I could easily see Spurs bidding for RvN, although the rest seem like hogwash.

I get the feeling that Dave would be having a cut price Homer-and-Marge style wedding in a casino somewhere if he stumped up for the fixture rights, put it that way.

Should change the thread title to "FAO Yorkie"

Neither have I, who the fuck is he? You doing your best Kinnear impression again? It's Jermaine Beckford man. [/pedant]

This isn't FM you know. Anyway, our "reserve" squad is youth players anyway, and even when we have an 11 strong bench it involves youth players.

They said that the data room wouldn't be ready until Wednesday (NOT that they're just waiting till then, apparently) and it's a new idea, designed to speed the process up.

David Craig just been on SSN saying that Shearer likely to be announced late this week or early next week - once bidder has proved they can raise the £100m, they get access to the data room (online books, due diligence etc - designed to speed up the process) and apparently Seymour Pierce are saying they will ask the buyers after they've had a look at the books online whether they want Shearer in or not - and then will discuss that with Llambias and Shearer. If it's true, good news. At least Pierce seem to be doing their best to speed this up - good to wait a few extra days if it means a sale is sped up by a few extra weeks.

Selling an 8-12 goal a season Premiership striker for £7m, and replacing him with a 20-25 goal a season Championship striker for less than half of that isn't the worst idea in the world tbh. How many 20-25 goal a season Championship strikers have even managed to get 12 goals a season in the Premiership? Chopra. oh, hang on...

This, and yet whenever I say that I'm told that he's class for Italy he is a donkey

Didn't even hear the sarcophagus open.

Aye, cp40 is right... chill out, be continental.

And we'd lose the lot.

Owen wouldn't stay in the Championship. There's more chance of him turning up at Real Oviedo ala Collymore.

Charismatic? I've seen more charisma come out of Al Gore's arse.

"Although, this year's fixture list was thrown into disrepute, as despite their relegation from that top division, Newcastle still managed to be drawn away to fucking Wigan on Boxing Day, and this fixture was the only one to have a score printed next to it: 1-0 (R. Taylor o.g.)"

They've just stopped off for a bacon and egg stottie and a coffee.

You must be loving that Dave, nows your chance to become ULTIMATE RESERVE WATCHER as all of those aren't far from your neck of the woods. EDIT: Well, some are. I saw Leeds, Bradford and Rotherham and assumed all of them would be.

Christ, where's indi when you need him? He made an excellent post last week detailing exactly why we will not be going into administration. I'm bored of hearing the word.

Still a few short.

Bristol City I do believe, Jon. I think, anyway.

He's English, should be able to fetch at least fourteen times that amount

You are a jizz-cock.

That defender. Oh dear!
