Steven Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 The 30-year-old central defender looks to be on his way out at West Bromwich Albion after Forest boss Gary Megson tabled a ₤200,000 bid for his former player.Foxes manager Craig Levein, having let Martin Keown leave the Walkers Stadium yesterday may match the bid for the inspirational former Portsmouth man. Credible or utter gonads. <_<

Credible or utter gonads. <_< 60054[/snapback] Fans favourite at Albion, but the wrong side of 30. Definately solid as a rock though and we could do worse than get Moore. I'd rather see us wait and pick up someone like Diamond from Aberdeen in the summer when we know what our transfer budget will be. Diamond would cost us £500,000 - £1,000,000 but in the long run he'd be in our team for several years where as Moore won't be.
Mark Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 Paying that much for a 30 year old who can't get in WEST BROM's team doesn't sound right to me.
Fox in a Box Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 Good player. With a strong heart....only 2 years in him thou
davieG Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 Good player.With a strong heart....only 2 years in him thou 60092[/snapback] Maybe CL thinks that 2 years will give time for Stearman to develop into our first choice centre back and that DM is someone who can help him do that.

I would just hope there might be a 26 y.o. who could do a similar job and last a bit longer for us.
Ric Flair Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 Personally we don't need a short term fix defender. Levein should build his defence around Stearman, he really should. Dublin, Dabizas and Heath aren't good enough to clean his boots let alone play alongside him. Levein needs to sign 3 new central defenders, but I wouldn't rush in to anything. Stearman has got to be his main man he really has. It's the only way we'll ever succeed, we must play our promising youngsters. Stearman for England... Under 21's will do.

I have no doubt in his technical ability, better than most of our squads, but just too skinny for CB in my opinion at the mo. Going to be brilliant though.

Well get him in.
Ash Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 I think we should introduce Stearman into the first team properly next season

Scow Posted 28 January 2005 Posted 28 January 2005 Excellent in this division, but I agree with Trev on this one. There is no credible link to the story.
