Norwegian-Geordie

Of course he is better, I didnt compare the players either. I wrote that with him most people thought he was a fantastic signing at once when we bought him. I think it is a bit of the same in this situation. No one has heard of him or seen him play more than once or twice, but yet everyone is sure that he is a major player.

BBC say he was in the France XI and they are pretty reliable He wasnt even there... This is the French team of the season XI: Richert (Sochaux) Sagna (Auxerre) - Cris (Lyon) - Hilton (Lens) - Abidal (Lyon) Se.Keita (Lens) - Nasri (Marseille) - F.Malouda (Lyon) A.Keita (Lille) - Elmander (Toulouse) - Savidan (Valenciennes) No Rozenhal there. Reminds me slightly of Onyewu. We signed him, and all of a sudden people thought he was a major player. But lets hope Rozenhal is a major player.

I thought it was allowed to have feeder clubs. Don't Chelsea have Westerloo (or some Belgian club), and ManU Sporting and Antwerpen (or is it Anderlecht?)?

Most of Juventus' player have probably never even heard about Sunderland. They are used to lose against teams with black and white stripes, so this will be easy for Juventus (as if it wasn't in the beginning).

Holy fuck! Its the Mackems! Send someone to gun down Roy Keane asap before he goes into hiding! Now it is war. But luckily we have Barton on our side. A shame we sold Bowyer though. Wonder what Barton would have done if they shot at him?

Doesen't really say much about wether he is good enough for NUFC tbh.

I thought that to. Babel would be a major signing. But I doubt we get him if Arsenal wants him. Maybe Spurs as well.

If Arsenal gets him, then maybe we could get Eboue from them? A diving cunt, but still a very good player.

Because it is Sunday today? Just a guess, but it would seem logical to wait on a working-day.

Materazzi is not very good in computer games though. At least not FM... And do you think Italy would have won the WC with a shit-player in the defence? Materazzi is a very very good defender.

Maybe we could trade him for Dyer + some £mill?

He'd be mint as a striker in 4-3-3 IMO: Martins - Viduka - SWP If Owen goes that is.

From the Taylor to Fiorentina-text: “If it’s up to him, Andrea would go to Fiorentina without a moment’s hesitation.” If he'd go to Fiorentina, then surely he'd go to us? Fiorentina isnt a much better team either are they? Would love an italian player in the team, preferrably a centre-back. I always have. Dont know why though .

never heard of him Argentinian international. 26 caps. Very good player who has fallen out with his current club (deportivo) and is probably going to get sold this summer. We tried to get him this winter, but we wouldnt give more than 1,5 I think it was... He is a defender though, not a defensive midfielder. We could raid Depor for him, Duscher and Andrade. That would be quality! A kind of Heinze guy. ''Mad'' player who gives 100% every time, fans of other clubs hates him, and fans of his club love him because of his tough style. Would have to do something about his hair though: http://www.pilkanozna.pl/fotki/2006/ms2006/zawodnicy/argentyna/coloccini_g_280x210.jpg And it was actually worse last time I saw him.

Next year.

Thiago Motta from Barca?

How much would it cost to buy Diarra from Chelsea do you recon? I am not so keen on loaning him.

And this guy is?... I would love Toure to come! How much do people think West Hams Scott Parker would cost? Major defensive midfielder. Would fit perfectly in the club as well.

I think he read some jouranalist that described him as ''laughing-stock''. Might be something in it and have snything with the price to do? But why would a ''laughing-stock'' become PSGs player of the year? Might be a Bramble that has started to perform. Only me speculating about something I know nothing about, no facts!

Very off-topic, but what do you Englishmen think about him, wasnt he linked to the England or Tottenham job a couple of years ago? Do you hear anything from him in England and how do you rate him? He was manager for the club in my home-city two years ago. I don't agree in most of the teams/bands.

Colloccini would be good, I agree there. But Diego is more a La Liga or Serie A-player than a PL-player IMO. I think Mancini is too. But lets hope I am wrong if they come to us, and right if they go to someone else! I know I would be happy if they came, but I was happy when Luque came as well. (not that I am comparing him with these two).

No way Colloccini would cost 6mill. We tried to sign him in January for 1,5 (at least aproxomatly), but Deportivo wanted 2,7mill (aproxomatly I think ) and Freddy didnt want to give them that. He har fallen out with the manager in Deportivo and been shite the last year. But still, I think he can become quality again eith a manager who doesent hold any grudges against him or he doesent hold any grudges against. To be hounest with you I seriously doubt Mancini and Diego would come to us. Both are playing for better clubs and can probably move to many better clubs if they were to be sold. Plus I think both would have been shite in Premier League. Mancini fits better in Italy or Spain and Diego is not a normal CM. More a very very offencive midfielder. But still, they are great players that unfortunately probably won't play for us in the nearest future.

Colloccini. I belive he can become good again. And then I'd try to get Saviola (worth a try) Mertesacker, Baines/Bridge, Zaccardo and maybe Heitinga if Zaccardo wouldnt come. Maybe Dario Dainelli as well, but then, maybe we'd get a luxury-problem with too many good defenders

Think I read that West Ham were gonna try to get Johnson and Arteta from Everton for 30mill£!! I think it was in BBCs gossip. That is the same as one Schevchenko would cost! Would love Arteta to play for us, but I am afraid he is far too expensive... Didn't know WH had that kind of money. But while we are talking about midfields: Saviola Zoggo Milner Yaya Toure Maybe Saviola is unrealistic, but I think he would be mint! Use him in the same role as for Argentina in the World Cup behind the strikers.

There was this 15 year old bloke here in Norway who applied for a job in Aalesund FK... Said he was a major manager, had won Champions League, Premier League and everything else on FM. Saw him on the news when he had applied, he was dead serious as well.
