Just call him steve. Does that make me Cheick?

.com saying they cannot at present confirm or deny the 'in the region for a medical' claims doing the rounds

Aye - they've not failed to score as yet this season

Only c***s and virgins use that picture. Which are you? :facepalm: Ah, both then

Wendy will let us know

The France Football stuff is from yesterday as far as I can tell. the only stuff they have from today is quoting the Daily mail

He was a right twunt on Sunday too

Villa lol

You think Routledge has offered more than Jonas? Think he might have missed Sunday's match

it is all about depth though isn't it? As things stand we are an injury to a winger away from losing the balance that is necessary for our team to look anything like a threat against decent sides

Left-sided player, though, non? Jonas can play on the right though

Kev McDonald had a team e-i-e-i-o They came to toon and last 6-0 e-i-e-i-o With a Barton here a Nolan there, here a Caroll, there a Carroll everywhere an Andy Carroll Kev McDonald had a team e-i-e-i-o

Being from Congo stock you would imagine so Not sure - but he sure as shit drinks Um Bongo

Being from Congo stock you would imagine so He's starting for City tonight - looks like they might be using him in Europe

I still have my won't happen hat on. The default defense mechanism

The money from this deal may be used to pay kiosk staff or Llambias expense account. Does anyone think SportsDirect are paying money for there signs at max I reckon its mates rates, reality says f*** all. I think you miss my point - if the club as a whole is seen to be ambitious and procure decent players then I'd say people would be less inclined to criticise this kind of move. Their analysis of the unknowns (as lets face it - we know cock all) will be much more favourable

Ben Arfa reminds me of Bellamy, he's that type of player and I can't wait to see him in Black & White if he signs. If we do get him then I think we have a much better first 11 than what took us down and we'll give a lot of teams a lot of problems. This signing will mean that we're good enough to finish mid-table rather than possibly fighting to stay in the division, I feel like a kid at Christmas. Albeit one who is a bit worried that Santa is about to fuck him off and take all his presents to Germany

Cue, Ch saying 'speculation, no contact, group of lads etc' and bringing us full circle again

Christ i thought i'd done all my translating with bing for one summer, but it seems not

The money gained from this advertising could well be covering Ben Arfa's proposed loan fee. If that was the case would people look upon it more favourably. Said another way - if we get some more decent players in and the club is seen to be going forward then I would hope people would complain about this less.

That doesn't mean that somebody else in his position wouldn't have done the same, or more. Well CH obviously thought it was worth it and he seems to have been vindicated

Shola doesn't seem to improve with games and that's why I thought it was pointless. He scored though and we won - was some point in playing him then

Still a worry for me if aplayer is being peddled and the image is being given that it is a matter out of the manager's remit. Not sure it is of KK esque proportions but he gave the impression that he was out of the the loop and would be upset if ST left

Ashley doesn't own Sports Direct, if they advertise then they should pay, if they pay the going rate then I'm not bothered. He has a controlling stake in the business, and he's executive chairman He said should pay, not will

Isn't there a Shepherd link to ST's agents - probably a source of friction too
