You were insecure enough not to want us to sign Bowyer on the grounds he was found innocent under a court of law of charges that you (like others) become self righteous about. He wasn't found innocent in McDonalds at Charlton, nor was he found innocent of taking drugs, nor was he found innocent of a vicious stamp on the head of a Malaga player. As a player, I didn't think Bowyer was worth the hassle, which turned out to be true since his most memorable act at NUFC is the fight with Dyer. Same stance with Barton, I admit it's possibly a hypocritical one, but more simply a matter of pros and cons. They're both a pair of horrible little scrotes. Ridiculous post, particularly the last sentence. I'm sure you know the age of Bowyer when the incident happened at McDonalds, so it seems you're the kind of person who holds such a thing against a person for the rest of their life. Thank goodness the people who create English aws and sentencing guidelines don't think the daft way you do. So aye, hypocritical is the word, so I agree with on on that point. Looks was Sir Les did to the Blue Peter garden! Thug.

If i can have Baines, Viduka, Ben Haim & Boateng (might as well add him in even though i know nowt about him but for £1m its worth a gamble) in and Parker out by next week this would be good progress.

£9m Champions League release clause: Chelsea - Not in the market for a new striker unless they sell their £30m flop which will be hard to shift and they'd have to take a huge cut. Owen doesn't fit the Jose profile and certainly not his 4-5-1. Arsenal - Can't afford a pot to piss in. Henry & Wenger uncertain of their future, Wenger would look elsewhere as the club would struggle with the fee nevermind his daft wages. Liverpool - Where he wants to be, Rafa does not want him, the club can go over his head and sign him, but Owen just wouldn't get the love or games and Rafa would probably walk. Manu - Just spent £50m on 3 players confirmed last night, 3 players Fergie said he would sign are now a done deal, cue Owen's twitchy arse and finally some public communication to the NUFC fans. Fuking prick.

Apart from Owen Hargreaves Man Utd have consolidated rather than improved the quality of the first team squad. If Chelsea could get a top striker who works well immediately with Drogba then Man Utd and Chelsea's first teams are evenly matched again. Wasn't that the plan with £30m Shevchenko last year? Chelsea will find it hard to catch up, there central midfield is boring and industrial, infact bar Cole & Robben who are always injured Chelsea are a team of defenders.

Stroll around like a lazy arsehole while being their captain.

Beat me by milliseconds I reckon Anderson wasn't in the plan, it just happened, Owen or a striker is was and is still a target for the club.

Pretty good.

Hargreaves? Yes good signing for them but i was thinking more along the lines of a top quality striker that they desperatly need. Is Anderson going to be this player? I think like someone said before Anderson will be Scholes replacement, granted he sits further forward but with Carrick or Hargreaves next to or behind him they can afford to do that. I still believe there spending isn't over and i expect a £10-18m striker coming in as well. (Owen or Huntelaar) Fergie has decided to build a world class team that will outlast Liverpool's new spending power, and a one to take advantage of Chelsea's slight slip up this season.

Hargreaves?

There goes Ashley's 3 year plan.

Nani and Anderson are not going to contribute very much next year they need at least a year or two. I Of course they'll get better in the future, but i think both will have a great impact next season simply due to the talent surrounding them.

I think a striker could still be coming in, if they get Owen they'd simply be the best team in the league by a mile.

Manu going all out on the attacking front, much better team than Chelsea now, more flair players will leave Chelsea for dust and Roman wishing for a different team.

I vote for: Carr2Babayaro33Dyer8Luque7

No ta, worse idea i've heard so far. In the future, but the lad needs experience to improve his own game nevermind influence other peoples and look after a whole team. He'd pick up more booking than Vinny Jones if we made him captain right now.

3rd is the best. mackems.gif

Given would make a shit captain, cant even marshal his defense properly nevermind a whole team. That's a myth. And tbh, it's not like he has the best defense in front of him eh? It's not even his job ffs. The only time we've had a decent central defender in our team (Woodgate btw, in case you were wondering), our defence looked and was good (enough). If we had decent defenders, they wouldn't need to be 'marshalled'. Do you see Petr Cech marshalling John Terry? How about Buffon marshalling Cannavaro (when Fab was at Juve)? How about Reina marshalling Carragher? No. Was Shearer the type to shout at his teammates and lift them onto a higher place? No. Did he need to be? Again, no. There is a case against Shay being given the captaincy, that I'll admit. But you can't make a decent case for anyone else at the club for the captaincy, which is why Shay deserves it. No i cant.

Another good shout, but since he's not been linked and is a mile better than the rest it wouldn't make an interesting poll would it? Now vote!

Fast as fuck apparently. Just shit at taking corners. Old. Edit: RIP Senna.

Was hoping they'd go for Dyer as well. Would swap NRC or Ferdinand for Dyer.

Fantastic shout.

Senna is too old.
