The new James Bond Movie title.....from the ever happy Dr...

It wold not have been a James Bond Movie title, it would have been reality if the tongue poking ****** got back into power.

Had too many cloggers for too long, watching Taarabt last season was a joy at times.

"at times" suggests at times, he was not.

That's not true, I do like flair players who also put in a shift in, its the ones that think they dont need to track back after THEY lost the ball I dont like.

Exactly. Afterall isn't football a team game.. not a stepover competition with no end product.

I'd rather a team of workers who play for the shirt than a team of big time charlies who play for themselves! Adels sulking last season is something I hope I never see a rangers player do again.

id love orr to come to the bush.
and im seriously and honestly not unhappy with any of the new signings or any of the ones it looks like are coming in.
i can see a nice structured team of professionals who all know whats required of them.
now get us beattie, phillips, hooper or hughes and ill be the happiest ive been in decades.

Beattie, Phillips or Hooper??

Do u honestly think we will ever sign that calibure of player?
Seriously?

[G.T.P]

yep. i seriously seriously do.
i am certain in my mind (no proof, or any sort of itk) that we will sign a 2 to 4 million pound striker.
so certain it makes the hair on my arms stand on end.

Aaron Lennon, Theo Walcott, Hogan, Two Ball and a host of other payersdo the same street style flashy football and 20-30% of the time look brilliant, trouble is 70-80% of the time they are as effective of a paper bag, holding water.

I think the days of the lighting quick show ponies out wide are numbered and will be replaced by proper wing players or wing backs like Cole and Johnston, who do a better job (ie get the ball into the danger area) and offer more to the team.

I have highlighted 2 words which makes your statement invalid

[paulmason]

Fair comment but 20% of the time he is brilliant the way he receives the ball, turns, plays one-two's an dribbles, its just 80% of the time he cant get past players, cross the ball or shoot.

Anyone ever remember how good and optimistic they felt when we broke our transfer records to sign Sheron and Spencer.Made the Thames tv reports as well at the time.Ok may not of turned out the best players but i loved the buzz at the time.Will we ever get the same buzz,Thames coverage again for signing a player?

I mentioned this before Mate, even when we got Routledge, albeit on the cheap, he was proven quality.

We paid more (ahem) last season when we got Faurlin and there was no buzz.

I can still see the yellow breaking news banner going round with QPR and £3.5M on it with the presenters mocking it.

[Gtleighsr3]

Yeah but sky have tickers 10 a penny.You know what im getting at Paul.That was very big money for us back then,will we ever see the equivalent present day spent on a player.Something to make local terestial tv take notice?
