Do we need a nasty b*****d?

[Diablo]

Nasty,Nice, I don`t really care..what we do need is a twenty + a season goal scorer or maybe two.

This, with bells on...

 

[GoingUp]

Yeah Joey Barton

We need a player with skill though too.

Barton's got skill contrary to belief. Poor mans Beckham/Gerrard. I would love him to sign for us.

 

[goldstone68]

Nobby Stiles? or maybe Chopper Harris?

 

[fat old seagull]

Greer has been known to head butt players.

Dear God....not Caldi I hope !

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Dear God....not Caldi I hope !

Am I the only one to remember Greer's red cards?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yeah Joey Barton

Very over-rated player. I recall someone posted his pass completion rate and he was within the bottom third.

If he wasn't such a bell-end few would talk about him.

 

[glasfryn]

Nobby Stiles? or maybe Chopper Harris?

if you are going to go back that far
NOBBY HORTON

 

[B.W.]

Norman Hunter.

 

[BensGrandad]

Ince is too young and too nice, if he fills out a bit and gains that edge maybe.

His problem is because of ineperience he makes his tackles look so clumsy and obvious so gets pulled up. The man we need is a man with a sly touch that goes unnoticed by refs getting away with murder bit winding up the opposition.

Anyone else think we need a bit of a nasty player in our team? Over vthe last couple of seasons we seem to have missed that hard man type that will get in the faces of the opposition and give us a bit of an edge.

I have loved the Spanish Spanish/flair players that we have had over the last 4 years or so but last season we seemed to be missing a bit of grit and aggression.

Doesn't need to be a dirty player but just someone to wind people up like Charlie Oatway, El-abd and even Ashley Barnes used to do. Sometimes I think we are just a bit too nice.

Anyone agree or is it just the Saturday whisky talking?

Hard - Yes
Committed - Yes
Honest - Yes

Nasty - NO!!!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Every team needs a nasty b****** shirley? Last genuine one we had was Adam El-Abd who once memorably spooked the entire Pompey team in the first half of a Withdean cup-tie to such an extent that he more or less won the game single-handed.

 

[BensGrandad]

Think he could be passed it now and would only be a possible sub. A few years ago yes but not now.

 

[ringmerseagulltoo]

Has Doug Rougvie retired? Could do a job?

 

[northstandsteve]

is Trevor Hockey available still?

 

[BensGrandad]

It was suggested by an Ex Player on the radio last season, think it was Guy Butters, that we need somebody to get in the refs face as we are too nice.

If we are talking oldies the best and slyest with off the ball taps had to be Johnny Giles.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

I still maintain that reason we were relegated from the Championship in 2006 was because Oatway missed the second half of the season.

 

[de la zouch]

I think it's pace we need rather than nastiness. We were so one paced last season and I still don't believe this has been adressed with the signings so far.
