Sunderlands offers haven't even matched £6m so far. Baines is there for the taking at £6m imo, i just don't think to us since Ashley cost the Wigan owner nearly £7m when he grassed him up in shirt price fixing according to net reports. ( i can sort of remember it as well but neither parties had any relevance at the time) "One story that has been reported is that in 2000, he turned whistle-blower on his sports retailer rivals - passing over evidence of price-fixing on England and Manchester United shirts - to the Office of Fair Trading. Because of this JJB Sports, owned by the Wigan chairman, Dave Whelan, was fined £6.7m. We see nothing wrong with this - at least the guy seems ethical and above board." http://nufcblog.com/mike-ashley-divorced-with-three-kids/ Strange they are happy to bid as much or more for players that have never played in the premiership. 6m is a good price for Baines given his age, experience and potential. Still suprised we arent prepared to go for him. I think he would be prepared to learn from an experienced LB aswell if we could find one.

Who is to say Wigan just want 6m for Baines, the Mackems have had two offers knocked back. Given the ridiculous prices some players are going for and Baines performances in Holland, it wouldnt suprise me if they were looking for near 10m at least.

Obviously we want him to stay as the article a few days ago suggested. Sam also said things change at a drop of a hat though and an agent phone call. Not saying he is leaving or anything, but just thought it was strange that if anything in the wake of the game yesterday nobody made any mention of his name at all. Maybe they are just in the middle of uploading stuff from yesterday and there is an article about Oba to come..Just seems odd thats all.

Case of severe paranoia here. Mainly just find it strange other than the minute by minute on .co.uk there is no mention of Oba. Not in any of sams comments, the pictures, the match report and even when Shola is talking about his goals he mentions the attack force this season and mentions everyone but Oba.

"so your saying theres a chance......"

not now, probably not ever... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/6904411.stm

"100% record, job done. Bye" Equals John Carver's record. He's leaving at the top!

resigned?

Good win, not that the result is in any way relevant at this point. Has given the youngesters a good bite with the seniors, with a bit of luck will have more than just Milner, Luque and Geremi to add in to the squad by the next friendly.

Finally he gets the nod too WOO!

Alex Francis must be feeling gutted at the minute!

The South African Dream means business.

Lough? not heard much about him, does he play RB for the youth team?

WOO, The South African Dream is on...Barton and Pattison, its the future.

good god, that all kicked off quickly!

We playing three at the back now or has hunty moved in and Carr over to LB?

Good signing for nothing if Sven can motivate and get his career back on track.

Thats ok then, everyone does a little bit.

You want the boogeyman to fuck you?

Pretty good debut by Voronin.. Is Torres playing? He might have had a stinker but the ball came off his ass and crept in when he wasnt looking! Still think Liverpool will be alot stronger next season than people on here think.

relegation looms

Woo! we defo winning da league this year!

What was the final score?

interesting, Ramage/Huntingdon at LB or playing 3-5-2?
