Something that never seemed to happen, for whatever reason. Maybe their ideas of the 'the right price' where too far apart, or maybe Keegan forgot about this principle and wanted Ashley to spend big straight away. Or perhaps he just wanted a left back. He did publicly state a left back was his top priority at the start of the summer. He walked becasue he couldnt get a left back? As an example of a broader principle. We needed a left back and our director of recruitment failed to deliver, preferring to spend what little cash was available on Xisco. We also needed a striker. Especially now!

England > France

Another right back? There's a joke somewhere about having a cunt for a manager....

This. The thing is I like Tevez, but Saviola is a better goal scorer and much more polished overall. Tevez is quality but sometimes has a tendency to slip into a bit of a captain caveman mode. Too much cowabunga and not enough guapa. You wumming here Kaka? Spouting things like this will only mean people stop reading your otherwise good posts.

We didn't need another striker? Are you mad?

I like Gelson. Gets all over the pitch like you couldn't imagine breaking stuff up. In posession he distributes the ball well with short simple passes, nothing too overcomplicated. Very good player who is easy to overlook because he doesn't do anything too flash. That's like how Arsenal fans rate Taylor. Man City think Gelson is gash.

I see Hull signed an England international this week. It's not like every club in the league is doing it is it.

Why would it bother you if Given went there and didn't play?

Yes, we should be in for him, he's impressed me whenever I've seen him. He reminds me of Butt back in his pomp (the season before the 2002 WC and of course that World Cup). Man City fans think he's garbage. We were linked with him before Sven bought him, and I seem to remember him saying he'd prefer a move to a bigger club in the Premier League than us.

Kinnear looking for another Irish homey? Keane and Owen swap? Cash plus Owen and we could have him I reckon. Player would turn it down, surely.

Am I allowed to mention that someone might have a drink and gambling addiction? Obviously I wouldn't name names, or state it as a fact

News from Man City is that the only thing holding up the Given deal is their lack of desire to include Johnson in the deal. They feel they can get more for him if they just sell him. We're digging our heals in and refusing to let Given go unless we get him in return.

Er, no. Hull? In the North-East? Depends if you class Yorkshire as being North. Where else would you put it?

Who was it who suggested everyone could stick a £1 in each and buy the club?

After years of paying for it, I'm finally getting rid of Sky.

Eh? If you spend £10 before it comes in it means going £10 into debt. When you get the money back it means you have £0. What point are you trying to make?

He's not worth that much. Man City are always going to have that problem though.

Santa Cruz will sign for Man City for £16m as soon as Blackburn have a replacement.

4 1/2 year contract.

have you read the figures?? how can ashley take a dividend when he is financing the running of the club at the moment??? company directors take dividends out of loss making companies all the time. Havent you seen the news recently? yes public company where they don't use there own money at all to buy the club etc the figures show ashley is keeping the club alive with his own cash, so why would he take money out then He hasnt put any money in, hes lent the club £100m. He's not eating. That's just a pie in his mouth.

Wow, Spurs have bought some shit Not that we're buying anyone like, but still.

De Jong's currently undergoing his Citeh medical. Should be annouced this afternoon.

He didn't want the 1st or 3rd managers to be fair like.
