Could be that the player had complained and asked the club's press officers to deny it. Think it was one of the journos who asked the club about it IIRC. And you know this via...........twitter!

Aye, it has been the breakthrough summer for Twitter - no doubt. Doubt i'll be foollowing Cwarris mind

We need some strength in depth - no one will/ should be peddled

It did at least confirm we were after Tiote... Would have been nice if the club had just come out and denied it but then that may have just sparked the fires more. Does make you think that Peruvian bloke was actually telling the truth then for him to mention this. Yeah does seem to ring true. In which case we were pissing the lad around something chronic

yes Gravesen assaulted him He's only just below Anichebe's knee there. Both terrible challenges. Only because he almost has his knee on the ground. Didn't Everton score while Bernard was on the floor?

24 'a good age' etc etc

Apart from the cote d'ivoire reference

Only a mater of time until he does that to us, blah, blaah, blah

8 caps, what is the work permit criteria?

It'll be the pre Villa conference won't it?

Aye - you see Chris' name and think it is an exotic media source

Modric was well before the end of the season and so had little, if anything, to do with season ticket sales.

As I've understood it the ball is in our court and we only need to accept Marseille's terms, but we apparently won't. It's all achingly frustrating

Fair analysis that I think HT

Williamson looks like he'll be fine against our real rivals (ie) bottom half teams

Too early to tell isn't it? I was impressed by the spirit shown tonight. We only need to be better than West Brom, Blackpool and an other and we'll be fine. There has to be a chnace of that, right?

Good luck to the lad

I've tried to avoid it, but i've just You Tubed him. Big mistake - appetite whetted and I'll be even more gutted when it doesn't happen.

That'd be a bit deep for Nolan He's quite a bright lad apparently.

That point has been made a few times - but the short term rules for us at the minute

Just read on one of the French paper sites (sorry can't remember which one) that Niang was sold against Deschamps wishes. They are all over the shop this club like.

He does strike you as a bit of a renegade

So Dassler's a xenophobe too

Can't belive he's holed up in a hotel waiting to deal with us. Worryingly I think his people have said he is here for a couple of days and Marseille have said that they are now concentrating on football matters until monday. This one will run and run I'm sure.

Class!!
