Theres a good 9 year old from Venezuela and a promising 12 year old Turk. That should fill the gap...

Control players? Apart from Barton and Taylor the rest were fine.....

Barcelona + Fabregas + Sanchez = http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0CEx52d8FPQMPz6k5m3cPRpV_JTSLv0L28tHdY7pl_Md5Qk8tlQ

think we should put oldtype on suicide watch today....

Some of the newspapers today should be ashamed of themselves. Having the nerve to paint Barton as the devil, when the 2 Arsenal players did worse. And they're all convinced it was a legit penalty! I'm gobsmacked.

Kid sounds promising and it'd be great to get a striker in, but for that money I'd like something better and less risky. I'd definitely support him if he comes, but hopefully we've bid for a few strikers and he's just one of them.

Theo Walcott has a book coming out (serialised in The Sun) and he's got a few interesting things to say about Capello: But then he backtracks by saying everything is fine now, nothing to see here.... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3752157/Theo-Walcott-Fabio-Capello-is-like-a-headmaster.html

As a Barca sympathiser I'm glad this has happened, but its not nice seeing another world class player leave England. Shocked that the whole thing is finally over though.

£14m?? Get away man, it'll cost £20m at the very least but it should be more. Luckily, it obviously wont happen.

with Wayne Bridge and Erik Pieters

So that went pretty well. Love a bit of Joey.

If we don't get at least one Orwell quote, I'll be angry.

Clean sheets for Huth and Cole. Hopefully Vidic can do the same - its been a good week!

Must admit, the Cissokho story makes this a lot less appealing. I guess its a body though.

So you prefer that Tinie Tempah shite or whatever it is? Yeh, but the other one was around for far too long. They used to change it up every year.

Fair play to Pardew, he said the right things in those interviews. He uses his charm to convince us he isn't a puppet, but unfortunately we know the truth. I do sort of like him though, even if his substitutions yesterday were shocking.

Got rid, thankfully.

He wasn't horrible and actually showed a lot of promise. But it has to be seen as a 'work in progress' at the minute considering our pre-season from hell. When he gets a bit fitter and becomes comfortable with all these new teammates we'll have quite a player on our hands. It won't take him long, we've got a cracker here.

We're not selling Tiote, we're not selling Smith and there'll be a special offer on new matchday pies.

Wonder if the club will offer him a new deal on the condition that he quits twitter. Its fun to read as fans but it must be giving our hierarchy nightmares.

Safe to say they wont ask for £14m. They want rid and know nobody will go near that. £8-9m is fair.

Can't believe MotD read his tweets too Look at the institution trying to be hip by going on that-thing-that-the-cool-kids-like
