Why shout?

Hopefully they'll take Dyer off our hands then! Dyer & Duff for £7m each, maybe Parker as well for £9m or even Owen for £15m.

Fair point. I'm more worried by the fact they've conceded more goals this season than we have, and we're the ones with the supposedly shit defence. I also think he's a bit of a bluffer. He hasn't really done that much and as I've said in another thread, he's at a club with low expectations. It will be different at a club like Newcastle. Worrying, also worrying is his recent form since the turn of the year, maybe he felt he was going to leave for a while, maybe there is more to come from the Panorama docu, but it looks nailed on now, and there really isn't any other option. I'd like to see Houllier here, a continental version of SA and with success under his belt, but will old bug eyes leave cushy number like Lyon and would FS really see him as a potential target? I think if we pushed the boat out we could get him as a lot of reports suggest he'd like a return to England however FS has a nice cheap target in view and i don't think it will change unless SA rejects. God forbid Really really stupid thing for you to say tbh.

Cracking little shout that mind. Would be a good 1 in the 4-5-1.

Emre will be off, and with 3 quality wingers (Milner, Duff, N'Zogbia) it seems a shame to waste them Zoggy can play where Emre plays, in fact i think that position would suit him well, and Milner can play where Owen is positioned in that team, he's finding his shooting boots. This also leaves the option of a 442 if ever we need it, without committing to the formation indefinite. I suppose yeah. And that's actually the sort of role duff had at chelsea. Owen--------Ameobi (?)---------Martins Milner------------------------------Duff Duff could survive if a re-shuffle happens although i'm not sure i want him to.

This also leaves the option of a 442 if ever we need it, without committing to the formation indefinite. I've always been underwhelmed to say the least when Zoggy has been in the centre. Young player trying to squeeze in with an awful manager, team mates, training and tactics. No doubt he can play there once a decent manager gets a hold of him.

Milner's natural or 1st position was sitting behind the frontman in the centre, he could do that job although a furtherback central role may just be a bit much for him to command himself in there right now, although in the future why not?

Getting rid of say Dyer would easily cover the costs of the additional staff. Dyer impact on the team = zero 20 additional backroom staff = success

Hopefully some, and at least the same structure. I hope FS realises when he goes for Sam, he's bringing in an additional 20 backroom staff to get the best out of the players and the club. Ben Haim on a free would also be a good start.

Lets hope he leaves his son behind

Please go back and carry on its a hoot. Fuck me, he says now would be a bad time to sack a manager, and then goes on to advocate sacking the manager in January instead, having allowed him to spend our summer transfer budget. Told you it would make you laugh.

Its a concern but he'll either go 4-3-3, change tactics or Owen could be off to Manu anyway. I'd be happy with any of the options.

Please go back and carry on its a hoot.

Your nuts, but i've always thought that

Carr - Liability, injury prone, on too much money. Babayaro - Same as Carr with less passion and plays less games, can only be motivated by deaths in his family. Moore - Injury prone, crap in the air, dirty, and back off home. Bramble - Will never be the defender we hoped for, out of contract, will be off. Cave, Shanks & Gate - All off to Darlo so i hear, don't know how true but they mustn't be cutting it. Pattison - Might as well get some coin for him, not going to make it O'Brien, Same as Pattison, but i think his contract is out but under rules we should get some compensation. Ramage - Not good enough and with so good free defenders flying about i'd use his transfer fee to pay their wages (Ben Haim) Sibierski - cheers, good stop gap same as the man who brought you in, now we need someone better, tailed off in 07, no way should we re-sign him. Emre - Horrible little bastard, no end product, costing too much to keep and still holds good value in the market ATM, sell to fund other players. Dyer - Everything what's wrong with this club, injury prone, on a scandalous wage, and does very little when fit. Luque - Missing man, again costing a bomb, goodbye. Duff - Had a poor season, costs a bomb, produces very little but intrest from Tottenham for £7m is a dream come true, sell now while we can. Butt - Great season but if we can get £1m+ from the Mackems for him then take it! Parker - Not as bad as the others and could be the perfect man for SA 4-5-1, but if we can get daft money off WHU if they stay up then we should take it. Swap for Tevez would do me! Owen - I'm praying on a bidding war from Manu & Liverpool to see us get what we paid for him, if so then lets just thank our lucky stars we didn't go under funding such a luxury player.

Poor David Craig standing outside SJP all day to tell us 'breaking news' news we all knew about 4 hours ago

This am not getting. Why did we pay up his remainder of his contract if he resigned? Surely that means he was sacked? Nope, it means we said we'll give you £1m now if you resign. If we have to sack you later, we'll take you to court and fight to not have to pay you anything. So why didn't we do that then? We did it with Bobby.

agreed with all of that.

Actually not as bad this time round as per usual. All of the fukwits are heading down Whitley Bay

They had but its closed.

3-1 for Jose! Book closed in most places, big sam is a cert.
