Sidwell to swap Claret and Blues

According to Sky Sports, we are lining up a move for Sidwell. Why exactly? Don't we have enough players to play in centre midfield when Parker, Noble, Collison and Hitlespurger are fit? Is there not a greater need for a goal scorer, a left back and somebody to play with pace on the left of midfield?

Of course, signing Sidwell would make sense if somebody was leaving...

...Scotty by any chance?

I'll make you a real world bet. No bluffing, a real life, money-where-your mouth is bet. A oner says Scotty's staying. We can do transfer by Paypal.

HF, I have a sneeking feeling that with barton also going on the cheap that Scotty might be being lined up for a swap deal with the spuds ... O'hara, Kranjar and keane inbound would change our team completely and by offloading Cole and berahmi you then pennies to find a LB and a second goalscorer ... just a thought ..

Think you've answered your own question HF - why the need for Sidwell when Collison, Noble, the Hitz and Parker are fit - because when are those four all fit? The reason for Sidwell is simple, Pep (Beharami) is leaving - and Sidwell is the cover to that. A solid not exciting player - but My God, somewhat better than Kovac and Spector

Whilst I agree we have other priorities, like getting a striker that can score or get easy headers on target at least, let's be honest, Sidwell's better than Noble HF.

Also, if the perception is that Hitz will return without a problem then we're mistaken. The type of injury he has will mean he will continue to break down I'm afraid.

He may be staying, he may be going. What odds are you offering? Mind you, I would need a name and address before I bet!

Sounds like Keane is pricing himself out of a move to us Tom. O'Hara I wouldn't touch because of the injury record.

stani you really do hate noble dont you please explain how how sidwell is better then noble

TIS said...

Listen mate - you said he was going before and he didn't let's not go down that road again for god's sake. It was bloody boring.

Stani Army said...

I don't hate him Fred. Lovely guy, not a top footballer. Hate is a strong word Fred, use it carefully. I mean, I don't even hate you believe it or not!

Sidwell sores twice as many goals. He has a better wrong foot. He is more mobile and has played for clubs that Noble will never play for.

Explain to me how Noble is better?

Hammersfan said...

Yep, Sidwell has played for Reading!

lol HF and stani if you remember correctly a couple years back under curbs we rejected an 8 mil bid from arsenal and noble dont want to join any other club sidwell went to chelsea reserves he was at reading aswell 2 clubs big deal especially as you cant really cound the reserves as a club and you keep saying we score more goals without noble but we arent scoring many goals now they still nearly all come from set pieices in fact noble is probaly got 4 or 5 assists this season and also has two goals and noble also is one of the only pplayers that we have who can pass a bloddy ball and play a killer ball oh dont forget he has alot better tackling technique the nparker and doesnt collect up as many yellows either so yer i think u very much underrate noble

Stani Army said...

And Noble will play for Chelsea!

Couldn't possibly strike a bet with somebody who can't use capital letters. Would be cruel to take your money!
