there was talk about a wage increase to put him in line with taylor etc... presumably not getting it

that reads like a pie in the sky FM series of ratings

It's early doors, but he's the best passing Centre Half I've seen play for the club. Think it was about 107 mins his 1st misplaced/intercepted pass, and as you've mentioned hit a few superb passes along the ground straight from defence up to Milner/Gutierrez bypassing the midfield. Would be interesting to see his (Opta?) stats for last night as a good percentage weren't just easy passes sideways at the back. Don't think I've ever seen Scott Parker or Nicky Butt hit a perfect 40? yard pass forwards along the ground haha!!! woodgate was severely underrated for his passing, he was great remember everton away where he took the ball down under pressure, skipped away from a player and sent a gorgeous ball out to robert left wing who (a) belted it in the near top corner or (b) didn't just can't remember if the goal robert scored was from that pass, think it was...anyway it was quality

We don't need another hero! thanks for the input I agree we don't need another CB, Fullback's and cm's are required. striker, striker, striker not 3 strikers, just one good one and a CM we can worry about FB's later imo nailed on. Even a blind man can see it. that aside i'm goona check the odds for owen to be top scorer in the PL this season, think he's gonna have a fuckin blinder Aye, keep him fit and he will have a stormer. He looks very hungry. if he plays 30 games, just over 75% he'll get 20 goals imo not just owen, it's the teams play he's thriving on...other people in the team are doing stuff and he's able to use that to exploit the space they create Hope your right but he's never ever hit 20 league goals in a season throughout his career, so I wouldn't be betting money on it. not gonna put the house on it like, if it was a safe bet there'd be little point in betting it anyways

that got me too, magnificent

We don't need another hero! we don't need no education next

i don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that if we sign michael dawson it will be the biggest mistake in human history

oh, i think you read that to be a negative post right? not intended to be at all...what i meant was there will be targets and KK will be no doubt asking about the status of moves for them no?

probably more likely KK will be asking why "deal x" isn't proceeding rather than "how much do i have to spend?" Fucking hell man. what?

last window was this "regime" tooj! oh you mean the manager...! you're right like, sign nowt rather than shite as witnessed by alan smith - still we'll get something in personally mind

regardless of how the press spin it things like these meetings are always amazing to me, i find it inexplicable that football operates the way it does keegan himself iirc has mentioned the subject of the meeting to discuss owens contract or whatever else right? why the fuck doesn't he just pick up a phone? hoy it on conference - "hello mike, derek, dennis etc... please update me with regards the following..." then when he's asked about it he can just say, yeah we spoke yesterday and (insert appropriate press fuck off) just wierd to me in this day and age that they carry on like this, unless it's a regular meeting the press are highjacking for their own ends of course?

sell duff & smith for next to nothing and keep milner, i keep saying it...we don't need to sell him we need shot of the other two & milners better than them both put together in either a MD or FW role

mebees aye, such as "wow, what the fuck is going on?"

personally think the"difficulty" with transfers is blown out of proportion by clubs to suit them, increasingly seems like the windows are becoming a game of brinksmanship (witness spurs/berbatov) I'd say thats exactly what they are and have been since the stakes have been high in the leagues. Thats what makes them so hard. In any market there are 4 basic variables, the 2 valuations of the resource being traded and the 2 'willingness to accept/pay' for the resource. The market has a huge flaw in it, as it has a close date at the end of august which distorts the 4 basic variables. If your target resource has to have an alternative (i.e a club needs a striker no matter if they get their intended target) then the selling club is incentivised to delay any deal as the willingness to pay and the valuation will rise. However, the player in question knows he is being traded and if the deal doesnt come off, he is less valuable to the selling club when the window is shut. There is therefore an incentive for the buying club to also delay the deal as the value the selling club's is willing to accept rapidly diminishes as the end of the window approaches (the more desperate they are to off-load). In fact you still see a lot of very low value deals at the end of the window as clubs off load unhappy players to cut their losses. The winner in this situation probably depends on which club has the best valuation of the player, or is more sure of it. Its because of this i feel you should only be going for something extra for the team at the end of the window and building your squad with well thought through value for money deals early in the window. but the players don't mind holding on in case a better deal/bigger club comes along,as do the selling clubs. the buying clubs may have an advantage in waiting in that any price may drop if no-oe else comes in for the player who wants to move and the players club wants rid. i like the window as it forces clubs to use their squad. they can't just go out and get someone to cover injuries or if they struggle (i'd actually quite like the windowshut through the entire season) should apply to managers & coaches as well imo, if you fire someone you can only appoint from within

Would Guthrie, Gutierrez, Bassong and (to some degree) Coloccini be classed as these in your view? daves right like, IF club now go and spaff their wad on some real quality now otherwise i'm afraid i don't really know what they are still the same i guess, but the positives the club have acheived in getting them become somewhat negated imo if it all stops here (remember my 10m spend post a couple of weeks ago?! eek)

as long as ji-sungs at manu koreans won't care less about anyone else or any other PL club; he's their best player by a mile and is playing at the best team in the PL...if he moves the koreans will follow him wherever he goes, they'll forget manu overnight en mass

any reason? he's shite...the koreans talk up any of their sportspersons like they're fucken supermen but even they reckon he's gone to ratshit since coming in as the golden boy

personally think the"difficulty" with transfers is blown out of proportion by clubs to suit them, increasingly seems like the windows are becoming a game of brinksmanship (witness spurs/berbatov) there are probably hundreds of bids sitting around 'on tables' to use newspaper parlance, that will either be accepted or not depending on the selling club for a variety of reasons, i'd imagine they mostly come down to clubs trying to squeeze a few extra drops of cash i see no reason why, should a bid that's been sitting there suddenly be accepted a deal and then transfer couldn't be thrashed out very quickly indeed, never have done either - unless i've missed a massive change in the games administration then paperwork is still what it was
