wierd eh? wonder what the hells going on? even under fat fred we'd not have batted an eyelid at paying 3m for a CB would we? raises questions like: is allardyce the one setting the limits internally for the fee? is he operating on a severly limited budget with no idea of what will come from ashley? (doubtful) is the 100% takeover and subsequent removal from LSE hampering money being spent? (possible) are PSG trying to fleece us and for once we're not writing the cheque? these are just a few but i'd go for a combination of 1 & 4 personally haven't got a scooby about this lad so i'm not a transfer panic merchant but it seems to me if we REALLY wanted him then he'd have been on a plane by now.... Interesting points. My gut feeling is SA sees the guy as a rotation player only, therefore wont pay a huge amount for him, and wont pay big wages to uproot him and his family. Its probably why he's come out and said he's happy to stay, i bet the offer at all levels isn't that great from us, which leads me to believe the player himself isn't anything special.

Why Celtic again? Have we no one else's telephone number?

You need a goalscorer and to show your intentions, we just need not to be ripped off by a CL club taking him, so you'd have to pay proper money. The deal works for everyone imo.

23 fuking days and we've still not even agreed a fee. 'Frustrating' doesn't quite cut the mustard.

Sam takes on his biggest challenge yet.

King is an impressive defender, physically spot on for his position. But King wasn't as good as Taylor at Taylor's age, and with King's constant injuries, i know which one i'd want right now, and the one i'd want in the future. Taylor.

I actually think the guy came across very well in his interview with SSN's. If i were a Citeh fan i don't think i'd be too worried about him, although the SGE link shows he's not really a football man, but i think Sven could do a decent job and bring Citeh up to spec in the EPL with a decent amount of money. My opinion of him certainly has changed slightly.

I hope this is true tbh. We'd get about £15m off Citeh as well since they can't trigger his release clause. Bonus!

I thought Smith & Viduka hate each other? So If all those reports are true, were losing Owen to Citeh & Martins to Juve, and bringing Smith in. Wow, fills me full of beans this fine AM.

You are catching up to my opinion from 4 days ago. Aye just couldnt be bothered to read through the whole thing No, were different, this isn't the most boring transfer of the summer so far according to some. To other were cunts for even suggesting this transfer lacks life. were in the minority here. We are cunts tbh.

I've already ordered 1 million, why have they not yet been delivered you cunt?

Yes, its his level. SP's main problems were in his transfers, and that was partly to do with Man City not backing him properly, he doesn't have that problem with the u21's. Basic solids tactics and great motivation is what's required at that level, and i think he's more than capable. Better than some of the previous.

Well Les has been banging on how no one will give him a break because he is black. Therefore i'll raise him this, he's only in the frame if Ince takes over, and what have they both in common? I'm sure Les will have nowt to say about that will he?

I'd like better, but for that price he can easily be rotation with another RB.

You know of his coaching abilities or are you judging him on his playing career?

We should offer him a new deal. I also think we should offer Owen a new deal, make him put his cards on the table.

He's 28, not exactly young or a future bright star. £2m is a good price though, especially if we can throw Carr in the other direction, i doubt they'd refuse that.

Good job Vic is in bed, hungover!

Alright for the start of the season.

I suppose the club only signed Martins to replace the injured Owen.

Always been a big fan of Taylor, hence the username, and i hate it when he gets undeserved criticism, and he does get a lot. But the dives, rasheness, fouls and a couple of poor displays last season need pulling up on. I don't want him to get away with these errors, simply as i want him to become the best he can be. I have a lot of hope for Taylor, an i think he'll fullfill his excellent potential once the new regime is under way. I've always believed in him from the start of his career that he can become NUFC captain and also play for England, nothing i've seen so far changes my mind, but there are issues there, and i hope he goes on to sort them this season, if he does, we have a huge talent at the back for the next 10 years, maybe more.

SSN's talking up Taylor like a war hero! Good on the lad for carrying on, going for an x-ray apparently, i'd be very surprised if anything major is wrong though.

The marksman obviously is a toon fan who found out about the release clause. We get more for him dead.

I'm sure GR had full control over who he bought as well. FS is a fat cunt.
