Toivonen and Jermaine Lens are supposed to be really talented too. Agree, it could get ugly.

Nice one, cheers.

Anyone have the PSV lineup?

i didn't notice that untill you pointed it out

Today should give a good idea of what Hughton thinks our strongest first eleven is, and who is therefore likely to start the first game. Should be interesting.

He turned 28 earlier this year. Hardly a relic!

Sounds good! Can I just commend you for all of the info you've been posting from the rumours abroad during the summer. I for one have certainly appreciated it.

He did make some key signings at Blackburn, and some of these players did occassionally produce decent stuff, however, the over riding style of football was definitely bullying and bashing. We'll see what happens at Fulham. They currently do not have the players who are going to put in the kind of 'committment' he will be after. Let's see what he pulls off, and which players he gets in.

Mark Hughes is uninspiring. Just another get stuck in and bully them nitwit manager. That Fulham team isn't built like that at all either. Watch him try to bring in a few brutes with any money he has. Sven would have been far better placed to continue building on the type of football Hodgson had implemented. Hughes will take them back to the dark ages. I know you're pretty thick, but that's mental. Ever see Blackburn under Hughes?Not always the prettiest but the best football they've played for a long, long time by the time he left and he got them top six with f*** all money. Not seen many managers have a better transfer record under a similar budget than he did there, really brought in the brutes like Bentley, Warnock, McCarthy, Bellamy, Dunn, Santa Cruz etc. Who are you calling thick? This thread isn't going anywhere and I will be proved right. You watch and see what the Fulham fans think of his 'progressive' football. Hughes is going to bomb at Fulham. He is nowhere near the quality of manager that Sven is. It's embarrassing to even make the comparison.

Thought he had a fantastic world cup. I think he would be a great signing and be the one player who could give us real energy in the middle of the park. I worry about his temprement but i think he would be in an environment that would help him. If im honest, i dont really see a lot of difference between him and Parker, probably Parker likes a tackle a bit more but there both high energy with decent quality. If i was old saggy face i would give him a shot and save my money! Tottenham don't own him anymore!

Even if he had changed I wouldn't want him here. He's a kind of "bad boy" who wouldn't fit in the team imo. I think Hughton is clever enough to see that as well (if we were ever interested in him) Aren't you one of those that said you'd have Bellamy back though?!

How anyone can go for Taylor over Colo is beyond me. Taylor, like Simpson, is from the school of backing of defenders who are running at him, and just allows them to run all the way into the box! One of my biggest annoyances, and for that reason alone Colo everytime.

But what do you base this on though? His knowledge and experience of worldwide football is far better and I'm sure he'd be able to get better players than Hughes on any budget. To me the difference in class between Sven and Hughes is massive. Had Man City kept Sven once the Arab owners took over, rather than getting Hughes in, I believe they would have achieved that top four finish by now.

For goodness sake Fulham ... Mark Hughes over Sven really??? Bloody awful decision. Well at least they are now likely to be realistic relegation candidates now.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZ NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Gay ...

Fast with inconsistent end product. Like a lot of African players really. So what are English players then? Slow and shit?

Raul to Schalke. Confirmed.

You are such a fascinating person Every single one of your posts are just so out there.

Bruce hates Kenwyne Jones for some odd reason. Hence the Heskey move.

Steady on dude!

Will play as the second striker, just off Carroll.

Oh goodness not another one ... people who claim they refuse to get their hope up are the ones who have done exactly that! If he doesn't end up here you'll be the first ones whinging and moaning about it because you did get your hopes up. Just take a deep breath and don't worry about it so much. He's only one player of many we will be looking at if this story is true. It's not the end of the world if we don't sign him, and signing him doesn't guarantee he will single handedly transform the club either. Just take the reports as they come and let it play out.

This Twitter again? Yeah, guy from the Journal/Chronicle. Now he's saying he's pretty sure there is firm NUFC interest in Ben Arfa. nope still dont believe it refuse to get my hopes up What a big pansy Don't want to get your delicate little feelings hurt pookie wookie ... aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww how sweet. MAN THE FREAK' UP SON! not going to believe it until i see him in a toon shirt (which wont happen) Believe what? No one has said he's signing!
