Ashley's first Freddie Shepherd moment.

*Leans forward expectantly*

So would I.

Honestly? Why? I have to admit I am a little bit too, but I'm remaining patient and waiting to see what happens in the transfer market.

Harry: And here's the training ground Babayaro: Training ground? I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that term. Harry: It's where we prepare for matches Babayaro: Matches? Harry: You know...football Babayaro: Football? Harry: Nevermind...and here is the injury room. Babayaro: Sweet. Where do I check in and when do they deliver the meals?

I assume the reason is because not many people want to buy a copy of the seasons we finished 13th and so on. Last one was the 05/06 season I think.

I wonder if Ian Wright is proud.

Featured in virginmedia's top 10 most hated clubs. Oddly enough Spurs are absent. http://www.virginmedia.com/sport/football/galleries/most-hated-clubs.php?ssid=9

That was an impressive hijacking then.

Except for the bad publicity.

We should sign him for the lolz. "Ashley-Paul dit al for da dolla"

I'd just like to dedicate a song to all the wummery in this topic:

Maethis would instantly be worth something if all his posts automatically loaded up a Darth Vader voice.

If it doesn't just happen with no media warning then it's a lie.

Yeh beacuse replacing Barry with Bentley is like for like. FFS when are we getting a Dm. Hopefully never.

I can picture George "monkey face" Bush giving a press conference about how the Toon army is massive and we are producing WMD's and have nuclear capability Alan Smith is a WMD. Well a weapon of mass self-destruction.

He didn't get the choice.

Your point being? I would say there is a significant difference in ambition between signing Germany's best player over the last decade and a mid 20's Argentina fringe player. How many times do I/we need to say: it's not about the price of this particular player, it's about a) the level of ambition shown with this transfer and b) our continued underspending on the playing staff. Shall I remind people of our playing staff enforcements in the January transfer window when we were in dire need of some reinforcements: a couple of youngsters and the world renowned Lamine Diatta, whom we've already let go (panic buying anybody?). In the last summer window our income from transfers was higher than our spending. This summer, I hope there will be no hiding place, because this squad can't afford to be further weakened. You're making a fool of yourself. His concerns aren't totally unfounded but I wish he would stop being so hysterical. It really does seem too much to ask for people to wait and see instead of complaining endlessly.

Because Spurs liek footsball.

Your point doesn't even make sense anyway. If you're not sure he's any good, why then complain at the fact he looks like not costing us much? Care to respond to my point about Portsmouth getting an £8m bid turned down for him btw? I'm not on about this particular player. I haven't seen much about him and there is always the small chance that he has just been nothing special until his mid 20's only to become a high class player afterwards. I'm not complaining about this particular player not costing us to much; I hope he has a role to play in our squad, but I will happily admit I AM worried about us chasing targets of this ilk while clubs that we are supposedly competing with are signing players of a much higher pedigree than us at the moment. A while ago we were all laughing at Parky (I believe) for saying we were going to need 100 million to get back in the top four. With the way other clubs are spending money like bever before he may well have been right, and if Ashley thinks he is being smart by lowering our cost structure and getting in players of this level on the cheap I seriously hope it doesn't backfire badly. All in all, I just don't understand all the enthousiasm about this deal. The 8 mill bid by Portsmouth is all paper talk (and we are all to keen these days to discard paper talk as rubbish), and in the end this is a player that we all HOPE will prove to be a good signing, not one any of us was hoping we would sign. In many people's minds he's already our first choice right midfielder: based on what I ask? Quite true. I am a bit underwhelmed by this signing tbh. Did some check on him, correct me if i am wrong, he is not exactly a first choice player in Mallorca. in and out of the first team.also read that gerry armstrong for some reason thinks he is good providing ammunition for Guiza but he only like has 5 assists. hope he can develop when he is here cos he is not that good at Mallorca from what i know. Which is nothing as you've already stated. So shut up and stop moaning.

I'm sure we've acted legally though. Sounds more like Majorca's problem.

Probably in the same world where Jose Enrique is African.
