Can't help being a bit excited, even if we're facing a molestation. It's good to be involved in these games again.

We're talking £5 mill for chrissakes not Leeds or Pompey spending proportions. The post I was commenting on was on the principle of not judging owners based on finance, not just on this transfer.

Hmm, but what if they move the club forward through terrible financial management that leaves us in significant debt? Don't see how you can totally disregard that, it's an important part of being a good 'caretaker'.

I was thinking similar, if we somehow scrape a result, would they think we dont need better than weve already got? I think we already know we aren't as good as Man Utd. Yeah but even inferior teams can pull off a shock result, as dilligaf says a draw may have Ashley thinking that everything will be fine this season with what he has, his goal is to survive and I'm sure it's also to survive at the least expense possible. Still hoping for a result of course, just worry how a good result will effect our retarded owner. Yeah, what I'm saying is that a hammering by Man Utd will already be expected, therefore it won't lead to the club changing their opinion of the season to come. If Ashley is gambling, then he's gambling we can take these hammerings and still get enough points to survive. I'm not saying he's correct BTW.

To be honest, most of our movements on transfers have been decent recently, addressing things we need. The problem is that we're not usually talking about the level of player we would like. And we have so many needs to address.

I'm watching it with a mate in NW1 bar, Camden town if anyone if around! Long shot I know.

True, I quite like it though. Even if we get humped, we're competing at the top level again.

I'm confused at how these guys become journalists when everyone on here could have told him that two days ago Me too, basically they now just report what another newspaper/website has already said and that's a 'source'. In the case of the BBC, they even interview and quote their own colleagues! It's mental man, I tell thee.

Give 'em hell soldier!

Yeah, Derbyshire has what it takes for the Prem I reckon, if given a fair run.

I just want to see the final results of the poll.

I was actually, thought they were new quotes. Ah well, still looks fairly promising.

Real quotes!!!! If it is a loan with first refusal to buy for £5m it's a great deal IMO.

This is basically what I'm worried about, will just try to enjoy the game and being back in the big time.

Let's hope everyone else takes that approach.

They'd probably want more than that.

We should definitely be in for him, ideal solution for him and us.

:clap2: Remember how fucking great Jonas looked on the opening day at OT two years ago? Howay the lads! Yeaaaahhhh booooyyyyyyy!

I'm clenched already.

West Brom will probably go down, so will Blackpool... Wigan look horrible and so do West Ham. Birmingham could turn out to be poor, so could another couple of teams. We're quite bad, but so are a lot of other people.

This is an old-school transfer though... claim and counter-claim, agents spouting off in the press, incompetent club president. Classic stuff.

I've got one, but I'll only sell it to you permanently, and only if my other one doesn't sell as well. It's slightly temperamental mind, doesn't always want to work.
