Ronaldo

and Enrique

without selling Bassong i honestly think we could get past the £25m point It's a good time to be selling the likes of Colo back to spain because of the current pound-euro conversion. We could probably get £8m back

Didn't Chelsea survive relegation by the skin of their bollocks in 93-94?

hope we put at least £10m on the head of Martins

Should we go For Sibierski now?

It's very easy to have a second team when you use that critieria though. What sickens me is people actually being proud of it Sickens you? Have a word man. Second teams are essentially teams you don't really love and support, but just love to watch. Believe it or not, teams that play beautiful football are often successful. Messi clearly doesn't just love to watch Barca though. There's an awful lot of people in this country with Man U as their second team, and yes it sickens me, it's absolutely fucking pathetic

6 games into the season is what he said. Wise left with 8 games remaining

In any case, I'd say less than £30k for our best player is an insult, regardless of league status. And I sincerely hope he's offered it.

Respectfully disagree. I'd say Gerrard is currently the only genuine class act in the England side. And Lampard surely?

Who is disputing that? We're on about wages here. I'm better at my job than loads of my seniors at work but they get more money than me, it's just the way of the world. I assume we're talking about some sort of corporate structure with your job though? Bassong and Taylor are a similar age and have exactly the same job description, with one of them following it significantly better Taylor isn't negotiating now though is he? They're not going to give Bassong what they can't afford, regardless of what Taylor is on. Likewise they can't tell Taylor he's not as good as they thought and tear his contract up. That, I completely accept. It's the experience argument that I disagree with

So why has the Premier League been inferior excluding the top4 in recent years then? How do you arrive at that conclusion?

I've thought that for a long time. Sir Alex has changed him as a player and the boy and England aren't reaping the benefits. He seems very reluctant to just put his foot through the ball like he used to tbh

Saw something the other week saying The Championship is the league with the 4th biggest average attendances in Europe behind the Bundesliga, La Liga and obviously The Premiership. exactly my point tbh, mickey mouse league still living off the golden 90's

I don't want to join the hounding, but it isn't "his team has won the CL" in the same sense it would be if yours or mine did. It is like when I hear Man United fans with cockney accents about what it means to them. By comparison, it means nothing if you just choose to latch on to some successful club. Why do these people never seem to become Mansfield Town or Wigan or Bournemouth supporters at the age of 8? Not talking about Messi here, but I absolutely hate gloryhunters. They are the Quisling maggots of the football world. I've liked Barcelona just as long as I've liked Newcastle, so why don't you f*** off to an Aston Villa forum already.. Did you start supporting Newcastle in early 1996? bang

Where's this from fella? Lad on Skunkers who lives in the same building as him. Been chatting to his missus while Seb's away with Cameroon. She say if he would sign? Doesn't say. It looks like offering him a new contract could be one of the things Shearer was talking over with Ashley and Llambias as he's apparently been told he wont be sold for any less than £15 million too. Anything over 10million is a "snap their hands of price" really. clearly isn't to be honest. We shouldn't be snapping anyone's hands off unless we're sure the player in question is not the answer. Bassong on the other hand is our best player. That doesn't really say much, since the rest of the squad has been down right awful. I'm still to be convinced about Bassong, he's got a lot of learning to do. 10 million for a player at his stage in his development is more than a fair price. Don't judge all 10 million players on Colocinni. So you'd honestly sell Bassong for £10m if Arsenal or whoever came knocking next week?

Taylor is also not half the player Bassong is, despite having 4 more seasons in the premiership than him.

Not that Barca didn't deserve to win, but i'd be ashamed to support any club captained by Carlos Puyol, an absolute coward and cheat of a human being

For me, yes Good football means nothing to me on a personal level, it's just nice to watch

Could you tell me the average Serie A attendance outside of The Milans, Juevntus, Roma, and Lazio?

Messi should thank you for taking all the attention from him.. I knew you were a bit of an Inter Nut but thats pathetic, Serie A is just awfull. This, absolutely. With all due respect boys i'd hoped that relegation would rid us of the marginal types

3 teams out of 4, what more do you want, Barca shouldn't have even been in the final. What's happening to this forum? Honestly

To be fair, I wouldn't want to sit next to Doug Ellis either

Na, it will be from Tony Jimenez. Jiminez left 9 games into the season
