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.

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.

This is the most absurdly surreal argument I've ever had on this form.

My mom, what's a mom? Anyway, people obviously do care what he has as an avatar. Thankfully, I don't care about the people who are unfortunate enough to care about what I have as an avatar.

It's a joke that absolutely no-one besides you is taking seriously GM, and to be fair, probably not entirely untrue either.

But now I have came on here thinking it's been confirmed this guy is a t*** and we are in talks to sign Barnetta when in fact it's only speculation at this stage. I think it's fairly clear that he's a t*** at this point. What the f*** is that s**** written under your avatar? Total disgrace. Have a word with yourself, man. I had a word. Myself says it's okay.

Because I don't want people who don't get the joke to immediately see the thread title and go suicidal like I did.

Thread from Hell

Fake shirts aren't prevalent in Korea and Japan at all. Our glory hunters aren't skint. First three are ManU/Liverpool/Arsenal. Man U is obvious. Liverpool for people who like to claim they know more about football because of the history. Arsenal for people who like to claim they care about the stylish football. Newcastle for masochistic idiots.
