Ketsbaia

Drogba, Lukaku and Torres aren't leaving and I really don't see it being Anelka. Now is the time to go for Sturridge.

Pardew will collapse the night before, the kitman will forget the shirts and conjunctivitis will return. Probably. Match abandoned.

Fucking hell, man. Can you remember when there was optimism last month? Seemingly everything is going wrong, summed up by this VISA fiasco.

It is absolute unforgivable. We're talking basics here. Fucking hell, this club.

Even worse

Replaces Routledge --> good signing Replaces Barton --> awful signing Basically.

Obertan = Robben http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTneiU6sxYioROwaN_M5ysCTlp4pC0Uh9P_o3CW96jtsjUZo8zR http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTNj96YJAgOGHLGrkrlLR89yGUTkHPpGUos5tWNGIwIAUF-QfI-

I mean what type of story is that? He's thought out loud and they've attached a headline. Our press is a joke

Bellamy is still one of my favourite players, so hopefully this won't happen. He's still good.

Shame about the source but I've wanted him for a while. Would be a fantastic signing for us, which is why it probably won't happen. We'd have to sell Perch or Raylor first.

Joey Barton = CM Punk. That is all.

I absolutely adore reading Barton's tweets and interviews. Probably one of my favourite footballers around. He's different because he's well spoken but confrontational. He takes no crap and I really hope he one-ups the board here. If any player will go out of his way to stay, just to spite the board, then it'll be Joey Barton.

Hopefully the mongs will never hear of it. Keep it niche.

Just seen an article on Bantr - a social network for football fans. Being launched this weekend. http://thenextweb.com/uk/2011/08/03/bantr-the-social-network-for-football-fans/

Its fascinating watching Joey perform here. This whole saga has been brilliant.

Barnetta: 5 years, £4m fee, £40k wage--> £4m + (5*52*40) = £14,400,000 Barton: 5 years, £55k wage (guess) --> (5*52*55) = £14,300,000 Thats it, he's cheaper, he's staying. BOOOOM! Money, money, money. (plus, barton might be willing to go lower than 55k)

You say Barton i say Barnetta. BA, BArnetta, BArton, hBA......wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with Fabien BArthez, Milan BAros, Giles BArnes and Lee BArnard

Yep. Keep thinking something has happened.

you don't play for spurs though. slight problem.

Not sure who i want now: Barton: really good player, loves the club, but he's off in a year (for free) Barnetta: quieter, better player but needs time to settle, he'll still be here next year (or at least we'd get money). Heart says Barton, head says Barnetta.

Seem to remember a number of people saying the same about Erdinc. Guilty Ferguson was hinting yesterday that PSG want Berbatov......one more striker and surely he has to leave them. 4th choice, man.

Suspicious about this 'agent' - I'm not worried about this story at all. Pretty confident we'll get him, which might look foolish considering how this summer has gone.

Best of luck Wayne. I was really excited when we signed him - hopefully this time he'll get rid of that stigma of being a Premiership bottler. Seems like a canny lad. Swansea are obviously preparing for promotion in 2 years time.

Hang on, hang on - so now the newspapers are saying they're patching things up? That would be sensational. The biggest u-turn in the history of u-turns. What a mental story this has been.
