Jose mourinho in special1tv is a puppet

I think we may have difficulties getting south American players due to work permit issue ?

Jose mourinho says in special1tv, it's like paying 20 quids for pot noodle 5 minutes before the canteen closes Lol

How can you know nasri is better than ginola without knowing ginola ?

Which winger most assembles ginola currently ? Nani ? Nasri ? Or ?

For NZB n HBA, estimate their potential best

If we are not relegated this year, and we buy some players this summer, the management will be proven right n have the last laugh. If we get relegated, then the detractors here are proven right End stating the obvious. I think the management made the right decision. It is not easy to buy strikers in January. Liverpool paid well for Suarez n carroll. Chelsea was held ransom. Spurs bought no one despite having all the money n perhaps more urgency / incentive than us. Aston villa paid full fee fir bent. Imagine if our board paid that money for bent instead, how much criticism will it get ? Just because Bolton get sturridge, doesn't mean we can get him as well. Strikers are always in great demand, how many sturridges are there ? The board gamble that we could survive without Carroll. And I agree. Carrioll is a vig loss yes but offensively we have also strengtened with HBA n Ireland. So it is a calculated gamble. 5 months will buy us more time, more options n better prices. Europe is out of touch so we really just needful survive. N I think we can survive.

That cheap ?,?

Hmm, I forget Fernando llorente Luiz fabiano What a list

Uncharacterisic of spurs to so completely miss out on players they want. Carroll Aguerro Rossi Suarez Forlan And it is nit that spurs are underbidding the players

Is it important to get a replacement ? Realistically, we are safe, with or without Carroll. We don't have Europe to chase, n there are no reasons how could we get better prices for Carroll during the summer. So if anyone thinks that we could afford to sell in summer, there's no reason why we shouldn't sell now, 35M is a lot of money. It is those who take an extreme long term view, people like cp40, who should be very crossed. But although I appreciate their pov, I think they are thinking too far ahead, in this notoriously volatile industry

What a steal the central defender Curtis Davies arrived from Aston Villa in a £1.75m deal. http://m.guardian.co.uk/ms/p/gnm/op/sqeYdmEGdccb5iLRAfqL-dQ/view.m?id=15&gid=football/2011/jan/31/birmingham-obafemi-martins-rubin-kazan&cat=football

That perspective is a bit too different Icarus

Well I guess we have different perspectives

Winners Liverpool - insignificant net spend for 2 younger, and on paper complimentary strikers Blackpool - survival ensured Chelsea - money is not an issue for them. They got 1 proven scorer Aston villa - Michael Bradley, jean makoun, Kyle walker, darren bent Newcastle - 35M is a lot of money. Rooney paved the way for everton to stabilise themselves financially in the long term. On top of this, HBA + Ireland for loan Birmingham - Bentley n martins on loan. Survival secured Jury still out West ham - some serious money for some big uncertainties. Did not change manager Sunderland - done well to sell bent, but failure to acquire replacement may harm Europe hunt. Muntari for loan is decent Loser Spurs - fail to address squad shortage Arsenal - see above Everton - see above. Victim of his own success perhaps, I expected him to get a surprise loanee Wolves - no signing. Survival jeopardized Wigan - no signing

8 millions cash for Steven fletcher of wolves 8 millions cash for nicolas bendtner of arsenal P

Inferior messi, superior robinho ?

Village - how 'talented' is kun exactly ? Leo messi - Supremely skilful, supremely intellident, supremely clinical Robinho - plenty fancy footworks, but not enough end products David villa - no fancy footwork but supremely intelligent and clinical Ronaldo - supremely intelligent, supremely direct Rooney - supremely talented, but flatter to deceive Etc ?

CP40 - you made a great point. Thanks

How much money will have your head turned ?

Redknappe is crazy. He has 4 good strikers in keane, pav, Defoe n crouch. He fails to get them to score, so he wants to spunk a lot of money on llorente. Would it not be wasteful of modric and vdv's talent if they ate asked to aim balls at llorente's head ? Theycould have bought suarez for that money

Why don't Liverpool bite the bullet and keep Torres? To have 2 young, skilful, proven goalscorers on a squad isn't easy

Has Arteta been a liability Neil ?

Is anyone still interested in Graham Dorran ?

Neil raises a very valid question, why are barcelona players incredibly fit n hardly injured ? Is it because they are well protected by the referee or playing culture? Players like messi twist n turn souch, accelerating n sprinting, yet he seems superman. Ronaldo os the same, but Ronaldo is still injured once in a while. N all barcelona players play regularly Milito was injured for a long time but I suppose it is an exception.
