I still think (hope) two will come in. Still 5 days left. The Milner situation seems to be complicated by the fact he's seemingly not bothered about Villa. Looking forward to the end of all this nonsense come Tuesday.

I think we may end up doing a straight swap with Liverpool for Pennant and Insua. Weren't we offered something similar earlier in the summer (with Guthrie and A N Other)?

I wouldn't mind Charlie in this role. Given the circumstances, rather him than Duff. He is quick, skillful and direct, so why not? I do prefer him on the left wing, but that belongs to Jonas now, so it's up to him to find a niche or find somewhere else. He's not going to be a reserve is he? Josimar. Charlie is facing a predicament now. He's got to find a position to make his own (not left-back). At the moment he's left-wing, occasional left-back, and sometime central midfieder. This season he has to decide what he wants to do, and where he wants to play. I think he's good enough to be a big player for us, but if he thinks he's better, then we should say thanks, and good night.

Hehe. Sooory. Second to be too late. :colo:

Just on SSN. Looks like Owen is going to be fit tomorrow.

Indeed. Look at Jonas, he was a 'who' signing, but he's a cult hero already. A few more like that would do me.

It's horrible compared to last year. Looks like a Working Men's Club carpet.

Like i said above. Any chance i could get my ticket tommorow if i went in with the correct documents? It says in the announcement on the official website that you should go before Saturday to collect a paper ticket if you're worried about your ST not arriving on time. I would imagine all you would need really is your ST number, but just to be on the safe side take last seasons, plus any letters with regards to this seasons ST if you have any, and maybe a form of ID. You probably won't need all that though. Oh aye, and ask them for your f***ing travel money for the inconvenience. You see the problem is that it's my dad's ST, so ID would bollocks it up. The parents fly abroad tommorow, that's why it's worse for me. Hopefully, those papers will do. I'm sure I read somewhere that you wouldn't need ID. I think they're well aware that half the people in the stadium use tickets without their names on. I got mine today too. Roll on Saturday :colo:

Exactly. I remember Bobby said in his autobiography that his <b>scouts found him the gems and he polished them.</b> Similar relationship here, nothing wrong with it, if it works. My God, what must Bramble have been like before a good polishing?

Saviola. A triumvirate of Geordie Argies taking the Premiership by storm.

They're in The Telegraph. Henry Winter, and he doesn't usually make stuff up. Must've been part of the post match press conference. Sweet if it's true.

Aye, it's a while since we've seen anyone being able to clear the first defender from corners. Hopefully we'll get a few more like that this year.

We've got one. Foluwashola Ameobi.

Yeah, he's more Beardsley than Owen. I'd take him on loan definitely. nah, he's more Owen actually. Owen's role at the end of last season is perfect for Saviola tbh. Saviola will get the ball and look to play the one-two or use his pace to get in behind. Beardsley was a lot more creative and skillfull and prefered to take people on I've only really seen him in internationals, and I always thought he played as a creative forward, like Beardsley. Not that it matters, he's a good player with a decent goal scoring record. Like others have said though, we could do with a big fella as well. Getting greedy now.

Smith for captain

They're out of fashion right now. Yep. Gok Wan thinks they don't work hard enough defensively.

It's plain to see that central midfield is our Achilles heel. I don't know much about Guthrie, so I can't comment, but surely Keegan will be bringing a central midfielder in before the deadline. Let's wait and see who else arrives before arguing about whether Butt is shitter than Geremi. all well and good but the premiership season starts for us on Sunday Man Utd away. If we're going to get one out of the way, it might as well be this one.

Nope. Good job we're not at home this weekend.

Dong's out (for the lads)

It's a virus picked up in Nigeria apparently. Ebola hopefully.

It will indeed. Smith is 'the Emperor's New Clothes' of footballers.

Can't see that like. He's been abysmal for us under two different managers, both in midfield and up front. Moyes is a good manager, but you can't polish a turd
