The best thing about Toulalan is that his name has 'ooh la la' in it.

Do Ligue 1 viewers rate Abdennour of Toulouse? I like the look of him and our scouts obviously watch French football. Might be pricey though.

Part of me expects us to randomly sign Douglas one day but - whilst it'd be nice to have another CB - we have three already. That isn't much but we survived half a season with only two of them and I'm starting to believe a CM will be more important right now.

Yeah, we'll see about that...

Isco, so we have the Isco-Xisco disco.

That'll be on RTG within the hour and the 'bitter' taunts will come out. Surely deep down - deep, deep, deep down - they know this is exactly whats happening. Nice one, brummie

The sky isnt falling - we've sold no-one and will still end up buying two or three. Patience.

Man Utd don't need him, like. Dunno why he hasn't gone for a CM.

People can be ruthless around here Having said that, it was an attention seeking comment that even he doesnt believe. Nobody does.

Nah i reckon we've got one final bid in us. Get Debuchy to cause a ruckus and that might be enough.

And Marveaux, Raylor, Shola...

My team keeps changing and it depends on where Dempsey, Debuchy, Adebayor and Allen end up. Also, whether Dawson or Tevez play. Currently: De Gea Green A Cole Lescott Tomkins Gunter A Williams Mata Kagawa Cabaye Noble Michu Aguero Torres Pogrebnyak

Mick Foley said in his books that it's much better to build someone up before delivering that crushing insult. Much more effective than constant insults. So maybe the technique is to be all "Lee, Lee, don't listen to the trolls. You're a great reporter", "I really enjoyed your exclusive last Wednesday" and "I'm surprised the nationals haven't picked you up yet". Gain his trust before crushing him with "Perhaps its because you're shit at your job and a condescending wanker". That'll hurt him.

I think it says 'Pardew still optimistic on recruits'. Might be wrong though.

He'll say "we might have to move on", "other targets are lined up", "tried our best" etc. Basically there'll be disheartening comments that disguise his mind games, so they could mean anything.

Clever move, i guess.

I tested between 9 and 11 of the N-O forum puns to see if they met a criteria for a ban. The results were very surprising. No pun in ten did. No way!

Rondon or Remy is where we should be looking. After Debuchy, of course....

Standing ovation, sir.

THEY WENT BACK ON SALE?!?!?!?! Unbelievable, man

Here we go again....

You start to think this is over, then he says all that. Followed by Lille's interest in Reveillere. Hope is the cruelest emotion.

These are the same creatures that believe Llorente would pollute his life by stepping foot in that hellhole.

Optimistic Nut has stayed true to his name and I love his positivity. Keep it up

They'll probably turn around and buy Bosingwa tomorrow, leading to more emotional torture for us
