Saviola on the cheap

I doubt it! If we sell him we wont get much for him, keepng him instead might result in a higher league position when the season ends and that means more money. And also there's not the same risk of us gettng relegated if he stays

Probably, i think he knows that he wont get the same wages he's on right now at any other club anyway, possibly City if anywhere. But i honestly think that Sparky or whoever comes in will look at other options..

Im more worried about what signals this sends out to future targets than i am about MO the player himself. Dont get me wrong. He's a great player but not the same he once was and i'll be surprised if he's going to stay fit for the rest of the season anyway..

im sure this thread will reach at least 200 pages before the end of the season..

Or he's off just doesn't want us to know it for sure so that some fans go against him...

looks more and more like it...

Dont know if it's been mentioned already, but apparantly Man Utd has made a bid for Alex Witsel who plays for Standard Liege.

Interesting..

Dont forget that there's time for him to eat a couple of piggs before then..

Who? Bassong? Bassong yeah

How did he do when he played in the french league? Was he well known and did people there rate him? I hadn't heard of him before tbh...Im going to watch alot of french football from now on. Now that i have uppgraded my channel package..

more unique haircut Thats what you get for £7-8m these days..

Does anyone know if he speaks any english?

Yeah probably, nothing wrong with trying though, as we've seen a few times before Oh fk aye, no pissing about make the offer and hope to fk we can get him, new LB for sure, Enrique has done better but this lad is a touch of class. Im not sure but i think he's been playing as a CB lately also. He would give us an option there also if anyone got injured. Aye cover for Bassong at CB but I would play him as a LB he looks very adapt there. Bassong----Sakho and Zoggy down the flank, a birght long term future for the Toon. Doesn't look bad, not bad at all..

Too bad we couldn't play Martins against Dawson, he would of run around Dawsons legs like one of those Bumby bears from the old Star Wars movies putting down those slow two legged robots..

Damnit. We need to win this now, if i was kinnear i would put Duff in instead of Enrique and try win it very late...

We will miss Martins more than anyone in this game i think..But IF we manage to keep a clean sheet then i think we could win 1-0. But i think we will have to settle for a draw here or a 1-0 win for wigan. Not too optimistic about this one..

Supposed to be interested in Sissoko although I read we've been priced out of a move as they want over 10 million euros for him. Whether that will drop to a more realistic price in January we will have to wait and see. Have you seen Sissoko play? I haven't to be honest, only thing i know is that he's a defensive midfielder. Probably in the same mould as Diarra, Diarra, Diarra, Diarra, Mbia and so on? Fuck me there's many Diarra's

Wouldn't mind Mbia either, also a young good player from the french league who's going to leave for next season, if not in january..

Anyone who can translate these articles? Not seen much about him, but a friend of mine who watches alot more of the french league says he's a future star. And FM people also "wonderkid" The top one says we went to watch him on Thursday in the Uefa cup and that we've already got Bassong in defence and hope to have the same success with Sakho, says we are willing to pay 8 million euros. The second one says we've already passed on an initial oofer of 8 million euros to PSG. Cheers. I hope that we go after young players. If we pick the right ones they will add quality for now and the future and could be a good investment. Instead of going for past it players like Luque who was on his way down men we splashed £10m on him and went for close to nothing (to name one of many bad signings for us)

What has impressed me alot is the way he's playing when considering he's still so young. Many young defenders have alot of rough edges and make the wrong decision here and there a little bit too often, young players often want to succeed a little bit too much, like instead of being calm and intelligent many younger ones throw them around everywhere and goes down for a sliding tackle when it's not needed, it's a much safer option going in the other players way or push him off the ball and just continue with the ball safely and pick a simple pass. Of course it's still early to say too much, but i've been very impressed so far with his way of defending and long may it continue..
