Don't know nuffink about Savic. Hope he's good. If he's not good, I'll be disappointed. I'm hoping for him to be a sleeper hit, maybe becoming a lesser part of the Kompany-Savic partnership. Yeh. Then I hope we win the title. That'd be good.

I think Ned's the better defender. Richards still looks totally clueless at times, though he did improve last season. Also, he never scores goals. The amount of headers Richards blasts over from corners is ridiculous. How many goals has Richards scored since he broke into the first team? I do like the big black chappie btw, and his sexy ways

In what way are you a lane? Or does the lane define your entire character?


Pure defender, you're probably right. I think more on potential both ways Micah gets my vote.

Goals wise:
Micah has 9 goals in 186 games, with 6 goals in his last 57 games.
Ned has 4 goals in 125 games with 1 in his 31 games last season.

I'm not a 'lane' in anyway. Just paying hommage to the great history of our beloved football club. Maine Road (the actual road, not the stadium) was previously called Dog Kennel Lane. That's where I got the name from. Just a little different I thought.

ned's a better defender, better positional sense, better tackler

he's a defender, that's his job.

I like how despite having the second? (correct me if i'm wrong) best defence in the league we're still looking to improve. Nice to have a manager (club?) who thinks this way and isn't complacent. I'd say our defence is pretty much sorted if we can axe the deadwood. I'm in favour of giving Boateng a second chance (considering injury etc).

No way is Neds a better defender than Micah at the moment. On the one hand you've got a player who's performances last season should've nailed him down a spot in the England team, on the other a player who started OK playing in a crap team and then failed to get regular starts ahead of Bramble and Turner at center back and then Bardsley at right back. You'd start Micah ahead of Neds in any position on the pitch at the moment.

Surely Neds quicker he was running near 10 seconds flat in 100 metre races at the age of 14, seem to get a full season in largely uninjured last season too, I'd rather get him back and get rid of Jerome.

None are as good as Micah though.

Injury may have robbed him of some of that pace I guess, but yeah - rather keep him than boateng.

Didn't know that about Maine Road. That's interesting.

I wasn't making the point comparatively about goals, just that to cite Micah's goal threat was misleading seeing as he has basically none, and that's fair enough because it's not what he's supposed to be there for. I just don't see much justification for the idea he's going to start scoring them.

I think we'll sell Onuoha either way, and hopefully not regret it. We'll end up buying him back from Everton for twenty mill in two seasons.

You two would pack our team with Slavs if you had your way. Personally I wouldn't allow anyone to don a city shirt who couldn't prove both grandfathers flew Spitfires during WW2.

As long as they weren't scousers, as they require too much time off for funerals and court appearances.

i tell you about our local? we've got so many black players it illicited the stroke afflicted mother of the land lady to (amongst other things) say that darkies are lazy fuckers and you have to keep their foodbowls empty to make sure they work.

i think she was aiming this at richards.

you'd love our local bastard/esm. they've even got a guy who answers to "coon".
