Edgar Davids

[madeinsheffield]

Instead of all this Blackwell talk.

Leicester City are in talks to sign former Tottenham star Edgar Davids.

Would be good for us at the present time, what with the shite that's currently being played

Whilst I think we need to add experience on the pitch to guide the team, this is exactly the sort of signing that we need to stay away from.

 

[Latters]

An established top level midfielder is definitaly not something we need to be avoiding in my opinion!

 

[madeinsheffield]

He could also lend his glasses to Bunny cos he can't see anything coming at him from over 25 yards out until its too late, has anybody else noticed that?

A 36-year-old player with his career going downwards on what would be ludicrous wages? He hasn't played for a year.

Smacks of showpiece signing of someone who was a very good player, but could quite easily turn into a disaster signing all round.

Agreed. I think we need fit players. Not players that will take weeks to get in the side.

Why not see if Keith Edwards fancies a game? Or Peter Shilton? Patrick Kluivert? Dennis Bergkamp?

Why? does Paddy need someone to swap cough medicine tips with?

It could, alternatively it could be the Stuart McCall signing all over again. Slagged off for being past it but actually means we have a midfield capable of breaking down the opposition and then maintaining meaningful possession. Something we've lacked since Macca's retirement.

It could indeed, but Stuart McCall didn't cost us in excess of £20k a week basic and hadn't spent a year out from competitive football .

He also had a little more in common with the rest of the squad

I didn't know we had a squad full of aging ginger scots!

Seriously though, I can see why you wouldn't want Davids. It is a massive risk to take, spending big wages on a gamble, but without the gambles we'll continue to bore our way to mid-table mediocrity.

Having said that, if Blackwell did sign him, he'd probably fall out with him a lá Hendrie. If only we'd capitalised when Robson got the boot and got a manager that could handle the big names, with the squad we had we could have been a comfortable mid-table Premiership team within a couple of years.

 

[Compound_Legend]

More chance of signing Craig David,in my honest opinion...

Shamon!!

Could be our Dave MacKay!

(Yes I have just re-read The Damned United)

 

[Worksop II]

I dont know about Edgar Davids, and it might have been Blackpools Strip, but I thought we were playing Cryuff, Bergkamp, Rykaard, Gullit and Marco Van Basten

I thought that the new football cut the midfield out

 

[Macfarlane21]

You all know that you'd love to see that dutch, dreadlocked, terminator impressionist don the red and white stripes!

 

[Asaba/Djaffo]

Edgar Davids, Patrick Vieira, Zinedine zidane, David Beckham

Sign em all then we sit and watch the ball get thumped over and around a world class midfield instead of a shit one.

I hope you guys coming up with the best jokes don't mind but I am writing them down and they will be put to good use believe me.

Even if we did sign him you wouldn't even notice he was on the pitch. The ball would simply fly over his head or go round him. Then he'd get accused of vanishing from games like Tonge, Howard, Harper.............

I've been reading (and writing) lots of doom and gloom posts so thank you and a few others for coming up with so much wit.

"Shurely you have shigned me for my shilky shkills and shexy looks though?"

"Fack off, it's just to sell novelty specs to China."

"For the thirty thoushand a week I will hoof it all you like. Where do I shign?"
