Once again the Fulham-Zogs link comes up again. Even if we were to get Diop as part of the deal, I still want well clear.

That is such a very good point that. Lets wait for the usual suspects to come in with but, but, but.

No. At the end of the day, players are going to want to get paid as much as they can, and if he said pay me that or I'm leaving, we should've let him leave. The Chairman/Manager cannot get held to ransom by a player.

I do hope thats sarcasm, for your sake.

That'll be flung at him about 1000 times. I'm sure he'll have a response written up to that one.

If the reports are right though, we've knocked back two offers. West ham offered 5m (which I thought was what we were asking???) Tottenham offered Didier Zokora. Pretty good thread mate, but he wants to go to deal with family issues.

Oh god. I thought I'd heard it all, but then I saw this. What was first? We were going to buy Ronaldinho weren't we?

Just read on the sportinglife live transfer clockwatch thing this: It better not be true

Yep, lets make Owen play in this one hey, even if he's not fully fit. Heck, why don't we just break his leg for him? Huntington is the favourite to start at left back against Bolton, so that is definitely one area that needs strengthening.

He's ahead of Forster, but behind Given and Harper. The way I see it, he isn't going to play a whole lot this season, and he needs some match practice. I totally believe that we need to loan him out this year, to stop him from stagnating as a footballer.

For fucks sake. A) We don't need stikers B) He wasn't keen on a move to Newcastle C) We don't need strikers D) He's currently injured E) We don't need strikers. Did i mention we don't need strikers?

No, we don't NEED him, but I wouldn't get rid of him. Our injury history is the worst ever, therefore the more players the better. And plus, he's a quality finisher who will score 20+ goals for us this season if he stays fit.

Here here. It really annoys me when people go over the top because we're not spending money. If we still get quality players, but don't spend money, why do people care?

It's nice of Buffon to say those things, he didnt have to. Good for the young lads confidence. Good to see Oba helping too.

"He's so good, that France have tried to get him registered to play for them" Sounds good. Its good that he played with Rozehnal too, will create a good understanding at the back, and will help them both settle in well.

We look soooooo much better. I'm really excited about this season.

Any news on Luque? How bad is his injury?

Another goal.

Woot Luque

So Dyer is in the squad?

Thats exactly the same attitude thats got us into the current mess that we're in. Lets go out and sign a completely unsuitable left back just cos we can eh? But Allardyce has said there that he can't even find a suitable one. F*cking hell man, that's worrying isn't it? Aye it is a bit, most left backs are attacking nowadays, the most defense minded one I can think of off the top of my head is Nicky Shorey He's pretty offensive. Yep, thats my point exactly

Faye - Good back-up, but I'm under the impression we're after a bit more than back-up atm? Diop - Is class, would take him.
