Dyer assist?

Looks tasty and would rather have him than some mentioned lately.

Delete that youtube link or Dave will be after you. Never realised he was a freekick specialist.

........Eto'o Ronny...Kaka..Messi ....Essien..Gerrard.. Zambrotta..Terry..Puyol..Alves. .......Buffon.... I'd go with that.

Good post.

For da drop.

The Boumsong deal did indeed raise eyebrows.

God he's got a rather inflated view of himself and 'The French team' for that matter.

whinging fat bastard tbh, get shot and get Capello in

yes it did. I've not changed it. least i don't think i have. NAh, i'd remember if i'd done it yesterday. The mentals haven't kicked in THAT bad yet! Play safe.

That's so Alan Partridge-esque it's scary.

he's always supposedly injured before big events, though. I'm not sure about that. But he's been built up over there as some global superstar, and it'll become very obvious in the Chelsea game that there are better players around. If Mourinho had wanted him, he'd have bought him. It's a tricky one for Becks and I'm sure it has crossed his mind to sit this one out.

I must have missed the bit where Shepherd launched a counter bid and stopped the takeover from happening That was lost in the sub-space time fracture, can't really blame Vic for that. So, he wasn't 'spot on' then, was he? Tbf he has been known to bend reality.

Apart from the bit where he said that Shepherd would launch a counter-bid for the club. And it's pretty obvious that Shepherd's stay under Ashley is going to be a fleeting one. Thank You Too. The Greggs pasty horde counter bid failed......But it was close.

You liar it didn't say challenging yesterday as you well know.

Vic has been right about FS uptill now which must be gauling his usual detractors. Thank You.

I agree it is silly to talk budgets Sam will try and bring in all the people he needs as soon as possible and big names if they are available especially for branding reasons, something Ashley is keenly aware of.

I don't think that's what most people feel. For myself, I think that SA, pending Ashley's review, is proceeding with the kind of budget he would have had under Shepherd. More money will probably materialise, and some kind of "trophy signing" may be on the cards. Or not. If Oba's release clause gets triggered, for example, I imagine enough cash will materialise to buy a top-quality replacement. We may well splash out on a fancy playmaker. And more money will definitely be spent on the defence. What he said. I like the idea that we aren't running round with our cocks in our hands, throwing money at crap like we used to. I just wish we could get a true top class player to partner Owen long term, instead of the fat convict, and stop pretending that Babayaro is anything other than a big heap of jizz. Just going on the poll. Most people believe we have £10-15 million to spend. By my reckoning that is at best no more than most would have expected from the old regime, which strikes me as a little odd. I think there is a lot more available. I'd say £25m would be closer. Based on your ind-depth insider knowledge, like your "Roeder will be here next season", or your ability to make up shite, like your "Roeder will be here next season"? Don't know where you're getting that from I'd like to see a quote. Others on this site know I was one of the few that said Roeder wouldn't be here. It's clearly a total guess right as is seems we are thinking of £58m for Ronny. I see you've changed your sig to "challenging" today. Stick to your guns man....Don't be changing shit everyday.

Agents make money by having players move regularly or sign bigger deals at current clubs. They're not in business for fun.

According to Wiki, that's from a Telegraph article called "What Stevens said about each club", but the link on Wiki is dead now. Still, looks like we have a chief suspect. I knew the Boumsong deal would again raise it's ugly head.

I have no doubt Ashley has weighed up all the revenue streams and the full potential of the club within the PL environment. blueyes.gif Let the dream begin.

Never a good idea as it kind of has a knock on effect on negotiations for players.

£2 fucking million!! Rubbish.
