madras

too in and outy. goes long spells of being ordinary then being world class and often rounds off 90mins of little with a qulaity strike. (his performance at SJP last season was a lesson in how to play the support striker/attacking midfielder role..........if he turned in more of those he'd be in there)

Never enough goal clips on here to help settle a debate are there? i was going to quote it aswell to give dave more work.

Nobody said it was worth that. Well it's heading that way. 18m for Bassong, 8m for Beye, then there's that 'world class' Argentinian International worth 8m, throw in another 12m for Taylor and Enrique. 8m for beye ? has tooj been giving you cakes ?

northern,brunswick,tweed....any link here ?

LOL thanks for the laff.. needed it. And why the f*** are Madrid selling him anyway? The guy's immense. hasn't had the best of seasons in spain.

No. Never in a million years. Not having that. like flogging a car. you ask for more than it's worth knowing the buyer will try to knock the price down.

oh dearie dearie me

what if bassong would rather go to spurs even if they are outbid by citeh ?

Or how many really good players there are these days? i'd agree with the former comment

That's the trend, been looking over where past youths have gone and most end up in none league (Newcastle Blue Star, Blyth, Gateshead), or League 2 at a push. Only been a few youth products make it much higher, and even then those are from the 'early' years so shouldn't really count as football was different then. Gazza Waddle Watson Clarke Elliott Howey basham

what is world class ? if it is a player who would get into a worlds best team then what if there is a dearth of qulaity in a certain position (imo all defensive positions at the moment). i may be raising the bar here but i'll class "world class" as those who wouldn't be out of place with the best. if messi continues with his form he will be,ronaldo has the talent and arshavin will be very interesting to watch now he is on a bigger stage.

we missed him at the orient game.

aye and nar

just don't go for the dog or the dowie...............so passe and done.

Could be . . a difficult one . . . er . . . "because we aren't really a Championship Club" . . . ? ? ? nah. i've seen this seasons fixtures and we are.

skirge has got fotos of yorkie and kezman in bed together

are they skint like ?

That's strange cos he is in Portugal. how do you know where his mates uncles half sisters son is ?

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnes

why ? Because the money will vanish, just like the £20-odd million we got for Milner, N'Zogbia and Given did. most of those monies are still to arrive aren;t they and those that have arrived probably went into the coffers to help finance the wages and other debts. Not got any debt according to Mike. we were spending more each year than we had coming in so even if he had paid off all the debt the following year there'd be more.

been saying that for years about most sports journalism.

difference is all those previous slights haven't cost him lots of money as this is. it fits the idea of him doing it to piss us off but i doubt he'd do it if it was going to cost him multi-milions.

RIP Sir Bob. a man of his time who showed the way things should be in this "sport".
