Bigger transfer fee = more of Ashley's debt paid off

South Korea U20s taking Spain U20s down to the wire. Currently 18 minutes in to extra time. 0-0

I feel like somebody's cut up my dick into three pieces and forced me to eat them one by one

My attempt to shine a ray of hope on this absolute shitstorm is that I'd guess that he's taken a pay cut.

Negative people.

We're getting pretty desperate on the striker front, It's quite possible that we're now willing to widen the net a bit instead of refusing to sign anyone who's not a french-speaking under 25. Then again, we all know what Spurs ITKs are worth

The Carlton Cole joke got old back in June.

This is the truth. Starting to get those bad Michael Owen vibes now. (The "always injured" Owen, not the "what a complete piece of cuntish shit" Owen)

Wouldn't be surprising at all since all our striking targets so far have been French based. That would definitely be under the radar. What's he like? I don't really follow French football. Imagine a Wayne Rooney who can't finish to save his life.

IMO there's significant cause for concern. The fact that he always needs to be back in France to treat his injuries together with the fact that his injuries always seem to result in more time out than expected, combined with his history of bad behavior makes me think that something fishy is going on here.

Depends on whether he's the replacement for Joey. Regardless of whether Barton goes or not I doubt Obertan would be first choice on the right. Who would be incase of Barton's departure? Jonas? Doubt it as he's much better on the left and is important to Enrique. Marveaux? Doubt it as he's not fit, yet. Jonas or Marveaux, or possibly even Ben Arfa when fit. The Jonas+Enrique combination will no longer be an issue

Makes a tiny, tiny morsel of sense if we've determined that Forster isn't good enough, Harper is finished, and we need someone to backup/mentor/compete with Krul.

Fucking Xisco man. Can he even go back to being a professional footballer at any level after doing fuck all for three years?

All he really needs to do is be better than Routledge. Not much is expected of him.

Man U supporting "mates" reckon he's nothing special, but admit that even they haven't seen enough of him to take judgement, which is fair I suppose. Never really given much of a chance at Man U... Hopefully more playing time will let him develop.

You've got to wonder why Liverpool aren't trying to push this through more quickly given that they're going in to the season next week with a great big heap of nothing at left back.

RE: Park Chu-Young His agent has just confirmed that he's turned down offers from Lille and Bordeaux and is saying that they might have "very good news to announce soon." I think it's well within the realm of possibility that we've entered the race now after Erding turned us down.

Matched up against Spain for the U-20 WC octofinals

Why's he starting at all? It must be obvious to everyone that we're not going to keep him. Seems a desperate waste of time.

Is there a good article that summarizes what Pardew says? Looked through the thread but can't seem to find one.
