That's what i was arguing. Even if he wanted to be away, we should have been compensated properly for losing a first team defender with Premiership experience. £3-4m would have been more like it. I don't get how transfers work these days. If we were willing to sell him why don't the club announce that he is on the transfer list? At least then there may have been some competition for his signature pushing the value up. how do you know he wasnt touted round by his agent to all clubs and no one else wanted him? I don't but a lot of transfers seem to happen with everyone knowing a player is available e.g. Bentley. We only seem to find out ours are leaving at the last minute when it's 99% done e.g. Emre, Faye, etc. tbh the club like doing things without announcing it to the press, thats for all to see. So im sure he was offered to clubs behind closed doors if you like.

that what i am concerned... i felt we could do more than that window hasnt closed.

optimistic to be honest. rid of lots of dead wood. Brought a few in, more to come. Played some good football at the end of last season which some people seem to have forgotton about. I think we'll be pretty strong at home this year too.Top 8 would be a cracking achievement.

You don't have to buy them, just go up to Scotland and get the ones they bought when we played Argentina in the WC. surely it would be easier just to buy one?!

That idiot is quite a successful businessman to be fair. He's making a rats arse of this business. examples please?

maybe its just a really big yawn???

yes he was, in the context of our central defence i wouldnt go as far to say an absolute rock. He was our best centre half, but not a rock.

delighted, great tune, all part of the pre match build up.

me mates just put ars, man u , chel to win and reading to win - only got 3-1. didnt put liv on becasue he's a Mackem.

] exactly. whats the stress?

Thank goodness this is over.

na, club shop selling his shirt though.

he's not the best in the World, positionally he's not great. But, for what we paid, and for the sheer lack of number, id be very disapointed to see him go.

He'll get off with paying them a tenner a week or something like that.

expensive bag of coke.

how reliable is rivals?

what a cracking read that was, nice reminissing (sp) too...

whats the chances of two blokes being called A. Trialist?! Freaky....

so paperwork holding up the colo deal?

'No, it's complete guesswork mate' well, question was more along the lines of - youve got us down as signing collochini, but the club have announced it. Are yee blagging or what?

ive asked sky sports if there website is 100% accurate. Ill let you know what they say.

how new is this? ( i cant see - work blocks it)!!!
