Absolutely, i mean they would improve any squad but it's still lightyears from a serious title challenge. They 2/3 more Torres calibre players if they have any hope and lets be hojnest liverpool don't have the money to do that. Although, odly it's going to take similar money to get Barry and Keane.... baffling TBH.

Good. Bad. It's bad regardless of whether we want to keep him. Having him out is far better for selling him and obviously we need him back in training if we want to keep him. I just hope Keegan and co are prepared for the new season, whatever they decide.

I'm envious of you. If i were you i would have complete trust in Arsenes transfer plans. If he sells Adebayor for 30m, you will be laughing all the way to the bank.

He seriously believes with Keane in his side he can mount a title challenge? Keanes a bloody good player but Benitez is mad if he thinks he will transform their fortunes. Surely Berbatov is more "do-able" than Keane? Oh and yes Benitez is being a wanker with the way he's going about his transfers.

Couldn't agree more but i just feel KK will go back, mainly because of the argys arrival. Suggests the use of wingers sadly.

Denied early release, has to stay in for another month. Which means he will miss the start of the season.

Well done mate, just ruined your career by joining a nothing league, all because fener are in europe. At least he didn't join the mackems.

That sounds pretty good like. Sounds pretty good but i think the formation was dependant of Viduka holding up the ball. TBH, i don't believe for a second we will be playing that formation next season. I think we will revert back to 442.

Would take him anyday. I know he failed somehow at Arsenal, but I still think he's made for EPL... He's got most of the core attributes, Stength, Pace as well as a good ability on the ball and for at least a season a good eye for goal. However, i would never play him as a striker, he simply is never going to be prolific enough. I think he would make a craking attacking midfielder though, chipping in with enough goals to satisfy the position.

If we were to sign him, we would have to choose a long term position for him. Fantastic technical ability, just needs to find that end product of either goals or assists.

Want this saga over with TBH. Time for him to knuckle down or fuck off.

Ramos might be making a shocking mistake by buying spanish (by spanish i mean spain orientated and brazilians). Some talented players over there but alot of them don't have the physical attributes or mental stamina to cope with this league. For example the goal keeper gomes had some dodgy moments whilst playing for PSV, this league is far more intense and you need massive balls to be a keeper. Modric, Dos Santos and Luis Garcia all seem lightweight players. Not garuenteed to fail but far riskier purchases.

The calm before a storm, maybe they have given up?

What worries me is peoples insistance that we should be looking to sign players like Veloso from Sporting as apposed to solid players such as Sidwell. Now i'm not saying that Veloso is a bad player but is a far bigger risk signing player from inferior leagues. I'd rather rely on KK's coaching ability that picking players who are popular at the time. When Sidwell signs for Villa it will be another cracking piece of buisness from O'Neill and he will be a good player for them next year.

Is there anyone who doesn't? the truth hurts just like when i knew Jonas is not our next Ginola.... Noooo! Not a Ginola-clone!? Instant fail. never said he will fail. in fact i say he will be a fans fave. You compare him to Milner and Butt, as well as saying he will never be as good as Ginola, then you say he will be a fans favourite? Contradiction.

Gerry Armstrong- "I don’t think Kevin could have signed a better player for Newcastle from La Liga because he has all the attributes needed to be a success in the Premier League" So Maethis, you believe that your opinion is more valuable than that of someone who watches almost every single game that La Liga has to offer? I'm not saying he's going to be a success or not, what i am saying is that you clearly don't know what your talking about.

Anyone else think that Maethis is annoying as fuck?

Sidwell isn't a defensive midfielder. Neither was speed mate. People are being far too simplistic about this. In my opinion Sidwell would make an excellent signing if we converted him into a DM, for the long term. i.e use coaching skills.... they haven't been used in a while at our club.

Tremendous, i'm a big fan of Sidwell. Imagine if he joined Villa, O'Neill would undoubtebly turn him into one of the countries top midfielders. He worked wonders with Reo-Coker, the same would happen again. Very impressed with O'Neills ability to spot a good player and raise his game.

i totally agree - they look like a good side imo If they were to sign say SWP they would have a easily enough for top 6 next year which is no laughing matter.

If they run their football clubs like their terrorist organisations i'm all for it, very well run.

It's not great news really. They will have Defoe and Crouch up front next season and a fairly strong unit behind them. Good signing for Harry Reknapps men.

Seems alot of re-hash like. Suspect there isn't alot of substance to this one.
