Technically it would be a childless gay marriage, but we get the spirit of the post.

what if your birth mum...had a sex change and got a set of dangle berries....would he/she still be your "mum"..?:?

No, but she'd be lining up for England against Norway tomorrow night according to CB Fry.

"Had he scored 51 goals in two Premier League seasons, he would be lining up for England against Norway tomorrow".

 

Well yes, he would. But he hasn't. If my mum had balls she'd be my Dad.[/QUOTE]

 

 

 

I have noticed that you're very quick to pick up on inaccuracies in other people's posts, so my question to you is ;

..You did take Biology at school ..right ?

What's the inaccuracy in my post you are referring to and what's it got to do with biology?

Sounds like he wants Champions League football as well as the Premier League. So perhaps it might be that if we can't sign him now we sign him in January after Celtic have inevitably been knocked out

Unfortunately they will also inevitably be heading toward Champions League in 2013/14 in January

Any of our jock-watchers think this Forster kid is any good? We need a keeper at least with potential to be equal to Kelvin by the end of next season. Nice to have an English keeper too.

 

Just thinking lets see if we can really screw the hoops over.

So will clubs in the EPL. I'm sure Nicola can persuade him that we will be one of them in 03/14 with him in the team. Well, why not - isn't that is in the plan?

He wants Champions Leaugue football - well he will get one round as any representative of that third rate league has no chance.

 

He wants to play for Barcelona - prove yourself in a decent league, Jordan Rhodes is playing in a harder league than him

 

Wants to play for England - see above

The sweatie papers have him going to QPR or WHU for £7m but hes hoping for a move to Barca. No Im not joking.

 

Hed be a much better buy than JR at £7m.

Their English sister paper has a different spin on it. Read the last line of this article...

English version says we have SIGNED J Rod and has a quote from NR to back up the story. Making it up as they go along so ignore it, as usual

You would say that as you are a QPR fan ;)

 

To be fair, they're both over priced. no doubts about that.

 

But as far as attributes and ''all round game'' goes, I'd have to say Rodriguez pips Hooper.

JR is well overpriced, Swansea got Danny Graham for half the £7m quoted.

 

JR gets than 1 in 3 Hooper gets more than 1 in 2 and thats impressive when a lot of those were for Scunny.

Hooper is 100% a fox in the box. Every single goal this season was from inside the area. I sit next to his good mate at work.

 

Well worth having but happy to have JR instead

You're qpr, you're chumps - whoever it is, you're bound to overpay for them. Hooper comes to you, the price will be £10m+.

Hooper is pretty similar to Sharp, too similar, if they were both to be at Saints. This is why Rodriguez is a better option - he offers us something else.

We got Cisse and Zamora for £4m each, the only overpayment weve done is on Bartons wages and hopefully he will be sacked soon.

 

Thats nowhere near as bad as paying £7m for an NPC player with an average goalscoring record.

That NPC player with an average goalscoring record has potential at the age of 22 - something you can't particularly say for Zamora or Cisse - both of whom would be on big wages.

Just the £4m for 30plus trundling goal-every-five-games-or-so Zamora? Yes, jolly well done on that bargain of the century. Cisse? Never ever would he get anywhere near St Mary's.

 

The day Saints start spending money like that on players like that is the day we have failed as a club.

This.

 

Sort your own club who waste money on overrated players before you moan at ours.

Not that I have anything personally against Flyer but absolutely, of all fans to be lecturing us on folly, a QPR fan is one of the last who can talk!

Give it up Cisse's ban more than he's available for selection, the blokes a liability!

"Celtic striker Gary Hooper has revealed his frustration at being overlooked for international duty with England"

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7777332/Hooper-s-England-frustration

 

 

yes well that's one excuse, but as we don't have to depend on players who qualify by virtue of their grandmothers citizenship ...I think it more likely

that an English player - even a successful one... playing in Scotland is hardly likely to attract much attention from the England selectors.

I think you have to go back a long way to find anyone who was that much of an exception ..

Playing for one of the " big two" in Scotland is the equivalent of playing against opposition in NPc or L1.

 

Mark Hately?. Graham Roberts? ..don't even recall if they were selected for England whilst playing in SPL.?

Actually i often like Flyer's contributions, but on this one I think he's wrong. Right in his hopes for Barton though!

I don't think he would be overpriced at all, especially as he's 22 and English with huge potential....look at Chamberlain/Wickham/Henderson as an example of english young talent.
