So Hughes says on his appointment that he's looking to get consistently into the top 10. Well that takes me right back to Lambias' statement. Do we as much ambition as bloody Stoke now??

Agree with most of that. Just got to put this season behind us now, hope for a couple of new strikers and that Pards can get the team to play with some sort of fluidity again. Trying to be optimistic

I suppose they'll miss him though if Hughes takes them down. Can see them just about surviving next year though.

You know, clubs like West Brom Southampton etc. And even us to an extent duirng our UEFA Cup qualifying years. Mostly mid table finishes but at least the fans have had some decent football to enjoy. In the end, thats what basics comes down to isnt it? Enjoying the weekend, having a good day out. Its enough to keep most people happy despite lack of trophies etc etc. Those poor souls get to watch their players kick people for 90 minutes and thats that. The throw ins were fun for a while, cant think of much else. Add to that being unanimously hated by neutrals. Finally they get rid of Pulis and lo and behold enter Mark Hughes!!

Meh, you can have Obertan's place in our squad. Nothing to lose.

Really have to feel for them, from Pulis to Hughes

Quite baffling how all these stars so vital for their clubs respectively always seem so disjointed and disinterested when playing for England.

Yeah I know I just dont have a great feeling about this transfer window.

Would still prefer him, Sammy and Tavernier to go out on loan for the whole of next season. Somewhere they can get week to week first team action. You could add Abeid and Vuckic to that list too.

Does this mean we aren't getting a striker?

When did we start talking about Van Nistelrooy?

Found this old magazine lying around. Im just fond of this cover, world's greatest player at the time introducing his successor. No ego whatsoever, class act

What about Heskey? He plays for a Newcastle already iirc

Just a rumour. I think if an offer did come in Ashley would stick out for a bit more than that. Wouldnt matter much though if he went for 10M or 25M apart from making our books look better.

I think the fact there were quite a few well known managers free this time around got us hoping a bit, even though we knew the chances of the fat one having enough ambition to try and get one of them were next to none.

You can expect a 'purple' striker and perhaps one or two young prospects realistically. Been reading on a few places about Monaco being interested in Ben Arfa, a 10M bid is being rumored.

I think mentioning the name Wonga a few more times would have helped to drive the point home.

Thanks for clarifying that! You should give Barca a call, they need some physical presence and strength in the air. Tell them about Davies!

We'd still have to get a replacement for him, Perch is not good enough, Bigi isnt ready yet. On the whole we have a weak enough squad as it is, anybody leaving will have to be replaced so I'd rather noone did.

I'd rather have Bramble back than sign Davies.

Reina probably. Fits the height criteria

So Crystal Palace it will be then in the premier league next year. Quite a jackpot as well, they are calling it the 120M game. Zaha looks real quality.

Yeah it doenst work like that Aeris. Like I said we'll be lucky to get anyone interesting in apart from a striker perhaps. And we had better hope its not Carlton Cole!

Never heard of it

Didnt actually bother clicking on it
