Nobody

Another brilliant thread.

Why is he still up answering friend requests?

I'm strangely indifferent about this signing, despite rating him very highly when he was at Blackburn. It's probably because Barton is playing so brilliantly out on the wing, and I can see this transfer moving him in and pushing Nolan behind Carroll, which I really don't want. However, if we sign him to play on the left wing, I'd be very happy with that, as if he can rediscover his form, he'd be a massive improvement over Jonas.

Probably be very close to Europa League spot. Where we play him for me is all about whether we get a striker in or not. Get a striker and he plays LW, if we don't we play him off Carroll.

I really don't like how he keeps responding to particular players, or mentioning their names. Much preferred Hughtons way of keeping things quiet.

Fucking hope not. Only seen him in the world cup mind, but he looked a fantastic prospect, good signing for that lot.

And Williamson and Taylor. But, like madras said, we certainly shouldn't look straight to the board if it is a shorter contract, it's very likely that HBA and/or his advisers would not want such a long deal. And 4.5 years is still quite a long deal like.

Splendid "news" (come on, we've known about this for some time now). Really can't wait until it's all finalised though, and I still can't believe we've signed this lad.

Wigan, Wolves, Blackburn/West Ham.

If he actually any good in the air or does he have a case of the Nikola Zigic's? Going off the four minute youtube footage I've seen of him, he may be decent but he may be crap. Basically, I know nowt about him. He looks quick and strong though, with decent technique with the ball at his feet. He's only 20 years old as well.

Would be hilarious to have that Traore kid and Carroll up front, teams are struggling to cope with Carroll, how the hell are they going to cope with two Carrolls?

Funny as fuck when he lost his balance after that run, it looked so pathetic

Did very well today again MOTM for me.

Quite a few said before the game that it was a weird one to be televised, as it had every chance of being an awful game, seems like they were right. Thought we were dire, but Wigan was just so much worse, that we didn't have to do anything. A great win non the less, we desperately needed those three points and to climb above a few teams to give us some breathing space.

Wigan are fucking atrocious! I don't even think we're playing well, but we are still so far on top we really should have this sewn up already.

Chelsea -1.5 and Barcelona -2.5

That's brilliant KSH :lol:

What a load of insane rubbish. Putting it mildly. I didn't even read it because I knew it would be Can take a guess, James long post = inane ramblings, looking far too much into things and making up a load of nonsense to try and make it look deep and intellectual. Did you really not read it? Because you are 100% spot on

Fucking hell I blame Sewelly for his video.

Just watched it, can't really see much from the video, but looking at the pictures, fucking hell. Schmeichel is pretty fucking upset by it all as well (what a save from the header though, Krul esque).

Five and a half year deal

Absolutely not. There's one spot on our midfield that is (or should be) up for grabs, and that is LW, and I can't see Gosling taking it. He is still only 20 years old though, and we haven't signed him for this season. which two players are certs for centre mid ? Nolan and Tiote. nolan a cert . i'd like to think not. His goals from midfield and leadership qualities makes him undroppable (at the moment) for me. His general play is also very underrated IMO, he does a lot more than he's given credit for.
