Signing Baines makes sense if we are getting Drago. We will have the potential and experience for which ever game we need them for. Wes Brown would be an excellent addition aswell coving RB and CB. Id wager we dont end up with any of them. But fingers crossed anyways.

Around the best for me so far. Sure we will be playing 4-4-2 at home and 4-3-3/4-5-1 away. But all games will depend on the oposition. Still think we will add a DM in addition to the defenders incoming. Diop/Faye looking likely possibly both. I cant believe the competition for places we have already. Not that I dont rate Butt, I like the idea of Diop or similar as lynchpin with any two of Smith, Barton, Geremi and Emre infront: It will be hard keeping everyone happy, even prior to Dyers departure I didnt know where he could fit into our starting 11. Its hard to find a spot for Milner, Solano and N'Zog in the 4-3-3 if we play 3 Strikers up top. Everyone should get games if we are switching formations regularly, based on opponents, its nice to have these options.

Diop would be great, a new club is exactly what he needs. Still prefer Appiah though, he is a beast.

can see him doing some time for this. Big name footballer, perfect person to make an example of. Suprised he is denying it, but I guess we dont know the facts. Quite possible Dabo might have provoked it, is it Joeys fault he landed with the punches rather than the usual girly misses? Ok, expect to find him missing for a few months.

My dog could be back up for Carr, we dont need back up we need someone to replace him.

Prefer it to be Steinsson tbh.. Delaney makes no sense, is he even fit enough to train yet?

Reasonably happy with this. Would like to see Dyers pace replaced, but Smith will give us more options than Dyer. Buying a RB/RW like Steinsson with alot of pace would be a decent move. Glad it turned out to be Smith not Fletcher mind. Bidding for Diop would be excellent aswell.

Was never the same after I had his name put on my shirt in 1999. Thanks for the memories, shame most of them are shit ones.

Very happy with the deal if it turns out to be £6m. Whilst Dyer can be usefull, especially his pace and ability to open up holes in the opposition defence, he isnt a name I put in the potential starting line ups. His past attitude and form aside, even if he was happy to stay here I would struggle to see where he would fit in to our side other than on the bench. Just hope we can spend the money on someone that would slot into our team. Alan Smith could fit in better than Dyer, but we can do better. Going to be a cracker against West Ham this year.

we shall see... suprised none of the papers have picked up on any potential Dyer replacement in the offing. Sam said hopefully one or two by the end of the week. So one in tmrw would be possible with the second maybe spilling over to the weekend. 3 defenders and defensive midfield and a replacement for Dyer would do me. Any transfer at the moment would seem a suprise!

Amady that is... Dont think Abdoulaye would be too bad, hardly inspiring, but solid, experienced in the premier league and Europe, plus he knows Allardyce, for the 500k rising to 1m isnt too bad for a stop gap.

Faye incoming.

Rather try offering 6m for diouf. Baffling times at the moment.

Doesnt look like we have that amount of money to gamble.

£3m plus Diop and Quedrue, and id be tempted. Cant see him leaving though, unless he wants to. If thats the case then Id rather he left than we kept him here sulking and losing value.

You dont need to, there is a thread about it halfway down the main page. The state we are in, and the apparent lack of funds/players available I guess we could do worse than Faye. improvement on ramage and huntingdon at least. PSG reserve left back, faye and someone else might see us through to January, with places and pride left to salvage.

Gudjohnsen to West Ham

http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1080861,00.html Shola and Owen to take part hopefully. Viduka to possibly play weds/next weekend or both.

http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1080863,00.html Playing hardball over his value. Good to see. Rightly so we should keep him unless we get what we want. In reality a bit of an empty threat as we dont really want to be keeping an unhappy player. Also have to say, I hope they continue this trend of reporting this kind of news on the official site first. Obviously they cant have all of sams quotes to the press. But all major or minor news should come out there first, ideally.

For the money he would cost compared to the value, I dont think Big Sam fancies him.

Its happening again..... http://na.setanta.com/portal/article/football::england?open&articleid=253149cbbecd1434802573270045b9d8 Out for the start of the season, although hopefully for him the operation was a success.

Wheres Boum? Put him on Claudio.

Dont see why the hell we would be risking dyer if he was leaving. Maybe just a ploy to show the potential buyers we are more than happy keeping him if they arent going to bid high enough. Still puts paid to the rumours he would be gone by today.

Huntington? Good point does charlie barnett have a dodgy Barnett? Huntingdon has done well to cut his hair, was a disgrace last season, bloody teenagers.

hows the dodgy barnett looking?
