Jamie

Does anyone know whether there is a cup this year ? Where everyone who has entered a team faces someone and it's like a knokout competition from a gameweek ?

Sorry Jamie, my mistake, I thought we were talking about Bentley. We are talking about Bentley aren't we? I can see why Wenger would want Pederson for 8m but what does that have to do with Bentley? Because i thaught you were on about my quote about Pederson going back to the Arse,not Bentley

Get it up at SJP

No chane on £5m. More like £15m. No way in hell Hughes will sell like. I would of said 10m and why would Hughes? It was more in reference to another thread. Look at his first choice attacking players, McCartney, Santa Cruz, Pederson and Bentley - I'd have them at toon if we could. Bentley is a winger as is Pederson. Mc Carthy and Sant Cruz are first choice with Roberts and Derbyshire as backup. Bentley is on the verge of an england call up and there is no way in hell he will be sold. I reckon a £15m bid wouldn't shift him. Blackburn are hardly poor either. Yeah, we know Pederson and Bentley are wingers > attacking wingers and although you wouldn't compare them to Robert for laziness when defending, you wouldn't have them in the team for their defensive abilities. Jamie, when you inserted your little Arsenal info, why do you do it so it looked like it was part of the quote? And in reference to it, why would Wenger buy him back at 8m when he sold him for 1m three seasons ago? That's not Wenger's style at all. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is prepared to pay up to £8m for Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen. (Mirror) Blackburn are planning contract talks with Morten Gamst Pedersen - to ward off interest from Arsenal. (Sun) Who knows

The way to do it is you start setting up a poll and, and this is the really important bit, not be a spacka whilst you're doing it Funny. I know what i've done wrong,it just won't let me change it without deleting the thread.

Well someone tell me how to change it then

No chane on £5m. More like £15m. No way in hell Hughes will sell like. Well i know they rejected an offer of 8m from Arsenal,so go from there I would of said 10m and why would Hughes? It was more in reference to another thread. Look at his first choice attacking players, McCartney, Santa Cruz, Pederson and Bentley - I'd have them at toon if we could. Bentley is a winger as is Pederson. Mc Carthy and Sant Cruz are first choice with Roberts and Derbyshire as backup. Bentley is on the verge of an england call up and there is no way in hell he will be sold. I reckon a £15m bid wouldn't shift him. Blackburn are hardly poor either.

Not sure how to just let people choose one Unless you can help ?

Cast your votes please Personally i'd rather have Milner

and Bentley. I'd take Milner over Bentley any day Joker Honestly

Play your wilcard pal I've played mine already,had a shocking team. Im now chuffed with: Milner Fabregas Bentley Malouda Arteta Van Persie Martins

and Bentley. I'd take Milner over Bentley any day

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! What is it with this simple concept? I walk into a shop and I see the new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club CD, I really like BRMC so I decide that I wouldn't mind buying it. It has a price label, a Recommended Price Label, now to me it is valuable because I really want it but to Alex, hi Alex - no leave that CD it's mine! To Alex, it's not valuable because he really likes 80's happy house (poof) but he decides that maybe he'd buy it in the hope his music taste improves or just incase next time he's stoned he'd rather listen to a bit of stoner rock, anyway he walks up the sales person with it because while I've been explaining to you how this works the bastid has grabbed my CD. So I follow and just as the person behind the counter is about to charge him for it I offer 5 quid more. Now the sales person being the honest type goes no he got here first and the price is only 13m but I argue, "no it's worth more to me than him, at which point the sales person is starting to laugh at me because, yes why? Because the price tag is only 13m, not 13m and 5 quid. So Alex the bastid, walks off with my CD and no matter what I feel it is worth, the price tag only said 13m! Truth of the matter is the bitch behind the counter had another one but it was stock for the sale next week and it was marked down to 6m but only if I bought it in January. I wasn't happy when she tried to sell me the broke cased P. diddy CD, I hate all that bling sh!t. We all know Martins real market value so i just think should give in to him now

So a club would be nuts to pay 10m for Davies ? Taylor is miles better. I'm not saying Taylor is worth 15m but if West Brom rate him at 10m,and he's only a Championship player remember we should be rating Taylor at 15m if anyone gets me

Piss on contract Martins is worth more MARKET VALUE Clause or no clause

No. i thaught it had run out

True. I'm normally in my seat for about 2:59 on a saturday afternoon. Or 5:14 in this case Will have to get the old man out the pub earlier eh

I was going to try and let that down to one of you lot, i feel pretty clueless about Owen tbh

Bit bored,so i thaught that i could come up with what the current value of some of our 1st team squad players. Note : This is what they should be worth compared to other transfers this summer and not exactly what we would get for them. Shay Given - Shay is now 31,and with not many keepers moving around lately,i can only compare him with Gordon. Signed for the mackems at the age of 24 for 9m.With Given being 7 year older than him,but being a much better quality keeper and plenty experience,i would value him about 5.5m. Harper - About 1m Stephen Carr - 30 ? With Luke Young going to Boro for 2.5m at the age of 28,i value stephen Carr at about 2m.Considering that Young would be worth more if he had've come from a premiership club. Steven Taylor - At the age of 21,Taylor is probably one of the many players in our team that could be worth a lot of money one day,and with West Brom valuing Curtis Davies at 10m,with hardly any Premiership experience or playing against anyone decent week in week out.So i would value Taylor at 15m. David Rozenhal - 26 ? Has no Premirship experience yet but looks to be a good buy at 2.8m,but i'd still value him at that price until the next transfer window finishes Babayaro - With Babayro at 29,i have seen Leighton Baines switch from Wigan to Everton for 5m ? With him only being a young lad,and a big potential ahead of him,i would rate babayaro at 1.5m Nobby Solano - At 33 now Nobby isn't really worth a lot,but still one cracking player.Can still cut it in the Premiership so i'd value him at 2m. Geremi - Ariving on a free,very good business,Geremi could still be worth a few quid at the minute at 29.The versitile player can player anywhere in Midfield and across the backline and still look steady.His best position,i believe is in the holding role,and with not many quality DM players around these days,except from maybe Makelele,i would value Geremi at about 5m Emre - At 27 ? Emre is still should be at his peak of career,with Parker going to West Ham for 8m and him not being much younger than Emre i'd value him at about 5m,going with his injury record. Obafemi Martins - At 22,Martins is one of the most exciting talents around,with a brilliant eye for goal.Seeng Darrent Bent move to Spurs for crazy money at 23,Martins could be worth up to at least 20m with his Champions league experince already,i can see him being a great asset for this club for years to come. Charles N'Zogbia - At 21,Charlie is a great one for the present and future.Kieran RIchardson went to the Unwashed for 5.5m being 2 years older than the Frenchman,so i would Value him at 7m. Any others feel free to add to my list. And remember ! This is what they should be worth as i'm sure some of you will disagree with what i have to say. Thank you for those who took time to read this

Glad someone has brought this thread back into life

Surely we won't get beat off Barnsley though Kev,it might be the cup but if we get beat off Barnsley at home theres something wrong. Won't be going anyway, i'm on holiday everytime the 2nd round is on so i'm taking it that it will be the same again. Remember watching Man city get beat off Doncaster last year or the year before in Cyprus

Anyone know the rest of the draw ? Can't find it official anywhere Northampton will be gutted,they would probably get a bigger crowd at their place than they will at the Riverside

Hope they're ready for a right tousing

ANY OTHER TIES YOU KNOW OF ?
