Unbelievable

Besides from our match, quite looking forward to Liverpool vs the mackems. Should be a good watch, even though it will be hard seeing Carroll and Enrique out there for the bin dippers.

That sig man. What the f***? Get it removed please. +1 Disgusting. Off topic...but what was it? Some giant turtle completely ripping up a mouse/rat in two and the front part of the mouse/rat with all its guts hanging out frantically trying to escape.. Not a very nice thing to see when you're having breakfast I can assure you..

That sig man. What the f***? Get it removed please. +1 Disgusting. That sig man. What the f***? Get it removed please. Agreed. Quite disturbing for a forum, not that I really care but its a bit too much for many I think. Ditto. My stomach twists when I see it. Please remove it. Sorry. http://vanishingspecies.pbworks.com/f/sad_turtle.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r319/madmadamemae/HappyTurtle.jpg?t=1241993684

That sig man. What the fuck? Get it removed please.

Just read on a PSV forum (reading up on Pieters) that the Sun is apparently reporting interest in Inter's Davide Santon.. He any good? Edit: just did some Dennis Wise style scouting and based on that: YES PLEASE! Quite similar to Enrique in style.

I don't think he's ever played centre back really.

Asking price reported in Dutch media: 7 million euros.

Liverpool offered him to us as part of the deal and Ashley said no. Also Jose had told the club if they didn't let him go he would buy himself out of his contract at xmas. Surely would have made sense. dave it would make perfect sense, its a no brainer considering our squad needs TWO left backs!! Source?

Why? Who would be next? Dennis Wise?

Took Ashley just 6 months to break the spirit of the man.. If you read the interview you'll see it had nowt to do with that. He was just a realist. Only now though with City & Spurs, top 4 is top 6. Just 3 seasons ago Spurs were in the lower regions of the Premiership themselves. What makes the league so cast in stone today that with some healthy ambition and the right level of investment we can't turn the tables on the likes of them again..? Of course, without such ambition and investment you are probably even being overly optimistic with your suggestion of aiming for a top 8 position..

Contrast that to what our then manager said about us a mere 3 and a half seasons ago.. Didn't he say after the Chelsea game that we were nowhere near them either? He found out what Ashley & Co are really about by then.. The penny seemingly still hasn't dropped for you more than three years later.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7368688.stm Nothing to do with Ashley, the whole interview was spot on. Ironically, Ashley begged to differ: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/may/09/keegansurvivesashleytalks?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487

Even without the ones who have left, Krul, Coloccini, Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas, Ben Arfa, Ba, etc. is the core of a good solid top 8 squad. If players want to leave that then that's their choice but we're still attractive. Besides from Cabaye and Ben Arfa, which of those players has been proven as capable at playing consistently in a top 8 side of any European league, let alone the Premiership..? Even then, those 2 have it all to prove in the Prem.

What gets me is all these new players coming in commenting about being impressed with the level of ambition of the club. What are they telling them to convince them to come here? Also, most of our recent departures have commented about broken promises and lies in the media regarding their contract situation etc. I find it baffling that so many on here can defend bad decision after bad decision from Ashley & Co, when it's glaringly obvious they are taking us all along for a ride..

How so?

Contrast that to what our then manager said about us a mere 3 and a half seasons ago..

Don't push your luck. We do though.. People don't realise how lucky we have been with Enrique's injury record (or lack thereof). Realistically, we need a first team left back and somebody who can cover naturally in that position.

Our "medical team" can fuck right off!

In a flash

Shambolic

Groundhog day!

Wonder what the craic with his contract situation is..

How would that work?
