10 million That's what i'd expect to pay for champions league quality not a injury prone championship defender, he's hardly set the world alight either. WBA believing all the hype tbh, not a chance, i think he'd be a good addition alongside Taylor but not at that price. Would rather of spent £7.5m on Woody, a bigger risk in terms of injury but it would of been better spent.

£10m? Hope not. No more than £6m at the most, another year in the Championship should lower his price. We could get two better CB's abroad for that price.

Like it. The club is growing up finally and accepting 3 coaches with no qualifications between them just isn't good enough.

PS: I'd rather we go for Kevin Prince Boateng, he has a much better name.

Is this the same as Nicky Shorey being as good as Woodgate like?

I'd rather have Rooney. Instead of Viduka? Madness.

Think he's off to Man City? Losing your manager i'd say Derby are destined to go back down, with Barnes doing a Young in the process.

Fuk sake, another decent thread ruined by the SPuds Vs NUFC debate.

Watch out, Morph will call you all sorts for telling the truth.

hmmmmmm Pearsen = goal Has to tell Howard where to put the ball, then puts it on a plate for Pearson. Again, Barnes = goal.

Barnes = goal.

Its a very good start to the summer. I wasn't convinced with Viduka, but under new management i have a hope he'd perform to the best of his abilities. Ben Haim is a no brainer, we need talented defenders and lots of them, for free he's the summer bargain at the back.

Chelsea need him to open up a very boring team, Liverpool could also do with him, but if we have this kind of money then i couldn't think of a better £12m spent in this summer window for us. If Ashley want to makes a difference from the off, then this would be a great place to start.

This, and like i said, a player to build a team around. He could be the key in a year or so to pushing NUFC into the top 4. They don't come along often, but every major team needs a player like him, i hope he goes to manu and not spurs as the impact he'd have there would be gutting.

Gamst Pedersen from Blackburn, who we should of had in the 1st place through Souness.

I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD COMPARE HIM TO VIANA, BUT LIKE I SAID HE HAS ENOUGH PACE TO COMPETE IN THE EPL, YOU WOULD BE BEST TO COMPARE HIM TO RONALDO THAN VIANA. So just because he has pace it would be better to compare him to Ronaldo? Why not compare him to Alan O'Brien who also has pace. Only seen him play once but I wouldn't compare him to Ronaldo at all. I havent seen the guy but I think comparing him with a slow central midfielder and comparing him to someone who is actually more like him makes perfect sense You'd think its a canny reason to comapre him to Ronaldo since: Both are Portuguese. Both are young. Both are versatile wingers. (with Nani more able to play in the centre) Both came form the same acadamy. Both are looking likely to play in the EPL. Both are going to cost the same in fee's. Both have similar styles, running at players, tricky, and technical. But no, Alan O'Brien it is coz he's pacy.

Who would you compare him to since i'm not allowed by you to compare him to Ronaldo rather than Viana then?

Neither is Martins There small, that is all, they've played for NUFC so they must be under 6ft like every player we sign. yeah i know, i had bit meself in the bum there, but with Martins he is ridiculously strong for his size Very true, didn't realise how much strength he had a Inter, but when he came here it was plain to see what a little powerhouse he is. Imaging if he had the height as well, he's half decent in the air as it is.

Have not seen a lot of him, just read the hype. But if he is anywhere near as good as Ronaldo then yes, but as he is only 5ft 9inch I reckon he may not be physical enough for the Premierleague. Martins is only 5ft 7in, david bentely 5ft 9in aaron lennon 5ft 5in point proven Add Owen & Bellamy to that list as well. One thing they all have in common, pace, which Nani has, well enough, its not blistering but its effective at the least. Viana was as slow as Shearer and with the strength of me nana, not a winning combo for an EPL player.

£12m well spent imo. Has enough pace to survive the EPL. Would be a good player to build a new team around. But: Manu = Big club & Ronaldo SPuds = London NUFC = Good money Depends what he wants in life.

I'm hoping for pens.

Surprised its come this quickly but was always going to happen. Chelsea to fall apart? possibly, although there is a lot of talent there, worth lots of money, they'll never be the average club the once were.

when does the window open though wow this is frustrating lol 1st July. that's what i thought, but wikipedia said the 1st June? Any fuker can edit Wiki man. yeah i know, but why would they want to Because people do, ask them not me
