What you mean as a right-sided midfield player, maybe....

I'd think he'd give his right hand to play anywhere to be honest.

It seems he's a real handful in the closing minutes.  Well known for scoring late winners thus pinching points.  Hence the nickname 'The One-Armed Bandit'.

Before I hit the sack.  If our friend Gareth did give up his right arm to play for the nix, he would almost certainly have to play in a central position.  He'd have better 'balance' for this positionally switch-a-roo...

Phillips has scored again for West Brom at Hull.  If we do get him, it will be a great coup.
 
While typing this, Phillips has set up the Baggies 2nd.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

This is all getting out of hand.

Sorry to disapoint you but Phillips will NOT be at the Phoenix next year!

Did anyone hear the football hour on Radio sports on Sunday night? I just caught the end of the interview with the Aussie correspondent and he said that everyone in OZ are saying its a done deal for Durante and some other guy whose name I missed....Porter or Potts or something have signed for the Phoenix.

Did anyone hear the other name. Great news about Durante...a current Socceroo defender in the Phoenix

Wasn't Joel Porter, was it? He might be a handful up front (Sorry, can't help myself!)

All this conjecture is getting a bit silly is it not? surely we can stop guessing and wait and see who Ricki announces for next season! Pretty sure there will be a couple of gaps left by Aloisi and Elrich when one retires and the other is dumped.

According to that fountain of all knowledge, Four  Four Two, the Jets are looking at 2 Perth defenders which might mean that they're getting ready to replace Durante. Or, knowing 442, it might all be a load of bollocks
 
 
Lighten up, Prof. The title of the thread is Transfer Conjecture, so it's going to have all sorts of rubbish in it. Personally, I'd like to hand it to the person who started the thread, I think it's been one of the more entertaining threads on here for a while.

Yeah Prof, this is just a bit of 'armless fun.
 
What are we going to talk about between now and July? This must be the longest off season in any football league in the world.
 
Except maybe the Mongolian M-League who have to shut down for 9 months coz the pitches are buried in snow!!!!!

Oram to Mashrafe Mortaza, OUT, stunning catch and what a way to end the series.... pitches outside off and Mortaza frees his arms on seeing that width, he punches it uppishly on the back foot and Mills at point does brilliantly to fling himself to his right and pull of the catch one-handed

How's my driving? - Whine here

Why did the manager kick the one arm man out of the holiday resort?








It was only for tourists.

Off topic but re Bridges departure from Sydney:
He also revealed he had hoped to make the squad to play against Wellington last week, just so he would get his boots cleaned for him.

Bridges explained: "The day before we travelled last time, I was cleaning my boots after training and a couple of the lads said, 'Leave the mud on, don't bother. You'll get stopped at customs, they'll take your boots off you, clean them and give you them back'.

"I thought it was a wind-up, but sure enough, when I got them back from customs they were brand new!"

May have already been suggested but how much would it cost to sign Bridges?
