Central America I think.

I thought Mexico but wasn't sure which side of America they were technically classed as.

The Barca game really wasn't that great of a performance, we were really hanging on by the end and Barca were going through a pretty average phase by their standards at the time. I honestly can't remember that West Ham game that you all keep referring too, I'm pretty sure I went to every home game that season but can't recall that one at all. It was the one where we had something like 40 shots at goal and 25 on target.

We could probably play Harper up front on his own against Spurs and still beat them though.

Unfortunately I can't see that ever working and what's more to the point, I'm pretty sure KK sees that too. Why not? Cos neither one is several inches higher than the other? The partnership has barely been tested; i swear the last time it was tried out was at the end of Roeder's tenure, where he chucked Owen down the left-wing for the remaining twenty minutes of games. Owen has excellent movement, creativity, technique and general intelligence. If Martins' mobility and nouse of where he's meant to be continues to improve like it did do last season, then i see no reason why it shouldn't work. They're both decent in the air too, both good goalscorers. Worth a shot iyam. Last time was when we beat Spurs 3-1.

West Brom did kick him out though didn't they?

The media can quote me on this: http://badera.us/hostedimages/middle-finger.jpg Fuck off and leave us alone.

Feasible? Dunno A good idea? Most definitely.

You'd love it if we pinched him from under their noses though.

Yes[/Arsene Wenger]

Until Modric swoops in and sucks their blood.

Buy another one then go all out to get rid of Ameobi and Smith. Sadly it looks like Ameobi is happy enough to stay put, even when we've supposedly offered him to a few interested clubs for naff all. Can still see us being able to flog Smith though. Cancel his contract if needs be. We don't need any Winston Bogarde's on board.

Might as well throw Spear straight in. Can't be any worse really.

Don't think too much beats Souness' appointment and Sibierski's transfer really.

So he gets paid for every game he doesn't play?

But will always have soft, bouncey hair.

Can we sue Man City for this at least? I demand vengeance.

Fuck sake.

That was the asking price. It's not rocket science mate. An asking price we won't pay.. Skirge, i'll simplify this for you. We bid, they accepted, we were about to tie up the deal when they raised the amount they wanted. I don't think it's a case of penny pinching, it's a matter of principal. I'd rather lose face and get the player in. I can understand why people are annoyed about it but the alternative is to look strong and miss out on the player. That's what it comes down to. agree, if we buy an equally good CB, it's all good.. but in the state that we're in, I somehow doubt that we can attract a better defender than Colo Spot on.

Well Ameobi does score goals...

Well as his agent said it's because we've offered Coloccini "the deal of his life." I'm sure if we penny pinched in contract negotiations he would have never given us a second thought.

2 in 2 weeks isnt that encouraging either Dave. We're still going to be very short of quality and quantity come the start of the season. And now with Viduka missing we can expect to see plenty of Ameobi and Smith. I'm not saying things are looking all brilliant and rosy in our garden (like some think I am). It just makes me laugh how people read 'I'm sure in the next two weeks we will see at least two signings coming in' and only seem to notice 'two signings'. I have to say I've been very patient with the owner and recruitment team so far but if we miss out on Coloccini I'm gonna scream bloody murder. There's only so much we can take before everyone will snap. Jesus wept. If we miss out on Coloccini it is not the boards fault. We agreed a fee, we discussed personal terms, Deportivo upped what they were asking and quite rightly we're refusing to rise to it. That's a pretty low way to go about transfer dealings and I for one am glad we're not folding like we did under Shepherd. We're not going to get a better player than him. We're a mid table club with nothing to offer players at all. If we have to pay over the odds to get him then frankly that's what we need to do.

He can't do that until next summer so we are humongous idiots if that's what we're waiting in hope of.
