Have we not officially signed the motherfucker like? .cock say that a few formalities haven't quite been completed. Probably his international clearance, the French can be quite slow at this.

That's always how he wins. Thing is though, they're the one's holding all the Aces. Like West Ham did with us over Dyer, let us the board have a bit rant but cave-in. Can't see us attracting anybody better for £10m, so just do it. We didn't cave in to anything with Dyer, they caved and came back with more money.. That is his point. They had the rant and eventually caved in, and now it is our turn to do the same. Having held back on Dyer for the extra couple of million, we should use that extra finanace gained there to pay off a fee when we find ourselves in a similar situation. FWIW, I still think we'll get him.

Roy Keane, he w***s his Dioufs

Barry's transfer to Liverpool has been called off.

By the way, are people aware that the leage table is determined by goals and not wins? Smith and Shola = bottom of the league.

Just to clarify, my last remark was very much tongue in cheek.

Bassong was recently an unused member of the French Toulon U20 squad. French results were: France 3 - 5 Chile France 1 - 2 Japan France 0 - 1 Holland

For those who still believe that we are behind other teams interms of squad development, allow myself to introduce you to Exhibit A: Aston Villa defenders available for selection. Zat Knight Curtis Davies Martin Laursen

Newcastle. End of thread.

Majorca may be hot, but there is still only one sun.

Are people on parole even allowed to leave the country?

Sin embargo, Lendoiro pide una indemnización para el verano de inversiones que serán inútiles si la propuesta de transferencia de Coloccini a Newcastle sigue adelante: "Depor han gastado miles de euros de población hacia las estanterías de las tiendas del club con Fabricio pelucas. Dennis Wise tendrá que comprar todas esas pelucas , Y compensar a nuestros aficionados para el daño emocional de compra por accidente de travestismo productos "

Keegan says Gutierrez will play.

Lendoiro is very much his own man and has a reputation of not changing his habits for anyone. He certainly wouldn't stay in Spain to thrash out a deal with us. He's known to tell people that he'll ring them back at 1pm, and then rings them back at 4am.

This looks new, can anyone translate?

Need people in London these days as well.

Aye but is the lad any good? Can't remember watching him I'd say he is among the top five South American centre halfs, and one of the best defenders not already playing in the PL or CL.

I'm trying to remember, but I seem to have some vague recollection of Dennis Wise being chummy with the Independent. Can anyone verify this?

Load of garbage then Edit: @ Gambling Gorilla, although I suppose this could also apply to Ronaldo's agent quotes.

FYP

No In that case Ashley should go and help Wise polish off the final details of the operation. What a bunch of mutual w****ers

So have we signed him, or what?

What's that got to do with making money available though? Also to be honest losing the likes of Emre and Rozenhal leaves us needing just as many new players as before they left considering Rozenhal was out on loan and Emre never played. well there is money there, if there wasn't keegan would be out in shot yes, but there we're still our players, so we could of used them next season, we got rid of another 5 players as well, even though i wouldn't of had them in the first team, they could be used for when injuries happen i hope the club isn't banking on clubs to reduce their transfer terms when the end of the window happens, risky business Rozehnal was a player we could have used as backup yes, but he obviously wasn't happy with that role. Emre we couldn't have used next season because the man either can't or didn't want to play for us, he made 8 starts last season... 8!! well it depend's what positions do you think we need FIRST TEAM players for, we have imo a very decent first team, but we need backup as there's hardly none? we need at least 2 more defenders, a playmaker and a striker imo how many do you think? Given, Harper, Krul, Forster Beye, Top level CB, Faye, Taylor, Cacapa, Bassong, Enrique, Tozer, Kadar Gutierrez, Guthrie, Butt, Barton, Milner, Geremi, N'Zogbia, Duff Owen, Viduka, Martins, Promising target man, Smith, Ameobi. The above should be more than adequate in my opinion.

More importantly, no-one has commented on the performance of Tomi Ameobi yet

Week to ten days and we'll see movement, Keegan allegedly says.
