Think he is too injury prone imo. Plus doubt we would be able to afford his wage demands. |

What's the point? Injury-plagued, way past his best. Oh I see, he once played for Blues so therefore he must return. |

Spot on m8. Some people seem obsessed with signing every ex blue that becomes available. He was never any good anyway, wherever he's been. |

While I generally agree about bringing back past players, I'd make an exception for players like Darren Carter. Although he isn't spectacular, he'd still be better than any midfielder we've had over the last season. He does know what it is to play for the shirt, has played at all levels including the Premier League, is available, and above all, would in all likelihood play for £5k a week. |

Darren Carter available? He plays for Northampton Town in League 2 and surely he's there for a reason! |

He was quality for Crystal Palace. He joined Everton. He played for England. To claim he "was never any good" is a ridiculous comment. |

If my memory serves...that picture (TF/AJ) was from the cup final v Liverpool after the penalty shoot out ?? We had a penalty in normal play ( deserved) and should have another ( even more blatant) for a foul on AJ. At that point in the game, ( extra time) we were well on top, and I remain convinced we would have won, had we converted a second pen. |

Who are you? The Messiah of footballing knowledge? Lol. Yes i agree, he did have a couple of decent seasons at Palace, but as for playing for England and Everton.....so what. Many have, it doesn't make them great. Everywhere else apart from Palace, he was naff. Better? |

If that were true, we'd never have signed DJ Campbell, and Fulham would never have taken a certain Geoff Horsfield from Conference side Halifax Town. Did you see our team last season? Aside from having a witless manager, we lacked experience and the sort of passion needed that only players who are Blue themselves can fully grasp. If you can't afford the best, then get people who will run through brick walls for you, with proven experience. Darren Carter is the only midfielder I can think of who fits this bill. Look at his record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Carter |

Fulham were in the second division at the time and Horsfield was 25 as was Campbell when We signed him. Carter is now 30 and I reckon even he'd admit is on the tail end of his career. So your point is? |

AJ was a good player. We really f up when we payed Palace 4.5mill and AJ for Clinton. Too injury prone and would want too much dollar now. DJ Campbell just been released by Blackburn. I'd defo take him. We could be in with a shout too,as he's damaged goods due to the betting situ. I'd think he'd play for the 5k ceiling wage too. Just what we need as a natural goal scorer as well. |

I agree. I'd take DJ back. Be nice if he'd tip us off if he is coming back so we can all have a few quid on it first ;) |

That a player simply being in league two does not mean they aren't good enough for the championship. |

Yep I'm sure there's Championship clubs clambering for him. Average player at best and now at his level for the stage of his career. |
