My thoughts exactly, would Terry shut up if he didn't have the armband? Ofcourse not. Shay deserves it.

Smith is a poor player that would demand high wages and a first team place, and he is nowhere near the likes of Viduka/Martins/Owen in terms of ability. Someone tell me where he would fit in at Newcastle. We don't need another forward.

Forget what i said before, it's annoying me now. "i think once we talk to him he'll opt for us but i just hope we can get parker as well"

Bickering with West Ham fans, how depressing. A sign of how far we've fallen.

The unjustifiable arrogance in that kumb thread is MENTAL!!! They're not Chelsea and we're not bloody Fulham, absolute lunatics!

Decent player, but not one that has aspirations of finishing near or in the waffa cup spots. To be honest most of the names i see people talking about stink of midtable mediocrity - Barton/Jagielka/Reo-Coker/Diop etc. It's all very depressing. Why aren't people wanting players like Manuel Fernandes, genuine class?!

That Eggybertsen bloke is an idiot, apparently Benayouns new contract is worth 60k a week aswell. They're a mini Chelsea and will never break even. Madness.

I'm a big fan of Viduka,... but Barton! What is he good at??? He's a grafter, that's it, and we would never have heard of him if he was foreign.

The only problem with Sissoko is... he can't pass, oh and he has awful technique. That's 2 problems. He's not an improvement on Parker IMO.

One is 21 and the other is 26, also one is alot more realistic than the other. I would pick Fernandes myself.

Manuel Fernandes has to be made the #1 target IMO, he's a class player already and is only going to get better. Benfica are looking for around that £11m, but if Ashley is serious about looking to "revive a fallen giant"(or some bullshit like that), then he should be able to afford that, good players cost good money. And it would prove to be a bargain IMO, a classy DM that has proven he can handle the premiership. If we buy Barton then that tells me we're going to settle for mid table again, he's a nothing player. If HE was Portuguese we would never have heard of him.

Against Coventry in the FA Cup, he was actually quite good iirc.

Yea Andrade is fuckin awesome but i doubt very much he'd come here and Depo were askin for something like £15m for him £8m is what i've heard, and Barca are the only club that have been linked as far as i know, so if they don't get him then we could - considering how desperate he apparently is to leave Depor(i repeat, they are bloody awful). 8m for a 29 year old? Wouldn't take the risk, get Ben Haim (free) and Hyppia/Campbell (cheap) instead. Those 8m would be better spent on a left back and tightening our midfield. He's a top 15 CB in the world IMO, genuine class. If we got him, Ben Haim, Viduka, and a left back(for 4-5m) i would be a happy boy.

I think it will be Ben Haim/Taylor, which i would be happy with. I'm disappointed that we're not being linked to Andrade though, the guys been wanting to leave Deportivo(christ they're bad these days, unbelievable) for a while now and it looks like Barca probably won't be making a bid. A Portuguese chap i know reckons he would be interested. It's a shame because he would be the perfect signing. :'(

Weren't they all penalties? Seriously, he's finished, Sibierski is better these days.

I know he's signed for Real Betis.

My point exactly, thank you. Ricardo Gardner, yes. Ben Haim, yes. Nicky Hunt? Fuck off!

Atleast read the article FFS, it's a piss-take. Hunt is their version of Bramble and they want rid. He's a championship standard player. "I`ve been a bit down since Sam left, but this has cheered me up," said one before pulling his shirt over his head and sprinting around the car park. In addition, a disturbing number of office workers have been reported doing a Mexican wave. Allardyce wants to complete the transfer as soon as possible, but will delay for a fortnight as Bolton Council have requested the additional time to organise street parties."

Because Paul Le Guen is a bad manager? He's saving PSG's arse as we speak. You shouldn't judge a manager on 1 failure.

Carr and Hunt are equally shite. Taylor is better than Meite, he's not a good player. Gardner is better than Duff. Parker is better than Nolan, who is basically just a tramps Lampard.

Won f*** all with England like. He's too similar to Roeder in the wet fish stakes for my liking and he's bound to stick rigidly to his favourite's like he did for England. Bring in the other Fat Man please. He's got a great win ratio with England. He did amazingly well considering the players don't give a shit and are only in the squad for the status.

Sven, he is a proven winner. Although i would still be over the moon with Allardyce.

"Sack the board"?! Who exactly is going to "sack the board" Stupid chant, "Roeder out" is atleast realistic.

Tevez ofcourse, if you replaced Davies with an good experianced defender then i might have a choice to make. Taylor needs a better player to learn from, not Curtis bloody Davies.
