One proven striker in this league, I would be shitting myself tbh. I'm not convinced by Pavlychenko. He seemed to need five or six chances in the Euro chmapionships before he put one away.

Compared to what we need it's not an amazing haul but if you look at the likes of Everton we've done fucking well.

Danny B shouldn't be allowed to get on his high horse about strikers, considering they've only got two

Even if we don't get anyone else after Nacho and Xisco it's been a fair transfer window IMO. I'd prefer another midfielder and a left back but i'll take what we've been given.

I believe they produce a collectable magazine series where the teach players the ropes. Issue one comes with a free DVD teaching them how to kiss the badge.

Jim White has just read out a text from his good pal Joey Barton live on air He's not leaving because he feels he owes the club and the fans after putting them through so much.

"And yes! Sky Sports News sources are confirming that tomorrow will be a Tuesday! What a turn up for the books that would be! Stay tuned to Sky Sports for more information on whether the day after will be a Wednesday. More information as we get it!"

He'll be here in a minute. Stay Frosty Frosties all round. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat

I'd go for it personally since I rate Diarra very highly. I can see why the club may not want to risk it, seeing as we'll get him for 6 months before he fucks off to another club.

Shouldn't Parky be coming along soon to tell us to stay frosty?

The Ashley Cole deal wasn't done until 3-4am in the morning IIRC.

You can't predict late bids.

It's been confirmed by the club. I'd like to think they're too busy finishing off other deals to even think of updating the website yet. Id hope the people in charge of the website are the ones responsible for signing players! OUR club havnt confirmed it but id imagine we are waiting for his registration. We have. The BBC wouldn't dream of running with it if it wasn't a done deal. Just because the website hasn't been updated doesn't mean it's not done.

Don't worry about it Welcome

David Craig just said Anal Oliver has his finger on the pulse

Xisco on his way according to Marca/Depor forum/Spanish radio.

I heard the same rumour on Saturday by text, and I posted it in code on this very thread. You've found me guilty of not reading through threads twice now in half an hour. I should be ashamed. You can be forgiven for skipping any rumours posted by Stevie after the whole Leighton Baines saga I'm still waiting on my money. How much did I say I'd pay you? £50 if the Baines thing was untrue IIRC

Bitter whore. Probably still seething after watching her side get hammered the'day.

I can't agree with that. Valencia have only just signed him so they're not going to want to get rid already. They're obviously farming him out to us because he has more chance of football and we get the benefit of having an extra player on our books at very little risk. I'm sure that if he's great for us they'll be happy to get rid and make a tidy profit unless their situation changes drastically. If he's shite then we send him back and lose nothing. Fuck Valencia and what they want. Suppose he's class, and our game revolves around them, then that's ripped apart when we can't sign him next summer. If we're building for the future surely that means keeping players for longer than a year?!?! I like your attitude but it's not realistic now, is it? It's a risk worth taking. If he is that good then I imagine we'll pull out all the stops to get him and Valencia will be inclined to sell him on if they're making a profit.

It's bullshit that they are trying to slash the wage bill man. They are trying to streamline the club from a buiness perspective but they know for a fine fact they'll have to pay the going rate to get anywhere. If it's true about Owen's new contract offer of 120k then this would be proof they aren't slashing the wage bill. I'd imagine it is, what with there being a club statement to confirm it

Uruguayan Lampard then?

Happy birthday
