Four or five of the right quality going straight into the first team will transform us. Carr, Ramage and probably Rozehnal will be leaving anyway (contracts up/Lazio), so that's two ot three more I suppose. i agree it will transform the first team, but our issues are much deeper than that, i'd like to see a lot more than 3,4 or 5 of the current squad leave, and we're thin now

Lying again, I don't know. please dont.

we need more than 3,4 or 5 imo. that number would have done for januray for starters. i reckon we need about ten all in all, 5 to come straight in to the team and about 5 for the squad

all we need now is for smith, butt, barton and duff to have the same op, and we can freshen things up like we need to to play blackburn

i think its good news, gives harper a good chance

i na, what a cunt that would be eh

everton are a quality side now. very well balanced, they've got a good mixture of pace and are very good defensively, they also have people who can score all over the pitch. just shows you don't have to throw stupid amounts of money around to get success, they've built gradually and are strating to look very good. i echo nut's feelings that i wish we had been found out like city have! they are strating to look pretty average again, i think they need something in the middle, on the right 9buster bloodvessel's nee good) and another forward. no reason why they wont get them all in the summer though

It's a bit s*** if pulling him off was all that stopped him from coming here.

the way i saw it, sky were explaining what happens now, not next year. im sure its always been 5th place and the cup winners, its the fact that the top 4 have always won the cups that 6th is nearly always a uefa spot? or so i thought

one very good signing would instil a confidence for others to follo. i honestly feel if we had pulled woody off in jan then a couple more may have come in.

Couldn't agree more, the squad will be good enough to get us into europe.

FWIW i dont think we need to sign anyone next season. we're mint.

HE MEANT THAT SPENDING BIG ISNT HE BE ALL AND END ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck me. its a combination of things, spending big is all well and good, but its only one of the ingredients for success.

I'm sorry but I can't believe someone is this stupid. NOBODY SAID WE DON'T NEED TO SIGN ANY NEW PLAYERS

i think he meant that spending big isnt the be all and end all, pretty much like he said!

he wont reduce i dont think. i woudl honestly take the risk and see how he, and we do next season. im not fussed at all what happens to him like

precisely. i think its good that we've kept round on as well

yep, assistant manager according to ssn

i see anal claims hughton has been brought in to sort out the defence. im pretty sure spuds main issue under jol was at the back? hope im wrong like

fucking christ on a bike.

'i hated the 90,000? are you sure?' comment. wankers. as you say, it was a pen man, fuck me relax.

didnt bridge threaten to quit if he wasnt in or sumit?

why anyone would 'double up' on duff is beyond me. if it was possible to put half a man on a player, if i was a manager, i would take up that option when playing against a team that had duff in it. It's generally the case though. Most wide players find two players in front of them, Zog usually cuts inside to get round this, Duff usually loses the ball while trying to stay wide. Milner loses it while going wide and cutting inside. On the few occasions he gets behind the defender he checks back to let them catch up which isn't too hard. ah i know mate, i wasnt saying you were wrong, i was just stressing how shite i think duff is

aye, i'd like to see him back in for blackburn. we need to freshen things up, i'd like to see enrique, geremi (cant believe im saying that) and oba back in at the weekend.

Christ. He's only broken a bone, not become permanently disabled. He'll get the best medical care going, and probably earn more you ever will in you life - just while he's on the sick. So what? Still a pretty sick chant. I wouldn't wish an injury like that on anyone and money isn't everything. Bollocks. I bet if someone offered you £500k to break your left ankle, you'd throw in the right one in for nowt. Not really no, £500k would always be nice but I don't need it. the money or your ankle(s)?
