Utter @#/? player, nice dance though.

I wouldn't mind the comments if he had any positional sense. Absolutely no problems with selling him off now, it's clearly what he wants.

How long have you been sitting on that one AESF?

Riijkard (sp) came out as saying he was very frustrated with Henry, stating that they had a gentleman's agreement on the terms of the contract and he went back on them.

Rubbish mate. Barca were desperate to sign him, y'know the champions of Europe. He 'failed' in Italy as a winger and no other league is good enough for him. I was never in doubt once the order went out to rough him up in the final. I might have to give him a little clap when he comes to Ewood next year, showing my appreciation of his play/the fact he's staying.

Probably still a better player than Pongolle due to the fact he can control a ball. His moaning won't be missed, but his work rate will. Good luck Paul, just don't score against us!

One of the most honest interviews I've ever seen. Not quite sure which game you were watching, Tris, but once Lehman was dismissed, Henry, was kicked off the park. When we try that (FA cup semi final) we're villans, but when, Barca, try that it's brushed over - double standards. As for his lack of workrate during the last ten minutes, well it's the catch twenty two situation there. He'd led the line admirably all night with little support from his midfield and, in my opinion, was carrying a knock from an earlier challenge in the game (ironically one of the few that weren't cynical attempts to injure him). Now as, Wenger, do you take your best player off the pitch, when we're all fully aware what he can do given the chance, or do you replace him with an inexperienced youngster who will defend from the front for ten minutes? Not a decision I'd like to make. I'd also put money on him staying at, L'Arse, but that's just a hunch

Poor officiating ruins another game, it's beyond a joke now.

You don't happen to work in PR do you

Yeah, either/or - just sign me up for whichever one you like.

Or he'll get dicked on as he's just a raw talent, and not a very productive one at that.

That's the key word. It's a ridiculous gamble, especially when your starting front two probably aren't going to be fit enough. Logic would dictate that Bent, Ashton, Beattie, and Defoe would go ahead of him. If you're going to take the kid, make him the fifth striker so he can soak up the experience and all that jazz, right now we're relying on him to start/make a significant impact from the bench. That's utterly absurd, the kid is 17 and hasn't even played a game of Premiership football yet! You can't expect him to do anything on the biggest stage in the world.

You're joking right? He'd be at the top of my list - quick, strong, good in the air, good with the ball at his feet, knows where the back of the net is, English, young, still developing as a player. The last three factors are the reason nobody has mentioned him as a possible import, he'd cost an absolute bomb. However, finances aside, he'd be up there on everybody's wish list. Silly statement really Tris.

Crouch is utter @#/? at the target man role; he has no strength, athleticism or size (he's a flimsy beanpole!). He can't even jump to win a header for ######'s sake! Beattie is clearly the man for that job, but then again he doesn't play for one of the glitzy clubs does he

Beattie, Bent, Ashton, Defoe, even Harewood would go in place of Walcott in my book. Having said that I'm not smart enough to wrangle a £4-5m a year contract for one of the easiest jobs in the world

Give me an obscure one if there are any - I like a challenge

Messres Beattie and Bent, come on down. It's a blow, but if Gerrard and Lampard perform we can overcome it.

Premier League, you're having a laugh

Ferguson's a tw@t.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. He's going to be a great player.

A smart move from Hughes, he wants to see if the lad can cut it in the Prem after a decent season in the Championship. He's not going to get a better chance than this.

We got £10m for a very average player in Sutton, one who had been a tw@t for a few months at least....

I'm proud to say I've never applauded the bloke whilst he has been wearing a Barcodes shirt.

Go on then

Cue Eddie with the Admiral love
