SAK

Bit off track but if anyone is interested the Toulon tournament is running at the moment. Eurosports just had Germany v Ivory Coast on and now France v Japan is on Eurosports 2.

Agreed. Fuck off Freddy and fucking splash the cash Ashley.

Probably, SAF always plans ahead so when players start getting on a bit he has the next batch ready.

Didn't he recently say he wanted to stay at Parma?

Manual fernandes is a good shout, from the little I have seen of him he's looked a good player.

Bartons the better player but still wouldn't want any of those three.

For £8.5m cash, they can keep NRC, I say yes. Decent first season but poor since. Fans have lost faith in him plus were on his back when he kept doing his pirouette on the ball. Take the money and replace him with defensive mid who can tackle and start off attacks.

He's a player on the way down, not the dominant force he was and getting on in years. Not a guarenteed starter at Chelsea anymore. I want us to move away from such signings i.e. fading star who moves to us for guarenteed games and big wages. We need young hungry players fighting for their places which will drive an overall improvement in the team, bringing in Makalele wouldn't help us achieve that.

For £10M you can get a lot better standard of defender.

It's just a concept for a new away kit by a fan.

Seconded.

Wheres that info from?

Would it not be possible to sign a contract saying it is effective from X date in the future. Then when said date arrives (coenciding with the opening of the transfer window) the contract is in effect and the player can be offically registered?

As long as he turns up for us I don't really care if he doesn't turn up for Nigeria. If he gets axed from the Nigerian team that means he won't be going to the African Cup of Nations which is good for us as we won't end up losing him mid season.

Would be happy with Crouch but not at £10M, £7M-£8M Max.

Good player Heinze but will have better offers. At his age he can't wait around while a club develops thats why we should go for players like Baines etc who have years ahead of them so a 2-3 year wait until we become challengers again won't mean that their careers have ended.

Didn't know Blackpools owner was Latvian until I caught an interview at the end of the match. I can understand foreigners buying Premiership sides because of the prestige, challenging for titles, european club football. Why would he want to own a League one and now Championship side?

If the rumours are true would he be on a free or would a fee be involved?

Looks like he's staying at Barca. Oh well onto Tevez then.

The bit about Shepherd going for counter take over is pure BS. If he could have afforded it he would have done it a long time ago.

^ ^ ^ Isn't Allardyce on holiday?

It's a nothing story and if it were true I wouldn't want him and his skinny wife and the media circus that follows them around anywhere near Newcastle. To bring such a big "star" would just unsettle other players and the team as a whole.

Still the right man, lets give the guy a chance.

Real Madrid are going to win the La-Liga, how funny is that They played s*** all season, told Capello to f*** off and it looked like it was going to be another classic shocker of a season for them, now they just defeated the hardest team left to beat with ease..and look on course to win it. but Capello is still leaving and it seems that next season they will again try and find the proper guy for the job.. At least i will win my bet with my mates that Ruud Van Nistelrooy will finish as the leagues top goal scorer..coming from the EPL to a league where the likes of Diego Forlan can score 15+ goals every season ment that him finishing as top goal scorer is a must. 23 goals for the season for RVN including today's but he's a natural goals scorer. Eredevisie,EPL, La liga wherever the guy was always going to score goals.

Cicinho on for Carlos for the last two minutes of Marid v Deportivo. Currently score 3-1 to Madrid. Lets see what impact he has.
