Ketsbaia

I love how Sewelly is one of the best and most respected posters on here, but when Wearside comes calling he turns fantastic

Great to see those earlier fears dismissed. It sounds like he's just like he always was Couldn't have went much better for him, really

Especially in the second division.

Blackburn are signing Mariano Pavone. The biggest 'meh' signing south of Scotch Corner.

Fair enough, the guy has suffered enough for his sin.

Rightly or wrongly, my mindset now is that everything they say will probably lead to bad news.

The Carroll saga made sure I never trust anything Pardew, Llambias or Ashley say ever again. Its made me cynical about everything this club does and even though £35m was an insane price, as a fan it still hurts. So they can deny we're selling Tiote as much as they want, I don't believe a word they say.

What about Downing and Adam though?

Because people keep mixing Luis with Jose. I tried a super inverse double whoosh there and I guess it didn't work

We haven't sold him yet

Is that the same room as the angry Arsenal fan?

I assume Villa would have the upper hand on city, wages, size of club and transfer fee. He'd be a buffoon to join Sunderland.

This and N'Zogbia. ARRRRGGGHHH! Need to keep my wrists hidden.

Fucking hell, man. He should be all ours.

lee westwood? so that's what they meant by investing the £35m in the club.... [/poorgolfjoke]

I think they can theoretically reject a transfer request. But it's a strong indication they'll have a disgruntled player on their hands. Also, it must have something to do with their contract and whether the player is entitled to certain bonuses. Personally I think Spurs should tell Chelsea to fuck off. Aye i think you get a loyalty bonus for not asking to leave. But whilst Levy is adamant that Modric won't go, we know that as soon as the transfer request goes in his "hands will be tied" and he'll go to Chelsea. They already know Modric wants to go there and a written request shouldnt change that.

I don't get why transfer requests are suddenly a game changer. A player writes that he wants to leave and thats that? He automatically has to go? Clubs will flat out refuse to sell players then the magical request comes in and they MUST sell. I just don't get it.

I decided that the Chelsea fans should chant 'Tutti Frutti' by Little Richard, with it culminating in.... Lampard, Malouda, Drogba, Kalou http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElwgN8ah4po I thought this because I'm weird.

Ahhh man there's been some frustrating transfers today.

Theres no smoke without fire. We've denied it today but I feel this might haunt our summer.

unfortunately it's like the N'Zogbia situation in that no clubs will bid for a while. of course, jose won't say anything in the meantime because he doesn't want to burn his bridges with us - he still loves it here and it's a professional decision only. he'll not want to leave on a downer. so without any bids or words from Jose, we're stuck in a very frustrating impasse. the club are desperate for him to stay but will do everything in it's power to stop him running down the contract, and there comes a point where we can't wait any longer. if this continues for another 2 weeks they'll want him gone because we can't assume m'bengue is waiting for us. he could easily sign elsewhere. i hate this.

You could argue either way about who's a bigger club tbh. Also, I think I read somewhere that he's supported PSG ever since moving to France. Having said that, I think we'll get him as PSG will probably get another striker. If Carr loves him, thats good enough to stifle my doubts.

Fuck's sake. It's one thing making up transfer rumours, claiming to actually sign a player himself is going too far. And nice to see QPR assembling a relegation-class squad.

we should get teeth girl to model ours. she'd actually make the kits look lush in comparison. [/nufcnewmarketingploy]

selling club etc.
