I don't know why, but this post reminded me we once spent £4m on Warren Barton.

My first thought on hearing the news. Which song?

Apparently, we've been linked to an unknown African striker playing for a German club for an unknown fee.

Last minute Liverpool hijack announced on SSN.

Gerld.

Emerging markets mate, emerging markets.

We'll have the biggest fanbase in Senegal in no time. Sports Direct, coincidentally, are opening new stores in Senegal.

This is really, really weird. They're not giving us a chance to have one of our protracted inalienably creepy pre-transfer threads. Some fucker is going to get home from work (probably Dave) not having seen any of this and the whole saga will be complete from wire-to-wire.

Quite surprised by the celerity of the alleged deal. Most sources seem to suggest the two clubs have a reached an agreement already, and the player himself is already (reportedly) Newcastle-bound to discuss terms!

If we take a step back, it doesn't seem to fit in with our transfer policy. I've just become apprehensive about Ba's future tbh

I love him long time.

It's held every 2 years. Pretty sure it's on again next year. Was meant to be in Libya but has been moved to South Africa. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16113863.stm Yup, but after that it's back to two years. They're just moving it to odd-numbered years. I see your point though - they could both be gone by the time 2015 rolls around

Explains why Del Boy is interested.

Demba has gone all Twitchy and is doing some tapping up of his own.

It's held every 2 years.

RTG seem to like him

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16596028.stm Another father-figure issue! They could start a support group.

Bellamy is 33 at the end of the season, man. No way he's starting/terrorising teams for 38 games a season. Gerrard is injured 25 games a season also.

Rooney would never do such a thing or even utter a peep to influence a ref's decision, of course.

Tbf to the ref, it's the rule that's wrong. Should just be a 'last man' rule rather than 'clear goalscoring opportunity' (assuming that is the wording used).

If Figueroa gets the equaliser

Red all day long.

Twat's challenge from de Jong.

88th minute equaliser.
