Neill copped it...and now could Kop it.

Oh wait, you're serious.

Firstly, if you don't thing Sami, Agger, and Carra are good defenders then you must have been dropped on your head as a child. Secondly, Lucas Neill is probably only being signed to give us some cover at RB and CB since Paletta is a spade footed clown.

Yes I am serious - he is the best and most competent of the back four, and also can offer something going forward. I am as serious as your mother was when I performed my trademark move on her before you were a child - hence your name.

Most competent defender?

How utterly bizarre. I think Carra and Sami would have an awful lot to say about your claim, rightfully.

Don’t get me wrong – he’s a good, solid defender. He has a massive weakness in the air, though, and can be done for pace easily. Going forward he is okay, but far too ponderous, indecisive and one paced to be considered an “attacking right back”. He crosses a good ball off both feet though, in fairness to him.

DIC won`t decide until january, so don`t expect too much in that window.

[ningnangnong]

3million with 6 months left is a rip off. Id rather sign him for free in the summer.

I realise that, i was merely stating that getting a player of his quality for anything under 3m is a good deal IMO.

And being Australian has nothing to do with it Howard.

Wow, it's a small world, I ****ed your mum in the arse last weekend.

If you were serious then you are in fact a mong.

What you said was:

Finnan is top drawer in any case - one of the few defenders we have in the team!

...besides Carragher, Hyppia, and Agger. So basically we have at least four competant defenders, of which Finnan is probably the worst defensively (that's not to say that he's **** before you say anything). So what exactly was your point?

[SouthAfricaRed]

1 million plus Warnock!? I´m not having it!

He can sign a pre-contract in January and leave on a free in the summer. They (Not sure if it's Blackburn or the Reporter) are clutching at straws.

He cant be worth more than 500k and no player exchange in January.

[AFII]

Hyypia was a competent and good defender. He is to slow now. Just look at the difference between when we play Carra and Hyypia and when we play Carra and Agger.

It's not that often that we keep a clean sheet when Hyypia play but when Agger play then we keep a clean sheet most of the time.

Why don't you wipe your upper lip as you clearly cannot see through the peanut layden tash your b/f gave you earlier - my original post said he was "one of the few decent defenders we have" not the only decent defender we have.

[Beachy]

Would prove to be a very good signing IMO

You're talking **** fella. He's not the best most competent defender we have.

Getting Neill as a replacement for Hyypia would be a disaster. Sami's Biggest Strength is his ability in the Air. Neill's Biggest weakness is his ability in the Air

I would sign Neill though as he provides cover in all the positions at the back and always gives 100% for the team. I would pay maximum 500k in January or wait untill the summer though

I agree with that. I don't think anyone could reasonably think that we're getting Neill to replace any of Agger, Carra, or Finnan. Without Sami, we're noticably vulnerable to crosses and long balls because Agger and Carra aren't particularly brilliant in the air. I'd rather see us sign someone who is better in the air than Neill. However, Neill would be great against teams of ****houses like Bolton and Everton. I'd love to see him crunch Cahill.

[captainfog]

NO NO NO NO NO NO

I don't understand why we would sign him. He had a reasonable world cup and now he is suddenly highly rated.

We have no need to scrape around the bottom of the transfer market if investment is immenant. Even if, Rafa doesn't get any money till next year, I am sure we can survive the rest of the season without signing Lucas.

If we sign him he will just become another Josemi

We need to start showing more ambition in the transfer market

[Shaggy]

So it seems only the Aussie Reds want us to sign Lucas facking Neill.

You're almost as bad as the Welsh.
