so the rumours weren't true then

fuck that - i'm hitting the panic button

no matter how shite people think treseguet might have become, he's got to be a better option than smith or shola, surely

is this the big signing that we're not going to be able to believe? if so, i don't believe it.

there's no harm with having two decent left backs. we've got players who can do a job at right back when beye is injured so defence is looking almost there if the argie ever finally signs. just need a few midfielders and hopefully a replacement or two for shola and smith

anyone care to explain why? presumably it's not due to the late flood of world class players arriving at the club

it isn't you

not in a million years

I would imagine it's pulling the strings in front of the back four a la Guardiola, Hierro, Redondo, etc. rather than playing 'in the hole'. Assuming it's not bollocks. sounds like we could spark an 'is viana a defensive midfielder' type debate if that is the case

Always had a softspot for The Canaries.

cuntish

must admit i'm strarting to get a little edgy now

i approach away games at old trafford expecting to lose - why expect otherwise given our history there? that way, if we pull of an unexpected result it will be a pleasant surprise, and i wont have built my hopes ahead of the inevitable disappointment.

no chance. their reserves would hump us tbh Miserable cunt realistic cunt more like. we haven't won there in my living memory - i don't see why it will be any different this time. To say their reserves would "hump" our strongest 11 are the words of either a) a clinically depressed man or B.) an idiot. whatever. we've still no chance of victory next week. only a mindless optimist would think otherwise

somewhere between 8th and 15th i reckon. can't see us finishing any higher or lower unless we sign a few class players before the window shuts

i think an AM is more of a priority

i bought a couple. what a fucking waste of money they were at all. thanks fuck we've gone to going back to straight season reviews.

fat fred on sacking sbr - "i wasn't keen to do it and i thought we should have given him longer" you weren't the only one you fat toad. thanks for souness too btw

i reckon he'll sign unless one of the big 4 come in for him. no one else is going to offer him what we're paying with his injury record.

£10m is a lot for a defender. there's no doubt about that. that's not putting a negative spin on it, it's the truth. that's why i was asking if anyone knew anything about him, because for that fee you expect a top draw defender like woodgate. i'm not moaning, i'm chuffed we've finally signed a decent sounding player and am relived that it looks like ashley is prepared to back keegan. but anyone who thinks we don't ususally pay over the odds for players has got their head in the sand.

How do you we've been shafted if you don't know much about him? you don't think £10m is over the odds for a centre half? even a top draw one? which tbf we don't know if this lad will be yet

we do always get shafted on fees like. £10m on a defender is pretty steep. does anyone know much about this lad? i suppose it's better that we get ripped off and actually sign some players though than be prudent and stick with our current squad
