Yep. He's got it all and in my eyes its a complete no-brainer. We should offer him the top of the wage limit too (especially if Enrique, Smith and Xisco leave). If this doesn't go through I'm gonna hit something!

At least it'll be a bidding war and at least it might be Arsenal. Hopefully we'll agree a deal for M'Bengue because out of the players we've been linked with he sounds like the best one.

PSG one is lush.

£9m shouldn't be the problem because he's worth that and I think the club know that. But a lot of what they do defies logic so I wouldn't be surprised if they just sat back and let Villa have him. And I'd be gutted.

I remember when he used to be good

In an era of monotony, where each interview includes the phrase "Well, you know, its a game of two halves and theres no easy games in football anymore blah blah blah", Barton's honesty is wonderful. It rubs some people the wrong way, but at least they're reacting. Footballers can be so dull - but not our Joey

If I could choose one player that goes completely against our transfer policy, its Wayne Bridge. It'd be a nonsensical signing in every way. The newspaper sounds pretty certain but I just can't see it happening. Even the idea of him makes me shudder. Althought to be fair to him, he's bagged himself a Saturday!

If his half-brother works at Tesco, then yes

Sewelly, that was class I used to think Wearside was canny and really wanted to like him, but obviously he's made that impossible now.

No. Just......no.

Another reason he'd pick us over Villa. I'd imagine McLeish was a big part of him not being "interested enough"......he's a very dull manager with a dull playing style. Despite changing colours, the problem should remain. Unless he's the type who is controlled by money (which he probably is). It's so frustrating if we aren't going to bother with this one.

£20m is excessive for someone who - despite looking very promising - has still only had half a season of scoring goals. I mean he was great in that time and I'd really like to see him here, but he isn't necessarily the answer and hasn't proved himself yet. £12-15m is fair (begrudgingly accepting this English player inflation).

Ohhhhhh yes!

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.
