Yeah he was decent when we had him on loan. Think he did quite decent with Wigan too but he was there 2 years ago, he was at a Turkish club last season.

Pennant was awful in the year we went down though never understood why Liverpool bought him!

He is so turd. He's going to be the new Vassel him. People will laugh when they hear his name in a year or two. Like they laugh when they hear Vassel's name.

I only laugh at Vassel's name though 'cos his first name's Darius, and that always reminds me of him from pop idol.

Seamless link.

I laugh because Vassel runs funny. Like he's got 4 knee caps. Runs a little like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Hasn't got a Scooby Darius.

Thing with Pennant is that like a lot of players he is seen as a nobody and awful and then when he gets his lucky break and joins a top 4 club he is automatically seen as a quality player for the rest of his career and command massive transfer fees, bit like Crouch and Craig Bellamy!

Crouch is in a different league man! He's an Ingurland international with a great scoring record too. He offers much more to a team than Pennant. Pennants a winger whose crosses can't beat the first man. Ever. Whats a wingers key role in the team? To provide scoring oppotunities. He doesn't do that.

Crouch holds the ball up, tackles, defends corners and scores a beauty bicycle kick goal a season. 1 stunner a season, what more could you ask for!?

We should have a wager type thing, what are they called? Like a deathpool y'know? We all pick a player. Like, Phil Neville and if they end up playing for us you win. But it means we'll have to post on here for years. When does Southy Stander shut?

Sorry lad, Wednesdays half closing.

Like the market? Does this place have exactly the same opening hours as Leeds City Market Gavin?

Aye mayte. Missed the boat for any watch batteries, Phil Nevilles and ribbon today I'm afraid.

Message in idle chitty chit chatty chat for you dude.

Noted. I'll go and have a read of it now. Bet it's about my beef with the AUP isn't it? God I'm gonna kick it's whiney little ass.

Ok maybe I'm being a bit harsh on Crouch!

like it myself

This is just the 3rd kit again though ain't it. The striped Inter Milan looking one is still the 2nd kit

Nope apparently it's the away kit.

In the shop the other week the "inter milan" one was still being sold at 40 quid. Was told we were having it another season!

Yeah that's what I was told last season that it was a '2 year shirt'

Obviously not

Ho ho ho...they saw you coming! Did you buy one?

Olembe is on FIFA. Got him sat infront of my back 4 now. S-o-l-i-d.

Another free signing in Patrick Kisnorbo, dont ever remember seeing him play so i dont know how good or bad he is but he didn't play many games for Leicester last season.
Would rather we got Sodje in but hopefully he will be joining aswell although i haven't heard anything about him lately.

His absence from playing last year was as much about the foxes form and him and pearson not seeing eye to eye.
I personally think it's a good signing at this level especially when championship clubs wanted him.
I can't see us signing sodje now tbh unless we manage to ditch michalik!!
We've stll got a couple of trialists aswell so maybe grayson is waiting to see them in a match situation.
I think we still have a decent squad but much will depend on who else leaves,i'd expect to see kandol,sheehan,prutton and michalik leave at least plus i wouldn't be surprised to see delph and beckford sold.
I hope papa smurf is gonna give grayson money to spend because i can't see us getting promoted on freebies and loans

If we keep Becks and delph there is no reason why we couldn't get promoted this season. The squad is stronger, and the form since Grayson got his feet under the table was easily promotion form.

I would only expect Bates to put his hand in his pocket, when we get promoted to the Championship, then the club goes from being a team fallen on hard time to a club with serious potential.

I don't think spending loads is the way out of this league. I don't think any of the clubs who have gone up over the last 2 years have spent loads, they have achieved it with a god squad, and players wanting to play for the club.

Look at what peterbrough,swansea and leicster spent!!!
They all spent more than we have and i agree we have as good a chance as any IF we keep delph and beckford but lets be serious if they don't go before the august deadline they'll be gone in january which will have a worse impact imo.
I'm not saying spend loads but investment needs to be made imo not least for a reliable keeper,a midfield anchor and a creative midfielder to compete with killa for a place.

Everyone has spent more than we have, I can't remember a fee being piad for a while, but the squad we had last season was good enough, it just wasnt functioning under McAllister.

We now have 3 more players (replacements for poorer players in theory), plus people like Kandol, Prutton and Johnson who I think will have a chance to prove themselves
