We're a PL team now BT, so naturally I'm talking about PL standard players. When you look at some of the players at this level, quite a lot of them actually, I think it's fair to say he's mediocre, in fact that might be being kind to him. Let's face it, even Sean wouldn't claim we're anything other than a mediocre PL team at best, and Scotty can't get into our first choice starting eleven, and there's a good reason for that.

I'm not knocking him BT, I like him, he's done more for us than we could ever have expected, I'm just being realistic. Giving a player a contract extension because he scores a goal at Anfield is what basket-case clubs do, as we can agree, with Garlick and Dyche running the club, we're no basket-case.

I was suggesting being a little more Machiavellian than you think sinkov. Come May he walks for nothing, boost him with a three year contract and watch the daft beggars in the Championship come storming in with cheque books open! :D

I hold my hand up BT, one step ahead of me. You might not be a Tory, but you think like one.;D

You don't think I got to be where I am today by thinking like a bloody socialist do you sinkov? ;D

When we signed him my reaction was the same as when we signed Tom- who are these guys ?- but Sean saw something in them that fitted his ethics and mantra- both are Premier League Internationals- we cant knock Scotty, he may not be Fabregas but I know which one I would have any day in our team

Fabregas for me! :D

Cork, Defour and Fabregas in a midfield three? Dreams are made of this!

Dream on BT

I know it is only a dream, but it is possible to dream about such quality players now. It doesn't seem that long ago I was thrilled that we'd signed Brian Stock.

Ha- well Stock was a fill in player we needed at that time- no frills but gave everything ,I admired his commitment

He was s h i t e though!
