Anyone else have a twinge of excitement when nufc.com or here is down and wonder for a fleeting second if it's overloaded because something huge has just happened?

Quite a bold ITK post to make, bearing in mind that it's pretty easy to prove wrong when we make another signing. I'm sure a mag with an account over there will bump the thread if/when we bring someone else in.

Let's hope Beckham doesn't read this http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_20020421/ai_n12842279

I've just donated £500 to the transfer kitty, Ashley can use that

From his profile No shit... I wouldn't get any more wound up about this than a post on a message board, it's not like it's a newspaper op ed or owt - anyone can sign up and write an 'article' (and they did)

I keep reading that one and I really can't work out if it's sarcasm or not Judging by the other posts on that page though, probably not! Nice to see anyway, I'm going to shamlessly allow those Bolton fans to raise my optimism that he's a canny buy and not bother reading the posts after he signed for us

Are there any photos of this lad looking normal? Sure mate... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/euro2008/arshav438.jpg Has he contracted blue tounge disease from snogging a cow in that one?

When it was announced Shearer was signing I was at a Scout Jamboree, was awesome because we were surrounded by Man U fans. Found out Cole was being sold on a school trip to Century Radio.

Not to be overly PC or owt, but isn't it a bit offensive to people who were kept as peoples property, bought and sold, forced to work for no pay and treated as less than human to Christiano Fucking Ronaldo, multimillionare megastar?

Rate the lad, would like to see him here for the right price. Reckon he's still got a fair bit of potential in him as well.

I don't even see why the papers are rubbing their hands as if these nonsense stories would equal another round of "Crisis in toon!" stories anyway - someone comes along, buys the club, pays off the debts, sells up again and fucks off. Jackpot, surely?

I thought being able to essentially keep it at the same price for four years running was a pretty cracking deal to be honest.

Players will think twice before turning us down. One of Bin Laden's nieces is fit as fuck, should get her to do the ground tour for potential signings.

Haven't his family disowned him anyway?

Really? How come the same 5 people have been fighting for top spot in my pub league for the last 4 seasons? Shouldn't the placings be random? Put it another way, those who finish 1st and 50th will have significantly different skill levels, but it will be luck that determines 1st and 2nd. Same often applies to real football.

N'Zogbia is now officially a defender, thanks Sam.

No doubt this will change at least 100 times before the first deadline but my initial selection is Friedel Schwarzer Clichy Ferdinand Distin Laursen Melchiot Modric Barry Fabregas © Dempsey Lawrence Santa Cruz Defoe Martins

He'll just have to have Spiderman on the back then.

Does whatever a Sneijder can. (Can't claim credit for that one, blame my mate who just sent me a text)

Pompey and City were supposed to be after him as well http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/08/03/ufnpap103.xml http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/eriksson-spins--web-to-lure-pound7m-spiderman-767568.html The second link says that Mallorca would want £7m for him because 50% of his transfer value would go to his former club, Newell's Old Boys EDIT: This article talks about the sell-on fee as well and says Pompey would have to stump up £10m for him (Along with some quotes from Spideman about how great Portsmouth are) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/12/06/ufnportsmouth106.xml

And here's to Bobby Moncur, with the Fairs Cup in his hand...
