Jesus christ. Why people insist on rimming Nicky Butt i don't know. He was shite for the majority of last season.

Agreed, i've just been watching his DVD and that's the conclusion i came to. He's no Ginola.

I really don't think anyone seriously thinks he will be a David Bentley, not even Pool and Bolton fans think that. You can't force people to be optimistic about this when there is no reason to be.

I can't help but be pessimistic about this transfer. And a Liverpool fan telling us that he's alright but Lucas and Plessis are ahead of him does nothing to help me.

I don't see how we have a choice, this is too bad for morale. Imagine if you were Beye(or whoever) and your teammate is talking like that, like the team is shit and he is too good for it. We have time to replace him, so lets do it. Gutierrez has played on the left alot so we have cover there if we don't get anyone in for the start of the season.

The Arsenal and Spurs ships have sailed. The very best he will do is West Ham, if not them then it would have to be Fulham. The guy has made a big fucking mistake.

Touché. Most were quick to dismiss the similar comments from Martins the other day after all. Still, it'd not be the first time he's shown himself to be a little keen to move. Oba wasn't begging for a move. He said he "probably" would go to Arsenal if we accepted a bid, but that if we didn't accept a bid he would be fine with it. Zogs comments are far worse in my eyes.

I wonder if Fulham will still be interested. That way he gets his London move, and we get to laugh at him being relegated.

I think you're in denial. I've always been a Zog fan, always thought he had alot of talent, but he's clearly proven himself to be a cock.

Sell him to a foreign club, preferably one in outer mongolia. Little bastard.

I've just been watching a DVD called 'Gokhan Inler 07/08: Beyond the Glory', and i can tell you he is a mediocre grafter, a bit like James Milner.

I do hate it how people keep pointing at our defence and not our midfield as the main area to improve. All that tells me is that they didn't watch us last season and have only looked at the stats. Lack of goals = strikers needed, goals let in = defenders needed, it's not as simple as that.

There was article on the back page tonight with quotes from Taylor the article was written by Lee Ryder & no Olly. Edgar was quoted in the paper. Alan Oliver has been on holiday for about 10 days now. Cheers. Any chance you can tell us what he's wearing?

What is this DVD called?

Interesting that you would comment on that and not the appearance statistics that i was referring to. For a winger he starts a good number of games.

http://www.football-lineups.com/footballer/1657/ Those aren't the stats of a bit part player to me.

There is an element of luck here and there. Sendings off, pens, last minute injuries etc. But the ones who tend to come top are the ones that are always on the FF site, always checking up on their team.

Why would we approach them if they hadn't approached us first to show they're interested? It makes no sense.

Where is the evidence? Even if this story was true it would tell me he DOESN'T want to sell, because no one would pay that price for the club.

He has started nearly every Mallorca league game over the past 3 years, how is he not a sure starter?

Oooh good grief. I never knew they existed.

This isn't like with Barton, Duff, Smith, Viduka, and Geremi. Taylor could easily be sold on, we aren't lumbered with him, so i don't see why so many people are complaining.

Fair enough, he was probably offered a position as Beye's back up.

Good news.

They make it sound like he's desperate to sell. IF someone has come in and he has quoted them £420m, then that clearly means he DOESN'T want to sell. No finance company would get ripped off like that.
