It's funny that very few of the players linked with English clubs (and us in particular) seem to have actually moved, or indeed gone elsewhere. Inler, Gomis, Arda, Derdiyok, Arshavin etc are all just as available now as they were a month or two ago. maybe they're all as sewn up as Coloccini was a week ago and the club are just waiting to confirm all 5

me neither, was at the game but too pissed to remember it

what i wouldn't give for us to bring in 4 quality players before Sep and and shut the c***s up. The clubs who suddenly think they're a league above us, Everton, Man f***ing City, Spurs, Blackburn, even Pompey and their line of spitting arseholes

Harps BEAR Coloccini Cacapa Enrique Jonas Geremi Guthrie N'zogbia Martins Duff

that's like the lead in to a bernard manning joke! :lol: do me a favour and try to continue it

you'd hope so, because i have no confidence whatsoever in Taylor or Edgar

might stick £100 on Chelsea for the league, very confident it's their season tbh

have Juve confirmed this then?

Bad memories. He actually had a decent game in that one. It was also the first time Boumsong totally crumbled. Didn't he scored a goal early on which was ruled offside even though he was miles onside? As I remember it he was miles off. He was miles onside in fact. nah, he had a good game but was offside, clearly

You like to be a bit dramatic don't you. How the hell do we need two more CBs? Colo, Taylor, Cacapa, Bassong, Edgar? well 2 have never played in the premiership, one is 20 and clearly way out of his depth in the premiership, one is getting old and the other is imo a poor defender at this level Coloccini is fantastic, but there is nobody up to the job of partnering him or replacing him if injured You spent the majority of last season telling everyone how good Cacapa was, now you're saying he's not up to the job of filling in?! Faye's gone and he needs replacing but people on here go way over the top. I have always maintained that I like Cacapa, but he isn't the right player to partner Coloccini. Faye was a good partner for him

you were adamant he was a fat b****** the other day Correct. And I'm delighted to say that I was totally, completely and utterly wrong. I assumed he'd return looking as fat as he ended last season but I was wrong. He's lost an awful lot of weight and i hope he plays better and is sharper for it. That ok for you? I was only ribbing to be honest mate

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
