Got the Ba deal right.

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas Just compiled a stats box to go with the Ba interview in Sunday Sun. A goal every other game in his career is a hell of a ratio.

Fit and ready to play.

Leeds interested in Bowyer, Woodgate and Smith.

But you always need a balance of both. One without the other wont do. It does with Barcelona and Arsenal. Are you confusing Cabaye with Iniesta and Ba with Messi? Eh? Straighforward I thought. You seem to be suggesting because it works for the best team in the World it will work here with free transfers. No you said you need grit, i gave you two examples of teams who don't have grit yet are brilliant sides.

But you always need a balance of both. One without the other wont do. It does with Barcelona and Arsenal. We do have a decent amount of "grit", work rate at least. I think it is more work rate, press from the front.

Does Zoggy not play from the right hand side now?

On Zoggy, does he not play from the right hand side now?

Hope we sign Matudi as well, gives us a great defensive base in midfield while the rest run riot.

Where coming for you!!

Btw wasn't there a poster on here who said we would be signing him? Sure he was talking in the Carroll thread in january.

Certainly a move away from last season. A very positive move as well.

I would also rather take the risk of signing these type players, than spend millions on rubbish from this league like Gibson and N'gog. That is not a go at Sunderland but they are a really good example.

Still closing in on Erding and Neil Taylor according to the Journal.

No, he turned down Liverpool and came here.

Roger Johnson's agent was on Talksport linking him to us the other day, wonder if we want him to replace Colo.

But 5 years is a risk for a player who has missed 3 out of the alst 5 seasons with injury. It's less of a risk if it's a 2 or 3 year deal. It is more than likely to be appearence based though.

Would have thought we would offer him a new deal, before we diceide to sell. Would probably be similar to the deal Nolan and Barton where offered. Not sure if Sevilla pay big wages like?

Been a few hours since we had a transfer, pretty boring.

Im sure we are aware of his injury record, and any deal would be based around that.

Would be absolutely gutted to see him go.

Is the Maraveux deal what Douglas was on about?

Has anyone here seen him play, what position does he play?
