Mr Logic

One or two Bolton players I'd be happy to see in Black & White, not least Kevin Davies to replace another Kevin.

I'll be more gutted about losing Tiote than I was about losing Carroll. Linchpin.

I think you are misunderstanding the term 'net spend', or, conversely, I am. Seems to me your talking about a negative or a deficit, ie spending more money than we generate from incomings. A net spend in the terms of the OP could be a positive or negative figure as far as I understand it.

Pessimistic and sarcastic. Lighten up mate or you'll end up like me by the time your 50.

I could see us spending £20-25m. I reckon we'd have been spending 10-15m anyway this summer, with the Carroll fee added and allowing for wages it is not an unreasonable expectation. But then you have to predict the Ashley factor - namely what the fuck is going on in his head at any given time. If Tiote or Enrique leave then we won't get much improvement for even £20m spent as they would obviously need replacing. Lastly, the team spirit will survive only so many ins and outs, too many transfers will threaten what is arguably our strongest feature.

C'mon Everton, wanting a draw here.

Thought Samba was there MoM, I'd swap him for Williamson in a heartbeat.

Finally..

I'd replace both the front two now, Ranger and Kuqi on.

Enrique playing for a move, clearly.

What a fucking pass by Enrique.. too strong in the lob from Best (loven?) otherwise a goal.

We look a bit off the pace so far, and Tiote just gave the ball away.

Blackburn came close to scoring there.

Nolan had his hand on Dunn's throat there.

Tiote getting off with a warning after hacking down whoever it was..

Fuck that was close, great run Enrique

Do you realise you are getting more and more pessimistic as time passes?

Rather him on the bench than Kuqi I think.

As a bencher to cover for injuries is fine (admittedly not ideal) for a few months, hardly embarassing.

Article doesn't say turned down, there was an offer from Newcastle but he is still considering his options is all it says. (Which is probably as good as saying the offer isn't good enough like.) edit:

Spent an hour reading an Arse forum last night, could have been this one after practically any loss. Some of the comments were word for word what you would expect to read on here, only seen from a different perspective obviously.

And 20 pages of comments.

Did you post in every thread with your doon 'n' gloom? Bet if you'd been at the ground today you'd have been walking out after 30 minutes. Bet he can't wait to get back more like.
