Oliver is talking fucking crap as usual. As if anyone thought Baines was gonna cost under £5m. As soon as he gets back from holiday he starts printing his shite again. I don't know why he keeps on mentioning Hyypia either. I would like him here, but nobody else is saying anything about him signing for us, and Liverpool seem to want to keep him. He seems to be having a one man campaign to sign him.

Only England player i was really impressed with tonight at all was Reo Coker. He showed a bit of drive. Still nothings changed though, we should definitely go for Baines. On a different note though, on Nugent's last couple of showings i wouldn't pay anywhere near £6m for him. He hasn't got the best goalscoring record at club level really, and his finishing has been quite poor in the last couple of U21 matches. He done well for the penalty though. Jury is still out.

He's at a good age though. If he has another season like he had last season, then he will have proven he is over his injury's.

We will never ever win a thing if we don't get top players in eventually. I'd like to think we could bring players in who could become top players here though, rather than going down the Chelsea route.

I hope we never have to pay a player £100,000 a week or over again once we get rid of s*** face. We should forget about Hollywood signings because they never work out for us. If Ben Haim has any desire to play football then he will come here rather than Chelsea.

His contract has another 4 years on it. At least give him another year with a good team around him hopefully.

*STICKS PINS IN EYES*

Why would we want to sell Butt to Sunderland? Thats just stupid.

Apparently Milner and Young are playing off Nugent, with Reo Coker, Huddlestone and Richardson in the middle.

Sky have reported it as £3.5m, BBC reporting it as £3m. Jesus christ transfer deals these days are fucking complicating

nothing tops rodent resigning .;-) Shepherd selling up tbh.

Load of shit.

I wouldn't be arsed if we didn't get a penny for him as long as we get him off the wage bill.

Its already been confirmed. £3.5m

After they've tied up the deals for Jaaskelainen and Butt

Nah. We've stuck with Dyer but he certainly hasn't developed. Milner has only played one full season here really. Hope we do stick with him though cos i think he can turn into a very good player.

£3.5m

I think its obvious Allardyce would look to offload him, but i don't believe anything The Journal prints tbh. I think he will look to offload Carr as well. The Journal always writes articles "way off the mark"

Can understand Woodgate's decision in a way though. Its his hometown club so thats obviously a major factor in his decision. Another thing that will be part of his decision is how well the medical staff have looked after him. Boro may well go down next season, but he knows that if they do then he will easily get a move straight back to the Premiership as long as he has another season like he had last season fitness wise. Even if the smogmonsters stay up i think Woodgate will only stay there for 2 seasons maximum if they don't improve dramatically.

I remember a couple of months ago some people were saying they would take relegation if it means getting rid of the board

I wonder what Shearer will think about it if Owen leaves. He won't come out in public saying anything bad about Owen, and he might not even say much to him, but deep down he'll be fucking disgusted in him i think. I'd love Owen to stay here but only if he signed a new contract which isn't gonna happen. If he goes then buy Anelka. If we lose Martins as well then i think Darren Bent would be a good buy. We would probably get more goals out of them two than Owen and Martins next season taking into account Owens injury record and Martins consistency (he should be more consistent next season fingers crossed).

Hopefully Taylor goes through him early on and puts him out of the mat...season.
