Which obviously have affected his form... When he's fully fit he's a great reader of the game, not especially fast so he struggles against pacy forwards, but he's great in the air and an aggressive tackler. He can pass a ball very well [as can most Forest trainees] and has a great eye for goal, he scored a lot in the playoff season pre-glandular fever. He's a bit Ferdinand-esque, obviously not the same level, yet, but comparisons have been made.

You have a great pair of players there.

The POSH were robbed. Another one of those distored goal lines!!

Yip I got it on BBC Scotland, that he had signed until the end of the season.
The celts are looking stronger now.
