Pushes Beardsley close for my favourite ever player.

You thought he'd paid the ultimate pelanty? ;D

Is Gartside the new Freddy?

Best thing about that is Dawson saying he is staying at Spurs.

Idiots. 6th Manager in 15 months!

Looking very blue there. What was the point in a bit by bit reveal when it is all one colour?

Alan Thompson has returned as a coach? .. must've missed that I'd not heard that either, brings back memories of nights out in Whitley Bay in the early 90's with Alan and Stevie Watson.

Where did this thread go? I was looking for it but ended up sticking this in the Ince thread.

The Wally with the Brolley has been confirmed as FC Twente manager according to TalkSport. They are also now saying Fat Sam has withdrawn his application for the Blackburn job and Nigel Pearson is going to be Leicester's 6th manager in 15 months.

The absence of a hard DM (and a quality GK/quality CB) generate more threads on Spurs forums than anything else. What formation Ramos will use comes a close second. Ramos usually plays 4-4-2 but there are significant defensive frailties at the present time. Until the shopping is complete, it's near impossible to guess what Ramos will opt for. I don't think it's that hard really if you are actually after Bentley when you already have Modric. It will be 4-4-2. How do you work that one out? With these signings, it looks like Ramos is leaning more to a 4-2-3-1/4-1-2-3 formation..... -----------------------------gk---------------------- hutton------woodgate-----king------------bale --------------------------DM------------------------ -----------------jenas--------modric-------------- --------Bentley---------------------dos santos--- ------------------------Berbatov(new)----------- or.. ----------------------------Gk------------------------- hutton---------Woodgate---king------------bale ------------------jenas---------DM------------------ ---------bentley-------Modric------Dos Santos--- --------------------------Berbatov------------------- Hopefully we get Palombo for the dm role. Woodgate and King both fit at the same time? Catch yourself on. Anyone else read that in a Jim McDonald voice? I've been over here too long, So I have.

And what about Robbie Keane? Is he not your captain?

Far too many Gomes/Gomez/Gomis'ss for my liking. Confuses the likes of me who have never played FM.

Such as "When does your boat leave port big boy?"?

Couldn't we see more of the collar on the first reveal? Can anyone merge the two?

It's definitely not the same collar as the Chelsea one.

As Mark and Lard used to say... Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

What is it tonight? Germany Austria?

Don't worry, Roeder's working on it.

did petr cech need to rush out that far? Or am I being too harsh? Yeah he needed to narrow the goal/angle and was looking to sweep up a poor touch.. And had he been wearing his magic orange top Nihat would have missed.

I can't believe you would come out and say that Jon! How can you expect any new posters to come here now!

Just to clarify, in the not allowed bit you mention we can't discuss locations of any match. How does this affect talking about travel, for instance, a new thread along the lines of 'anyone want to share a lift to Old Trafford next weekend?'

I've always been staunchly against any move for Crouch, but I'd definitely take him in a straight swap for Milner.

Agree with that. One off results maybe, who have Man United lost to 5 times on the trot?

I can't see SWP, or any other Chelsea players leaving until they have at least sat down with Scolari, which won't be until July at the earliest.
