huh? my point is, will our team be stronger or weaker ? would you rather we didnt sell carrol and didnt buy anyone? or sell carrol and replace with Cabaye, Ba, Erdinc, Taylot, and a few others? Most of which could also increase in value
Would you rather have 1 Carrol?
or
0 Carrol and 1 Cabaye, 1 Ba, 1 Erdinc and 1 Taylor ? Im sure the money will go a longer way than just that btw, but you get my point
why doesnt a reporter leak who it is? what benefit do they have in keeping it a secret, unless they dont know a thing either?
paper selling ploy? "big news tomorrow", tomorrow comes "big striker coming this week", this week comes "change of events in striker bid coming tomorrow",
rinse
repeat
1) Nolan is not the type of player we need to build the team around
2) Nolan is important in the short term
3) Nolan has 2 years left on his contract
(what to do, what to do? )
Im really impressed that :
a) we knew of him and his contract situation
b) we sold newcatle above other clubs in CL
c) we closed the deal
for a french international with great quality.
whomever was involved, top to bottom, deserves some credit
oh boy, poll on home page of teamtalk.com

What struck me as really funny were these quotes:
".....The Catalan giants will begin staging coaching classes for 300 hopefuls between the ages of six and 16......."
and then
".....The school, which is less than two miles from Chelsea's training ground, is attended by the children of Didier Drogba and Yossi Benayoun......"
Wow. they sure do get around those 2 to have 300 kids between them
