Real Madrid normally overpay, Spurs normally get astronomical fees.......and this is only £23.5m?? Wow.

I love managing them on FM. Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Fellaini, Defour, Witsel, Mirallas, Hazard, Lukaku, Mertens, De Bruyne, Dembele etc.

Saha and Fletcher: Dream Team.

I'd have said Kagawa was fairly nailed on but if they get Van Persie his team could be anything. That's why I'm waiting a couple of weeks.

Shame, I thought he might have eventually made a comeback. But this is the right decision. As long as he's alive

With 8 B-teams there'll be 56 B-derbies, which means an average of over 1 per week. Numbers

This place has been vurnon on insanity lately, anita let this all sink in.

But the day of 9-1 gave them a +8 GD.

Raiola is a dick, though, so he's someone to be concerned about. Even though we'll probably convince Anita to join, both sides are stubborn in negotiations so even if a compromise is reached, it won't be soon.

It's getting silly now. Any small financial saving made by letting this drag are negated by the benefits of a full pre-season. Whether its 5 or 6 million, we'll have robbed them either way.

We're not paying that fee just to play him in his secondary position. He's a midfielder.

Johnson seems a bit off to me. Good player but if he has attitude problems then I don't want him here.

To cancel the early pages of the original thread, I'm going to be super-positive about Pards. Credit to him, he has turned it all round. As part of a winning structure, he is the focal point of our revival and deservedly won Manager of the Season. The players seem to love him, he's a master of the media and is a pleasure to listen to. I also like the backroom staff he's brought in, instilling a Geordie influence on our dressing room. I've not always agreed with his tactics and decisions but you can't argue with 5th place. Absolutely brilliant. .....and a lothario with the ladies

WWE Armageddon Theme-The End

Who gets the honour of starting it?

Yeah if it gets to deadline day and we've got nobody, I'd be fine with Klasnic. Better than nothing but he's also better than the Kuqi, Lovenkrands, Xisco and Ranger of recent years.

Q. What aftershave do you use? A I don't get it! I had someone ask me that at Wimbledon. And I'm not going to tell you!!!!!! Brilliant

Nearly on page 1000! Make these last posts count.

I've thought too much about my team now, it keeps changing. If Van Persie goes to Man Utd, I'm not putting Rooney in. If Dempsey stays or Adebayor joins Spurs, I'll consider it. Dunno whether to go for a heavy hitting midfield or forward line. AAARRRGGGHHH!!

How do they work then? The theory is that he doesn't actually need them, he just wears them for the frames. Lady trap. Surely they would be without lenses, without frames wouldn't really work Pards defies logic, I'm just saying what I saw.

He is one of us, to be fair. But they're just in denial Anita would be a better left back than Ward.

As long as Pards brings his frameless glasses, it's in the bag.

Almost £30m on Fletcher, McGeady and Ward? Holy shit, even Liverpool would hesitate
