Ashley17

.com say there's an offer in for him...

I can't get over that s*** though. NOW? HE'S JUST REALISED NOW? He basically logged on to his laptop today and was checking his e-mails and he got one of those reminders in Outlook saying the start of the season was 2 days away and he's s*** himself.

From that lot, there's only Enrique I'd like to keep. Colo sort of, until we get a new CB, mainly because we're down to him and Taylor as senior centre backs.

From .com Butt

The beeb ran with the Shepherd bid as well and their sources told them it would be accepted iirc.

I don't care if the defenders are disabled, he can out run them all day but he will always be a shit finisher.

The goals don't get bigger in the Championship, or the Bundesliga, no matter where he plays he will still be dozy. £9.5m is great business.

He is like a much shitter version than Lescott I suppose.

Breaking news on SSN: Signed for Wolfsburg, 4 year deal.

Read that on NUFC blog yesterday, amazed it's come true.

RIP Sir Bobby, a true legend. Best wishes to his family

I think they're all terrified of being stitched up. They aren't going to re-hash the Sun and they can't find anything of their own, so it's a bit of a dead end. Bit surprised nobody is carrying the Arabian News site's quotes though.

First Hogan now Angle. This thread ffs.

Looks like Shane McMahon (pre-gray obviously)

Doing a bit of sleuthing: http://www.persianfootball.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1411515&postcount=22 Can't be arsed to register so, enjoy a picture of a man.

Guess we should see what the papers have tomorrow, I'm expecting a series of denials (Louise Taylor - Exclusive: Keano fools Toon with Iran prank) and the Sun running with it, in a state of disbelief that their random name generator has resulted in this mess.

Mike Ashley is an anagram of limey shake but does he sell lime flavoured shakes?

The Sun had quotes from Llambias saying we could be sold next week. They also had quotes from this Mahjoob guy's spokesperson saying he was in talks. At about 1pm, an Arabian News website carried quotes from Mahjoob saying what is now the thread title, and that he was doing it for Iranian football. This guy can not be googled. See James vs cristian.

.com reported at the time we'd bid £2m, everyone was furious about how small the offer was.

All I've learnt today is that smouch.net/lol is blocked at work. And boy am I relieved

The trouble is allegedly in the translation. We don't think he exists and he thinks he's buying Manchester United
