Mainly because people basically stopped posting and the forum was dead.

I'm sure it's July 1st. It's not. It's June 1st.

Have they actually signed Distin yet?

Doubt it means Campbell will leave. It's far more likely Primus will be the one they drop or sell.

Link SAM ALLARDYCE'S rebuilding programme has been given the green light to go for first base, after Bolton reluctantly granted Newcastle United permission to speak to one of his key lieutenants. Mark Taylor, head of sports science and medicine at the Reebok Stadium, has been singled out by the new Magpies boss as the ideal man to eradicate the club's long-standing poor injury record. And Taylor, originally from the North-East before his playing career took him to the west of the country, could begin talks with Newcastle before the end of the week.

This doesn't really effect me as I have above the neccesary amount of posts but it seems to me a better way of managing the whole thing would to be to increase the number of global moderators and moderators. To be fair while their are some idiots who post crap I would say the majority of new users post sensibly and their new threads are usually good.

Good. Signing Distin would be an awful move. Vastly overrated by many on this board.

Will go to another Champions League club. No chance of him coming here.

Fair enough ... The thing is though ... we could do with some 'decent' players at this club. We have "decent" players in Shola and Carroll. What we need is proven goalscorers.

Very harsh. He's had a superb season... 18 goals and 11 assists, and some of his goals have been absolute peaches. Heck of a strike on him. And his ability to beat players is first class. Don't know where you got your 18 goal statistic from but from what I can see it is incorrect. According to PSV's website he got 10 goals in 27 Eredivisie games, which is very unimpressive considering that most teams in that league are Championship/League 1 standard. Then in the Champions league he got 2 goals in 9 games and both those goals came against Galatasaray. Not exactly the sort of scoring record you'd want from a Premiership striker.

Kone is rubbbish. He looks OK in the Eredivisie but he deosn't exactly set the world on fire in that division.

I read on the BBC the other day the 3 British teams that will be invited will be Chelsea, Rangers and Celtic. It said nothing about us http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6667439.stm That's the link to the article from Thursday with quotes from the new G14 president Aulas.

Possibly, I'd prefer it to be a midfielder though, .: Emre is a possible contender. You are kidding me? How on earth can anybody recommend Emre to be captain, he is highly inconsistant and often is non-existant in certain games, not to mention the fact that on several occasions he's lost his head with players or refs and had to be restrained by members of our team. Gets stuck in, gives his all, can PASS the ball, played at the highest level, has big asperations, doesn't take defeat lying down, the potential (under a good manager) to be a very good player. .: a contender. HIGHLY disagree with the first three. On his day he can do all those things and he can look like a top level europeon player. The only problem is that in every match I have seen him play he will have at least one 20-30 minute spell where he can't pass for shit, will walk around the pitch and won't make a single tackle. A brilliant example of that was Reading at home where for the last 10 minutes of the first half he took his foot of the pedal and in that period Reading scored twice to go in front. As for get stuck in and gives his all just watch the goals against Sheffield United at SJP or Reading's second goal at SJP and tell me if that is getting stuck in.

No chance of us getting Nolan tbh. I'd say he is impossible for us to purchase simply because Gartside knows what a blow it would be to Bolton not only to lose both Allardyce and Nolan, but to lose them both to a club who finished 6 places lower than them. It would show a major lack of ambition to move forward and it would seriously affect their attendances and other aspects of the club. Maybe he'd be available to us in a summer or two but I think at the moment he is off the table.

Doubt their is any truth in this. He has used the claim of Premiership interest many times any nothing has materialised.

That confirmed?

At the end of the day being a journalist is about selling papers, it's not really about whether their is any truth in the story.

Not overly keen on him.

As I said in the other post he won't even get introduced to Sam as when he returns for preseason training it will be with PSV. The loan deal was agreed before Roeder was sacked.

Forster is 19, as is Krul. Forster is only a month older than Krul.

The academy is wank. The academy that has been to two consecutive FA Youth Cup semi-finals with one of the youngest squads about is wank? Yes. Sorry for the very valid opinion. It's not really a valid opinion unless you back it up with some evidence. I could make a sweeping statement like "Shearer has always been shit" but that doesn't make it a valid opinion.

Link That says we could be playing Bradford Park Avenue, most likely in late July.

Will be playing Juventus at SJP in late July, most likely the week before the Amsterdam tournament.
