To be fair, the main strikers at these clubs in recent years have ended up at places like Boro & Cardiff. Ha, indeed

Aye, I'd definitely take him now.

Don't fall for it. Hope is the cruelest emotion! Indeed....

Yep.

Went to the same school as Beardsley's son.

Wilshere's withdrawn from the squad too.

Barton

We won't spend money on European players at half the price, what chance we'll spunk £20m on Sturridge and the like? Less than 0% squared.

Hmmm

@lee_ryder Lee Ryder #nufc I'm told Joey Barton trained with the first team today 36 seconds ago via web

As has been mentioned in the Arsenal pre-match thread: @Joey7Barton Joseph Barton @simonbirdmirror that comment was not literally to be taken on board, meant to aimed at over the coming seasons. Know one knows the team yet

S*** stirring as usual.

He is Celtic's main striker, don't think he'll be cheap (or for sale for that matter). Wouldn't mind him here tbh.

Maybe....

Isn't that Ant & Dec as well Perfect. Aye it is!

Are we allowed to sign the same player 3 times in a year? We'll be granted special dispensation in this case.

Unfortunately so.

Happy days! But on the plus side, once he comes back he actually will be like a new signing

He was having a dig at the journos. Aye, that's the way I see it but like bimpy has said, the journalists will find some way to twist his words (like our very own Lee Ryder).

I am so fkn happy he is though, this is one occasion where I hope his childishness wins Aye.....

No idea I check that BBC page every night as they list the headlines first, never seen them quote footybunker before. Maybe the person doing the gossip column on the BBC website got bored and decided to close their eyes and choose a random story from footybunker.........

Why have the BBC stooped so low as to quote clearly bollocks sources?
