Ah, fantastic.

Will Nolan accept it?

allow me to elaborate 1: "exact opposite of what we're supposed to be all about these days" No. Gutierrez, Coloccini, Nacho on loan. All mid 20's. The myth that "the system" was only going to sign under 23's and develop them is ridiculous. It seems people dream up whatever details they like about "the system" when they want to have a pop at anything Ashley/Wise/"System" related. 2: "mike and his asset stripping eh?" What? What does that even mean? Are you saying he's currently asset stripping? Are you saying he has done? What outbound transfers since he's arrived would lead you to believe that? What firesale have we gone through that would qualify as asset stripping? Asset stripping has some very specific connotations going along with it. Just because someone is sold at a profit doesn't qualify it as asset stripping. thanks 1. what i'm getting at i suppose, is that very clearly nolan & taylor have not been scouted and assessed for months on end then moved for as our priority targets to strengthen the squad...the shit has hit the fan and we're panic buying again, surely to fuck the exact thing this "system" was meant to end (we assume) no? because operating like that for years got us here in the first place...no? for your spiderman/colo (one free mind you, who'll be worth millions if/when he moves on) i'll raise you a bassong/guthrie - bought cheap & young...however i agree that it's obviously not the intention of the system to buy players who only increase in value, of course not which brings me to: 2. i'm pointing out that nolan/taylor signings don't fit the asset stripping argument that i don't subscribe to Sorry then, guess I'm reading this board with negative tinted specs, completely misread point #2.

HUH? are you not going to lock this? call yourself a copper? Well it hardly belongs in the Nolan thread.

I'd prefer him getting regularly capped by 50 cent.

Fuck you. (not RM, to be clear)

I'd almost rather not

Given is a "nice to have" for them so they're trying to lowball us, a club in turmoil EVERYWHERE with a keeper who says he wants to leave. Why is it down to our negotiation team if City refuse to budge from a superior position?

Would have bitten their hand off for negative money before yesterday. After that massacre we're going to have to use him though, can't really afford any warm bodies to get out the door :\

I can only speak for myself but as my opinion hasn't changed I feel no reason to post about it.

Thanks for holding off till the end of the season on that new contract, Owen. Good luck with all that.

This.

played his last game tbf end of an era. Way to hold out on that contract, twunt.

Anyone but. Fucks sake.

fuck my life

As much shit as JFK gives refs I'm surprised a foul against us is ever called. Respect campaign my wide white arse.

ok that made me laugh

Who said it was acceptable? Idiot. Well if you're not braying for blood clearly you're giving it your implicit approval. Welcome to the NE5 school of logic.

Look, no one thinks we're barcalona out there, but this overwhelming amount of doommongering just isn't objective at all -- your own depression and perception of events on the pitch are effecting your view and clouding your reason.

Were there folks running into each other?

Paul Huntington. Peter Ramage. Celestine Babayaro. Stephen Carr, Amady Faye, Jean-Alain Boumsong. Huntington's done alright at Leeds, at least last year from what I gathered.

whaa? edit: n/m

He looks nothing like buscemi.
