lovejoy

i'd take him over taylor every day of the week. Always liked him. we'll be in for him I reckon, not because of his ability/suitbality mind, but simply because his contract is up in a year.

yep, its him.

He's a great lad Ben, know him well. He's been working for fa at St Georges Park. Benton lad, to honest for this lot!

cheers!

got a link?

:lol: got you!

in what way? are we still involved with him? i thought that died after barton

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/2008/02/29/kev-s-baf-time-89520-20335457/ £12million seems like alot, he any good like? 6 years strong. has there ever been a more drawn out saga? over 6 years ffs!

time to bump given the mail and mirror articles! here we go again!

Think he'll prove to be a good singing.

sidwell, shelvey, bent. Pardew is recruiting allies, regardless of age or ability.

Luke Shaw to man utd has stalled apparently.

Sam Allardyce? Souness? This twat beats them both, by a distance man.

in depth article!

Surely no way the turnover will be that big? I can't remember ever experiencing a window like that, much less under Ashley. Understand that point but there's quite a few due to go without even thinking too hard about it: - Jonas - Shola - Remy - Gosling - HBA - Obertan - Marv There's 7 without allowing for good bids or players wanting away (Debuchy possibly?) It's going to be quite the summer for changes I reckon. Just a shame the coaching staff and manager will still be here come August. My fear is we replace the bulk of them with english grafters like Colback etc. Edit - We're also too light on squad numbers so the 8-9 incoming that Lovejoy mentioned, has to be a good bet given those leaving. ignore my response, this one sums it up better!

I can't remember ever experiencing a window like that, much less under Ashley. i would usually say the same, but: marv ben arfa obertan remy de jong jonas theres 6 before we even star on the likes of debuchy, krul and the loanees who are currently out, and probably wont be back. we'll have the biggest turnover in my time as a fan this summer i think.

I agree with Dave. We'll spend, more than we have done in recent years. Won't make a difference though, the manager is a useless cunt. My prediction is around 7 or 8 will leave, and 9 or 10 will come in, with an emphasis on English.

The luxury coach almost certainly happened, I can remember reading about it in The Chronicle at the time he bought it for £750,000. wow!

will laugh like fuck if he walks, would really like us to take him as well.

Keegan and him were mates if my memory is any good, didn't the Sultan buy us a new coach when Keegan was manager and took the players over to his country? there was def a link, not sure on the coach tale though?

Would be dreamland stuff that. There was always a rumour about the Sultan of Brunei when he was about, wasnt there? Imagine! The same sultan that's just enforced sharia law on his country? No thanks. he loves the toon though! so, swings and roundabouts and all that!

Couldnt agree more, I go to bed every night (sad as fuck I know) looking forward to what the next day will bring in terms of shit being thrown at them. Im even more excited about our games than I have been in two years in the hope that we'll get the hiding of a fucking lifetime, which tells you all you need to know about where we are at present.

dont care what anyone says, i'd give my right fucking arm for him to be our gaffer again.

In contrast, a good few stoke fans on the forum appear to absolutely despise Pulis. so, in short, i've spent an hour on other forums and discovered sweet fuck all of any note.
