That could be it, hes had months to push through a move to Villa, could be a bigger club have made it known they want him.

Still very young but seems unable to move forward, quality for the u21s and did well last night v a championship team, but in the premiership hes not great, just hope we play the same game as villa when it comes to a price. 9-10m would be crazy money for him.

Seems the box office have made a cock up, ive had all 25000 deliverd to me this morning, il leave them in a bag outside the clubshop on sat for everyone to collect

Its just the Sun trying to put a negative spin on him signing a new contract, where would the fun be for them in reporting he has signed a 4 year 60-70k per week contract??? Its reported as 140k to make us look silly, and wind our fans up, and looking at this thread quite a few have took the bait.

Have to agree the pre-match interview was class, before Keegan came on, Dublin,Redknapp were in the studio saying we looked weak and had no chance all doom and gloom, after Keegan had been interviewed even they were saying maybe we could nick something etc..

you can get about evens on us just to score a goal today, Smith is 10-1 to score anytime in the 90mins, id want better odds than that for him to score anytime this season.

i've built up £200 on betfair since april on nowt. (bet £25, got their £25..took my £25 out) i was on ladbrokes and blue sq previously and always took money out now and again (christmas,season ticket time etc) but i'm going to see how far i can go this time. Bad start yesterday, didnt get home in time to put the crew carlisle bet on so only about 15 down thanks to the Arsenal clean sheet!! Today iam going for £40 on under 2.5 goals Chelsea v Pompy @ 1.8 £10 on Villa 2 - 1 Man city @9.4 £10 on Man u 3 - 0 us @9.4

Managed to get £400 built up in my betfair during euro 2008 from a £50 deposit so have left that in there for the premirship season see what we can do, 3 bets today Back Everton £30 @2.08 Back Arsenal clean sheet v west brom £50 @1.8 Back over 2.5 goals Sunderland v Liverpool £20.00 @2.28 if the Arsenal bet wins at lunchtime might put £20 on Crewe to beat carlisle at 5.7

I know its a sunday, but 4pm being to early for him is a joke - get this transfer cancelled

I really didnt think it was possible for me to hate him more...

New stadium..?

where is Dr Spectrum these days?? used to post alot??

attacking resources could be weakened?? surely the stats show we score more and attacking play is better when hes not on the pitch!

Not a bad game, Gutierrez reminds me alot of Bellamy...

is the PSV game working?? or is it just me its not for

To be fair if man utd refunded us 4.5m and he halfed his wages id keep him as a bench warmer next season with it being 3 from 7 subs..

Do you not remember the last two months of the season? We were beating the likes of Juventus last preseason look where that got us.

Good to see Martins is back with the squad though

Sunderland fans singing at Forest " Bring on the geordies " fucks sake they sign a load of rejects from a bottom half premiership team and think they are set to take on the world

Gutted for him, very sad news.

Yeah i wish Shepherd was still in charge, we would have a price freeze on season tickets, yes we may have been in the championship and in administration but the saving of 60 odd quid on a ST would have been well worth that... Ashley has done nothing but good for this club and if he was to sell up today he will have left us in a much stronger position off the field, he simply has not had a realistic amount of time to change things on the pitch dramatically.

no doubt there waiting until every ones bought train tickets etc before deciding to change the kick off.

Err, no he wasn´t, not really anyway.. He mainly had to fund his acquisitions by selling players. Net spend so far on the playing staff (transfer fees) over a one year period has been well under 10 million, which is quite low considering what clubs around us have spent.. Mike Ashleys paid off 50-100m in debt off think its quite fair of him to not hand out endless amounts on signings too, at least for a couple of seasons anyways

Iam impressed how many different variations of storeys they can come up with from Ashley to sell the club,Martins to Arsenal, Keegan unhappy with wise.

Why did the club insider not report this back to the papers sooner?
