Aye.

Is that a Derby County shirt? It's his old Notts County one, Ashely asked him to bring to keep costs down.

Ashley wants to get him badgering his family-in-law for a bit of investment. Looking forward to seeing his first surge and Spurs fans going spastic with rage when we play them.

He got them to the World Cup though when they were in major danger of not doing so, albeit it could be argued that was not much to do with him, it was never going to work on the big stage though. you don't think a better manager would have pissed them through qualification compared to the dogs dinner he made of it? he didn't have a clue what he was doing as i recall it, picking hundreds of players and changing things every game a semi-competent manager would have utilised their talent much better than he ever could A so called better manager (Basile) wasn't doing much better pre-Maradona in the earlier qualifiers. He was brought in to get them qualification which he achieved. He used a fair few players but that has been massively skewed by the press as he has called up solely South American based players for friendlies etc. As i said next manager they appoint has a big job ahead of him, as Argentina have a ridiculous number of talented players and the chance to win the Copa on home soil espcially with Brasil potentially in a period of transisition.

Glen Johnson to play a few games on RM i'd imagine. Most of his best performances in his latter days at Pompey came playing there. Would make sense with Maxi leaving.

Devastated. Chris should get working on a deal to get him in to do a bit of coaching. Batista is just caretaker manager btw. They should go for Gerado Martino IMO, the current Paraguay manager. Big appointment whoever they get as the next Copa is in Argentina.

Didn't know he was a neo-nazi.

Aye he's great, then you've got to remember he'll be probably getting gametime for Real madrid next season. Theoretically we could have the likes of Wilshere, Rodwell, Moses.. in this. The difference in class is down to players not being allowed to go aswell as the difference in coaching. I hope so since they're not loaning him back to Racing. Would be a bit of a pisser for him if they didn't.

I think the crowd will be 47 and a half because I'm a zany cunt.

Which JD is that?

Probably a cleaner at Michael Ashleys Sports Emporium.

Riding a bike with two hands and no apples. Sell this bastard.

The other issue is that City need to start shipping players out soon. Rumour is that the Milner transfer is the key for a merry-go-round with Bellamy replacing Young who's off to Spurs etc etc. Aye, 25man Squads has a lot of clubs sweating. i can see it helping clubs in lower divisions and bottom of prem a lot though, city for example might just send out players on loan as the deadline approachs if they can't get rid rather than have them sitting in the ressies That rather defeats one major point of the regulation. Are clubs allowed to do this? I'm beginning to hate the loan system. Thought you were a Spurs fan? Spurs have benefitted massively from the loan system. Hoovering up youngsters left right and centre. I am, and we have, but that doesn't make it right. I have a little sympathy with the idea of loaning younger players to lower division sides, but with severe restrictions on quantity. Loaning players to other Prem sides just feels wrong, and the whole system simply benefits the big guns. One major reason to restrict squads to 25 is to stop bigger clubs buying up everyone in sight - if they can loan players out willy-nilly then nothing's changed. If it wasn't the case we'd just end up with loads pre-contract agreements/player sharing etc. The big clubs would find a way round it someway or another.

If he is I'm going to go and kick the stadium in.

Bland-tastic. When do managers name their 25? End of the window i assume.

Fans favourite Yann Kermogannt has left Leicester.

Keep an eye on ebay n all.

Good to see we seem to be getting people in early when possible to they can bed in to the squad and get some pre-season under their build before the league starts.

liar and fair enough. Everton have a wealth of CMs as it is tho - Cahill, Felliani, Billy...., Arteta, etc. They need wide men IMO.

Lee Ryder is having Spaghetti Bolognese for tea is the other announcement.

Absolutely guarenteed to get injured before the end of August.

Slow over 10 yards, quick over 50 type of player. Could be worse and hopefully its only a 12 month deal. Can't wait to see the Sol surge.

I'd be happy with him. Definitely better than Smith. Wouldn't cost much either.
