If we get no other striker in, I'd rather leave #9 vacant. I still believe in the romance of it

Best goalie tops since the Euro 96 ones!!!

Football, man It's going insane. Amazing.

Rather Arsenal than fucking Liverpool. That goes without saying. Wish they'd all just stay away though.

Arsenal will get Enrique, won't they?

Although we still need a striker, I'm fully confident that Ba can get 15 goals next season. And because of that, he'll do better than whatever striker we pay for. Great signing.

when villa make a bid, hopefully thatll force us to make a move. if we fail to buy zoggy, we've fucked it up big time!

And yet MotD didn't even put it in Goal of the Season!

I don't know why Hazard would do that. Playing wise it's a sideways step (at most) and he'd earn loads at one of the elite clubs, where he'll soon be. Strange one.

That is incredible news. Thank you

The Legends are never right.

Depends if Pele could do it on a rainy Tuesday in Doncaster.

The world has gone mad. But i guess we've known that for a while now....

And also, Bent >>> Wickham. So they've downgraded.

Could turn out to be decent, we don't know. But it won't be at Sunderland and he's not the goalscorer they need right now. I'm not jelly at all.

But the type of clubs where Sturridge will play first team football are the ones that can't afford his wages. Maybe Spurs would be realistic, but Bolton/Stoke/Newcastle can't do it. The lad should be sensible enough to realise that a few years on less wages (50k) is worth it if it means he gets to play, get England caps and ultimately, end up back at the massive clubs. Unfortunately many players aren't this sensible anymore, so I don't know why I'm hoping he will be.

If so, he shouldn't be. Signing two players for free would balance it out and it enables us to go for one big deal - Sturridge ticks almost every box.

I'd be furious if this story was true, especially now it seems he'd be available. He's exactly what we need and we could reach a compromise on his wages (certainly don't see Bolton, Stoke matching them either). If it's down to Sturridge & Erding, and this story is true......I think it is insanity.

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/198394/Newcastle-Alan-Pardew-chases-Juan-Manuel-Martinez/? NEWCASTLE are considering a move for Velez Sarsfield striker Juan Manuel Martinez. Juan Manuel Martinez, nicknamed ‘The Little Donkey’, was a target for Wigan and Blackburn earlier this summer. But their interest has waned and Newcastle are now among a trio of clubs keen – with Napoli and Seville also in the running. The Argentine international is 25 years old and the Magpies believe he could have plenty of resale value if he is a hit for Alan Pardew’s men in the Premier League.

Still stick by this. The more I think about it, the more I doubt it's a good fit. Although theres still time for somebody to hijack.

sidlowe Sid Lowe Sport headline announces Joaquín won over fans at Malaga presentation by telling joke. Click on link, no joke. Thanks. For. That. Apparently joke was: Malaga play ChLg final and stadium is full. there's only one seat left, a man asks this woman if it's free. She says no, it's my husband's. Where is your husband? He's dead. Oh. how comes you don't bring some other family member to take seat? I would have, but they've all gone to the funeral. Got to love Joaquín What a legend

Ergh, I hate that adidas template. At least they've moved up to big boy pants and found themselves a sponsor.

Now Hughton can buy half our squad. Although this is what happens when fucking Stoke get a bit of power - what a shocking waste of money.

We're British; we love to moan.
