If it's true where does that leave Defoe?He'll fit in well then.
Not sure why we'd need one. Am sure Allardyce knows what he's like... maybe just a fitness test.playing in a behind closed doors game for us tomorrow. Apparently.
IF he signs and IF he's as bad as we all seem to think he is you'd have to seriously question Allardyce's judgement. Conversely, if he comes in and does a job we'd have to give him a lot of credit as its a brave decision with the potential to seriously damage his credibility.
Told you that earlier....![]()
BSA might also get it wrong as he did last season when he shunted Downing back out wide when in the form of his life, too reliant on players who have done it for him in the past, without the means to play that way here even if Nolan still had the legs and ability. He's a good manager Allardyce - to a point, he's not infallible.
Good evening Rocky lad.I was going to say "he's better than Toivenen" but I'll not bother as that is hardly a ringing endorsement.
Its a big fat (like Nolan) no from me.
My initial thoughts are that Adam and Nolan are attacking midfielders and Cattermole isn't so the question is ridiculous as they'd carry out different roles in the team.Good evening Rocky lad.
Here's a question for you:-
Who do you think is/was better, Nolan or Cattermole? I haven't given it thorough consideration but i'd like to hear your initial thoughts.
Another player i used to love to hate was Charlie Adam. Who do you think is/was better, Adam or Cattermole? My opinion of Adam has changed over time.

As I have said, his options are limited until the transfer window opens. He's already said in the media (which I thought was wrong of him BTW) that the player are not following his instructions. Would you rather he sat on his hands until the window opens...I wouldn't. If Nolan proves himself fit/quick enough to get a wage here then great, if he doesn't cut it then at lest BSA had a look.
West Ham's downturn in the second half of last season had a hell of a lot more with Song's bizarre 'don't give fuck' attitude than Downing playing wide. Nolan's return to their first team was a response to a problem at West Ham, not the cause.
Good evening Rocky lad.

I suppose it all depends on how you'd prefer us to play. Are you saying Nolan and Adam can't defend at all, or Cattermole can't attack at all?My initial thoughts are that Adam and Nolan are attacking midfielders and Cattermole isn't so the question is ridiculous as they'd carry out different roles in the team.
It's like asking who do you think is better Busquets or Iniesta? Obviously I'm not putting Catts, Lard Arse and Adam on the same level as those 2.
What a really stupid question you've asked me. A man with your professional background and in depth knowledge asking a questiok like that has left my gast flabbered.
You dopey twonk.
I'm saying they play different roles within a team, I'm sure you can understand that. Would you buy Kevin Nolan to play a defensive role? A simple yes or no will suffice don't waffle on.I suppose it all depends on how you'd prefer us to play. Are you saying Nolan and Adam can't defend at all, or Cattermole can't attack at all?
As a professional who trained every day i'd be absolutely f*cking gutted to be pigeon holed into such a limited role. A professional sportsman who is not only limited to a certain position, but is limited to a certain derivative of that position in a very specific style of that position.
What next, a player to receive the ball, substitute him for a player to control the ball, then substitute him for a player to pass the f*cking ball?
You have a very limited view on players, maybe it's down to watching Cattermole so long he's clouded your judgement.
He'd be good for a season and would score a few goals, its a no brainer if his legs haven't gone. He's only 33 FFS
It may also be due to the game tactically changing over the years and players defining their positions more clearly. Football's evolved.I suppose it all depends on how you'd prefer us to play. Are you saying Nolan and Adam can't defend at all, or Cattermole can't attack at all?

Surely he was talking about about defensive side of things though, which given his formation, some of their history and the guidlines they were given to encourage them coming forward from the touchline was perfectly understandable how we caved in against a decent Everton whom we gave unlimited chances too. If he can't get a tune from the attacking players and thinks Kevin Nolan till January will address this, then his reputation about getting the best out of players is bullshit (it is really, as it's about getting the best out of limited ways and attributes in the main).
And how will Nolan be 'quick' enough, he's never had any legs to be quick enough, especially the last few years when he's been even less mobile. He is 100% reliant on a target man playing him in, we'd end up wasting a wage on him and games when we don't have the time.
West Hams form almost entirely collapsed the moment Carroll and Nolan especially were reintroduced. They'd had a lot of praise earlier in the season for the football they were playing largely due to the pace up front and the creativity behind them. Sam quickly reverted back to old ways and the stagnant play not suprisingly returned instantly. We're not talking just results, we're talking the football they were playing so I'm unsure why you're mentioning Song's supposed attitude.
