Shut the fuck up man. Its not an english exam.

Can someone explain what the whole thing is all about?

Listen i do actually think the alot of what FMA is doing is good for the club. I do also think many things he has done have been unmitigated disasters. However if we have a good summer and he shows his intent and its proven to be good, im happy for us to continue with him. UNTIL........An oil soaked stinking rich arab billionaire comes in a makes us his play toy.

The worlds a better place!

Of course all of this is going to aid the ST sales but i think its somewhat cynical to beleive its put into the media solely to drive the sales. I genuinly beleive we are in the market with real intent and purpose.

The smart money is on you and CT looking stupid from now to September, and beyond tbf. I don't know how many times Mike Ashley needs to slap the pair of you across the face with his cock before you finally come to your senses. Bang on the money. Your name can go on the list too. In fact your probably the biggest prick on that list. At least LM, HF and Gemmil are deserving of a little respect...you however are a complete wank bucket.

I'm not really sure at the moment but I'm sure I'll deliver a line up when I know who we've got! I would love to see us make some big signings in the ilk of Gervinho & Gamerio but either would be major coups considering the position of the club. Absolutely but not beyond us and it seems we do have a good chance.

Just wait and see. Im actually sick of this debate.....you wont change my opinion nor will i change yours. Thats the beauty of life, everyones different. All i know is id rather be happy, positive and optimistic all the time with the chance of occasionally being let down and dissapointed rather than doom, gloom, pessimistic, cynical and negative all the time with the outside chance of being suprised and delighted occasionally. Must be an age thing.

So as it stands with a fully fit squad and Cabaye.....how would you line up then Tom?

Haha my bad. That actually poses a real headache. Do you drop Jonas or Barton? Do you start Cabaye? Whe would Gervino fit in? I think if Enrique and Barton went it would be a much easier decision. Maybe even for the better........ ---Krul--- Simpson---S.Taylor---Coloccini---Mbengue ---Cabaye---Tiote--- Jonas------Ben Arfa------Gervinho ---Gameiro--- That is a pretty outstanding side imho. Subs: Forster, Williamson, NEW R/LB, Larsson, Nolan, Ba and NEW ST.

Bergkamp, Cantona and Beckham before him but definitely up there.

It was one of the worst days of my life when we signed Shearer Dont be a dick HF....im tryin to actually have a decent debate with you and you like many others revert to pathetic sarcasm rather than discussin the opinion. Shearer was a trophy signing and was fantastic.....what about Luque? Boumsong? Smith? Owen? to name but a few. To say you're glad we aren't in a position to make "trophy" signings is daft though. Isn't that the position we all want to be in? Some people running clubs in the past have got into the position to do so and then made the mistake of maintaining the spending but not the position. We aren't in a position to make trophy signings, and I'm not advocating it. Just that we give the manager the money he's been able to generate from sales as a minimum, and that he's able to keep the players he wants that are currently on our books and don't have to layout any funds for. No...When did i say i dont want us to be in "that position"? I said i am happy we arent in that game anymore where we splash huge amounts on money because it looks good, because it shows ambition. Id actually say more "trophy signings" flop than cheaper "bargain basement" signings as LM would put it. I agree that whatever money is brough it from sales should be made available to spend plus a yearly amount out of FMA pocket but it if it not possible its not possible. In our case it is possible but why go a blow it all just because we can and because some annoying wrinkley on here thinks thats the only way to show ambition? Fuck off man. Spend what needs to be spent...if you can get that quality in cheaper then great. Are you going to spend £100 on a pair of jeans from a popular shop because its the done thing or would you buy the same jeans cheaper elsewhere if you could?

What would your perfect summer be? Jose, Barton and Nolan signing new deals. Ranger out on loan. Smith, Perch and Lovenkrands sold. Cabaye, Gervinho, Gameiro, Ba, Larsson another ST and cover for LB/RB. ---Krul--- Simpson---S.Taylor---Coloccini---Enrique Barton---Cabaye---Tiote---Jonas ---Ben Arfa--- -----Gameiro----- Subs: Forster, Williamson, NEW RB/LB, Larsson, Nolan, Ba and NEW ST. Back up: Harper, Kadar, Tavernier, Guthrie, Gosling, R.Taylor, Lua-Lua, Ferguson, Vuckic, Shola, Best and Airey.

Absolutely. Where as we are optimistic we are realistic too. Other are negative and unrealistic in their expectations. LM is one. There is many others.

Good. I always hated the ginger fuck.

£60 win and your £40 back? Well done!

Nice work bud!

Personally HF i think Barton and Nolan will stay and we have an outside chance of Jose accepting this new deal. If that is the case and we bring in those players then it is MASSIVE progression. That 26.5mil is only 3 players anyway HF...i expect is to get a few more in as well tbh. Point is....we SHOULD be spending in excess of 35mil but the actual figure is irrelevant. If we improve with quaity is doesnt matter how much is spent really. LM still expects trophy signings and i for one am happy we arent in that game no more.

There ya go fella...great call! How much? Game over now. Griffen is a tool.

Just £35? You were raped mate. Thats 12 pints........it would take 1000's of pints to fuck a kidney.

Good stuff Cabaye 4.5, Gervinho 10mil, Gameiro 12mil...theres 26.5mil already. Even if we dont get the latter two id imagine we'd be going in for other player of similar ilk and value. Easy. We might get 8mil for Jose and 4mil for Barton. That alone is still a net spend of 14.5mil. If you're happy that Ashley is pocketing the Carroll £35m it is anyway. I respect you and your general knowledgable opinions but i just dont get this. If we improve our squad and bring in quality what does it matter? And this notion of FMA "pocketing" money is bollocks and i though you of all people would understand that. The money is still in the club.

Its only a net loss of 25p dont worry about it

Your a smart lad Tom...and net spend is a net spend.
