McLeish going to Villa would go down like a shit sandwich I'd imagine. I could only compare it to Souness from our point if view.

Asamoah Gyan. £8m buyout clause. You heard it here first etc.

Sow.

Proper scally.

I'm still flabbergasted by the fact we have a striker who is even worse at playing the offside trap than Shola. Best plays off the shoulder, Shola wanders around. Pretty much, Best's offsides are usually from trying to get into a goal scoring position. With Shola its random It's not random. It's a lack of intelligence. The amount of times he caught offside and he just grins like a gormless idiot as if it's some kind of novelty really annoys me.

For fuck's sake.

Nope. Bit amateurish like. I think I could have paid the full whack over the phone but not the direct devote.

Zip it Deborah.

Can't afford to be too picky tbh. He's better than what we've got currently and costs nothing. He's going to want a canny wage which is fair enough, the only issue is his fucked knee but the club obviously know about it and would presumably put something into the contract to prevent us getting burned on the deal.

They're clearly on the bones if their seer if that's all they can muster up. Would never say the deal won't go through but they'd need to triple it before it would even be considered. Part ex for Cole could be a goer maybe?

They need to send the direct debit mandates out through the post, they couldn't do it over the phone. They told me it would be 8 payments of about 70 notes. My seat is reserved until they receive the completed forms.

All the cool kids sit in block M of the Gallowgate. Fact.

Bidding war.

If Henderson going for £20m is the benchmark this summer then Baines is worth more. Much better footballer. I'd even wager that Baines would be a better CM than Henderson is right now.

If he doesn't want to play for us (and why should he, given he's got absolutely no connection with the club at all?) then I wouldn't really want him here. He's clearly a very good player but if he wants to play in a different league then fair play to him. No need for the hostility and move on to someone who wants to be up here. No harm done in going for him.

This is what I don't understand. If England were dominating football at international level I could see why all these players cost so much, but they're average. Million miles off the likes of Spain and Brazil. If anything it's a negative thing on the English game. These ridiculous prices are putting far too much pressure on young, inexperienced lads from day 1, and if they don't do the business from the off their confidence is shot and the press turn on them. More English players should play abroad, it would do them the world of good. Would you move your family abroad to work for less money? They stay because the English clubs pay the big money.

Given that he's been on international duty since it was first announced, I'd say so. Must be a complete coincidence then. Looks a cracking player from what I've seen like.

Is it cynical of me to think the Cabaye signing has been arranged to happen on the very day that season tickets go on general sale tomorrow?

Andy Carroll's mam.

Clichy's obviously their Plan B. Enrique's staying.

Rossi's a canny player now too.

Don't really give a toss what he's been up to tbh. Not really our business and my giveashitometer has barely moved.

Nee stink without shite mate. It's been McLaren nailed on, Rafa nailed on, Martinez nailed on today. Tomorrow it'll be three more randomly chosen names. You hope...

Nee stink without shite mate.

This is going absolutely fucking nowhere lads.
