6 red cards for Blackburn in all competitions.Originally posted by StevieG08He'll be ok as a squad player IMO, someone on here said his discipline wasn't as bad as we think. Something like five red cards in the premier league, don't know how accurate that info was. As with Bellers and Pennant will get my support until he seriously crosses the line like diouf did.
Gerrard has had 5 and thrown in some horror challenges so I don't think that stat proves anything.

In the last five seasons he has always been amongst the top 5 or 10 players with most disciplinary points.Originally posted by StevieG08He'll be ok as a squad player IMO, someone on here said his discipline wasn't as bad as we think.

Doesn't mean he's not a decent player though.Like blood on iron

That's my point, i don't think that's all that many considering the team and managers he has played under at Blackburn. Some managers have a way of stirring players up, if you know what i mean.Originally posted by Speedy6 red cards for Blackburn in all competitions.

To be fair the lad will hardly ever get a game. He'll be 2nd choice right back and that is the best he'll do - occasional cover for Finnan, a la Josemi.
He's never gonna play left back.
He'll hardly ever play centre back as he's at least 4th choice behind Carra, Sami and Agger, and I'm sure Paletta would have something to say about that too.
Seems a strange one to me. He's not an attacking, rampaging right back in the mould that Rafa normally likes ('laterals') so even as 2nd choice right back I can hardly see the bloke fitting in.
I reckon we'll pack him off to Sevilla (or somewhere else) when we finally find the funds to buy Alves. He'll be another Josemi/Kromkamp type; a short term buy IMO.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

I think he will be a good signing. Rafa will make best use of him.Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.
* After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs

I think the competition will be greater for Riise too. Neill is very good on both flanks. He'll provide great cover for Finnan and he'll be pushing really hard for JAR's place at left back I reckon.Originally posted by GrouchoI think the competition will be great for Finnan...
Neill can be a bit rash at times in the box (eg his near penalty vs Chelsea the other day) but that is my only doubt against him as a footballer. I'm sure Rafa wouldn't be interested in Neill if he thought his thuggishness was too much to deal with.
I for one really hope the deal goes through and Blackburn agree to the bid.
