fucking disgraceful piece of business. Haven't been this pissed off about a player being sold since Bellamy/Robert we needed another CB to start with, now we need 2 more to go into the season looking comfortable in that position

you were adamant he was a fat bastard the other day

if we have a CB as good or better than Faye by the end of the window i'll agree with you Coloccini? sadly he cant play in central defence by himself

if we have a CB as good or better tha Faye by the end of the window i'll agree with you

If it matters to you that much, then I hope you a great time. It does and I will, not embarassed to admit I love Local Hero. absolutely and anyone who started going to games during the early 90's will feel the same

yes he was, in the context of our central defence

we'll see. But if Taylor remains an automatic started we've shot ourselves in the foot with this one

I agree Butt is terrible but Guthrie has impressed, we also have Barton and Geremi. I also believe we will sign one midfielder before the window is out. we're going to have to

pretty disgraceful, if our midfield this season includes Nicky fucking Butt and a young unestablished kid with very little premiership experience

I meant Faye and Emre, but nice try lads

Taylor's once again going to be exposed for the shite defender he is this season and this time next year the 'still young, playing with crap' excuses will still be used

so, 4 players in before opening kick-off and our best defender and most creative midfielder out

You're right about Cacapa being the oldest , I don't agree that Faye is our best when we've got Coloccini who looks like being his replacement. Point is, we don't need to replace players like Faye, we need to add to them. If you're happy to go into the season with two central defenders with zero Premier League experience and two players with a track record of serious ricks, I'll have whatever you're drinking. bang on

Enrique gonna be told to f*** off once Warnock comes in? the daft thing is, we now NEED to go out and buy another CB as an absolute necessity. This after having it rammed down our throats how hard it is to attract good players. Sickening to be honest

Every goal conceded with Taylor and Cacapa in the team was down to them, I missed that last season. they're s**** together and anyone content with them being our defensive partnership needs their head read. Faye is twice the player Taylor is and absolutely integral to the team

are you mad? if this goes through and we lose Coloccini through injury we'll have Taylor and Cacapa in the middle. Do you have any idea how many goals they conceded? selling our second best CB man, which club on the planet does that?

will lose a lot of respect for Keegan if there is something in this, honestly man wtf

what the fuck is he doing?

what is it with the Cacapa hating? I thought he had a good pre-season tbh, a lot better than Taylor

well impressed if we pull this one off, hell of a player, just what we need in the midfield

Must be the only person in the world that vertical stripes have a fattening effect on. probably the fact that his footballing bretheren are generally built like tooth-picks. At 14 1/2 stone i'd probably look obese out there So why isn't he? He's got a responsibility to keep himself in good shape. Why is it so hard for him to slim down and stay fit? He can't help picking up injuries but he could at least lose a bit of weight when he is fit. some people have more muscle mass than others and trying to loose this is counter-productive, simple as that Don't buy that, sorry. He's a professional athlete who is paid to keep himself in shape. He's responsible for his diet and fitness but he looks awful when he's apparently 'match-fit'. It's just not an acceptable situation for him to be in the shape he is in. He's carrying weight he shouldn't be. He's out of shape and looks grossly unfit - even when he's apparently fit. Full stop. coming from someone who spends 2 hours a day on physical fitness, if someone's genetically pre-disposed to being muscle-bound there's very little they can do about it. And yes, for someone who is paid to run around every day it causes problems if certain muscles and tendons cannot keep up. So it's genetic then? He's got a very 'muscular' stomach from what I've seen. it's possible, a big stomach doesn't always mean a fat stomach tbh

always liked Tiago tbh, love him here

Convincing yourself of things like that will only leave you disappointed if they don't happen. I dont particularly want a big name. I just want a solid defender and 2 capable attacking players. If we dont get these, then yes I will be disappointed
