He will be with us at least until the end of next season. Provided he is still happy here and we actually manage to do something with our season I dont think he will leave.

Fantastic signing if true for nothing, stealing march on alot of clubs? Pre planning on transfers? id be suprised. Im also not 100% confident Emre will actually be here by the time his contract expires.

Yeah but they both play in the national side. Really doubt we are even interested let alone close to any kind of deal.

Not a chance. Would be nice though.

Mancini - he's only gone and bought a house here! Koeman Houllier Keegan

Will be coaching the reserves this time next year...

Reading at home will be a real test, as it was earlier in the season. Being at home is a great advantage though. Lets just get past the brum first.

Neville Southall didnt last long then..

No it was a lovely day we ended up in Hastings, stick of rock and a nice day on the beach but no football.

No. Although its better for the players, it just wouldnt be the same not having matches on boxing day. They need to do away with international friendlies aswell, i hate the way it disrupts the league, I can cope with it at the moment but i wouldnt like it to get like Rugby, where its almost impossible to follow.

£10m for parker would be a good deal. But it sends out all the wrong messages, we dont want to be selling our club captain. We certainly havent seen the best of Parker, he has had an awkward season, people too easily use him as the scape goat this season. I think making him club captain has put too much unto his shoulders, he was fantastic for us last season, the second season is always a struggle. Half his problem is not knowing what kind of role he is really supposed to be playing, i dont know why its not working for him but he is potentially a fantastic player for us. We should be supporting him alot more, certainly rather than getting on his back all the time. On Keiron Richardson im not too sure about, I not sure how competant he is at LB, he is a good coming forward which we need from our new LB, but ultimately he needs to be able to defend or we might aswell just go with N'Zobia or Duff. I would be happy if we can get bent. Lucas Neill will be the new Carr, he is truly awfull, but maybe a change of club and people around him will work. The Blackburn fans cant wait to get rid of him, he is rash, clumsy and the only ball he can play is the long ball. I know nothing of Gerald Cid that we have also been linked with. I would be very happy to have SWP's here, although he is hardly a priority. I dont think it will affect Milner too much as he is as good on either wing and can play through the middle.

The news everyone has been wanting to hear. Although he hasnt exactly said anything other than how well he has played at RB, the rest is just the usual journalist conjecture. A new RB is needed but it can certainly wait until the summer. Im happy with Nobby there, I think it will certainly push carr either out of the club or to up his game to the standard he can play at. Ramage and Taylor maybe even Hunty and Edgar could probably do a solid job there if needs must. CB, LB and Strikers are our main priority for this window. Finding the right CB will be hard aswell so if it waits until the summer for us to get the right man then so be it, the youngsters need as much guidence from Roeder and Pearson as possible though.

Bent without a doubt. Will get more goals than Crouch and brings something different to what we have (although Crouch would too).

Liking it so far.. they need to put the poison dwarf on really.

Muamba was very good I thought. True about the inexperience but at least they have been playing together for the majority of the season. All credit to them, although its too easy to take the 1 man advantage for granted we should have finished the game mind..

On the face of it a draw would have been predictable, and i would have taken it before hand. But we should have beaten them easily and scored several in the second half. Disspointing, but all credit to Birmingham. Good performances from Milner, Dyer, Martins, Butt and Solano. The rest were found wanting but thats not a suprise given their experience. Not a replay we need given the fixtures we have to put up with already, but I think more than not most would take it over going out. Birmingham might well be alot weaker come the replay, bendtner, kelly out and Radi suspended... but where will we be for players at that time? Over to you fat man and Glen.

I dont understand why so many people want him back, he was average for us at best. Dont get me wrong i like hughes, he did a solid job wherever we put him. But was certainly no less error prone than Taylor or Ramage. I was a little upset he left, but when he did leave the opinion was it wouldnt be too hard to get anyone better. Its only the fact that we didnt invest in Fullbacks properly that makes people think Hughes might be good if we got him back. The same people would go off their nut if we signed the likes of Melchiot, some people myself included would be upset with Luke Young. Because neither are that much better than Carr. If we are going to get sentimental and demand we sign a former player, could it at least be someone good.

not much better than Ramage, Huntingdon or Edgar. decent squad player, but we already have the above three.

Im sorry, but that wont even buy you Amady Fayes sides, let alone his soft centre.

To be fair if we managed to buy a LB and a couple of cut price loans/buys i would be more than happy. I dont even expect us to manage more than one or two signings probably in the wrong places aswell.

Good move and well deserved, if anything it gives us the right to hold out for more money should anyone be properly bidding for him. His adaptability will be key over the next couple of months, lets hope his game also continues to improve.

Well i guess Charlton's thinking (which is a gamble) is if he was fit he wouldnt be for sale. So clubs interested have a chance to get him now or not at all. With him being out up to five weeks and them desperately needing him, they would be better off getting good money for him now and buying in a couple of players that can help them out as soon as possible to avoid relegation. Which clubs would buy an injured player Spurs certainly would, It didnt stop them with Malbranque, didnt real buy woodgate amidst an injury? If our situation wasnt so desperate I think we would aswell, maybe we still will. If he stays comes back and has a blinder there will be a few clubs that might get him now that wont be able to in the summer. Alternatively the gamble is they get relegated because they cant bring anyone in to cover him then have to sell him in the summer anyway.

Skirgey, Skirgey, Skirgey... :roll: yes.

Well that about ends that. We wont be buying anyone thats injured, no matter how good he is. Not least if we can get him cheaper in the summer, which we will if they go down.
