    [quote user="Tim Dawson"]Agreed, i forgot about Walker, another class right back who offers a lot, surely if Hodgson was planning for the futuure he was a better option than Johnson[/quote]
    I won''t comment on England''s performance as I cba with another forum row with Shyster et al, but as far as I''m aware, Walker was injured which was why he wasn''t called up. If I recall correctly, broken toe or something?

    [quote user="priceyrice"]Supposed to be a quality RB, fallen out with his club and on the radar of Barcelona not to long ago, where has this rumour come from though or is it just a suggestion?[/quote]
    Just had a scout round and found it''s off twitter. no idea on the credibility of the source.

    Norwich City are close to agreeing a deal to sign 23-year old Ghanaian right-back Samuel Inkoom from Dnipro.

    He''s a good shout but will 100% sign with Fenerbahce. Been on loan there for past two seasons and they''re signing him on a cut price deal - Around 1.5 or 2mill because he has told Everton he won''t go anywhere else.

    Joseph Yobo....thats an interesting sugestion.

    DOB 6/9/80---> 32 this September

    6'' 2" tall

    Nigerian International

    Can play RB, CB and even midfield apparently.

    If he is cheap he might do us for a season or two and bring some experience to our defence.

    League app.

    Everton                204+16 apps         8 goals

    Marseille               23 apps                0 goals

    Standard Leige      46 apps               2 goals

    [quote user="kick it off"]I think it''s bull personally, but I''d like to hear what people''s interpretations of "#BitOfATriggerThough" means? The way I interpret that is slightly worrying so I''d like to hear what others think.[/quote]

    You can relax. I believe trigger is a nickname used for Surman by some of the squad - presumably after the only fools and horses character. In the Q&A things he''s always being identified as being a bit of a space cadet.

    [/quote]
    Cheers for clearing that up, I did have a vague inkling that was the case, but obviously the word "trigger" used by Holt about someone else''s contract slightly worried me. Holt really needs to learn to be a bit less ambiguous in his tweeting!! [:D]

    Even if his wages are £63k a week (which I doubt) that would represent an outlay of £13m, which although sounds a lot I imagine the total package Southampton have just spent on Jay Rodriguez is probably equal to, if not more than.

    [/quote]
    The reported wages for Rodriguez are 25k per week - if true that equates to roughly 5.2 million over his 4 year deal so yeah - your maths is pretty spot on.

    [quote user="jas the barclay king"]... what would be the quickest way?should i drive back towards Norwich and join the A140 or is there a quicker route?thanks all![/quote]
    A humourous thread on the Pinkun which is both witty and original? Kudos Jas.
    Infinitely funnier than the same, incessant "XXXX signs!!!" and then a picture of a sign.

    [quote user="Lavanche"]Cant agree more :) He looked quite weak in the game where they unleashed him and I think he will be a flop compared his cost. Dont know what they think in Reading''s board.

    (You by the way probably ment Gordon Schildenfeld who is currently playing in Eintracht Frankfurt which was promoted to Bundesliga previous season. So wouldnt be bad signing as I saw somewhere his cost would be around 1,5mil to 3 mil and his wage should be currently under 15k if not under 10k.

    Another Centre Back who got my attention and could be in our payrange was that polish Damien Perquis whose fighting attitude was top notch. Finnish commentator said his contract is running out 2013 summer and I doubt his salary is over 15k either as Sochaux is bottom half team.)[/quote]
    Can''t say I''ve noticed Schildenfeld, but will watch out for him.
    Being Polish, I have watched Perquis quite a lot, and the guy is just a pure warrior. In the game against Russia, he had a sixpence size hole put in his shin by the stud off someone''s boot, and his hand stamped on (accidentally) and he just got up and got on with it. Oh yeah, did I mention he was playing with a fractured elbow too? In addition to being a real warrior and fighter, he is big, quick and also a very accomplished player. Would be within our price range in terms of fee and wages I would think, and would be a fantastic addition to the squad. Number 1 target for CB if I were manager.

    [quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"]Doubt it will be more - compensation for managers is related to the value of the manager''s contract rather than a ''transfer value'' associated with a player. Lambert was on his one year ''rolling'' contract, so would be worth less than Hughton''s 2 or 3 year deal at Birmingham.[/quote]
    Hughton was on a one year rolling contract....

    [quote user="......and Smith must score."][quote user="kick it off"]You appear to be right after looking further She certainly intends to visit Worcester this summer at least.  

     good luck babe! It''s been a while, hopefully catch up with u in woo this summer!

    ^^^ woo is local slang for Worcester which is what made me think she lived in Worcs.

    [/quote]I think David McNally comes from the Worcester area - he played for Bromsgrove Rovers - so it must be her home city I would guess.[/quote]
    That actually would make sense, as there was something else about "the grove" on her twitter feed and i did wonder if that was Bromsgrove. I didn''t realise McNally was from this neck of the woods!
