No he hasn't done a Beatles cover before Blue Tit or some other smart arse comedian comments :hehe:
It was great to see him get game time yesterday and score a goal which meant so much for the player and his team mates judging by their reaction.. :ayatollah:
Hopefully he can get back upto match fitness and offer us another option up front this season.
Could be like a new signing :ayatollah:
Yes, I noticed that players like Pack and Flint made a special point of congratulating him on his goal. Liked Collins' first goal, that was a decent bit if finishing and Isaak Davies was from a good move.Quote:

Harris played 2nd half didnt he?Quote:

I seriously doubt it at this stage.
Maybe he's not as brittle as we think. Looking back previous seasons he managed 45+ games a season for three consecutive years. Let's hope at the very least we get a chance to see him play for us this year.

The only time I could see most players accepting a pay as you play deal is when they're out of contract.

the papers were saying that Owen Hargreaves was being offered a pay as you play deal by Man utd at the end of his injury ravaged time there, but he ended up signing for someone else.
there was also a deal doe Andy Carroll that was billed as being pay as you play at Newcastle, but the base salary was over a million quid a year even if he didn't play a single game.
can't see any player exiting an existing full time contract for one that sees them covering a large amount of risk
Because it's what everybody wishes we'd originally offered Robbie FowlerQuote:
