Well the person who described him got it wrong because it was 100% Ehiogu. As if they would parade a new signing onto the pitch at the Amex with a tour going on.

Stop bloody moaning!
We're all clutching at straws at the moment because it's been so quiet on the transfer front.
I would LOVE it to be Liam Trotter & our Bozza is a big tease. Finger's crossed.

I don't understand this fascination with trotter? I was on holiday for the Millwall game but have seen him play numerous times before and he hasn't stood out so are the people who constantly rave on about us signing him basing this on that 1 game? He must have been emmense but doesn't mean he's the answer
He was immense in that game, yes, and Gus has previous in targetting players who have impressed against us - see Hoskins, Greer, Kuszczak, for examples.

Yes noone as well but then Kuszczak is a top keeper played in the prem for a number of years,Hoskins scored 20 goals in a relegated team and Greer had a superb season for Swindon just hope that was the real Liam trotter you all saw that day if we do sign him.im not saying he's not the answer and I'm sure if gus is interested he has watched him or had him watched quite a few times but every time I open a thread it's trotter this trotter that and most people have probably only seen him pay once
Ah yes - Noone. I knew there was another good example.
I doubt Noone would have been on our radar at all, if not for one eye-catching display against us at Home Park.
Trotter was ridiculously immense against us, but a quick peruse on one of the two big Millwall forums and you will see that he is woefully inconsistent. If he wasn't, he probably wouldn't be at Millwall, seeing as Ipswich had previously released him.

So have we deciphered what Bozza is on about?
I'd be happy with Crofts though he wouldn't be my first choice of the various midfielders we've been linked with/speculated about.

if there is one thing I feel very comfortable about it's that Poyet has a proven ability to improve many of the players working under him - possibly CMS is the only player who has not progressed.
El-Abd, Barnes, Noone are good examples of players who have significantly developed and generally play with greater consistency
Another example is Buckley, who similar to Trotter, was labelled as inconsistent by Watford fans and according to them, didn't seem to be developing quickly enough to do it most games. I recall a lot of them were quite happy with £1 million for him.
I imagine most of us would rate Buckley far higher now though.
Hard to disagree. In most cases, he has managed to get more consistency from our players than thought possible, and in positions all over the pitch.

Agreed, have no concerns about Poyet bringing in someone that has been inconsistent, he has show repeatedly that he's able to get the best out of a player, see Murray as a prime case.

Also Elliott Bennett.
Buckley is immense, love watching him. Everytime he gets the ball he is on his toes at the defender. The crowd goes up a level every time he has it and you expect things to happen.
That patch he had last season where he was smashing in loads of last minute winners was incredible.
Not particularly related to this thread but had to chip in with that.

Well, some 'wall say he is inconsistent, others say that he is their best player by a distance, worth £2m+ etc etc. I am quite sure we will have watched him more than twice as well. By the same token, there are plenty on here who think Noone, Barnes and CMS are rubbish, those 'wall supporters may be equally clueless, who knows? As for Ipswich, they also let Jordan Rhodes go for 250k....

It wasn't....And for those who are saying he is, Ugo Ehiogu is also not a registered agent. You have to be registered with the FA to be an agent and he's not registered.

I saw him it was definitely ugo, I was one of three people there who didn't recognize him as he looked so young. Only realised it was him when someone posted a pic of him on here.

You say that but Barnes was.....I know he had a spell at eastbourne but as no one was getting rave reviews week after week that season I'm sure he would have done
Anyway I hope your all proved right and we sign trotter and he is as good as he was that cold feb night
