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.

Ask me on the 1st september.

Load of shite, it would be quite amusing to see the Z0G end up in the SPL though.

We're not signing Warnock then. Can't say i'm fussed.

I think he will stay for a couple of years getting the club into 5th-8th territory, and then move upstairs with the squad in a much better state than it is in now.

Ho ho ho.

His disclocated shoulder could have happened to anyone, it's just one of those things.

If only he had the attitude and talent.

He's doing well considering he's been playing for Falkirk, the other lads are playing first team football in Holland so have a big advantage.

Krul is injured to be fair. Forster is the same age as Krul, but has no reputation and hasn't represtented England at any level. If we are getting rid of Krul because we have Forster i would be very sceptical.

why ? if someone offers us more than we feel he is worth then fine. not like we've seen enough to say how good he is. but still i like the idea of 2 first teamers (harper.given) and two back ups/reserves (forster.krul) soderberg aint 18 till this sunday (research from madras..f***ing hell people) so he is edge of reserves and in the youths. He's a highly rated youngster, and so far his time here seems to have gone to plan with his successful loan spell and breaking into the U21s. The smart thing to do would be to loan him out for one more season then get rid of Given or Harper and make him 2nd choice. The rumoured price is something like 2 million euros, that is peanuts. It makes me wonder what we will do when Tozer, Kadar, LuaLua etc reach 19/20.

I'm optimistic but that's just plain wrong. and maybe an AM I'm a Barton & Geremi fan you see Definitely in need of at least one more quality midfielder and desperate for a centre forward imo. Creativity in midfield has been lacking a bit, but an in-form Barton is very good (unfortunately not an incarcerated Barton though) Not sure centre forward is all that urgent - but Viduka staying fit is highly unlikely I just think we are sh*t at the back, especially as far as strength in depth goes A big reason we're shit at the back is our midfield. They can't hold onto the ball, they're not mobile, and they don't have good positioning, plus they have a habit of diving in. Teams walk through our midfield.

saw youtube....he looks awesome!!!! but its youtube.... Yep, a DVD would be far more reliable.

Apparently he did very well at Falkirk. If this is the way our new youth system is going to work then we may aswell not bother. Fuck it.

http://sport.setanta.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/07/18/Prem-Krul-set-for-Heerenveen/ Don't fucking sell him for christ sake!

It would be criminal if we sold him, 1 more year out on loan and he should be ready.

I am considering whether we already have an option linked to Emre. Deals with both players seem to have stalled. doubt they'd be linked with arda at gala and emre supposedly going to fener Emre was a Galatasaray favourite and him going to Fener supposedly created a stir. Has he officially signed for Fener? It's only stalling so that Emre doesn't have to do national service. It's basically a done deal.

Manuel Fernandes I find it bizarre that nobody is snapping him up.

He could do a good job for a season or two, if it's true(doubtful) i would take him, if he's cheap. The fact is we aren't going to get promising young players in every position this summer, it's too much.

I don't even believe we were in for Aimar, and i couldn't care less about Ferdinand, for me he isn't better than Taylor.

Man's an idiot. Oh yeah, our expectations are stopping us from signing these players that we probably don't have any interest in. Plonker.

Nicko is a genius.
