Sean St. Ledger

[Umberside]

On another note, why do you think Hughes is so keen to replace Dunne? I mean, is Lescott any better like? I dunno

I don't think he wants to replace him, he just wants more competition for the defence, like he has with the attack. When he's got that amount of money who could blame him.

True that

[Umberside]

If Dunne stays Man City have a good chance of challenging the top four but I can't see them actually staying in a Champions League place.

I just hope the Saint stays away from Everton. They should be arrested for that jersey. You simply can't have a good season wearing that garb. The players look embarrassed while wearing it. It really is the ugliest soccer jersey I have ever seen

Interestingly Everton have changed their home kit every year since 2001. Last year's was definitely the best one.

To be serious though Everton would be a good place for St Ledger.

I'd agree if it were not for the shirt. I genuinely think it will have a very negative impact on the team this season

Have you been watching "The Wire"?

There are a lot of bad shirts this year and Everton's is one of the worst.

But it's likely St Ledger is one for the future (maybe next season) so hopefully the shirt will be gone by then

What I'm saying is their attack would get them into the top four, their defence wouldn't.

Their attack is no match for the top 4 imo.

Evidence that Man City have a poor defence is backed up by lasts season's woeful defence, whereas it's hard to say they've a good defence because they kept clean sheets against Blackburn and Wolves.

They hadn't got Toure last season or more importantly Gareth Barry who'll play the biggest role in improving their defensive record imo.

Anyway let's hope St Ledger makes the step up this summer.

[Umberside]

Does anyone know what the transfer fee for St Ledger will be should a deal be made?

Won the cup wearing it in 84.....

Got to love that hat on John Bailey!





It is gank alright though!

Have you been watching "The Wire"?

I was going to ask the same question - I found myself saying "true that" in a meeting the other day and realised I better not let my TV watching cross over into real life.

The Saint came off today, looks doubtful for Cyprus!

Big blow for the lad as he hopes to establish himself in the Ireland set up.

If SSL is injured I'd go with that too. No Foley or McShane to complicate selection.

Teflon Don may well recommend Nolan though.

[shakermaker1982]

I'd probably pick Nolan over Kilbane but am sure the Trap will go for Kilbane's experience. Fingers crossed for St Ledger. I thought he was excellent against Bulgaria and the occasion didn't get to him.

True.. Snuffs out the chance of a last minute Premiership move before Tuesday too..
