Bozza tweet - free agent Alou Diarra

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Would upset the PC Brigade but would score goals but apparently TB has said he would never sign him.

PC brigade. Ha ha. I think you might find more than a brigade would be upset.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

That would be the most underwhelming signing since Phil Stant.

True. I preferred Phil Stent. He was all heart.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

PC brigade is such a moronic term.

 

[Driver8]

We didnt have anybody with the attacking influence of Bennett or March last season.

March was here last season. And Lingard who is better than anyone we have up front currently. Andrews is just a negative player.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Its Robbie Keane

Makes sense. After all, it's always been his dream to play for the Albion - the club he supported as a boy.

 

[BensGrandad]

The next step up from a Brigade nearly all of the Army in one area. There would be some in agreement by disregarding his past so it wouldnt be everybody objecting, as I said just the brigade.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Hey here's a thought; rather than our fixation with bringing in ANOTHER new player to lift our ailing side off the backside of the Championship, why not bring in a new manager to make the best of the players we already have?

What about a player manager ?

Yes, I'm sure it would only be the 'PC Brigade' who would be upset about us signing a convicted rapist.

That's for non league and pub teams.

 

[BensGrandad]

You would have to decide what you are signing him for to score goals or be an example to other people. My football head says sign him morally I think not.

Pretty sure you wouldn't be signing him to be an example to others.

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

We desperately need a Keith Andrews type midfielder to get our midfield to gel with each other. An experienced man who can put his foot in and make it count.

You've been reading too much Andy Naylor. The only thing that made Andrews look good last year was the woeful JFC stood next to him.

 

[BensGrandad]

I wonder if any team will bite the bullet and say we need goals and he can provide them so sign him. A poorly attended team so it wouldnt matter if half their crowd objected but then they probably couldnt afford him as it is virtually certain he and his agent will put a high value on him in terms of wages rather than say I will play for peanuts to re-establish myself.

I was thinking of a team like Brentford with home gates of just over 10k he could get them the goals to get them promoted.

He is obviously not the one Bozza is tweeting about. I think the 2 that spring to mind are Keith Andrews and Emile Heskey but my heart says make it Thierry Henry for 6 months.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Perhaps Ched Evans chat can go on the Ched Evans thread... maybe?

 

[topbanana36]

No, thankfully Tony has made it pretty clear Ched Evans will not be joining the Albion.

What about rehabilitation the liberals cry!

That reminds me of a rather delightful summation of the soundbites from the silver whatever...

2: Fabrizio Ravanelli

Rav loved Middlesbrough: 'Middlesbrough gave me so much love - and all I have for these fans is love. They must understand that.' He loved Marseille: 'I don't want to go back to England. I love Marseille: it is my own little paradise.' He loved Middlesbrough again: 'I'd love to go back. I want everyone at Middlesbrough to understand their town is like a dream to me. I have the love of those fans under my skin.' But Derby was The One. 'I love Derby County, I love the city and I love the fans. It's a beautiful place because its people are beautiful. I will put my heart forward for this club - and maybe I will play for free? Money is not important to me...' Now: after a fling with Dundee ('I love the style of football in Scotland... and I love Scotland') Rav's back at Perugia. 'I love Perugia,' he says. 'It's where my heart is.'

It seems that the vocal minority who want to sign him are far from liberal and more interested in his goals - he's never been that prolific, has he?

 

[8ace]

BERK has got a new DVD PLAYER so he can LOOK at the potential SINGINGS in his SPREADSHEET.

Your football head? You want to sign someone who's most recent experience, sporting wise, is running through the showers to avoid getting bummed?

I am talking of his football ability pre 'holiday' if he is near to that standard it would be better than we have but as I said morally not for us. So we move on and look for an acceptable solution to our goal drought.
