sidlowe Sid Lowe Aguero: preferred destination RMadrid. Chelsea: possible. Don't think Utd interested. Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal: no chance.

We've timed this perfectly. Although they want a bidding war, with one year left on his contract our bid is the absolute maximum they should be getting. Plus, it's all paid up front. We want an early signing, they've got a brilliant offer with plenty of time to replace. And comparisons with Owen aren't right. We were clearly a big step down from Real Madrid, so he wasn't interested. But Gameiro is largely unknown playing for a nothing club - we may not be Spanish, but we're definitely a step up for him.

How can he 80% turn them down? As far as I'm concerned, Liverpool can buy as many expensive strikers/midfielders as they want, as long as it keeps them away from Enrique.

That won't work out well.

Honestly, I love this place sometimes :mackems:

I've posted him a lovely comment in French. Hope he appreciates it. "Bienvenue à Newcastle! Vous allez adorer la vie ici" It isn't a video of a goat, and it isn't crazy stalker-ish, but I'm content with that dammit!

Defoe: He's alright, he's better than what we have but I know we can (and will) do better. It would break every rule of the regime's transfer laws, so we definitely won't be after him. Rondon, on the other hand.....

Even if it was £10m, thats an 8 figure bid. I'll leave now.....

You'll never beat the Ben Arfa thread. Ever. He clearly wants Spain but Valencia are skint, Villarreal have to get rid of Rossi first and Atletico would have to sell Forlan. It's definitely do-able, but bloody Spurs are lurking everywhere. Never seen him play, but he seems very good so lets hope we can push this through.

if you marry a footballer, you know what you're gonna get. they'll cheat, they'll shop around and they'll humiliate you. but a lot of women will take that, as long as she has a lovely house, lives the WAG lifestyle, never has to work again and he buys them lovely presents. it's not romantic, but it's true.

The Mags have photoshopped it

I just wish they'd run into a lamppost and get it over with.

Yeh, roughly. Just thought I'd be an idiot and gather them together.

Yeah, buying an African to deputise for Tiote seems backwards. Would hope it isn't him.

Preston and Sheff Utd used to live in the play-off spots and look whats happened to them.

Jose Angel at Sporting Gijon (one time Toon target) has signed for Barcelona for roughly £3.5m. A bargain, and indicative of a movement to enlarge the squad.

He would constantly mumble to himself about staying on your feet, even when it made no sense.

Lets ask Niall Quinn what he thinks about this....

West Ham won't be back up for a while, Blackpool will find their level and only Brum have a chance of bouncing back. In response to the OP: West Ham: Sell Parker (to Villa), Green (to Norwich), Cole (to Stoke) as well as Ba, Upson, Hitzlsperger, Barrera, Faubert and the loanees. Birmingham: Sell Dann, Foster (to Spurs), Larsson on a free, Zigic and their loanees Blackpool: Vaughan and Gilks go on a free, Adam (to Sunderland) and Campbell

Was Bolton's kit designed by the same people as the London 2012 logo?

Van Basten would be a disaster. He's just not a good manager, imo.

the guy is a pure twat. Yeah but he's our twat. Well......Chelsea's.

Kader Mangane would be interesting

Would be a shame to see Drogba leave the country. He's part of the furniture now.
