Were you the first man on the moon? Neil Armstrong. Yes yes yes, but supposing I didn't know that. etc

Whcih two are they?

Pretty harsh. NRC isn't the best but he certainly isn't the worst either. In a midfield alongside Cahill, Pienaar, Arteta and Fellaini he would be alright I think. The others would make up for his lack of technical ability and he would add a hell of a lot of aggression and drive. The guy does a lot of hard work in midfield. I think he would certainly be an upgrade on playing Phil Neville in midfield. He can tackle (well, more that he's an in your face, tenacious type), the problem is that he can't pass. These are his specialities. 1. Tackles, wins ball, tries to pass it - at most - five yards to team mate, fails. 2. Makes run, box to box style, holds on to ball too long, runs into defender, loses it.

I dunno, who was that guy I saw play for you in the UEFA - Salifou? He seemed pretty technically inept, and that's before we get to Marlon Harewood! They're both technically better than Nigel. No, seriously.

Yours looks like Usain Bolt compared to ours.

Everton linked with Nigel Reo-Coker. Oh please God, please make it happen. That's what you call a six pointer. Get shot of the most technically inept footballer I've seen play for us for a long time, and fob him off on a direct rival.

Shit, I just recussitated a really old thread, apols. EDIT and engaged in the worst bit of spelling I've carried out since i was at school

yes clubs could carry 100mill of debt...if they werent already paying out more than was coming in and having to borrow to pay its current loans. Every single PL club is carrying debt, varrying from 700m (Chelsea) to 1m (Hull). If you don't stay in the PL that is the quickest way of going out of business. doesn't in anyway address what i was saying. in my numerous discussions with ne5 i had to constantly state that i don't think debt is necessarily a bad thing contrary to how he tried to portray me. Well if a PL club don't have debt I'd fire the board as they clearly aren't trying. Bolton, Everton, Pompey and Villa all have debt between 40-80m. How do they continue??? maybe they aren't borrowing 30mill a year to finance that debt. (villa have lerner to back it up and pompey couldn't do it, thats the main reason their owner sold them) Villa's debts are to Lerner. When benevolent billionaires pump money into football clubs, they don't just stick it in their bank account, they do what RA does at Chelsea and make it a loan to the club. Then if they sell the club, it is a loan which is due repayment from the new owners.

just like to add to this; I HOPE HE LOSES EVERYTHING AND HIM, HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN END UP FLIPPING MY BURGERS THE FUCKING CUNT You eat burgers? Crikey, how very déclassé

None that would tempt Megan, which is the salient point.

This transfer window is quite boring, isn't it? I've never even heard of Melo. Except his name sounds like 'mela' which is the Italian word for "apple". God, I'm bored. You've been linked strongly with Hangeland. Would be a very nice replacement for Laursen I reckon. I agree. In the Times that Harry offered Jenas and Bentley for Carew. Really fancies himself as a whealer dealer does Redknapp Thoughts? That's like me saying I quite fancy Megan Fox and am considering offering her a go on my Xbox in return for her letting me sexually abuse her for hours on end.

Villa rumoured to be "in advanced talks" with that Berg bloke. Although knowing Martin, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be Henning Berg

Apparently Paul Scholes has been at Villa's training ground this week. Apparently he's deciding between us and Everton. Great player. Past it.

He;s been injury prone for years. He's still injury prone now, going to Man U doesn't automatically change that, so I suspect you are right. I actually think his best move would have been to have gone to someone like Villa or Everton, where he'd have got a lot of football (if fit)

I think the main reason that people are feeling arsey about this is that we spent a fucking shedload of cash on transfer fees and wages on someone who looked like he couldn't give a fuck. I really think he was about at the level of maybe Stoke, Birmingham City or even Reading. To have the non-scoring, boring, unmotivated, unispiring (and remember he was captain of our club) twatfilled injury-clad arsehole get a contract at Man United is a fucking kick in the teeth. C'mon brummie, tell me in the past couple of years what has Owen done to justify a squad position in any of the top four teams in England? Nothing. That's exactly what I'm saying, I'm entirely in agreement with you. It'd stick in my craw as well. Massively. If I were a Newcastle fan, I'd have been practically on my knees praying to see him limp off after his first home game at the KC Stadium next season. I'd also have this down as the last kick in the bollocks of a truly awful season.

If that were true, Terry would be up there now, talking about being played in his best position every week, wanting to challenge for honours, believing in their project etc etc. FAT CUNT BARRY, YOU FAT CUNT. I heard you say he's not up to much anyway, so don't let it bother you. He's crap, I've said that for ages. Crap and he's got a fat arse. Crap, fat arsed wanker. I don;t mind him chasing the cash, I object to the empty apologies to the simple supporters. Keep it to yourself, you fat cunt, you're gone, and the entire world knows why you went there. Manchester City, FFS.

Let's be honest. The main reason people are so arsey about this on here (not the only one by any means, I understand and appreciate the other sources of bitterness to Owen, and I'd feel the same) is that he's signed for Manchester United and not Hull City, and the spectre of an Owen enjoying success there after the sap that he was on your resources is just too much to bare. I'm right, aren't I? I'd feel the same.

Bless him, he's a local lad and Villa through and through, but when I think of Darius, his best "asset" really is that he's a pretty convincing Spike Lee lookalike. I've never in my entire life seen a striker so utterly clueless in one on one's with a goal keeper.

Dawson only played 13 league games last year. He did actually get better, after a decidedly ropey time the year before. Even if Bassong's better than Dawson (and he's probably got better touch and is quicker, their tackling is similar, and Dawson's better in the air) he still wouldn't be a first choice for Spurs which was my point. Bassong would be great cover, as he would be for Villa. I like Bassong but to be honest, I wouildn;t want us to sign him. We need an experienced head at CB to bring the best out of Davies or Cuellar - when Laursen got injured, those two both went to tit.

Surely Sebastien Bassong is a better player than Michael Dawson? In fact, isn't Shirley Bassey a better player than Michael Dawson? I didn't see much of Spurs last year, but he's always struck me as the third chuckle brother, so apologies if he's improved massively last season.

That's mad if true. Infact anything over £25m for him would be madness. Worth every penny. I debate that, I normally agree with you Mattis you are one of the few with a good knowledge of Europe, but I dunno 38M is a massive amount. When you think that Berbatov went for £30 mill, it doesn't seem as bad. yes, and then, as the Americans would say, "stunk the place out".
