ScouseFox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 How dare you! Paolo is a beautiful man; you've just chosen a bad picture Woah, that was my point! I was going to post a whole host of Italian defenders (Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro etc) to prove that beautiful men make defenders too.
dmayne7 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Woah, that was my point! I was going to post a whole host of Italian defenders (Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro etc) to prove that beautiful men make defenders too. I was worried that you and I were going to have a big falling out! The Italians kind of ruin the ugly defender theory. Probably the best defensive nation in the History of football and you don't see many Baptiste's in there!
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 My lad has just texted me to say that we have signed him according to Sky Sports http://m.skysports.com/article/football/yourclub/8365319?compid=416&teamid=152 Looks like NFP has the full support of the owners
MGLCFC Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 My lad has just texted me to say that we have signed him according to Sky Sports http://m.skysports.c...=416&teamid=152 Looks like NFP has the full support of the owners I'm not saying it won't happen, but this was posted on SSN a few days ago and has since been denied that there has been any contact by both parties.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 When ever I've seen him play he's reminded me of Bamba makes mistakes but is fast enough to get himself out of trouble. Like I said only when I've seen him play which is about 3 or 4 times. I'm sure he's played CDM for Blackpool though? Could we be purchasing him to play there? You're the second person I've seen compare him to Bamba. Worrying indeed Behave! I'd agree with Dan there

dpjfox Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 Sky reported a deal had been agreed are they now reporting hes actually signed?
MGLCFC Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 Sky reported a deal had been agreed are they now reporting hes actually signed? No just same as three days ago, that apparently a deal had been agreed. Like I said earlier, both clubs say there has been no contact.
Ashley Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 You're the second person I've seen compare him to Bamba. Worrying indeed I'd agree with Dan there Like I said only when ever I have seen him play he has made mistakes but he's fast enough to get him self out of trouble.
Woollett's Wellies Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 Here's the quote from Michael Appleton in the Blackpool Gazette..... http://www.blackpool...ports-1-5264942 By William Watt Published on Monday 31 December 2012 09:45 BLACKPOOL boss Michael Appleton is furious over reports that skipper Alex Baptiste is set to leave the club. The media reports claimed Pool have agreed a fee with Championship rivals Leicester City for the 26-year-old defender. The story surfaced while Appleton and his team were in their Teesside hotel preparing for Saturday’s game at Middlesbrough, which Pool lost 4-2. The reports stunned the Pool boss and Baptiste himself, who both said they know nothing about the so-called deal. And the Blackpool boss suggested the story may be designed to unsettle the player. Appleton said: “It’s a little bit naughty as far as I’m concerned. I have no idea about it at all. “The first I heard about the whole thing was on television. Baps knows nothing about it, and as far as I’m aware it is total speculation. “I’m not happy at all about how the news broke but what can you do? “We try to be professional in what we do but we can’t control what happens in the media.†Blackpool fans aren't totally convinced he isn't on the way out as Oyston is known to be trying to get rid of all the higher paid players. Make of this what you will.
Happy Fox Posted 31 December 2012 Author Posted 31 December 2012 If Oyston is doing that then lets get Matt Phillips while we are at it as well.
Woollett's Wellies Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 My 'Donkey Walloper' mate tells me that Swansea and Southampton have already been sniffing around Phillips with rumoured bids around £5.5M. Of course, if Sven was still here we'd be in the running........
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 This is why I don't listen to my lad !!!
Grewks Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 Denial of a bid by ourselves?? Must be true that an offer has been made and accepted then, NP said he wasn't interested and hadn't put a bid in for Chris Wood, look how that has turned out. As to Matt Phillips, played no better than Dyer this season, yes he is young and full of potential, but seemed like a bit of a billy big bollox towards the end of Holloway's era, rather look at Milwall and James Henry.

_Fatboyslow_ Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 My old man said he heard it on sky too. I can send you the text
Dan Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 No way ! Naughton was much better. IMO Going forward I think De Laet is even better, not loads in it, thought Naughton was a lot more use defensively though.
Libertine Dream Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 Going forward I think De Laet is even better, not loads in it, thought Naughton was a lot more use defensively though. Naughton was a lot better than De Laet and is rightly playing often for Spurs
Dan Posted 31 December 2012 Posted 31 December 2012 Naughton was a lot better than De Laet and is rightly playing often for Spurs I agree, but going forward I think De Laet edges it, bear in mind this is based on what I saw at Leicester though.
