Stange one, if true. Give the boy a chance and if not good enough, move him on. No point in selling talented youngsters for peanuts. It seems that Lua Lua wants to leave though

, that'll do.

He is replacing Mario Gomez who is coming here. Makes sense then.

Regarding Gomez, I have no idea how he's done in the last few years. My last memory of him was 5 years ago when he was s****. Can anyone shed some light on his recent form? 39 goals last season I'm hearing?

My feelings exactly.

Gervinho has said he wants to come to England anyway. Gervinho says a lot of things. as time goes on, it's looking less likely that he'll sign for us.

Whoever it is, this news is promising. The fact that we're actively pursuing targets is brilliant

thats him off then. Fecking NOTW!

The People, EDIT: though that £126 million budget means that Football Manager has finally become a reality (not really, having thought about Real Madrid's spending sprees). *should really think before I post*

:lol: nice article there from Jim Hughes.

Oh dear journalism these days.......

That is a great photo.

Sounds like something from Dream Team

I'm confident that we'll have a squad capable of finishing in the top half at the very least. Top 7 however.....it'll be a very close fight for 7th.

Interesting. Seems like a reasonable offer imo.

This, wasn't it £6 million a week ago? EDIT: I refer to my post, , what a laughable offer. West Ham can seriously just f*** off with any offer they come in with. Change West Ham to "Any club".

Wasn't he getting racially abused though? Ah right, well then imo he had every right to react in that way.

Ah right, well now I'm slightly worried

Good.

Hmmm, Got no problem with signing these types... but it just makes it crucial to keep Nolan/Barton to hold the team mentality and togetherness together. Definitely agree with that. Mind you, the only thing I've heard about Ba being disruptive was when he refused to play for Hoffenheim after they said that they wouldn't allow him to leave for the PL.

That's definitely odd.

I thought he was slated for some of his performances at right back? (I could be completely wrong mind). You are more than likely correct tbh. I just get an idea in my head and run with it until someone makes me look like an idiot. I don't have a clue really, I'm just guessing! I just seem to remember him having a few stinkers when he played at right back.
