The US and UK ofcourse murder people abroad, but what relevance does this have? Is George Bush taking over a premiership club? What is a trial? It's where all the evidence is laid out in a public forum and a jury decides whether that person is guilty. The judge is there to make sure it is fair. Morality is subjective up to a point, but i think most people here would agree that it is wrong to go out and execute everyone that has a bit of weed on them without trial. Shinawatra did well for Thailand in the same way Hitler did for Germany, he cut down on crime aswell, plus he got everyone jobs.. apart from the people who got killed ofcourse, but hey who is to say he was morally wrong there, totally subjective innit.

This is a very foolish statement. I have businesses in Thailand and my feedback/feel is that he was a very good prime minister, steering the economy to one of its best runs in recent history. The foreigners including myself have a lot of confidence in him when the country is under his stewardship. After he was forced out by the military coup, i pulled out my investments as many of the foreigners did. I remembered i was in a taxi on the way to the airport, the thai taxi driver was lamenting that he was forced out, interestingly, he said he knows that there is some kind of corruption in terms of benefiting his family but he does not care if the country is growing strongly. He gathers a lot of support from the poor while the middle-high income are not happy with him cos he favours the poor, distributing wealth from the rich to the poor in his many policies. In any case, he is a very smart man and am sure if he wants the Ron and pay him loads, he has his sums. His record of business is almost 100%, a record of successes. Really? Well that's very interesting, but my feedback/feel is that he murdered thousands of people without trial.

He's a shrewd businessman but he can't get away with what he did in Thailand over here. In Thailand he would just eliminate the competition and threaten Ronaldinho with death if he didn't join.

Ronaldinho to City would be potentially the best move in history, but also potentially the biggest disaster. What if he continues his lazy party lifestyle, City would be left pissing away 200k a week.

It appears Shorey may have been a 1 season wonder, he's been less than impressive this past season. He only ended up with a high number of assists because he takes all the corners, a bit like Milner when he was at Villa.

A swap would just be replacing one problem with another. If we want Zigic we can get him without sacrificing Jose. Financially it wouldn't make sense either as we would still have to buy another left back.

Crouch is just a Zigic imitation.

Exactly he has the potential to be 10x times the player our "next big thing" Zoggy can be. I like him cos he seem to have the natural ability to score goals, am sure he has at least 7 goals this season as a sub. I would disagree, Dos Santos is a bit like Freddy Adu to me, his reputation comes from being a "wonderkid" about 3 years ago.

Hey, you're right! Only we do need another forward I remember when we signed him, i said he was crap and it was a waste of money in the main thread, someone told me my comments were disgusting. Humble pie all over their face!

Hey, you're right!

He has got some talent to be fair, he wouldn't be THAT bad. He's not the player he was, he's had his time, why should we be the club to give him one last big pay day. We've been mugs before to too many other players. I know, i'm just saying he won't be as bad as Smith. Even if he has 1 leg he would be better than Smith.

He has got some talent to be fair, he wouldn't be THAT bad.

Should we give a toss about Dos Santos? Barca fans think he's lazy, weak, and over hyped.

No quotes = Bullshit. I don't really want him anyway.

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.
