Well it wont be any better if he comes here, remember the premiership is going to see a new Celestine Babayaro next year...

Well we do have "Ron" Geremi's now!

Cant Big Sam attract Dicks? Dicks could certainly show Fanni a few things.

Was excellent for Boro, gone swiftly downhill since. Heart says decent backup and better than baba, head bitch slaps me and says we should be looking alot higher even for backup.

From what anyone has seen of him has said, he sounds like he new Gooch. Worse than our man Ramage though? I think not.

Think we will sign at least another CB, plus Beye with a bit of luck, should easily push Ramage down to fifth choice, if not lower.

http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=475232&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=&title=Hangeland+keen+on+Toon+switch Using us for leverage for a move to the premiership? Looks like a defenders Peter Crouch. Maybe Big Sam actually wants him.

Dont think it helped Carr or Baba not having any competition. Doesnt matter who you are, you will become lazier if there is no competition for your place. Either guy could do what the hell they wanted within reason. Its like starting a new job, steering clear of the internet, then after a month you find you can go on the internet without anyone knowing. Work gradually slides downhill. If we dont get any decent offers im not opposed to keeping them and see if they work any better when they arent first choice. Provided they are managed the right way, it should be a good thing.

Works the other way aswell. Why the hell should we want to pay for him whilst he is injured. He is Barca's problem at the moment. There are plenty of other players that can do a similar job so we arent desperate for him. Id hope we play hard ball, waiting until January is the smart thing to do. Like most clubs are doing with Owen. Doesnt mean we can strike a gentlemans agreement with the player, then if he is back to his best come January we can get him. As for the Iceman, he could fit in our side in midfield or upfront like you say. Would be a great purchase wouldnt affect the strikers at the club too much either. Carroll will go out on loan, Viduka will miss the start of the season and wont play every match anyways. Then you can bet one of Shola, Martins or Owen will be injured.

How long before we see "Sams not fanni-ng about" in the tabloids.

Seems like alot of money but like you say, not an isolated occasion of paying over the odds. For NRC and Aston Villa its make or break really, he has been kicked out of West Ham, if he fails at Villa thats it for him IMO, cant see Villa even recouping half the cost. Could work well if they play 4-3-3, with Barry and Petrov. Agbonlahor, Carew and Young upfront, is pretty good stuff too. Defence is fragile though and they are really lacking depth, like us needs alot of players coming inwards to swell the squad.

Its funny id always pick Baba to stay ahead of Carr. Maybe because Babayaro seems less of an Arse than Carr, has less of a please punch me face. In reality they are as bad as each other. whilst baba is the quieter of the two though at least Carr is likely to show emotion, I think he actually knows when he is playing shit. Get rid of both if possible.

Happy to take those three names, although I think we still need two players capable of playing Left back, can we trust Babayaro to be fit when Bridge is inevitably injured?

Its the fact my mrs thinks he looks like Mr T. He doesnt really but i cant help myself!

Like 1878 rightfully says, your talking £10m at least just to get Moyes thinking. He is part of the Everton Core, you wont get him, Yobo, Arteta or even the likes of Cahill and Johnsen for less. They are happy there, why should everton take less? On the flip side it would be madness to bid that high. Id take Lescott over Yobo personally, just like the look of him.

eh? Its code for Wes Brown flying over from his holiday to sign for us.

Not that name.

Hehe. Yeah, no-one can complain when you move somewhere that wins trophies. I dont think he has moved on at all as a player though, maybe as you say because he plays more defensive. He just seems more shaky alot of the times Ive watched him this season.

I think that Cole has become more defensive at Chelsea and instead of going down the wings like he did at Arsenal, he now prefers to hit that diagonal ball to Drogba. Still, he is the best left-back in the world. I think Bridge is the best left-back in the world. He would be the signing of the summer imo. Much, much better than Baines. All Baines has over Bridge is youth. Which one of your personalities am I talking to here?

Worst career move Ashley Cole made joining chelsea, like a few of his teamates, has gone backwards. Still a great player mind.

Liverpool are in the position we would like to be in, they have a solid squad that can consistently push top four, they dont need wholesale changes. With the money they now have invested, they can afford to go out and make three world class signings. Torres IS one of those. You can argue he might not adapt or he might no have lived up to full potential yet, but he is a fantastic player, that any club would love to have. Like Liverpool, im happy to hold out on the big money signings until we are at a place that we can cope with it and really need it to get to the next level. Liverpool are a bit tight and restrictive to what Benitez would wish, but id much rather we were like them than West Ham.

Cant actually see Viduka starting every game either, but we shall see.

If the Big Sammy Baby is thinking about Dyer for a Right Wing Back role I dont see why N'Zogbia wouldnt be considered for the opposite side. Personally I wouldnt want either in those roles, but it might work. HOME: Given Geremi Taylor Rozehnal Baba Dyer Barton Emre/N'Zog Owen Martins/Luque Viduka AWAY Given Geremi Taylor Rozehnal Baba Butt/New DM Barton Emre Owen Milner/duff Viduka All these formations will change when we have finished our spending though.

Still be scrapping to avoid relegation like.

Think it'll be a weak Prem next season, loads of relegation candidates I think most people would have said the same last season. Except Reading threw a few suprises out, Sheffield United and Watford were no stronger than Derby or the Scum. With a growing trend of clubs being taken over and spending money like chavs winning the lottery, better players will emerge at worse clubs. Whilst it wont improve the stature of the game off the pitch, the league will attract even more of the worlds best. I think there will be a bigger gap between the bottom 5 or 6 clubs and the rest of the league but on the whole the standard will be getting higher and higher overall.
