Bad news for BZ but can't help feeling slightly better that he won't be playing competitively for Spurs for a little while longer -
Good luck to him but I wish he had gone to another club...
IF any of this is true and we managed to get Armstrong and Kanchelskis - it would be a pretty bloody good squad!
Roberts
Watson
Mayo
Cullip
Pethick
Rodger
Carpenter
Hart
Kanchelskis
Knight
Armstrong
subs: Kuipers, Piercy, Hinshelwood, Jones, Mcphee/Beach Boy
NICE
Hopefully we'd get him for free but if he does well with us, I can see another Sidwell happening. Div 1 side comes in for him and he decides to go there instead. Hopefully I'll be wrong
The Chelsea fans I've spoken to reckon he's bloody good.
'Quick and powerful - top striker' is what they said to me.
Him and Swiss Tony up front will do nicely.
Or to the tune of the OGH song 'That old slapper Posh Spice......'
We used to have a legend
His name was Bobby Zee
But now he's gone to Tottenham
And we've got Chris Mcphee
Oh Chris Mcphee.......
Good lad and all but, personally, can't see him making the international breakthrough.........
From Argus -
Jones in frame for Wales
Nathan Jones could be set to break into the Wales squad this season.
The Albion midfielder is part of Mark Hughes' plans as the former Manchester United...
Thought he looked quality last night - considering it was his first senior game for 2 years. Would definitely score goals in Div 2 as long as he stayed fit. Looks like he's quite keen to sign as well.
Bit of a worry about Piercy though - looked like he could hardly run last night.

I thought Gaetano looked sharp. His movement was good, first touch excellent and he always did something positive when he got the ball. Very rarely gave it away.
Roberts also looked good - didn't have much to do, flapped a bit at one cross but, other than that, his general craft and...
Agreed dunkstar.
I reckon it will definitely be Roberts. Coppell is unsure about Kuipers' kicking and he has looked pretty shaky in the two warm-up games so far as well. If Roberts performs in the friendlies like he did for us last year, he will undoubtedly be Number 1 at the beginning of the...
..... we will definitely have the best reserve keeper in the division!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
From the Argus today:
Rivals told to fight for place
Michel Kuipers and Ben Roberts will go head to head to earn the No. 1 spot for Albion's season opener at Oldham on August 9.
