That list just shows how much inexperience we have brought in recently, since January only Stalteri, Tainio and Mido have been brought in with experience.
I like the big man, he is massive, quick and positionally ok. He should stay as a squad player. Bunjy on the other hand should never have been brought in by Hoddle. But I think he will be still with us, again as a squad player.
I don't mind Pamarot, he could be a useful squad player when he comes back around December time because he can play full back and centre back but their is alot of centre backs at the club.
...he's a better centre-half. Trust me, I am a right-back and he is no good. In the centre though, he plays very well.
I'll miss Atouba. he could have been a good player if given a second chance. Pamarot isn't bad he's good even though sometimes stubborn. I miss Acimovic. That guy knew soccer PROPER!
...Yep, LuisFabiano is a.k.a. Frank Arnesen. Only someone that was stupid enough to sign that rigsby would say what you just said.
