This is getting quite irritating.

I hope Moyes see's it that way aswell.

We heard this shit from him last summer, it didn't make him improve any.

Ho ho ho.

I said Butthrie, ie whoever proves the better option for the DM slot between Butt and Guthrie. Butt's defensively perfect for the role, whereas Guthrie would appear to be the better passer of the ball. A hybrid of some sort would be ideal, but I'd be confident one of them could do the job anyway. Butt's even worse, there's nothing perfect about him, i'd rather play Guthrie. I'm not down on Guthrie, it's just that to give him such an important role would be a massive gamble. Should sign someone like Manuel Fernandes tbh.

Bearing in mind that it is arguably the most important position in that formation, You would go into the season with Guthrie as first choice? If we don't buy better central midfielders i will kill myself, don't think i'm joking. I definitely think we should keep the 4-3-3 though.

How is Smith playing?

6th richest man, super awesome!!

N'zogbia FFS what has he ever done? Who is the alternative? As things stand the Zog would start for us in a 442.

And yet we'll still get the leaky defence clichés in the press. We conceded 65 goals last season. ahem. The defence always gets the blame, it's never anything to do with the midfield as far as the media are concerned. I think that the defence was probably culpable for at least some of those 65, though. No shit.

3 years ago and he hasn't reoffended, who gives a fuck?

Oh it just gets funnier every time you see it.

I've kept an eye on that Nicko chap, even his own kind is turning against him now. 100% bullshit merchant, he knows no more than any of us. It's all based on speculation and internet rumours.

I can't stand Barton and would've sacked him, but this is turning into a witch hunt. Fucking move on people.

That's it really, it all depends on what the budget is. We still need to invest heavily in the midfield.

Apparently last season was his best ever, and he played every game.

Compared to Villa spending £10m on Curtis Davies, this would be a bargin.

I heard it was more than twice his current wage, which is apparently a mere 1 million euro's a year. That is only something like £16k a week. So Coloccini would be offered in the region on 40-50k.

Jesus christ, this thread has decended into gobbledygook.

Bowyer was a better player than Barton if you ask me, he actually looked very promising for Leeds. Barton on the other hand i have never rated.

That Spanish site looked a bit dodgy to me.

Chelsea wannabes. Trying to hoover up all the players just so your rivals can't get them.
