Remy would be excellent signing, and yes I'd still go for him. He made some quick cash with QPR; now join our project. He's the pace, the movement and ability on the ball to fit exactly well wide on a front 3 or up top on his own in the middle.

Pav is absolutely killing us right now with his interviews. Saying the same many of us on here have for quite some time and most importantly, last week or so. Had we held off Man Utd and won the title, KK would have never walked and the landscape of our club could have very well been completely different. I hate what-if discussions like this when it involves something as coveted like a PL trophy, but my goodness Pav - way to kick us while we are down!

Agree with all this. Debuchy Mapou Colo Santon is easily our best back 4 on paper. mapou should be our first chocie cb of all our options imo. If Colo stays it's him hands down IMO. We would need someone better in the air and stronger shoulder to shoulder to complement either of them imo. As a pair they'd be awesome against Shane Long. Mapou would be awesome against Shane Long - Colo seems to have issues with the most random of strikers. Shane Long and that Swedish bloke who played at Bolton.

Harry would have leaked it

Would be quite the turn around if a group of random investors and money men somehow cough up 7-10M. I really think its on the verge of collapse and he'll be back with the armband ready to lead our back line.

Its been reported in the local papers that he does not have a release clause mate. Not that it confirms its 100% true or not, but just thought it should be noted.

You're right. If we didn't sign anyone else to play CB and Colo stays; I'd like to see him develop next to Colo and hopefully learn how to handle some of the bigger strikers by using some of his technique and reading of the game to snuff things out before they happen.

Back to topic, I really don't see anyone offering +20M for Cabaye. I really rate him as a player, he's one of our best and one of my favorites - I just don't think he's going to command a fee that is going to make our board want to sell him ala Big Andy. Personally, I hope he gets a really good time off with his family on holiday and comes back reenergized, fit, and ready to show the player he was. He hasn't been himself for quite some time.

I honestly couldn't imagine we'd sign Sakho if Colo stays, unless we flog Willo/Saylor. Which I really don't see both going. Personally, would love Sakho here, he's ACTUALLY a beast of a CB in terms of his strength vs what people said about Mapou. Mapou is your Colo style smooth ball player and Sakho is a your all around monster in the backline. Not sure how we'd have Mapou, Sakho, Colo, Saylor competing for 2 CB roles; I'd love that selection headache mind you. I'd actually drool over Debuchy - Sakho - Colo - Mapou (sorry Santon) But essentially you could play the best out of Debuchy/Santon/Haidara/Mapou at the back position and Mapou would be fighting for a position with Sakho/Colo.

France love a hoof ball too.

Had he never resigned....oh fuck, I'm not even going to go there for the sheer sake of going into an unnecessary depression.

I miss Ba, to be honest. I thought he was one of the best strikers we've had in recent memory.

The same guy who tweeted congratulating Man Utd on winning the title and then saying one day we'll be there. He loves this place, no doubt in my mind. If there is an issue, there will be a compromise. And fuck Wonga.

This story sounds like some random rehash of a story that never picked up much steam when the club announced the Wonga deal to be honest. And many discussing the morality of the man, religion etc are wasting their own time as well. Wait for some quotes or a real announcement I guess?

This is what happens when you're trying to kill an hour or so.... I love Cisse, but fuck he should have won this for Senegal.

Man he totally should have scored that diving header earlier....but mind you it was a tough angle

Cisse scores. Offsides. It continues.

Cisse man

BTW - somebody has edited Demba Ba's name on the Senegal wiki page as "Batman"

Angola equalized, saw that coming when the cross was hit

How/What was his goal like?

I'm quietly confident that we'll keep him - for some reason I just think he's going to stay. Hope so at least.

Nees knows.

Should be interesting. Galatasaray are clearly better nowadays but Cardozo guarantees goals like few. I hope he stays in Lisbon but after that problem with Jorge Jesus... not likely. Bony - possible replacement. I believe he was linked to Newcastle in January. Still is, but we'll miss out coz were good at that sorta thing. Dekka and Ash absolutely love a transfer saga don't they?
