Nasri. Gem of a player.

What are the Premier League rules on names on shirts? Can it be anything? We had this debate in the thread about him

Why would they want to sell him? Just signed Ben Haim so Richards at right back? Richards in midfield probably. Ben Haim and Dunne at the back. New, proper right back instead of playing a rotating collection of centre backs there. That wouldn't make any sense, they've got money to burn out of their arse and they're selling one of their best players because they got Ben Haim? And they're going to push their best defender into midfield... They haven't got money to burn at all. Thaksin has hardly spent f*** all and Jo, his only big signing, is costing them buttons in the short term, paid on the drip over several years. Richards has played midfield before- they need a defensive midfielder and don't have the money to buy anyone good. Edit- and why would Ben Haim leave Chelsea's bench for City's? He'll be going there to play every week. Apparently Corluka all agreed at £6.8m subject to a medical. Irrespective of whether City have got money or not, I'm surprised they would be selling a good player they got last summer at a loss for no good reason. He has proved himself able in the Premier League after all. Kicking off in the City forums......................... Did you ever find out who the two medicals were booked for by the way?

They're both still burning a huge hole in our resources. I know that, but all the same we've had 2 months to sort the problem and here we are still with it. And it's a bloody serious one What if the budget isn't there? Why isn't it there? We've got a small enough squad! Speculate to accumulate. As entered in two different threads. If Alan Smith stays for the remaining 4 years of his contract we will pay hime £10.4 million Shola has shown how difficult it is to get highe earners to leave. £10m would give us a huge amount of leverage to work with Which is exactly why running a football club just like a business doesn't work. You can't say that we're not signing a new striker because one of our shit players will cost us £10.4m over the next 4 years! The teams at the top are there because they sign players when they need them. Does it bother Man United and Liverpool that they owe so much money? Does it bother Chelsea that their money is coming from a billionaire owner rather than "recovered" funds? Fuck it, let's stop bringing players in until we sell everyone we don't want.

Is this a re-hashed Bernard story?

For crying out loud man, read the previous page. He's flying over today to finish the deal. Some sources say have medical, others say he literally just needs to sign the papers. It's from the Official Deportivo Magazine. Yeah, but why isn't he already wearing a Newcastle shirt? Why isn't he in the team already? Why hasn't he scored for us yet?!!! Goddammitt!

A quick trip to . . er . . . INDIA, perhaps?? I'm thinking a night in Magaluf personally Signing a striker?

stjamestoon is maetihs I take it?

Toontastic have been using a countdown clock for ages now. Someone needs to ask them how they did it ;)

Mate, I was relying on you to tell us the exact detail.

Roberto or Dino?

Owen. Needs a poll though.

We paid less for Luque than what both Barca and Real Madrid offered for him, so wouldn't read too much into that. When did the put bids in for him? THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION Depo OFFERED Luque to us because they didn't want him go to either of the two big clubs in Spain. Wish I could post some proof of that, but you'll just have to trust me.

Perhaps if we were linked with a couple of strikers and a creative midfielder more people would be fooled into getting a season ticket?

He is better than Gallas though.

Ameobi's gonna play a lot of games for us this season, I'm certain of it. There's little chance we're even looking at strikers in this transfer window.

Having Spiderman AND superman in the same team would be mint

Is it Richard Dunne again?

That's quite hard to read tbh

How will that help?

Chelsea winning the league depends very much on whether Drogba is sold and replaced. I think he, or his replacement will win the league for them. If he goes, they look very very weak up front.

They cancelled the deal once Barton got sentenced to time in jail though. Neither keane or Diouf did time.
