Almost maybe, but one or two words can make a hell of a difference. Not sure which comment you mean though so perhaps your right. Still compared to the original point its quite different.

That is correct, but not what was actually said.

You're throwing stones from one hell of a flimsy glass house.

Whats that even supposed to mean?..

20 goal a season strikers don't come cheap, Bent was out injured for half the season and he still scored more than Berbatov who some seem to value at £30m But Berbatov also creates goals for his team maters...How many assists did Bent have compared to Berbatov ? Doesn't matter how many assists Bent got. A strikers job is to score goals, not set them up for other people. What do you mean it doesn't matter? Of course it matters, the more goals that player adds to the team the better. If a player can score 15 and create 10 he's worth more to the team then a player who scores 20 but doesn't create any.

I'm not certain you realise just how many lemons Allardyce has bought in the past. People learn from their mistakes, tbf... I'd be interested to see them listed, along with the transfer fee's paid...

If he was something special everyone would of heard of him. At hiss age he's done his learning, he's not one for the future, and the PSG fans dont even know what his best position is, at 26, that's very Aaron Hughes of him. Did Aaron Hughes ever get player of the year then?... The negativity surounding this transfer is becoming tiresome. People keep claiming this guy must be average because he's not well known and keep bringing up this supposed info from PSG fans saying they don't know what his best position is. But the overiding fact is these same fans voted him player of the season and the French as a whole chose him as one of the best two central defenders in the league.. Say whatever you want about the French league but its not that poor.. This all points towards Rozehnal being a good player IMO, not great but not average either.

When the original rumour was posted here a few people seemed to think he hadn't yet given up on the club being taken over by the consortium he was backing before he left. Who knows if that was based on anything solid. But if that is the case he'd take some persuading to take another job if there's any chance of being reinstated at Arsenal. But as I said, I hope he has given up on that idea and that Ashley has approached him and convinced him that his future is at Newcastle. I'd piss my pants with excitement if that happened to be honest.

Yeah there have been rumours that Dein was the man Ashley wanted to run the club, mostly based on the fact that they know each other and live near each other. But his love for Arsenal makes it unlikely IMO, hope I'm wrong though.

f****** clown..

Hopefully David Dein, unlikely but I can hope.

Its been posted in this thread a few times, he was also picked in the French leagues team of the season.

I've never seen him play. But I'd definitely question how a defender that makes lots of defensive mistakes could possibly be voted player of the season..

Very constructive..

Fights in the tunnel now.. The Serbs spitting at people, filthy bastards.

This is all I expect to happen. Assuming you mean deducted points. Its what would make sense, and if they were docked 10pts for next season i doubt either team would appeal it now, WHU would be just happy it wasn't last season, and Sheff Utd couldn't suggest a harsher punishment should be handed out. Doesn't make that much sense to me to be honest and I think Sheff Utd would most definitely appeal against it. No matter how harsh a 10 point deduction next season is they would argue it wasn't a relevant punishment. Given that the infringement happened last season and the outcome of that infringement was that West Ham stayed up when they would otherwise have been relegated. If the FA did admit that points need to be deducted then the only thing that makes sense is to relegate West Ham and reinstate the team immediately below them.

You're talking utter bollocks, as usual: can you even read? are you honestly expecting the clubs bank statements to detail IRREGULAR payments? are you expecting club officials to confess to the money under the bed when it isn't even a criminal investigation? What a load of sensationalist claptrap. I don't see Freddy Shepherd named here, nor any other Newcastle United officials. As a club there is no wrong doing claimed at all. There is a suggestion of wrong doing on a the part of some agents and two people who were once connected to the club, that's it. There's obviously no evidence linking anything Souness or Kenny Shepherd might have done to Newcastle as a club. The report stresses that point repeatedly. Or do you have some undisclosed report that says different?

Bollocks, if Souness or Kenny Shepherd have done wrong that's there look out. But as far as the club goes there has been no wrong doing found despite full disclosure of club documentation including bank statements.

Not high enough to declare to the stock exchange?... What does that mean exactly?..

Rubbish. It's not like money is all Chelsea have over us at the moment. CL football, a real chance to actually win something, an extraordinary manager, etc. He will have talked to Mourinho or other Chelsea representatives and obviously feels he will be involved in the first team sufficiently. I think this type of comment is very much sour grapes and well strange considering money is what we usually throw in our transfer targets' faces in abundance to compete with potentially more attractive clubs careerwise.. How many other players over the last few seasons have spoken to Mourinho ect and felt they would be involved in the first team sufficiently? Only to end up a shadow of there former selves a few seasons later having played barely any Football... Wether Ben Haim's carear goes the same way we'll have to wait and see, but if I had to guess I'd say it will..

Silly lads just ruined his carear IMO... Like someone else said, its a shame due to the fact he was free. But its not like he was the best defender we could possibly sign, so lets see who comes in next.

What?.. do you really think that the only problem with Roeder was that we finished low in the league with him as manager?.. The bloke was a f****** disaster in just about everything he did. Even when we finished in a European place the season before I was still on his back, because I could see that despite his lucky finish the bloke didn't have a clue. If Allardyce finishes 10th but IMO he's doing the right things to improve the club then I'll be happy. But yes I would be pretty confident of him finishing a lot higher.

No it isn't, this idea that a players worth is fixed no matter what the situation is lunacy IMO. The fact is when a player is a free agent they become worth more in wages and signing on fee's, simply due to the money the club will save on a transfer fee. If he still had a contract at Bolton what do you think it would cost to buy him? Or another player of the same age, quality and Premiership experience?

Which is about what you'd pay Ben Haim over a 5 year contract. Davies Fee: £8m Signing on fee £500k Wages: £25k x 5 years = £6.5m Total: £15m Ben Haim Fee: £0 Signing on fee : £2m Wages: £65k x 5 years = £16.9m Total: £18.9m All guess work, but in the end him at £65k pw isn't worth it imo. A couple of comments on that. Who says there would be a £2 million signing on fee for Ben Haim? Who says Davies would accept £25,000 per week? Davies is s*** in comparison to Ben Haim. Finally even based on your guesses he would only be slightly more expensive if he stayed for the full 5 years. We'd pay more for Davies right from day one then we'd pay Ben Haim for his first two years! It would take until year four of his contract before he'd finally become more expensive then Davies, and that's going by your rather dubious guesses on wages and signing on fee's.
