wot sorry, i meant, what number is cabaye wearing? do you think that it will be his number? See? Easy isn't it?

Cut that shit out ffs.

Doesn't matter what he says tbh. After the pledges he made about Carroll, people wouldn't believe him anyway.

Pulled up. If he came off early enough it's probably only about a week or 2. Could have been worse.

What happened to Guthrie? Was it a tackle or did he just pull a groin/calf/hammy or something?

He needs to do the honourable thing and slap a formal transfer request in if he's that unhappy. It'll make his move that little bit easier to sort out. Can see this one from both sides tbh.

Lets qualify for Europe first, eh?

And we're off.

Here we go. How many bites this time?

Still maintain he's had no intention of signing regardless of anything the club does. He had his head turned in Jan/Feb and will go sooner rather than later imo. There's no rush for him as if he doesn't make the move to a CL club this summer then he can walk into a better contract in 10 months time.

It's the 'get out of jail free' card for owners/chairmen. They can resist all bids but once that request goes in and the player publically states 'I don't want to be here' then he's persona non grata. The fans never take the player's side and he gets his move without the owner/chairman losing face.

Infeasible, impractical, unworkable, illogical and other nasty adjectives.

N'Zogbia in presumably then? £10m (ish) and an extra £10m to strengthen the squad out a bit? Given apparently is going to happen. I hope N'Zogbia comes in. To be honest, had i been offered the chance of a straight swap of N'Zogbia for Downing, I'd have gone for it. We need a left back, as we can't trust Warnock to get his head right, and something in the centre of defence, I think. Decent business. Buy Zog and Given and still have a bit left over for a decent LB or CH.

Liverpool agree fee of £20m with Villa for Downing.

Didn't something similar happen to Kluivert a while back?

No idea why it was locked.

If it's all legit and Chelsea come up with a big enough number then he's gone. Can't see Ashley putting up much of a fight to keep him at all. Cash in the bank, that's all that matters.

Modric handing in a request might just tip the scales. I know Levy is adamant that Modric isn't going anywhere but he's already said he wants to play for Chelsea, handing in a transfer request saying he, officially, doesn't want to be at Spurs any more would make his position pretty much untenable with the fans imo.

How vexed does Woodgate look to have washed up at Stoke of all places. Complete disdain on his face as he's asked to hold the shirt up. Absolute cockend considering he can't cross the fucking street without pulling a hamstring. Wanker.

Really? If we get £3 million for him not signing N'Zogbia becomes even more silly IMO. It's an aspirational target tbh. Anything over £2m would be pretty good.

Bidding 'war'. Leicester winning. £2.7m

It doesn't really take much staff tbh. The Neil Taylor twist will probably be a rehash of the ideas mooted on this site of a possible swap deal between Taylor and Routledge. How many staff members does it take to read a forum? 1. The idiot being paid good money to re-hash what they find. Easiest job in the world. You've just got to be a cunt to be in the job in the first place.

Writing speculation? Guessing? Piece of piss. Anyone with a 'C' in English could do their job.

Every player is for sale at the right price. Don't give a f*** what your ITKs have agreed. If Modric goes Bale and VDV would follow very quickly after. If Modric goes in this window I'll happily give £100 to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, I've done that before but, on this occasion, I don't think I'll be donating anything. I'm very confident. Just bumping this after seeing Chelsea have reportedly offered circa £27m for him. Got it fully recorded below. Not looking unlikely! Not got sigs on. In a way I hope he does stay rather than Chelsea hoovering up more talent from the clubs trying to catch them.
