Yeah, you have to consider if all our players were fit (yeah right ) he'd not necessarily be a starter in his prefered position. Nevertheless, would have loved him back, think he'd have been perfect compliment to the players we have.

t? What 2 ways? We "Won't sign quality players" seems to imply only on thing to me, that none of our new signings are quality players. Not the most charming thing to say about your new team mates, who I think for the most part are quality additions. /I don't disagree with him that the apparent lack of spending, or at least committed strengthening, is a valid concern mind. That would be "We haven't signed quality players". So you're interpreting what he's saying as, 'under this board we won't sign quality players, apart from the ones we've just signed'? Huh?!?

We're back!

Not really, I've just spent 45 minutes pissing about with the computer trying to find out what was wrong with it and missed the football.

An absolutely electric performance!

Ner, he's between the sticks for the next game according to his pre match vid.

Love how everyone of our shit players is a massive cunt. You're so tense. Relax.

From Ryders updates, he was good.. fast, direct skilful.. nearly scored Yes, but... did he stick to the line or cut inside!?!

I think it is Keep him just for that . Confirmed!!!!! http://yfrog.com/khe7uij

Harper is there (well he was on the plane at least).

Fuck off should a steep loan fee be a problem. If he's available (though that I doubt tbh), we should go all out to get him. Thing is, would the loan fee come off any future permanent fee (should we decide to keep him), or would it be separate? Separate I'd have thought in this case as I can't really see Chelsea thinking about selling him at the moment. It's not like we are even adverse to paying loan fees though, Ben Arfa's was £2m I believe, and I don't imagine Sturridges would be significantly more.

Top little interview.

If someone resorts to abuse, then they are mongs. /Ah fuck, now that makes me a mong. //and terrifically un-pc.

The bastards!!!!!!

Charity match against Barca, nailed on.

I'm pretty sure I predicted we'd run a tight ship under Ashley and stop spending beyond our means when he first arrived, while on the plus side, any profit would go back into the club. Seems I was right! Do I get a lollipop? No.

Be good to see Sammy and Kadar etc get a shot, but it's not like our first team squad is particularly small.

Can't be arsed to get into the debate - given it's been done to death on here, but I'm interested in watching an entertaining, achieving team on a Saturday and throughout the season and not really arsed about debt (Ashley's own making) and whether we've got the biggest bore-hole in the North East (which should have been paid for out of the clubs many other revenue streams), we've got some of the biggest arse-holes in the North East but Derek Llambias, Pardew etc are a different story. I'd honestly not be surprised if we see a team play better football and maybe be even more entertaining than last seasons, which would in my eyes make them the most entertaining team since Asley took over. Actually, scratch that..... it would make them the most entertaining team since Bobby got the bullet.

I concur. I do not. No decent replacement will come if Jose is here, and I have difficulty having faith in a first teamer who will be openly talking to other clubs in six months.
