Amo Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Otherwise no thank you, if he wasn't local he wouldn't be as well remembered. He could be Burmese for all I care.

92er Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 He really only does that by default since we only have two strikers. He's not PL quality. Good finisher but you need far more than that to be a PL striker nowadays. Derbyshire takes a lot of criticism on this board and it could well be he is not PL quality. However, would anyone say our current 2 strikers are PL quality?
Backroom Tom Posted July 16, 2010 Backroom Posted July 16, 2010 Derbyshire takes a lot of criticism on this board and it could well be he is not PL quality. However, would anyone say our current 2 strikers are PL quality? Yes I would. Roberts is a good lower half prem player and Kalinic has a touch of class about him.
mickbrown Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Yes I would. Roberts is a good lower half prem player and Kalinic has a touch of class about him. Neither of them can find the back of the net.
67splitscreen Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I mentioned Matty the other day, I heard WBA are sniffing in his direction.
92er Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Yes I would. Roberts is a good lower half prem player and Kalinic has a touch of class about him. An interesting reply. I do think that Roberts on occassions can produce, especially when his manager realises he has only one effective way to play. Unfortunately that is all too easily forgotten. He misses so many one on one chances and is generally such a frustrating player I find it very hard to decide his appropriate level. He was a disaster at West Brom-depite loads of chances being created he didn't score 1 PL goal from what I remember. On the other hand he did superbly at Wigan during his best ever season in the PL. Good enough to play in the bottom 3 teams? Is he better than that? Kalinic has still not proven he is PL quality. Maybe this is the season he will prove it. Maybe it's not.
Doaksie Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Yes I would. Roberts is a good lower half prem player and Kalinic has a touch of class about him. Agreed TCO. While I don't see Roberts as a world-beater, he is most certainly a 'Premiership quality' striker. Similarly, while we are yet to see the best of Kalinic I would hardly class him as a less-than Premier League standard forward. Derbyshire wasn't good enough before, not sure what will have changed after another season or so of injuries and sub appearances.
budha Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 West Ham has confirmed both Barrera and Piquoinne (three-year contract). Hardly world beaters but a step forward anyways.
mickbrown Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 West Ham has confirmed both Barrera and Piquoinne (three-year contract). Hardly world beaters but a step forward anyways. Barrera has a lot of potential, Piquionne is a solid non goal scoring striker.....
Doaksie Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Piquionne is a solid non goal scoring striker..... Oxy-MORON?
Amo Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I agree - plenty of decent freebies/ loans out their to be had - rather than giving Piquionne 40-50k a week for 3 years. Thank god the dildo brothers dont own us! Yeah, I mean, what kinda club pays £40-50k p/week to an average PL play- Oh...
Hughesy Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Yeah, I mean, what kinda club pays £40-50k p/week to an average PL play- Oh... Id love you to find a club that pays that man £50k....or even 40k - because we sure dont! As for Matty - NOT premier league standard....4th or 5th choice maybe, but no thanks Neither of them can find the back of the net. At least they can find their way accross a pitch though eh....oh hows Benni Mac?
Amo Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Id love you to find a club that pays that man £50k....or even 40k - because we sure dont! Yet, you can never tell us what he DOES earn.
thenodrog Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 To be fair to G & S they didn't get the club into debt and they have reduced the debt from £100 Million to £90 Million within 6 Months. I think we will probably balance the books by the end of the transfer window, the players we are actively trying to shift are Behrami, Kovac, Gabbidon and Diamanti. Remind me....... who are those 4 again?
RibbleValleyRover Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Good to see TBH going to West Ham, finally ends the speculation every transfer window that we are interested in him.
brian_gallagher85 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Tal Ben-Haim signing for West Ham... All this talk of massive signings and so far apart from the young untried Mexican, they're signing has beens
Doaksie Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 All this talk of massive signings and so far apart from the young untried Mexican, they're signing has beens I've a feeling that Sol Campbell will rock up there in the very near future to continue their exciting youth policy. Gold and Sullivan promise the world. Their transfer policy is all cock and no balls - which I think rather suits them!!
philipl Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 The porn boys have always been good at talking. The real action at WHam is signing a bunch of players who are good for the squad thus far. All depends on how they negotiated the deal with the Icelandic banks- I suspect the banks are stranded with the debt in reality. The question is the extent to which it can still drag WHam down.
Ozz Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 If I read the phrase Dildo Twins or Porno Boys one more time I will smash my fist through the monitor.
thenodrog Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 If I read the phrase Dildo Twins or Porno Boys one more time I will smash my fist through the monitor. Please consider the pair of them ozzie and see if you can come up with any more appropriate alternatives...... I confess I'm struggling.
Ozz Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 G and S would suit me fine. As does Chelsea and not Chelski, and United and not ManUre. I must be getting old.
thenodrog Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 G and S would suit me fine. As does Chelsea and not Chelski, and United and not ManUre. I must be getting old. G and S? S&M might be more appropriate.
Hughesy Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 If I read the phrase Dildo Twins or Porno Boys one more time I will smash my fist through the monitor. Calm down! Must b the weather eh!
AggyBlue Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Calm down! Must b the weather eh! He's on the change
