So do I. Any reason? Wouldn't be against it, just wondering.

Shay Given signs for Manchester City for £5.9m plus add-ons
AyeDubbleYoo replied to a topic in Football
Can't hold anything against Shay, he should be made a saint for the service he's given us over the years. Will be very sad to see him go, although if we were going to sell him at all now isn't a bad time to maximise the return. -
Maybe giving it to a new signing like Nolan will be like when a new boss comes in at work, everyone tows the line for a while until they find out what's going on. If we bring him in to boss the midfield, then maybe giving him the armband will boost his authority and help him motivate the players around him more.

Berbatov is pure class but i agree that Tevez is over-rated. There's no way he's worth £25m - he works very hard but for £25m i'd want about 10 more gaols per season from him Not sure, Berbatov is class but you can't build a team (or even a strikeforce) with Berbatovs, Tevez is the ideal player for Man Utd at the moment.

AyeDubbleYoo replied to a topic in Football
One thing we can say about the club at the moment is that they seem to be good at extracting the most money for players. The Milner sale was a good example. (Obviously I delete this if the final fee is £5m!) -

If we got Michael Ball in exchange the negativity on here would hit record levels! Johnson would be class, but isn't he injured short-term? -
Charles N'Zogbia joins Wigan Athletic for fee believed to be £6.5m
AyeDubbleYoo replied to Nicky's topic in Football
I think he might be heading the way of Bernard... talks himself up then ends up at an average club and derails his whole career. I wouldn't shed a tear. -
I forgot about the captaincy as well, I say give him the armband straight away, we've got nobody else to wear the thing.

It's getting to the point when we won't be able to spend the Shay money, we need to get some players in exchange. -

Deed poll, the solution to the N'Zogbia problem. Or should I call him Jimmy Smith? -
N'Zogbia: Lyon interested according to agent
AyeDubbleYoo replied to TêteDeMaure's topic in Football
why ? Hardly professional, this sort of thing shouldn't even come out in the press. A top managers comment would have been I'll speak with the player tomorrow in training. Alex Ferguson would have said that then you never would have seen the player again. I know things are bad at the minute and the club is silent so any comment seems good but the fact is this has been one of our problems in the past, doing everything through the press. Should be kept out of the press totally. I don't agree, He had been accussed of insulting a player, and however ridiculous, I think it was absolutely right for JK to come out and qiuckly dismiss the Zogs faux outrage it as the nonsense that it was. souness-eque...compound the original perceived insult by making a new one in response to a question about the original one!! Thats basically what my worry is with JK I normally cannot stand his constant jabbering, but when a player say's he is so insulted that he will never play again over something so innocuous, there needs to be a quick response. But that response doesn't have to be to the press. Normally I'd agree, but in this case it doesn't worry me as the Zog situation has been beyond help for ages. It's obvious he's just looking for any excuse to force a move, and JK actually sounded quite sensible in response. -

AyeDubbleYoo replied to TêteDeMaure's topic in Football
I'd love it if we were in the position to just keep him and let him rot, but sadly we can't turn down the transfer fee. I've supported the Zog and thought he was badly treated when we signed Duff, but he's making himself look the worst kind of dick at the moment. -
Surely it's a better signing now than five years ago? Then we could have better players than Nolan, now we absolutely need the likes of him.

Journal 'sources': Newcastle offer £10m for Veloso
AyeDubbleYoo replied to Baggio's topic in Football
Pretty much the thought approach that I'm taking. You need to pick yourself up a bit lads, I know it's depressing at the moment but surely these are positive moves? I'd say Veloso is a long shot but Nolan and Ebondo look like they will happen. -

Kinnear in sensible quotes shocker! -
Shit, I just opened the thread to do the same joke!
-
He's actually not that old either is he? He's got potential if he can unlock it again. A body for midfield, can't complain, in the circumstances a very good signing.

Barton out for eight weeks (broken metatarsal), Owen TBC
AyeDubbleYoo replied to KaKa's topic in Football
Owen takes ages to recover as he isn't a quick healer. With ebery injury he laso becomes slower and slower it seems. No point hoping he returns. We need to find players from somewhere. Owen and Barton are pretty much done for the season. Swap Zoggy for Fred. Swap Given for Fernandes and Onuoha. Hopefully some cash also. Find a left back from somewhere (swap Smithy for Baines?). Spend soem money on an affordable CM like this Italian bloke we're supposedly after. This is how we should be thinking right now. Those would be very good moves. -
Do reckon they might cancel this if we don't make any signings and we lose the mackems game? Can't see what they could say in those circumstances.
-
He's terrible, but we wouldn't think he was half as bad if he just knew how to keep his mouth shut with the press. You can almost feel the joy in their voices when they interview him, he provides them with so much to print. Staggering.
-
Hopefully he will realise that, get Ebondo, up the big for M'Bia and find a striker from somewhere! I love the optimism... pretty blind though... I hope i'm proved wrong but other than a few scrambled loan signings i can't see us bringing anyone at all in Not saying I think it will happen, but if anything was going to get Mike to raise a few extra quid then what's happened over the last few games might do it.
