Kimbo

I've never seen him, but apparently he's a DM so this is a welcome rumour. We've not been linked to enough DM's.

Well no, nothings been resolved.

That's what?

Well whether he is the "best" player at the club is very debatable, he's the most high profile but not the best IMO. And nobody is being punished here. It sounds like the club want to use a wage cap, if Owen is the only player earning over that wage cap then naturally he will be offered lower wages. The message that it sends out i hope would be that we're not mugs anymore and are an efficiently run club. I think you massively overrate the importance of Owen to be honest, if he decides to leave over the wage issue then so be it, he's not irreplaceable like some people seem to think.

No, because messing about with N'Zogbias contract will make very very little difference to the ultimate aim of cutting down the wage bill. The likes of Owen though...

Since when was N'Zogbia on high wages?

It's not about business, it's about judging a players talent. It was suggested that Ashley might take Kemsleys opinion Modric. The question should be how is Kemsley qualified to do that? Do people here really think Ashley is a mug?

So he would take Kemsleys opinion over that of Wise and Vetere. What a load of nonsense.

You don't wrap a billionaire businessman round your finger. He's small fry compared to Ashley.

Well he's bought Johnny foreigners in the past so i'm guess yes, yes he does.

It's probably wages, like us they need to cut down.

Zaragoza are a bit like us and Spurs, they have money to attract these types of players and they were doing alright when they signed him.

Give him more of a free role, if you do that you really see the best of those sort of players. I'm sure Keegan would know what to do with him. Nope. He would´t do that. Aimar is a pure attacking player He wouldn't do what? If he's a pure attacking player a free role would suit him.

The club can't afford to pay players 120k a week, we're not a CL club. Ashley obviously wants to run the club efficiently, if that means Owen leaving then so be it. He's not a "genuine world class player" at all, he's not Eto'o ffs.

Bollocks. Their president has already said he would accept 13 million euros. If someone pays 20 million i'll give you a biscuit. Maybe it will be more than 13 after the tournament, but not that much more.

Nobby showed some class for West Ham, it's just that he's getting on. If he would take low wages and be a back up i would take him, but i think he would probably rather go back to South America.

tbf marca is usually quite reliable but i agree that if the right offer comes in he will leave. Marca is worse than our tabloids. It's a daily paper dedicated to sport, that means there's even more bullshit. They got in trouble once for making up quotes from Kaka, or photo shopping him into a Real Madrid shirt, it was something like that. Probably both.

Give him more of a free role, if you do that you really see the best of those sort of players. I'm sure Keegan would know what to do with him.

Aimar won't stay if he gets decent offer. Fact. Whether they can afford him or not.

Petrov will turn 30 next season, for a player whose main attribute is pace i'm not sure it would be wise to buy him.

By the time he left he wasn't rated at all. He flopped.

The Senor Cruz that flopped in Germany? If Santa Cruz can succeed here then this guy definitely can.

It's a bit harsh to hold things that happened over 3 years ago against him. Since then he's only got better.

Wouldnt touch him after his Chelsea days Why not? He's not a cokehead anymore.

Good for them. I would want us to see cash from any sponsorship deal though.
