Lord Nibblington Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 It worked for Ebenezer. But he was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future. If that happened to Thracian, he just run off with the Future, and set up shack marvelling over all the high quality youth products to come through.

I think that's being kind. I reckon he'd probably spend four days arguing over why Max Gradel was included in the future rather than the present.
Thracian Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 S'what Mandaric did with Pompey. They went up. They've stayed up. I admit I'm not too excited, either, but writing us off before the season begins is just ludicrous. I haven't written anyone off. The sort of managers we're producing these days they'll probably all take the same "tried and trusted" tack and someone's got to be successful. Besides this is nothing to do with Martin Allen - at least not yet. It's another unsubstantiated rumour from a hardlly convincing source. I suppose if we get linked to everyone someone will be right. But I can't see why there should be anything praiseworthy about quoting MM's approach with Portsmouth. It's like a Magician showing his audience the same trick twice - and it won't go down so well the second time if that's what happens. Fat lot of good it did for Mickey Adams.

Manchester United have been good for a while. They continue to be good. Everyone knows they will be good. Just because people are like 'oh they will be good' it doesn't mean they've been found out. Guess what? Chelsea will be good next year! I've worked them out. They will have good players and stuff. See how I've outwitted them? Now what do I win?

You'll go hunting for Paddington Bear in Claudios home country of Peru. Or you can gambel and attempt to outwit Arsenal for our star prize.
Lord Nibblington Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 In many ways, your talents are being wasted James. Just think what you could be doing with those kind of predictive powers!

To be fair ti worked well for Adams first time round - Deane, Dickov, Ferdinand, Freund. It was only when we ran out of money to offer wages to quality older players and started signing the likes of Steve Howey that it all went wrong
HankMarvin Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Leicester City manager Martin Allen has told Skysports.com he will remain tight-lipped over rumours suggesting there is a deal in place to sign former Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair. The 34-year-old is on the lookout for a new club after departing Eastlands at the end of last season, but the new Foxes boss insists the club are scouring far and wide for potential signings with a number of players potentially in the frame. Having already landed Carl Cort from Wolves, The Foxes have also been at the centre of speculation surrounding Sinclair, Southampton striker Leon Best and Allen's former Milton Keynes Dons front man Izale McLeod. "It would be impolite of me to show my cards, but of course there are a number of players we have been linked with and there are a number of ongoing discussions," Allen said. City chairman Milan Mandaric is thought to have opened up a number of overseas transfer avenues for his new manager, and Allen is keen to explore those options. "We want to give fans the thirst for the new season, and that comes when they can see an exciting team being assembled, whether those players are from the Premiership, lower down the football ladder, or abroad," he added. "We are looking everywhere and there is a lot more searching to do."

"We are looking everywhere and there is a lot more searching to do." Sounds more like he's having a party with jelly, ice cream and musical chairs. I think he's halfway through a great game of sardines
J.Lisemore Posted 15 June 2007 Posted 15 June 2007 Leicester want to sign midfielder Trevor Sinclair on a free transfer following his release from Manchester City. (Daily Star) i dont think he will be bad to boost our midfield ...and its not like hes really old ...34 isnt that bad really and on the plus side he was former england international dont forget

Stevosevic Posted 16 June 2007 Posted 16 June 2007 the lads known for posting bullsh*t so i wouldn't believe any of it I dont, just been reading around and he doesn't seem too reliable, i noticed what a crap forum talkingballs is as well.
city1993 Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Sounds like a done deal on sky sports today !! I think he's better than newton, but surely there's better right wingers out there than trevor sinclair no ??
Stevosevic Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Sounds like a done deal on sky sports today !! I think he's better than newton, but surely there's better right wingers out there than trevor sinclair no ?? where? what? huh? since when?
majestic fox Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Sounds like a done deal on sky sports today !! I think he's better than newton, but surely there's better right wingers out there than trevor sinclair no ?? fill me in trevor would be a good signing imo
Hoof Fox Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 Sinclair would be a decent signing at this level IMO, undoubtedly has the ability however there has to be doubts over his fitness record. Brave move and one that if he can stay fit will prove to be a very shrewd decision.
Dames Posted 17 June 2007 Posted 17 June 2007 I remember he had a blinder for City against Utd a few seasons ago made Evra's first appearance a living hell. If he can recapture just half of that form i would have him here. Oh and he and Fryatt can be partners and get themselves fit.
