We need both tbh. And a right back, and a striker.... Which is sad really when you consider we've already bought a right back

I disagree. We badly need midfielders who can run and not get blown over by the wind. Will give us the chance to ship some of the shit out too.

He'll bring the black power to our midfield. It is sadly lacking at the moment. We probably have the whitest (and therefore the slowest and weakest ) midfield in the Premiership.

Let's ask that Dassier bloke from Marseille. He probably knows.

Says our bid was rejected there!

Somehow I feel Dennis Wise would have signed Arevalo. Perhaps in connection with that dodgy agent.

You could do this with any player, chairman, manager, pundit or journalist in football though. It's bullshit to criticise Hughton for what he's been saying. He's in a no-win situation. Hughton is doing a very difficult job. He's been told not to talk about deals (probably on pain of death knowing Ashley), the club are extremely paranoid about the press and he's got to get on trying to placate the hacks, manage a football team and source potential signings on a budget of f*** all. Exactly, and no surprise that journos are having a go at him, the club has already stated they won't be giving anything away on transfers. That's understandable though. He's making their jobs harder so naturally they're gonna turn on him. To be fair I don't take Bird's statement as a sign they're turning on him. No but it does show a sense of frustration that they can't get any juicy information out of him.

I imagine Dassier laughing like Rex Banner in the Simpsons.

We do like signing players who aren't available to play for quite a while.

His rap skills aren't quite what he was hoping for.

That would be a definite Nelson "ha ha" moment.

So in other words Ben Arfa isn't sexy enough for his tastes?

Marseille supposedly buying Gignac and Remy. Werder buying some Brazillian guy called Wesley as Ozil's replacement. Nothing but speculation regarding Ben Arfa.

We would be cutting off our nose to spite our face. If they have to sell a player to get him in then they should do it. Nobody wants our players. That's why we have them. Allardyce + £100m = Theoretical Cha-ching!

Or he should simply sack Llambias and bring in someone who has a clue how to deal with transfers... Does Llambias even deal with all of our transfers? A good question is who actually does deal with the transfers? That used to be the infrastructure's job but they were all sacked as a reaction to the protests in our relegation season.

The 365 makes me think that site isn't very reliable. Doesn't really say anything sources weren't saying yesterday either.

Title update?

Where is that from? The past.

No wonder we're poor then.

No it doesn't. If it was he would have poached N'Zogbia from us years ago.

Except it came from a source that make up their rumours.
