What won't?

It is paltry. It's a f***ing laughable amount. It's just not though, "in the current climate". Bent went for 18M rising to 24M, and Suarez for 23M. You can discount anything Chelsea and Man City pay as it's come from a limitless piggy bank. If he'd said that it was a paltry amount compared to your valuation then fair enough, but if Suarez goes for 23M then it's a reasonable amount to offer for Carroll. It's a ridiculous amount to offer.

With the glasses on?

They were still crud, though, in all fairness.

It is paltry. It's a fucking laughable amount.

Ashley's no idiot. He knows we'll be offered £35m in a year or two.

Plucked out of thin air, in other words.

400-500 million?

For getting elbowed in the face by Fellaini? Suppose that makes Mike Williamson a shitebag, too.

Great counter.

Great news if true.

Yep. You'd be absolutely fuming if that was your daughter, sister or partner, like. Fucking prick.

Yeah, Jonas gives the team far more balance than Nolan.

Judging by our last few performances under Hughton, it was pretty obvious to me that the man was terrified to lose.

Fulham away game in 07, Oba scored in injury time. Lost 2-1.

Torres is gettable, apparently.

Good point. We should pick a team of eleven strikers, then we'd score lots of goals. As opposed to?

Nolan has proved himself to be the best finisher at the club and works well with Tiote, our best CM. No need to change it. Same with people wanting Barton away from the RW when it obviously works very well. Stop trying to be clever, man.

Was it him? What an arsehole.

Like anyone with an ounce of sense would drop a player already on 10 goals and retain Jonas '1 goal in 60 PL games' Gutierrez.

Think we'll win 2-1.

Is Tino not doing some scouting for us?

The worst being no one believed he was on 90k. I remember receiving dogs abuse for saying he was. I don't see why. He was signed when we were the height of paying silly sums for s**** players, I'd have thought it was common knowledge. He's comparable with Owen for me in terms of contempt shown to the club towards the end. People forget he feigned injury or illness under Allardyce, Kinnear and Shearer when he didn't fancy it. Christ, under JFK he was rarely at the training ground even when he declared himself fit. I'm not surprised to see his career has went down the pan. Libelous.

He is essentially a striker. Just one that needs play behind two other strikers, because he's about as difficult to mark as a three piece suite.

eh? so you would have him further back int he midfield where he offers nowt and cant keep up? Just about all of his goals this season and last have come with him behind two players.
