Hope the squad aren't reading those comments from Pards = we lack "pace, athleticism and quality!". He's right like.

Never seen either of them play. Not sure why I'm posting this TBH.

Their coach saying Cabaye is the "only departure": http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13595524.stm Not sure I buy it, but anyway.

Oh dear. Literally unbelievable. All I'm guessing is that it isn't really true and Berba is on the way out.

Like modric? Fair point but I would suggest that Croats are quite a lot more gritty than the french

There will be at least two in half our games I reckon unless Barton really does leave, and people are very mistaken to think that it could or should be any different. Nolan will be starting every game when fit as our club captain. If we're going to be playing some tippy-tappy, movement in the midfield, continental style then Nolan will be a fish out of water. More a whale TBH.

I won't be happy with any policy that means Shola is leaving!

Aye, same. Would love to see him back, let's go for Bellamy as well!

I hope you're right. Either way, I won't be resigned to it until it's a done deal he's gone.

The internet was made for this shit.

Might be lost in translation a bit, it might just mean that the deal hasn't actually been formally done.

I feel the same about him. The concept of TV channels making programs with Piers Morgan presenting them just doesn't make sense to me. That said, it is entertaining when he has twitter rows with people like Owen and Barton.

Shaft is better than both TBH.

The physical nature of the premier league is more about the pace of the game then it requiring any specific build. As long as you're sharp and quick there's no reason you can't do well.

What's he like energy and athleticism-wise?

Very early for those kind of details. Anyway, I think we can be confident Big Mike's not going to be breaking the bank. That was deliberate BTW!

Me too! Seriously, I love the French posters, they've brought a whole new dimension to this place.

Signing players is exciting, it's fairly simple. Especially if they aren't Carlton Cole.

Man, we need to nurture the Anglo-French relations now, not go rubbing it in.

True, but I didn't expect us to get a player tied up so early either, so we might have a fighting chance. Not saying we'll sign either of them, but I wouldn't rule it out yet.

So do you think he isn't a good signing for us?

If he's still here. Now's not the time Dave!

He'll probably sign tomorrow now.

Totally, also shows that it's actually possible to get deals done at the beginning of the window. Tentative positive signs for the summer.
