I agree. He seems to have played a lot better since he got rid of the wig.

I'd imagine Cahill has a better shot than Taylor from the (admittedly) limited times I've seen them both play - whilst we're on a Bolton 'tip' I thought Nolan should have been given a better chance than he has had, especially considering the number of caps Nicky Butt has got over the years. Now he's at a worse club at Newcastle I suppose he's got to get less of a chance.

4 or 5 years ago I'd have said that an England call-up was just around the corner for Nolan but to be fair in the past two and a half seasons his form had been nothing better than average and the move was probably the best for both parties.

If Matt Taylor was going to get a go for England, it would have been when he had a cracking season for Portsmouth about three years ago.

To be honest, he's had a pretty decent season this season - I for one have been very impressed.

I agree with you As a Rovers fan I saw us pay £7.5 million for him and got 2 goals from him in about 30 games.He's ok if you want someone to hold the ball up but other than that he's nowhere near an international class forward.

Although as I said earlier in the thread, up to Crouch getting a brace at the weekend, he was the highest scoring English striker in the PL.

So the top two are Crouch and Davies. Good God! That says it all about English football(ers).

He's like a Samson in reverse.

Given a choice between Ireland and Robinho....Ireland every time. His progression has been the highlight of the season for me.

People on here may mock my views of the likes of Palacios but my opinion has always been that I don't rate midfielders who can't pass (I.E open up a defence), defend and score goals. Others are just cloggers. That's why I rate city players like johnson and Ireland so highly, and don't rate some others.

I am many things, whether I am the internet alias 'Enfield Exile' or just my normal self. Being deluded is not one of them. I'm far too pessimistic and critical of City to be regarded as 'deluded'.

EE and his Mrs are having the Ireland V Modric debate at home too.

She's not over-enamoured with Modric at all. She thinks Ireland is a top player.

She also dislikes Harry Redknapp with a passion. A view shared by a quite a few Spurs fans that I know.

We don't disagree about alot when it comes to football apart from who our baby should support and the ability of Robbie Keane.

There's more chance of Robinho having a good game away from home than EE admiting his opinion isn't always the correct one.

RE Robinho:

RE opinions: Why would I give an opinion and then say I was wrong a few minutes later? Anyways, I think I have a better knowledge of the ability of Spurs players than Stirlingshire Saint.

David Silva to Liverpool? Yes please! Seems like they're getting the rumours in early, a top player but I'm not sure how he'd do as a consistent wide player.

This is where you go wrong you see. You have a different opinion on Spurs players than myself. However you also tie yourself in knots by one minute saying the likes of Palacios cannot do this and that and then state they are a factor in our improvement.

I'm happy to debate the merits of any Spurs player you like, however the chances of agreement are slim as I don't happen to agree that they are all garbage.
