  1. I've been drinking water all day. Oh no actually I fixed myself up a chocolate milk at lunchtime.

  3. That Witherspoon photo just repulses me. Compelling argument 2J!
  4. Yep, strikers with good goal scoring records in this second rate league rarely prove to be talented players. What have the van Nistelrooys, Romarios, Ronaldos, Makaays etc. ever achieved after leaving Holland? 176369[/snapback] Ronaldo was an amazing talent scoring on average a goal a game both in the league and in Europe, RVN had a decent scoring record in the CL with PSV and would have left Holland earlier if it wasn't for an injury, Makaay left for Spain at a young age but was hardly a top goalscoring in Holland, not too sure about Romario. Kuyt outside of the Dutch league has done nothing, not for Feyenoord in Europe or at International level, thats not to say he can't come here and be a top player but for £10 million it s just to big a risk IMO. 176387[/snapback] Feyenoord are shite though to be fair, so he's fighting a losing battle on the european front... 176390[/snapback] But they are still one of the top teams in that division which doesn't say much for the rest of the teams he's playing against. Did you watch them against Reading yesterday? What was Kuyt like? 176394[/snapback] http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=7788 He showed flashes of being a good player but then again, Reading made it hard for him. Cracking vision with some of his passes mind! Whether we end up with Martins instead and maybe sign Kuyt in January or next Summer (if his contract is up then) is another matter.
  5. Mr and Mrs Smith. Except the sound was turned down and I wasn't really watching it as I was busy drinking beer and eating a wok on wheels. Still enough to brand it as absolute shit though.

  8. "But Feyenoord are trying to keep him, and the amounts of money - though I don't know what the actual figure is, because we've not asked." I see no evidence of a bid for Kuyt being made upon reading this article.
  9. Why exactly? 176375[/snapback] I'm tired of us constantly being linked with strikers whom Roeder has said we've been scouting. Towards the back end of last season we were looking at Kuyt, then we had Sheaer have a look at him at a single WC game, then Roeder went to watch him some more. All this time we've still been interested, and yet he's just claimed we haven't even asked how much they want for him??? That just strikes me as a piss poor approach to the transfer window, ESPECIALLY as we've known for the past 2 seasons that we need to sign a replacement for Shearer as we only effectively have one striker at the club, given the fact Roeder seems determined to get rid of Luque despite the fact the guy's had quite a promising pre-season. It seems every week we're a few days away form signing someone but we aren't close at all as we haven't even bid for anyone. At the moment, we seem to be waiting for the big clubs to finish their shopping so that we can go in for the dregs in the hope they'll nick a goal or two for a minimal fee. We've had our trophy signing in Duff, who we don't actually need, so that seems to be it until deadline day or January.
  10. IP ban, then public hanging tbh.
  11. I'm ready to strangle the cunt. Roeder that is, not Shearer. He can just fuck off.
  12. Kuyt is no slouch though, judging from the odd game I've seen him.
  13. Bloody hell I'd forgot ManUre had bought Evra! Looks like we have a shot at getting Kuyt...we'd fucking well better go for him.
  14. is this the return....? 176154[/snapback] They're not made in Sri Lanka?
  15. I'd prefer Kuyt, but either with Martins or Dirk, it's a risk.
  16. Why would the residents of a small village near Norwich be talking geordie? 176214[/snapback] Are you saying there aren't any geordies living in Norwich? Hmmm?
  17. Don't get your chunkies in a twist.
  18. I've been saying 'Jesus wept' all day too.
  19. I say "to be honest" now thanks to this bloody place.
