Granted. Now fuck off. joke btw.

Barton to the mackems for a million quid!

Routledge coming back?

The only outgoing transfer that would surprise me is Shola.

Draw seemed about right from what I saw. Same old same old. Lacked urgency and a bit of passion. Slow tempo and conceding space and time to 'inferior' players. Need to get at teams early and rattle them.

Milner needs shooting for that. Hart will cop most of the flack but Milner let him down big time.

Aye the 16 is probably a joint fee for the pair of them. Probably 11 and 5 or thereabouts. Looking promising but they've not signed yet.

Piece in the Guardian about Joe Cole and Milan Jovanovic earning £100k and £120k a week respectively at Liverpool. Also, the scousers are scheduled to pay the remaining £4.4m of the Aquilani transfer by the end of the month, bringing the total fee to £17.6m.

They're Barcelona and they'll do what they want.

Told you we should have erased him Dave.

the world cup was probably the most deciding factor if you ask me, the wages a nice bonus. Maybe he thought he could preform for a year here then move on to one of the title challengers after a successful world cup, I seem to recall rumours of a release clause at the time We were just a means to an end for him. He was only ever interested in playing for England and Sven made it clear he would only be selected if he was playing/starting regularly. We were his only option at the time.

Lucky Germans win it in the last minute. Gomez again.

Show Pony.

he moved to us because we could offer him the first team football Real couldn't in the run up to the World Cup. I dare say the £133k a week didn't harm either like.

Diet Krauts equalise.

Germany one up in the Teutonic derby. Gomez.

Nice thought but totally not true, professional footballers don't get their full whack of pay if they fail to make the starting XI. Think Wullie means he'd have to play regularly if those 3 got injured and he'd be found out. Nothing to d with collecting all of his wages.

Now there's a shout. Never even considered that.

Spurs getting shot of Gomes is fantastic business, even better if they've convinced someone to give them some money for him. Not sure how Friedel will cope but, for all his faults, he's still a far more solid and consistent keeper.

By rights he should sign for Arsenal. That's the common sense move for him. I hope he comes here but if he goes to Arsenal then we can't complain really.

Settle down? He said fuck off i die for no reason. Aye and you called him a cunt. Just calm down eh?

Settle down lads.

You sign any player and chances are they'll miss as many games in a season due to injury and/or suspension. At least with this you know precisely when you're going to be missing said player. Exactly. I can understand the reservations from Pardew but it should never stop you from signing a quality player. It didn't stop them signing Tiote, did it?

that team would just be stupidly good. Took about 10 minutes to decide who would partner Baresi, the rest picked itself tbh. Went for Costacurta (not strictly the best CH admittedly) because the pair of them worked so well together. Still couldn't find space for Sammer, Henry, CRonaldo, Zico etc... Great thread though.

Considering the timings of the 3rd and 4th rounds of the FA Cup, the chances are that if he signs a 5 year deal then he'll miss about 3 league games in Jan 2012 and the same again in 2013. Who gives a shit? Get the twat in.
