I think we need a bit of muscle in the centre midfield. Thomson gets about but his frame is of average height. If we could get a powerhouse like Albertz was to boss the midfield about then it would set us on our way. Lee McCulloch's physical strength has been good in certain games, but a more consistant player in the centre would be good. But we still need a skillful player in there aswell.

Pete, there was no need for the first post - you put everything in the title of the thread But I couldnt much about the player, ive never seen him play or that i can remember.

First huge match of the tournament tonight that il be watching. Havent seen any of the open games so far bar a wee bit of Austria v Croatia last night. Looking forward to it tonight though! C'mon the Dutch!

LOL, Juff do you just sit and watch goals all day??

Me winning 4 awards is not over and done with!!! :uzi:

Cracking post actually!! Its probably the most pointless and boring thing!!

Good to see. BTW where has the Gersnet awards gone??? Ive got 4 awards to report for

He's just a wee poser. He had a bit of potential but hasnt shown it much. He should have done the easy thing and looked at the master infront of him - Ryan Giggs and got his head down.

Total mistake letting him go, I think 99% of the fans would have wanted him to stay on. Some feared for an injury meaning the club would miss out on the fee but screw that. If Hutton had stayed and McGregor not got injured Im convinced we'd be celebrating at least the treble.

And that was the day after i told you, but I said to use your other foot - fair play to you Juff for switching

Where have you been then? Thats been on here a good few times. I never tire of watching it though, certainly would be in my top 5 favourite goals of all time, you dont get much better than that.

Im gonna stick with my impressive team for the first round: Alexandre Ricardo Rudi Skacel Ricardo Carvalho Carles Puyol Johan Djourou Freddie Ljungberg Michael Ballack Cristiano Ronaldo Thierry Henry Adrian Mutu Jan Koller

This could get interesting! Sir Awex has made his way over to Austria to see him. I wonder if he will make him sit in the stands

Cheers for that! Do you know how tempted I was to delete your post!!! It would be interesting to see who wins if we all kept the same team. I cant see me going on every day to make 3 changes

Ok, so who will qualify from this group?: France Holland Italy Romania Im going to stick my neck out and say Holland and Romania

Im looking forward to it bar the shity kick off times for me. But there are some cracking group games for once no more so than Italy, France and Holland. Im just about to have a look at the odds and decide my bet. Im tempted with Russia each way at 28/1.

Agreed, he was better on the left for me aswell. He seemed to play n the right more for Denmark. But his role was simply to play where he wanted, right left or middle. Even when he started making his runs from the centre circle he would still be awesome.

I totally agree with the first paragraph and agree with the last also that Id rather the 2 million went on a better player even if it meant spending 5 million on that player who break down a defence. But as for his ability I still dont think its the worst signing. WS got the best out of him for Scotland and is likely to do the same here. He isnt a world beater and I can think of far more players which would be better but I can think of a lot worse aswell. He will certainly get the benefit of the doubt from me until I see him play a good few games. I just hope he doesnt get booed.

Cannavaro out of the whole tournament and I put had him in my team

And it looks like the Thai bloke is a bit like Mad Vlad by choosing the signings. Ok every manager would want Ronaldinho when he is on fire but the Thai bloke wants to sign JO aswell. http://msnsport.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_3652448,00.html

I think you have got pretty much every player spot on Frankie, there wasnt really one I could argue against. Maybe Adam could be in the same boat as Burke but thats about it. We certainly do need better options in midfield and upfront. And next season will be a big one for Barry Ferguson. Im pretty sure one of Kris Boyds MOTM would have been against Aberdeen for the 3-0 win at ibrox. BTW no report on Faye??

I'll second that!

Im quite surprised that Hughes has went there as he may have went to Old Trafford after Sir Awex - he may still yet!! He obviously didnt want to touch Newcastle but seems Man City as a different prospect. It will be interesting to see how he does and if he does well, will Man Utd want him in 3 years!

He didnt deserve to be sacked - Im not questioning that, but discussing secret terms while still under Man Citys employment regardless of his situation is still dishonest IMO, id have waited until I was offcially sacked, but maybe im too honest. To think he has received about 8 million in payoffs alone in the last 2 years is unbelieveable, plus huge wages on top of that! AND he was still being paid by England while he was out of work in 2006.

Obviously he has been clever about this one aswell. He has obviously has pre-contract talk with Mexico before he was officially sacked, therefore he waited until he was sacked to receive the pay off from Man City as if he took the Mexico job a few days ago he wouldnt have got a penny. Rich, clever and greedy cunt
