Had to laugh at what was further down the page:
SAGA CRUISES FOR THE OVER 50'S


Is that how this trio are going to get to LR on a matchday?

experience will help the likes of mackie, taarabt, hewitt etc.. we will need experience to get us out of a dog fight we're likely to be in.

[QPR_NW10]

we've got Derry for experience...might not be PL experience but...Kewell?! really?!?!
(i'd take bullard though)

[swanleyhoop]

But it needs to be experience which is fit enough to be on the pitch every week. No use having crocks in the 25.

Helguson, Hulse, Cerny, Kenny -- all Prem experience.

id skip on aussies kewell and neill. but if i was to sign 1 of the two it would be neil.

also those players played 1 season in prem. hardly vets?

What's wrong with Kewell, he's 32? (Neil is 34).
Is he a prima donna? Not NW type?

Kewell is still netting for Australia and had a good scoring record at Gala.

According to Wiki, he's on 30K EUR per game!

Aside from the fact he is a similar type of player to Smith and Mackie, surely he is worth a look?

And he's a bit of showbiz with a WAG...possibly might appeal to Flavio.

[swanleyhoop]

Australian football is hardly a yardstick of whether he'd still cope in the Prem -- Nick Ward was the hottest thing in Oz, but not even up to Championship standard.
It's a long time since Kewell played in the prem.

And Bullard -- great if fit, but he could become our next Cook/Rowlands/Buzz/Hall. With us being limited to 25, we can't afford to have players whose injury record suggests strongly that they might only play a quarter of the season.

I prefer Brazilians

I prefer Brazilians

I remember when a hopelessly overweight and ageing Socrates trolled up at Garforth Town and had to be carried onto the pitch with a hot-water bottle tucked up his jersey. Took one free kick and said "Thanks very much and goodnight."

I take it he's out of contract?

So do I, so much tidier on a lady...

Now Pete, Pete, Pete: the other day you mention Jo out of the blue, now you are mentioning Brazilians. Are you serious?

From the Hammersmith & Fulham Chronicle:


HARRY Kewell has ruled out a return to England with QPR.

The former Liverpool winger is out of contract at Galatasary and has been linked with a move to Loftus Road.

However, the 32-year-old Aussie has told pals he wants to play his football abroad rather than in the Premier League.

Thank F. Complete waster even by the standards of professional footballers. Mate of mine did some filming with him during his Leeds day. Was blowing 60 grand a week on the gee gees and didnt seem to give a monkeys about staying fit etc - and that was back when he was good.
