Not really, the point would be that we didn't have a left back.

I don't think we'd want to be in for Bridge either, but I guess it might come to the point where we have to go for pretty much any LB that's available. FWIW I don't think he's a bad player, just he would be expensive and is too old.

The early performances of Vuckic, Abeid and Gosling have certainly made me feel better. Get a striker in, an Enrique replacement and maybe a CB and I'll be happy. Even without the CB we'd probably be fine. Always can do better, but it would be progress IMO.

Class, only drawback was the £4.50 fees but other than that I'm golden.

Fucking glad I didn't log on for that original post, may have had a heart attack. Won't shed a tear over the lad's banning TBH

Downloading that shit, perfect iPod material.

We probably aren't doing that, we'll just be running our deals simultaneously I imagine.

Bearing in mind he was only just given a new contract, it seems very weird that we've suddenly decided he's beyond help. We've also stuck by Carroll and Barton even though they have done much worse things. I'm still not convinced his NUFC career is over, and if we do ship him out I think it's a mistake.

And long may it stay a rumour that never comes to fruition. Amen. Amen as well, I was just saying.

Luke's got all the right connections like.

Reo-coker joins Bolton, didn't see that.

The Game podcast people couldn't stop raving about Aguero at the end of last season. Really looking forward to seeing him, shame it has to be for Man City.

That looks pretty class to be fair. Cheers.. I think if Pards wants us to keep the ball & control midfield then its what we should look at, also without HBA for the start of the season then its gota be worth a try to test it out. Guess it slightly depends on the ability of Barton/Cabaye to get forward, but Ba will presumably be supported more by Marv and Jonas anyway. Either way, looking forward to seeing them all together for the first time.

I don't think changing Best for Long would be "retarded" at all. I'm not saying Long is a much better player than Best now, but he certainly has the potential to be. Long is also a better compliment to Ba/Shola/Ranger in that he's highly mobile, pacey and runs the channels hard. Also a good target for through balls from Barton/Cabaye. I like Best for what he did when given his chance last season, and it would be a tough decision to move him on, but Long certainly has the potential to be a very good signing for us. Also, if we are going to play one up front in some games you could argue that Best is only third choice behind Shola and BaBa.

Basically nothing is happening at this point, it's just a rumour.

Leeds still have a fair number of tickets in the home end. Was tempted to go but I can't get a train for less than £70.

That looks pretty class to be fair.

They can be very, very persuasive. http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo18ptSTKg1qbrkr9o1_500.png Llambias "forcing" Colocinni into handing in a transfer request.

Best central midfield since?

Yeah, it was a steal for sure. Thought it was strange that he was so keen to leave Everton mind. Anyway, fingers crossed for him to play a good part this season.

Agree, it was an unsubstantiated rumour and it's time to forget about it.

Ah right, just wondered what the Dresden outburst was about.

Has something new happened?

I don't know why loyalty bonuses aren't paid on the renewal of a contract... they shouldn't be related to leaving the club at all.

Always been against video technology really... just think football should be a human game and incorrect decisions are part and parcel of it. I would rather we spent more time educating players and managers to respect refereeing decisions. (I don't expect anyone to agree with this BTW!)
