If that is true and West Ham don't own his registration, how the fuck can they not be penalised and deducted points? I'm totally confused with all this hoo-ha. I can't believe, for one second, that W.Ham own Tevez. West Ham have never owned either Tevez or Macherano, They are both owened by Joorabchin who was in pole position to buy the hammers until magnessun stepped but by then the deal was done for the players and they were paraded before the media so it was too late to pull the plug. Everyone knew it was fishy but the FA did, well FA. It`s going to be interesting to see what happens when Tevez leaves, who get the £20m, I would bet its not West Ham then that goes to prove shady dealings have been done in which case ta ta West Ham, how funny, Parker playing in the championship along with the other players they have paid over the odds for

Former Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder has issued a withered riposte in the direction of Sam Allardyce, following the new man's claim it could take five years before he delivers success at St James' Park. Upon his arrival in the North East, Allardyce's mantra has been one of patience, urging the club's success-starved supporters not to have too high expectations of his team. Allardyce has not been shy with his view that the club's playing staff needs a major overhaul and he has already set about doing just that, with four high-profile signings, while seven players have been culled. Roeder, though, believes Allardyce is levelling criticism at those that managed before him as a defence mechanism, creating a shield from the ire that may come his way should he not bring the silverware the club craves. "It's a sad excuse for Sam to ask the fans to be patient while he builds the team for the next five years," Roeder told the Daily Mirror. "I think the supporters of Newcastle United will be angry at being asked to be patient. All they have ever done is show patience. "Big Sam says he's aiming for a top-six finish in five years, but they should be finishing in the top six next season without any problems. "He's already been able to strengthen the squad in a way that wasn't available to me, so I'm not sure quite what else he needs to get them into the top six. "Instead, he's making his excuses before a ball has even been kicked. The truth is that he hasn't got any excuses for not finishing in the top six. "He's made criticisms of panic buys at the club but I'll stand by my record on that. Obafemi Martins was an outstanding success, Antoine Sibierski was the best free transfer of the season and the fans will see the best of Damien Duff when he recovers from injury. "Saying it's a five-year job would be too much for most Newcastle fans. He doesn't have the right to ask them to be patient." Roeder has warned Allardyce that he will not be awarded the luxury of patience indefinitely and, should he fail to deliver, then a ready-made replacement is waiting in the wings. "The other problem Sam has is that he and every other new manager will live under the shadow of Alan Shearer, who is the fans' favourite son and rightly so," he added. "Shearer will not wait for ever to manage the club. He was supportive of me last year and he could see that a rebuilding job had to be done. "There will come a time when he will want to manage the club, and in those circumstances Sam can ask for five years - but I don't think he'll get that long." What qualifies Roeder to lectuer anyone on how to run a football team. Has he forgotten what he did last year. WANKER

Fat ginger spaz. Never saw him play one decent game. I doubt he will do anything in the championship either

If BS keeps him you can be assured he will deliver, look at what he did with some of the players at bolton, Okocha,Campo,djorkaev etc and Luque is still the right side of 30, his problem was that Roeder didnt like him and wouldnt play him so his confidence was shot

I would rather have hungry players with something to prove rather than so called names who cost big money,demand huge wages and produce jack. I think we will see a vast improvement in Emre and I wouldnt be surprised to see BS getting a lot from Luque

I dont think he`s fat but I would wager his dome weighs more than Kieron Dyer.

Bloody hell, I`ve just seen an interview with Viduka on SSN. That boy has got one seriously big head on him, he must have a neck like tyson to keep that thing up. Our wingers should`nt have a proplem hitting him with crosses thats for sure

In fairness to him tho` he did play with bloody Sibierski (god I hated him) who wasnt even a striker and couldnt get a place in a shitty city side. Then being played with Dyer in possibly the shortest strike force in premier league history plus being managed by Roeder!!!

I think he`s worth keeping considering what he brings to the table. Lightening pace and one hell of a shot. BS will work on his touch and movements (stop getting offside) as he could give most players 5 yards start and still piss all over them. I reckon he will hit 25 goals this season, if fit.

Croatian striker has signed for Arsenal so hopefuly they will shut the f**k up about taking our OBA now

Gudjohnsen for £4.5m?? Seems awful cheap to me, I reckon add a couple of mill on top but it would still represent a great deal.

Dyer as a replacement for Lampard.........I`ve just wet myself.

I think its a step in the right direction compared to some of our previous signings(under Roeder). He looked a decent full back at chelsea which is where I think BS will use him plus he has the option of slotting into midfield in the event of injuries.I dont think there is any hope of Bridge joining us but I would like to see Baines & Young, neither of which should need much persuading considering their present clubs.

No great loss there, may give Luque or Zog a fair crack then.

Preperation,preperation,preperation. Some of the players will not know what has hit them and the slackers will stick out by a mile, truth time!!

Isnt it great to have a manager who actually knows what he is doing. Having a plan and signing decent players. A refreshing change from the previous two clueless idiots who sat in the chair.Cant wait for the new season

He will be too soft for the prem, see what he`s like after a few hard knocks. ala morientes. Waste of money dumb scouse-yanks

Why do we want to sign a midfielder with a poor injury record, dont we have enough crocks?

Without being silly and getting carried away what would be your prefered line-up for the Bolton game, Here is mine Given Geremi Tayls Rozenhall Baines/Shorey Butt Milner Barton Emre Martins Luque/Gudjohnson Viduka Subs Zog Duff Owen Dyer Hunty I think this is a tasty line up and would put the shits up a lot of defences, I think BS will make a proper player out of Luque

Less than two weeks wages for Owen, hard to believe. Considering that Celtic are the only club showing an interest we should get him if BS wants to. I also liked the look of Ryan Babel Seriously where did the figure of 200k come from? There iss no way in hell he'd be available for that after winning the golden boot at the Euro U21s! Still worth a punt even for a few million. # Sky Sports and Teletext

I cant believe we would sign a crocked player who has suffered a recurring knee injury, can see it

Less than two weeks wages for Owen, hard to believe. Considering that Celtic are the only club showing an interest we should get him if BS wants to. I also liked the look of Ryan Babel

I think the Eidur deal has a good chance as he knows BS from his Bolton days before he was flogged to Chelski

Are we going to by Viduka from ourselves? No, we are going to look at what players Boyo wouldn't mind seeing paying alongside each other next season. . Is that Rigters any good? I didn't see any of the u21's. He was top scorer and looked quick. Its worth a punt for 200 grand

Rigters is a good shout, especially as the fee is reported to be £200k. He look good at the u21 finals. Look what happend last year with injuries and lets face it Viduka and Owen are quite prone to injury and we were woefully short up front
