I thought Bardsley did ok against Chelsea. Hazard was quiet, Bardsley was marking him, I can live with that. Can you let me know who was meant to be marking Terry please? I love how this has turned into a bash Cameron thread... Is it because a certain people on here praised Bardsley so highly and now we've all seen half a season of his dire attempt at being a RB??? Ask Bardsley if he want's his arse back from Schlupp, Mata, Young, Hazard (who had a field day) and worst of all Kightly... As you said before when we wanted to sign him, "He's fucking awful." Who praised him highly? Hazard didn't have a field day at all, Hazard was pretty quiet, Chelsea were pretty subdued in general I thought going forward.

Naw, they weren't quiet they had the edge the entire match... Hazard countered off of Bardsley's multiple attempts to pass to himself while bombing forward losing possession to a hazard counter to which the corner that Terry scored from. Hardly quiet. Loads on here said Bardsley was i quote. "Solid." Fucking further from the truth than anything. He's a solid body infront of a winger that's all.

Like I said, the corner opportunity came from one of many stupid trounces forward from Phil "Solid" Bardsley. As we've seen most of this season. He's had one good performance where he hasn't been dicked or played out of position and that was Man City away. Since then he's been injury prone, and dire. We need a RB in that isn't a free and a castoff.

Hopefully Cameron and Wilson (might as start on him too) will be shipped out soon and we spend the money on a right back. It's the only weak link left at the back now.

Hughes has to get rid of Palacios first, nobody else should leave before that waste of space. We won't get shit for Wilson Palacios so he'll probably keep hold until summer. Cameron has doubled in market value since his coming here as has Wilson, so we'd get a fair price for both but I think Adam, Sidwell, Wilson and most importantly Palacios will go before him unless a suitor comes in asking for his signature. Conversely Phil's value has dropped half a million quid since his performances here. From £3 mil to £2.5 mil quid. I'd let Bardsley go first tbh. Cameron and Wilson are worth £4 million.

I personally think Deano could have been our best RB since reaching the Prem. A rare case of square peg in a round whole selection working.
As the thread has virtually developed into a "who's best RB" I'll add my ten penneth.
Since promotion: Deano -potentially, didn't really play there enough to be sure Cameron - virtual ever present in our best season in nearly 40 years Wilko -when fully fit Bardsley -been disappointing and just edging out... Shotton- always did an adequate job, lacked a bit of touch and composure Huth
Woodgate.

What is this desire to slag off decent pros in what was one of the best eras in our history?
Played in 150 games, gave 100% in every one, scored against Arsenal, scored at Old Trafford, scored in Europe, what's not to like? Top man, Deano.

It's probably the same desire and consistency of some posters who like to re-write history and the performance of players. Deano gave 100% of that there is no doubt, played some great games again no doubt. He was also a walking yellow card who mostly looked like a dog chasing a balloon. Good servant but we needed better and he went at the right time. H

Brilliant result for Boro today. Good to see Deano still doing a job in midfield too. Never let us down. Great day of football. He played right back and he looked bloody awful in doing so. Was lucky not to give a penalty away. A truly awful footballer who was the embodiment of the phrase "100% of nothing is still nothing".

Whelan shits on Whitehead from a great height. And N'Zonzi shits on them both from an even greater height.

Giving 100% isn't enough, it should be the minimum. 230 Premier League appearances some as Captain and a player of the year award (and possibly a Premier League swansong to come) suggests he isn't a 'God awful' footballer. In fact it suggests that's a pretty ludicrous thing to say. He was massively overpriced but domestic transfers of UK players are always overpriced and there was a pretty big sell on fee for Sunderland to pay. Not a player to rave about and by no means a club legend but a solid cog in a fantastic era.

A bog standard squad player. Cost £5m and was inferior to what we had at the club at the time. There was better available for cheaper.
Hard working off the ball, fairly dreadful on it.

Darel Russell without the goals. I love a good defensive midfielder who is intelligent and can read the game, Whitehead was never that. He never featured in our best XI in his time here, he should have been no more than a bit part player.

His only real use was to motivate Whelan. Drop him for Whitehead and he used to come back twice the player.

He's the archetypal Pulis centre midfield player; hard work, will do what he is told, doesn't complain. A player who contributes most when we don't have the ball. And in Tone's system, posession of the ball in central midfield wasn't part of the plan, so he didn't need to be very good with the ball at his feet.
Of course, that all comes apart if he's asked to play in a wide position, but that takes us into a separate debate!
