ABola says both transfers are agreed. But it wouldnt really make sense for a club llike united to gamble big money on two foreign, untried youngsters. Surely it makes the most sense for someone like United as - They're loaded. - Their team is quality already. - They're renowned for developing great talents. - There'll be no pressure for them to step into the first team straight away and contribute massively.

Thought of you the second I heard this. You turned me against him... I hope you can live with yourself. Not my fault you're so weak-minded tbh. Did you rate him particularly highly beforehand?

Great stuff, can't imagine we'll be daft enough to reject that.

I thought he did follow them. Dunno, suppose he might.

Raiders would suit him tbh.

The practice squad, which will be trimmed quite significantly before the season starts. Basically in NFL pre-season you need more players to do all the training exercises, so players are brought in for a small wage and the majority will be cut before the actual season begins.

I never knew the NBA had squads of over 80+ players. Squad Depth FFS! NFL squads don't tend to have many more than 55 either, and have more backroom staff than 25 and all.

Be hilarious if we signed Offensive and Defensive Co-Ordinators. Great article though and this is my favourite aspect of the Allardyce appointment. Regardless of whether we do well on the pitch, you do feel that he will really modernise everything about how we are run behind the scenes.

There's always time to rape kittens like, cute little things.

ordinary players ---- like at porto? like at Chelsea So he's had ordinary players at Chelsea?

Haim Ben isn't his first name like, it's part of his surname. In case anyone's thinking of getting it on their shirt.

I'll be so happy for Kevin Phillips if he's stuck in the Championship next year while Sunderland, his spiritual home whom he rejected on deadline day, are in the midst of a revolution under new owners.

Ameobi and Crouch up front would be dynamite.

22nd of June from what I hear, so expect nothing for a month at least.

That'd be fantastic just before he came on as a sub.

Would he not be much the same as Jenas, though? Would seem a strange signing for Spurs.

What???????????? He was saying that he just wanted to follow on the trend and type like he did because it seemed cool. Regards, Shak

What a fantastic name as well. http://daniel.tipos.com.br/media/315/20050424-vnr_10.jpg Blatantly the coolest guy ever. I can imagine St. James' in a chorus of 'All you need is Love'. Love will tear you apart. Blatantly. For some reason I had it in my head he was a defender, yours is much better all the same.

You're right, it does sound stupid. I'm loving the changed thread title, it implies that Cicinho is somehow less random than other Brazilians. i know I just had to say it..we are looking for a playmaker, why not shock the world and buy a former legened, nice shirt sales, he's peformence didnt chance alot (scored 15 in 24 last season) , he technique is still one of the best in the world, and he's here for free..why not take him as a back up for our team, Doubt he'd want to be a back-up, and his wages would likely be astronomical for a back-up. It really doesn't make much sense from any perspective. Watch as we go and sign him now and make me look properly stupid.

Spot On. Could only see him ever flourishing as a wing-back, and even then he'd still be suspect defensively.

Nowt wrong with that lot like. When I first saw the third picture I though he was doing a Scarface job with a heap of Coke.

Never rated Forlan too highly, just a guy with a very powerful shot really. He's Martins basically, only without the pace and the potential to improve his first touch as he gets older. I think Adriano would be worth a punt tbh, as if he started playing well again he'd be an ideal target man type up front which, something I believe Allardyce will be looking to add. Not entirely impossible we'd have a chance at getting him either if Inter want to sell and we're interested, as I can't see the really top clubs taking a risk on him. Not sure Inter will be keen to sell though tbh.
