This deal gets more complicated by the day:Link Now Velez say they want him to report to training on 7th July.

Link?

3 very decent signings for them, been extremely impressed by Brown. Seems to be adopting the Allardyce tactic of signing more experienced players. Those 3 would all be very good signings for them.

Sunday 4pm KO for our first game of the season on Sky Possibilty we could be on Setanta Sep 20 if their prefered game is blocked Oct 5th 1:30 on Sky Oct 25th 12:45 on Sky Tue Oct 28th 8pm Sky Nov 2nd 4pm Sky Sat 29th Nov 12:45pm That's the list going round various forums. You can look for yourselves to see what fixtures happen to coincide with those dates.

19 days until were in action again!

Just the Sun jumping the gun.

Was just going to post something identical to this. Some communication would definetly be nice. We don't want Keegan or Wise to come out and name the players were after but it would be nice to hear something about how the club is getting on e.g things are going well, we'll probobly have 1 in in the next 2 weeks etc. As for Ashley it would be very nice if he could give an interview to the main site stating his intentions and his future vision to the club rather than (apparently) giving his only interview ot the NOTW and leaving the fans unsure if it's legit or not.

We won't be signing Zarate. Lazio are paying 20m euros for HALF of him, the other half is going to continue to be owned by MSI, which again would be a further problem to us buying him. If we are signing him because of Premier league rules concerning 3rd party owership we'd have to pay £31m, if were going by the fee they have negotiated with Lazio.

Just shown CCTV of his December assault which he got jailed for on ITV news. It's fucking disgraceful, he throws atleast a dozen punches and to make it worst the first punch has already knocked the poor guy to floor and Barton then just pummels the guy while he's defenceless and trying to get away. I was on the sack him side before but now my mind is 100% made up. Don't want scum like this playing for my club.

Last Shepherd season: 13th First Ashley season: 12th To me that's going forwards not backwards.

Thought it was classy of Sergio Ramos to put a Antonio Puerta shirt on for the victory celebrations, shows he hasn't been forgotten amongst all this.

Depends on the price. He's better than Smith but I wouldn't pay anything over £4m becuase he hasn't played at his best for 3 years now.

Some of these posts on here are great. Suddenly he goes from being a amazing player to a pile of crap after one game. Personnally I'm still on the amazing player side. Fingers crossed though chairmen around Europe are as fickle as some people on here and they'll not pursue their interest. *Wishful thinking*

Similar to Arsenal. No chance of these kids becoming first-teamers this season.

Good news. Hopefully some of these youngsters will turn out to be decent players.

No, it would ruin it. Half the reason that shirt looks so good is because the sponsor is so small and flat anyway. You'd have job pursuading any sponser to pay full price and have their logo that small.

So, we are obviously in dire need of a creative midfielder. Who does everyone think we could get in and who'd improve us? I still think Palacios would be a good option personally. I'd be tempted to say Veloso but even though he hardly played at Euro 2008 I think he might be a bit out of our reach.

God, these top 3 threads are depressing. Turan to Italy, Arshavin to Barca and Gomis staying.

Probably because they are a better team... 2 points better. Anyway he said it was because he didnt want to move to the midlands didnt he? He hasn't said anything. Oliver said it was because he didn't want to move to the midlands.

Can't shoot for shit. As crazy as it sounds I'll stick by that comment. I've watched all of Russia's games this tournament and a bit of Spartak and he's had some awful misses. He's the sort of striker who would succeed at a good team who would create many chances for him but if he were to come here where he'd get 1 or 2 good chances per game I'm not so sure he'd bury them.

I actually think this is a good chance for McClaren. Average sized club in a very average league in terms of standard with the lure of CL football.

Woop still 3rd!

Linked with West Brom according to todays Chronicle.

Can't shoot for shit.

On the Russian version their is a Q&A with Arshavin from today. Relevant Stuff: Q: What about your future? What can you tell us about the June 20th deadline? A: At the moment I can not tell you anything new The rest of it focuses on Russia, Euro 2008 and Zenit's UEFA Cup win.
