Another point is the whole takeover thing, i don't think Allardyce will be getting any money simply because we still don't know who the fuck owns this club at the moment, So where will the money come from? If Mike Ashley and Freddy Shepherd drag to takeover battle to the start of the season that will mean that Allardyce will be forced to buy Unattached/Free players only, or just buy with a very limited budget.

Watch the action on transfer deadline day. We are a club more guilty than most signing players at about 23:59 on 31/08, is that good planning? I guess thats down to the fact that the player(s) we sign at that time have lost any hope of moving to a better club

They weren't, but wouldnt it be better if he had kept them as back-up, incase he fails to get the targets he wants or incase we go in our annual injurey crisis with him Again though, last season they were all back-up (bar Parker), and none of them were good enough even as back-up, so what's the point in keeping them? Not being forced to use players who are worst? Actually i kinda agree with your point, i am not talking about the players he released (bar Bramble the rest were all hopeless), i am talking about the fact that he is set to sell Parker, Luque and maybe two other players, that means he will have to buy more, wich means we will have to get more new players who all need time to adapt to the team/city/ etc..wich might cause our team to start on the wrong foot come to start of next season and it might get to the point where its really hard to fix. Then again, i am just being a little bit Impatient with Sam Allardyce, after hearing that c*** Glenn Roeder going on and on about how "he is about to buy the players he want" and how he's closing in on his targets just so we end up with Bernard two days AFTER the transfer window has ended. So i am guessing we'll just have to wait and see where will he take us, but the whole idea of him starting to sell players before buying anyone is a bit stupid tbh.

They weren't, but wouldnt it be better if he had kept them as back-up, incase he fails to get the targets he wants or incase we go in our annual injurey crisis with him, i am not saying he shouldve kept ALL of them but just the likes of Bramble wouldve improved under him and turned to a good back up for our first team, not that getting rid of Bramble was the wrong decsion but at the moment it seemed he (Allardyce) had everything worked out about who is going out and who is coming in, the only thing he didnt count was the Takeover battle and how it will effect his budget and preperation for next season.

Its not that, its the fact that the whole "Takeover" thing might effect his budget, the more time Freddy and Ashley drag this on the less time he will have to buy the players he want, also real life is not FM, you don't buy a player overnight and he will definetly need time and money to buy new players, i don't think he will get all the targets he want and we might see Carr or Babayaro (hell even Ramage) in the starting 11 come the first game of the season and that is never good.

At the moment, those are the players in our squad GK : Given, Harper, Krul. Defenders : Carr, Babayaro, Ramage, Taylor, Huntington, Edgar Midfield : Solano, N'Zogbia, Milner, Parker, Butt, Emre, Luque, Pattison, Duff, O'Brien, Dyer Strikers/Forwards: Owen, Martins, Ameobi, Carroll. *Players in italic are fringe/reserves team players. *Players in Bold might be set to leave. We seriously need backing up, to start off Carr and Babayaro have both proved to be sub-standerd and not worthy enough of a first team place..same goes for Ramage that leaves us with Taylor as our only decent defenders.. In the midfield we used to have a fantastic midfield, on can rotate between Milner and Dyer on the right, N'Zogbia and Duff on the left, and Emre,Butt and Parker in the center. but now with Parker leaving Sam Allardyce must make sure we get Barton, or anyone half decent to cover up for our skipper. In the striking front, we have two pacey, decent strikers in Owen and Martins but what we really need is a target man/goal getter type of striker, Viduka will do a good job at the moment, Ameobi is pretty average imo, he can do a good job as a back-up/4th striker. To sum up, we need a DL, DR, two DCs, a DMC (if parker leaves), and a striker. Also, we need to back-up our team, we can't keep playing the likes of Pattison whenever we go in one of our injurey "crisis" But at the moment all i am hearing is that we are going to sell this player and going to sell another, Emre to Bayern, Luque to PSV, Parker to West Ham, Owen to any random big club that will come for him, Martins to Valencia, etc.. And not to count the fact that most new players, forgien ones espically will need time to adapt to the premiership. at the moment we have the thinest squad possible, and its about to get thinner. Can't understand why Allardyce wants to sell players, i thought that "Everyone has a new start" here. I am not saying anything new here, its just a fact that he better start signing players soon otherwise we are f*****.

A Roeder/Souness partnership for City next season, nailed on..

Are Dinosaurs necessary?

Quick! , offer them Babayaro and Carr!!

I didnt see any offical source confirming him going to PSV. Anyway..Greedy Bastard.

Please detail previous experience that makes you suitable for this job 2000-2007 First Aid at Billy Smart's circus Responsible for patching up injured clowns and sending them back into the ring. Due to small numbers of clowns, role often required being responsive to needs of the circus and ensuring that injured or diabled clowns were rushed back as soon as possible. Actually i think thats what Derek Wright is doing at the moment

We should've kept Bramble and then sold him for 5 millions. A.J might be worth something like 7, 8m but 13 is just too much.

So it wasn't all bad was it?

They left out Nesta, Roberto Carlos from that list.

Fantastic, if true. But it seems nearly impossible for that to happen

Norway? Its the same here in the Middle East, Liverpool replace the Carlsberg logo in their shirt with "Liverpool" .

Saw him in one game, thats it Pretty average imo, can be a good reserves player.

Got a time machine then? Nah, but i got Sam Allardyce, same effect.

I rather have the Parker of the souness era than Barton tbh..

What?! NO! I like Steffen Iversen, but he'll never be a Premiership player again. You have no idea how much faith Rosenborg have put into him when he's been off form; he's been allowed to play himself into form instead of doing his job in training. He's good for Rosenborg (and, to a degree, for Norway), but that's because he's treated as someone special. In England, he was perpetually injured. After what he did with Spuds just the thought of him back here seems like a bad idea, but i really like his recent peformence, he got everything a target man needs and will fit great in a Sam Allardayce team, but i never knew why did he turned from shit to good but if he keeps playing like that its only a matter of time that a club from the top 3 leagues buy him.

He has another nationalty, he's from Monteserat (or something like that) and they are ranked somewhere between the last 10 nations in the Fifa world ranking.. They are crossing their fingers hoping he dosn't decide to play for them

Norway 4-0 Malta We should really take a look at (the new and improved) Stefen Iversen, was in the golden boot list this season and he scored today, turned himself from an average player to the perfect target man, still 30 and we can get him for cheap.

Italy 2-1 Faroe island They scrapped through thanks to two Inzaghi goals..typical Italy

Those countrys are too safe tbh.. they rarley see any violence, still no excuse for poor security Cracking stuff though. Anyone remember that topless lativian woman that ran into the pitch about two years ago when Lativa played Portegual?
