To be honest, I reckon he'd only be gutted about losing Owen, and even then, as long as he can bring his own men in he'll be fine. The board need to back him though, be it through contacts or new signings. I'm sure they will do though, as they've now spoken about contracts for all of these three

For the record, we tried to sign Boumsong on a free too. We competed with liverpool and Rangers, and he decided he wanted to go to Scotland. I feel the "we paid Rangers over £8 million for player who had moved to them a few months earlier for nothing" is irrelevant.

Hope he is right about that bit I'd rather Taylor joined Gardner at Spurs tbh Thanks We can do much better than both Taylor and Gardner, and I really hope Keegan sees that too.

Oh yes Fucking hate the transfer window. Makes for threads like this appearing every three minutes.

Fairly pathetic iyam. Oh well, guess it's just me. What do you mean by "even gol"? EDIT: We signed Luque because he was offered to us, to stop Barca or Real getting him. This came after we pulled out of a deal for Boa Morte because they wanted a million more than we valued him at. No idea what that has got to do with this thread though.

Exactly what I thought when I read it. Shit, me too Not gonna happen. Bidding war officially started.

I fancy Chelsea or Liverpool to win it now tbh

Everyone HAS to love Messi, like everyone HAS to hate Ronaldo.

almost the whole team was s**** bevore KK took over... not just Owen or Butt! Undoubtedly, but they were two of the worst, particularly Butt. I can't remember Owen ever being one of the worst players in the team tbh. Butt was shocking though. Really? When Owen wasn't scoring, he was contributing nothing at all & missing what few chances were coming his way. Just surprises me that they have as many votes as they do, compared to the rest of the team who they were no better than. I think it's because everyone is basing it on Keegan's team. I'd really struggle to think of one player who deserved it under Allardyce.

Now I've seen the teams I think Man United will struggle. Hargreaves at right back?? Massive loss in midfield IMO.

That's the LAST thing Dynamo Zagreb would want! They'll be wanting to keep him before then, because if he has a good Euro 2008, they can expect a few million more than what he's really worth. They've been desperate to start this bidding war for months though. Perhaps they're worried he'll have a shit tournament?

My whooshes aren't really working tonight are they.

who was that? Dunno. Silvio Maric. Oh right, cheers.

Anyone else think Duff might start?

who was that? Dunno.

Scholes does play, as well as Park.

No news from my ITK. Probably just means it will actually happen

He's been shit since he left us (agree though)

Haven't Liverpool already claimed to have signed him? Or did I imagine that?

I think I've only seen one West Ham match all season. Are they never on TV?

Lucky for us we got Luque then. Or we could have signed Anelka along with Owen, and forgot the other two. Ahhh, hindsight. We should have signed all 4. Increases the chances of 2 of them being any good

Souness wanted Anelka though, it was Shepherd who was left to sign the players and he failed to land him. He wanted Anelka and Boa Morte. When both bids were refused he came out with the "Newcastle will not be held to ransom by anyone anymore" comments. The sad thing is, we only needed to increase our bid for Boa Morte by £1m to get him, and he wanted to come.

Zamora and Sears played last week. Ashton and Zamora the match before.
