In what way? 'Andy Carrol will not be sold'.

Why did he not say that in April then? Here's a crazy notion.... because he didn't know then?! Things can change in a few months you know. What exactly is the problem here... we've let a keeper go, and we've brought one in. What's the big deal? We'll end up without a young, promising keeper. We'll end up without a steady old head. We'll gain a fucking nobody on peanuts. The problem will be when he's called upon and he demonstrates why he's 25 and playing for Charltons Reserves.

Like I said in the other thread, how do you know the situation hasn't changed since April? He's in control of the situation - they're his players. If any other manager came out with such a clear, robust statement I'd be inclined to think it genuine. This c*** is just a walking soundbite. So it's not possible Foster has asked for first team football, or Harper has looked really poor in training for example? Harper, who has been managed by KK, SBR etc, all of a sudden looked poor? You manage Forster by bullshitting him into thinking he's due a game - f*** me, if anyone could Parnocchio could. All about managing expectations. Eh? What if he hadn't decided who was going to be his number one and when he chose Krul, Foster asked to go out on loan? It's speculation on both sides of the argument of course It may be speculation on both sides but their side has form for chopping the wage bill and getting rid of senior players/those with an opinion. Well then you tell Forster he'll get games and better experience throughout the season and should hold fire. ...but he won't if he's playing second fiddle. He's contracted for three more years. I'm sure with Billy Liar's smooth patter he could have told him what he wanted to hear. I'm out, bored of your posts and your agenda Bored of you and people like you constantly trying to defend a bent regime and shit manager.

With any luck it'll hit the boardroom first.

Agreed and have said the same thing. The next two weeks will dictate the season for me.

Never had the urge to kick a dog in the face before...............

I think he may end up being Parkers replacement at WHU. Wouldn't be surprised.

Well we didn't make any money on Jose. If he's good enough, we need to sign him. If he's a couple of million extra than we'd like to pay, then tough shit- that's what happens when you have no left backs and a fortnight left before the window closes. Obvious change of emphasis since the days of signing players like Enrique and, to be fair, if the feckless arseholes hadn't have sold our soul they would have convinced Jose into signing a new contract with the very aim of protecting their asset/enhancing it's value. See Tiote.

Non-starter at that price. Probably a non-starter at any price where there's a risk of not turning a profit on him.

That'd be wicked if I wanted the fucker around for tea at me ma's but I don't, I want the bastard to be Peter Schmeical Mk2.

All well and good until Krul gets injured and then we've got a fucking League One player in goal. And he's a ginger. Wonderful.

I should fucking hope not. If there's not a clause or an injury we'll not be signing any cunt. Fucking joke.

Yet more lies from Parnoccio. Quoted a mere 4 months ago saying he'll not be signing a senior keeper and he does. Billy Liar.

And why was it easy to complete?

Parnocchio at it again. Someone should make a sticky of all of his shite.

Is he more of a defensive or attacking left back?

Pardew had his side out there today, with his signings all playing with his star striker who apparently cost more than we think. If he's got other strengths then I'd suggest Pardew should find a way to use them. He got the formation wrong in the first half but you know you've had a shitter when you're taken off ahead of Shola. I think the fault was with Pardew rather than Ba. We were still playing long ball football for 45 mins. Absolutely Pardew got the formation wrong in the first half but Ba showed little endeavour when making himself look busy should be the least we get from him imho.

Are you saying he didn't have a shit half? If so, you're blind.

Good positive stuff, writing off a new signing within the space of 45 minutes. People wrote off Obertan before he even arrived at the club! Oddly enough people were comparing him to Shola too! Which is so unbelievable you can't even fathom it. There is no footballer on Earth like Shola Ameobi. He is a one of a kind. And thank God for that. Yeah - Sir Alex Ferguson.
