Teasy

Any player with no sense or ambition that is.

If it was just a job he wouldn't be getting insane wages for pissing about with a ball nor would he get the adulation of fans in the first place. Sorry but bollocks is it just a job.. As for doing nothing wrong, pushing so hard for a transfer and disrespecting fans and manager alike in the process is something very wrong to people who have given you so much support. Fine if he just sees it as a job and has no respect for the club or its fans, but also fine if the fans then tell him to take a flying leap.. yes?

So instead they should be pathetic sycophants in the hope he'll stay?.. fuck that. He's acted like a tosser and deserves the fans scorn. He should be prepared to earn back there adulation, otherwise I wouldn't want him at the club if I were a Villa fan.

"He's a legend!!" They're completely f***ing clueless. A group of monkeys could do better fact checking!

Chelsea didn't buy the top players at first either though. They spent big on some good to very good Premiership players, then once they were challenging for the league and in the Champions League they could start to attract top players, especially with the rediculous wages on offer. At a club like Bolton it would take longer and would almost definitely never be quite as successful due to the things you've mentioned, but they could still do something similar with enough cash behind them.

They would have had to, they were bankrupt before Abramovich came in.

Why sick? How i wish we are in Chelsea's shoes! They can afford it so that's their business. Instead of being sick, i would applaud their ambitions as finishing second to them makes their players, fans and owner sick. Remember we used to be big spenders last time round, that does not make me sick one bit but if it makes the other fans sick, thats their bloody business. No they can't afford it, their owner can afford it, but as a club they should be bankrupt 10 times over by now.. I've got no problem with the idea of survival of the fittest. But to me that means the club itself, not sugar daddy owners who right off half a billions pounds for a laugh to see if they can make a certain team the best around. Its no different to athletes taking steroids IMO... You can't compare Chelsea to us either, we spent big but we spent what we as a club could afford and anything more became debt that the club then had to deal with. If we went too far we'd be f***ed. Chelsea have spent more money in the last 4 or 5 seasons then probably every other club combined, and if they need to spend more then they can do so at no risk because the money's just being written off, its completely anti competitive.

Considering Mallorca hold his registration and they're very unhappy with the transfer I'd assume they have refused to release it so far. Its only a matter of time though.

If that's true I'd love to boot the little cunt in the face, even more then I normally would that is..

Newcastle were in the Champions League five years ago. I agree with what your saying though BTW.

Modric's club announced we'd made the bid, Chris Mort said we'd made the bid, Kevin Keegan said we'd made the bid... I suppose they were all lying?, its a massive conspiracy? Come out of your negative fantasy world and accept that money is there if we feel the right player is available.

The relevant section was posted here hours ago:

Chronicle and Mirror and AS all say that we've agreed a fee, and his agents are coming for talks. Edit: AS still think he's going to Benfica I should say. So I believe. AS didn't say that they still think he's going to Benfica, unless you have something from them that isn't posted here. They just said that Benfica raised there offer so they're still in with a shout.

At the moment all you're doing is entertaining me Sniffer, so mission failed

A couple of OK seasons? Would those be the couple of seasons where he was the best player in a team that won La Liga, got to the Champions League Final and then won the Uefa cup?... Are they the same seasons that albert luque was one of the top players in spain? What does Albert Luque have to do with how good Pablo Aimar was at Valencia?

Its from AS.

Well at least we know one paper will be claiming something positive about Newcastle tomorrow, even if it is bollocks

According to who? According to whom, actually.

Which forum is this coming from anyway?

According to who?

Didn't think he was any better than those 2 back then. Really? I thought he looked a very solid defender with fantastic physical attributes, I was very annoyed when we missed out on him.

Its a difference of 1 and a half years, not much in general terms I agree, but in Football terms its significant. The difference in contract lengths is the most significant part though.

Anyone know who the other offer is from? Can't remember any other club being reported as interested.

Lampards almost 2 years older and has under a year left on his contract.
