Don't underestimate Russia, Russia are a much different outfit with Arshavin in it.

That was worth the wait.

You'd have to ask Kevin. Rumours doing the rounds that he is so would we? Rumours doing the rounds on a lot of players, however I do think he's the sort of player he would be interested in.

Fuck me Every article is the same... NEWS IS REACHING US THAT PASCAL CHIMBONDA IS ON THE VERGE OF JOINING THE CLUB. WE THINK PASCAL IS A GOOD LAD AND WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION FOR THE SQUAD, WELL DONE KK AND THE LADS, PASCAL CAN PLAY AT RIGHT BACK OR EVEN CENTER BACK. WE ARE EXPECTING THE DEAL TO GO THROUGH NEXT WEEK, LETS HOPE THIS IS THE START OF MANY MORE SIGNINGS

Those are the exact same quotes made about a week ago. Rehashtastic. Did it say that they're waiting for us to sign him?

Not according to the BBC. I think it's actually that if the teams are playing each other and they're on the same points then it goes to penalties, if they were on the same points and everything and weren't playing each other then it goes on the coefficient.

If Turkey and Czech draw tomorrow, it doesn't goto a penalty shooutout, Czech's go through because they are higher in the Coefficients.

The quotes from Arshavin are old quotes and go back to when we were linked with him under Allardyce. His stock has risen a lot since then, and he'll end up somewhere better than here I'm afraid. Yes, there are other reports saying we've had an offer accepted.

f####n hell lads you heard this Fingers crossed

What does "leading the chase" mean in this context. There is no way on God's green earth he would consider coming here.. You have to laugh.. It means we're closest to agreeing to a deal, it will be bullshit anyway.

The first comment on that link

"Mercato-blog" Enough said

We really are clutching at straws now aren't we

And it begins...

No, it just makes him feel special.

Gomez and Gomis very disappointing, Arda Turan and Derdiyok looked impressive and Sebastian Larsson is yet to play.

He's s***. your talking crap man I'm sure you weren't saying that at the end of the Premiership season, you've seen him play well in a game and a half and decided he's some kind of superstar.

He's shit.

Manchester wasn't it?

Are you that naive to believe any article written by an article with no quotes. Do papers typically make up stories about players seeking new contracts? Not sure I've seen that before. Anyhow if this is not true then fair enough, but if it is true then the guy needs a number of very sharp slaps to the face, as he is totally undeserving of any more money and in fact he is probably undeserving of the money he is earning right now. Crazy talk. Papers make stories up about anything they can.
