Andrew

there's something much more interesting going on as well, kia joorabchian wanted by interpol

where's garcia gone?

Better than Butt tbh [delusional]But we're not going to win the league with players like duscher[/delusional]

I love how the sun still don't like him for breaking becks foot "duscher the butcher"

Please let this happen

Nope, no way, absolute rip off for 8-10 mil £8m for defoe is a bargain in my eyes Well that's why you're not a top manager dnt need to be a top manager to know that defoe is a good signing.... well for £8m any ways okay then

You guys realise he hasn't signed for them right? We have one claim with no source and you've all already written him off as their player it's the owen thing all over again and that's not even over yet

Possibly because the FA approved it after looking at the 3 clubs in one season rule and approved it, don't want to draw even more negative attention to themselves by saying "oh actually, that transfer we approved was illegal so we're fining you for it"

Dodgy PES commentary ftw

That's not really that hard to do you know, besides in the premiership you could try that from every corner you get for an entire season and you'd be lucky to score one

Why would owen go to man city? they're worse than us and in a worse situation at the moment with their takeover fast becoming a farce while ours has pretty much finished

I'f have deco of the 2 mentioned, boost the attacking options in midfield which we are lacking at the moment

Because their board have built up the club well behind the scenes and turned them into a successful business. I read somewhere that Bent will be paid for over 3 years, £5.5 million a season out of the extra £30 million a year clubs will soon be picking up. I'd be worried about Spurs tbh. Looking like a good squad this season. they still need a left winger though, more than they needed bent

I don't think anyone is doing that, just pointing out that the players that are coming in are hardly going to push us up to where we want to be, we're going to need more quality to push us up around where we were under Robson. but we're not suddenly going to become a top 4 team and we're not going to be able to attract the big guns even with our money, chelsea struggled to when they first got rich and they were a better team then than we are now I didn't say we were, but that is what we should be aiming for. Chelsea bought the likes of Duff, Joe Cole, Makelele so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, they did have the attraction of CL though. skols post there ^^^ is my point

Actually a very good way of describing him! And as people have said, he is showing up Roeder and his lot with every passing day. Its also worth noting that if it weren't for Chelski being cheap this year we'd also have Haim in the bag and possibly Sidwell, and he said if he'd been earlier he would have been interested in Distin. So we could have been sitting here with 6 or 7 players in for hardly anything at the start of July! But none of them are world class! we're not even european class at the moment, we're going to struggle to bring in the likes of kaka and messi for at least a few years, what we need now is exactly what we're getting, a squad You reckon?? I think Chelsea and Man Utd would struggle to bring in the likes of them tbh It was more in the way of a joke then a serious comment, sort of exaggerating the expectations some people have about who we're going to get this summer

The Queresma 'link' was just bawan playing football manager tbh. wierd that I heard about it last month and not from on here then

there's also the quarsema link if you believe it, not sure I do but it would be an awesome buy

eidur's pretty hot assuming we're still after him, he's got real style in his play

he's rated very highly?

I don't think that Geremi or the players we have already signed were unrealistic targets in past seasons. You're right, roeder would be doing this well

maybe if he goes to barca he'll learn to keep hold of the ball which might just make him worth starting in the england team
