fuckin hell, when was that done? seems like a right prick. Michael Owen's Soccer Skills it was called, made in 1999. I remember watching it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212674/ Wow ... so he actually belittles young kids on his own soccer video. Even more of a jerk than I thought then!

Owen is a jerk ...

According to that post from Dave, it looks like the accepting of Shearer's demands is actually down to the banks and not Mike Ashley.

I think it's more likely he will just write it off at this point tbh. Imagine if he hadn't held out for that ridiculous amount of £400 million he would have been out last Christmas and would have lost a lot less money. I don't think he risks it again this time around. It seems he has thrown is hands up and is making the club available at a price that will definitely attract buyers. I just hope that this is indeed the case.

Reckons there's something in tomorrows NOTW saying Shearer is ready to walk over the uncertainty. 'Well-informed sources telling his side of the story'. Jesus ...

Pretty much ... Every damned summer same old B.S. Absolute torture.

This is just ridiculous ...

Would you prefer to see Messi at Newcastle or Barcelona? Do people get banned if they answer this the wrong way? Eh? I don't see anything wrong in people having a fondness for another team, but when it comes to saying you'd rather a player you rate stayed with your 'second' team than moving to the one supposed to be your 'first' I think something's not right. I was just joking. Bans are so exciting though, so I wouldn't be adverse to seeing Messi and Blufescu scrapped. In fact why not? Make my day Dave. I'm bored. Asking for bans is a bannable offence you know,

Maybe it's all just an elaborate smokescreen to keep other championship clubs off guard while we tie up deals for Surman and Beckford.

Kris Boyd's idol is none other than Shearer too ... If we go for him I think he would be very interested and what motivation to play for your hero who is also a striker. Done deal tbh.

Resources? Alrighty ... spill the beans!

Jones could be top quality for them in a few years. Scored 12 goals this season despite only returning in November and allegedly brought back too soon and hasn't been 100% fit this season. Started to find his true form near the tail end of the season according to a Mackem mate of mine. I haven't seen that much of him, but when I have he looks like Shola Ameobi with long hair to me. Crazy comment.

Well that was just goofy ... Looks like a cockup is on the cards after that little stunt. Let me make sure I understand this. Llambas says he will talk to SSN in an hour but then David Craig is told it won't be happening after all? Lord have mercy ...

Talks with Shearer broken down but Keegan coming back again ... Odds?

Taarabt is talented but where would he be played? Doesn't look like he would be able to get up and down wnough on the wing, and as a second striker would he score enough goals? Haven't really seen enough of him to know what his shooting/finishing is like. Very interesting talent though. Did he go out on loan somewhere the second half of last season? How did he do?

Is Arturo Lupoli owned by Fiorentina? If so we could request him if they are really interested in Martins. Lupoli seemed to score regularly in the championship for both Norwich and Sheffield United (?).

I was thinking this the other day. Was really good for Watford when he played week in and week out for them but hasn't really got a chance at Bolton and has kind of fluffed it on the rare occassions he was put in, but I reckon it's more down to a lack of confidence. Could be the big dirty championship defender we need alongside Bassong. Decent attacking threat too. He's really quite a solid defender if he's got someone with a brain (i.e not Jay DeMerit) beside him. You could do worse, Roger Johnson/Matt Mills would be both be silly priced. I'm glad that we signed Mike Williamson when we did, he is awesome, Wycombe fans reckon he was better when he left than Johnson when he left them. Exactly. I definitely remember him doing well for you and scoring a good number of goals from set pieces. He made a mistake for Bolton though so he must be crap and worse than Titus Bramble, who by the way had a pretty decent season at Wigan. Sigh ...

Lita is a poor mans Martins. Basically a championship version so why not?

Very good idea. Especially with their new miliionaire owner coming in he could certainly be pushed out of the picture.

Ridulous fee (even if they werent in admin) + no manager + a team of players to shift first = non story Fee sounds about right considering their situation. Was rated at a much higher price this time two years ago, has stagnated somewhat since then, but away from So'ton will do very well. Definitely better than League 1. Yup. I actually think £1 million is a really good price for him. Still only 22 years old also. Been surprised at the lack of interest/links to Southampton's youngsters so far.

Surman would be a great start. Was very impressed with him in the prior season in particular. Bit of a Gareth Barry type but not as strong physically yet. His left foot is sweet and though he can play out wide he is more influential through the middle as he isn't the quickest. We really need to act quickly to nick some of those Southampton youngsters who are seriously talented. Don't let the dissaray of this last season fool you, in more experienced sides some of those youngsters would be much improved.
