Really unsure about this guy. He's 26 and has only had one spell in Europe at Monaco in which he was unsuccessful. Now by the sounds is surplus at Valencia despite them signing him only this season.

I'm sure the club didn't go an injury its players to enhance his chances of being started. It's called bad luck... Is it? Have you seen our strikers' injury records? Yes a player getting injured is bad luck. What would you call it? No, it's just not. Players who have records of repeat muscle strains/tears are more like to suffer recorrunces. See Duff, Dyer, Emre, Viduka etc.

Ah no for £12 million pounds they were dead right Yeah, because it's worth fucking up our season for £12 million.

If it's worth £120,000 per week as SSN is saying then we've done everything we possibly can. Nobody can blame us now if he doesn't sign a new contract.

Where are you getting all this Valencia stuff from? All the reports are saying Valencia will sign him and then send him on loan to us for a year.

good call-the only thing that concerns me is that when he moved to pompey he said it was a stepping stone for him and comming here he would stillsee it as a stepping stone to a reglular champions league team. He's a class act thou and would fit into our team perfectly.ill be pissed off if he went to spurs and we didnt try and get him Get real. Diarra won't be coming here. He won't leave pompey for a club that doesn't have at the very least UEFA Cup football.

Of course it could be that he was never actually coming here in the first place ! Not what Hamubrg's website is saying.

I'd take the 10 mill and risk it. Would leave a hole in the squad. It would but it's worth the risk isn't it? I'd be more than happy shifting Gutierrez on the right and putting Zog on the left, then we have Geremi or Duff who neither are ideal but will do. Duff's a crock. Zoggy hasn't been at his best for a while. Geremi has good delivery but no pace. Really wouldn't like to be relying on those 3.

£10m is insane...but I'd still only sell if we can get a replacement in before the end of the window.

I still think the signings will come Friday. Wednesday sort the plans out at board level. Thursday make the moves. Friday start to complete or complete the deals.

I really don't see why the club released the statement. It does nothing to help the situation, especially if he ends up having to stay.

Is a left winger.

I really don't think there is any piont about talking about this combo atm. I honestly believe Barton will be banned and subsequently unfit until after christmas and you'd have thought if we don't get another CM now we'll get one in January.

Valencia it is then.

Wolud love Valencia here.

Think it's because he wanted number 10 but Freddy Eastwood already has it.

We can only sell him if we get a replacement imo. No matter how much money Villa offer we cannot afford to lose another first team player without replacing him.

Seemed to tire and lose concentration as the game went on imo. Looked very good for the first 80 mins though.

Desperatly need to get those 3 in that Keegan wants. I presume it's a LB, CM and a Striker. We'll be really short imo if we don't get them in, especially the CM.

I'd go something similar but with Enrique in at LB and Bassong replacing one of the CB's.

Lua Lua is still injured methinks.

Hope not tbh. Carling Cup is a competition we could go far in. In a way would rather field the weakened team at Arsenal as we'll likely get beat or only pick up a piont there anyway whereas the Carling Cup if we field a full strength team we could likely make it the the Quarters or maybe even further.

Anton Ferdinand off to Sunderland it seems. Again, like of a few of Sunderland's signings, I wouldn't want him here but he is definetly an improvement over what they have.

Yep, but Wenger said he was too young to go out on loan at the time.

Malouda is a left winger.
