I think SJH's age/allegiance/not being THAT mental is a good mix of reasons.

No room at the inn, then. We already have our quota.

Was never, ever, ever, going to happen. Ever. unlikely, agreed, but that wasn't really my point - anyhow a 20m bid is a 20m bid, is it not? rooney himself said he turned us down so there was something there but once a professionally run club like man u came along obviously not I never bought the bid thing. It stank, for me.

But we're not on about us trying to buy somebody!! We're discussing one of our major investors showing alleged interest in purchasing another club's shares. Simple really.... I was talking about the likelihood.

Was never, ever, ever, going to happen. Ever.

Anyone voting Martins based on a relatively small number of performances, with no real consistency, is a mental. A mental.

Depends on the deal. £20 million? Disapointed. Swapsies with Carr? Delighted. 40/60 or 70/30, or there or there abouts. Money seems to grab people, no matter the climate, no matter the manager, no matter the seemingly inherent inability to win. Just ask Shepherd. Everybody wants to come to us. hahahaahahahahahahhahahahahaha

Wrong. The correct answer is that there is no enjoyment at all to be derived from watching derbies unless you are several goals to the good. I miss the derby when we don't get to play them, but then when it comes around I dread it. correct.

He doesn't in the first place, in fairness.

"Exactamundo" as Teh Fonz might have said.

This has to be up there with the "NUFC to buy Ronaldo/Rooney/Romario/Ronaldinho" type shite.

2-0??? jesus. Some young lad by the old Malborough bus station has a LOT to answer for, for him to be so against us.

Jinxy get.

I think we should be aiming for top 7 in the first instance, although we'll need several new players for that. Babayaro is a disgrace, he's never looked like a premiership player for two consecutive games.

last time he got 19 was 4 years ago, mind. He'll never be fit long enough, now, i don't reckon. He's a great player, but not a regular one.

League only, but thats the most comparable to other players, i guess: 06/07 - 14 appearances; 4 goals; 8 shots; 2 assist; 7 crosses; 10 offside 05/06 - 11 appearances; 0 goals; 2 shots; 1 assist; 3 crosses; 9 offside 04/05 - 23 appearances; 4 goals; 14 shots; 0 assist; 9 crosses; 2 offside. Overall - 48 apps; 8 goals; 24 shots; 3 assists; 19 crosses; 21 offside.

Anyone would be a big enough improvement. We have NO premiership left back, and we need one ASAP.

He's NEVER been a 20 goal striker. His scoring record is by and large excellent, but never 20 league goals. He's only ever played more than 30 league games in a season twice, and his scoring when he HAS played is at a very good ratio, but there's nothing to suggest he'll ever get 20 goals now.

Signing anyone WOULD be a big improvement.

I disagree, thinking of the potential 5th place side I think Dyer would find a place in them and would probably find a place in the Liverpool side even if its on the left. Considering Fletcher gets a few games for ManU im sure Dyer would get a few more for them aswell. Well, we'll have to agree to disagree, then, because i don't think Dyer is good enough. His end product by and large is poor.

This may just be a 'me' thing, but i'm finding myself more nervous about Fridays draw than i am about tonights game. Odd, but true.

Martins may turn into a 20 league goals a season man. Owen certainly is not, and never has been afaik. Martins and Owen are a good start. Ameobi is not a Premiership striekr, and Dyer is not a striker at all. So i'd say as a GROUP of strikers, what we have is very fucking shabby indeed.

Lets face it, Roeder hasn't shown any bloody interest in signing one so far, so lets not hold out too much hope. Even though we are fucking desperate now.

It might make soem of the softarses who leave the match early hang around till the end though.

You raise our hopes with news of Fatty Carr's doubtful status, then cruelly dash them again with news of Moore.
