Hulk just would not sign for Sunderland. Not a chance. So Dave, can you see that he's browsing this place? He should sign up here, he's definitely one of the better journalists.

At least Xisco's wages can pay for Ireland. Nice car.

Still, I can't wait for yous to buy a striker so yous can keep away from Wor Andy. Getting bored of it now. But then it might makes Spurs even better.....what a dilemma!

Llorente would be stupid to go to Spurs considering its a safe bet that he's otherwise off to Real Madrid in the summer.

Fair enough, I just really rate him. Maybe not good enough to be an Arsenal regular but a really canny player. He could be the star of that team.

keane hasn't looked good in ages, ba is broken (failed stoke medical) and bridge......do i even need to say it? keane and bridge aren't spurs/man city quality anymore but (apart from bridge's horror show on his debut) they're good enough for bottom of the table, definitely. admittedly ba could go either way, but at a minimum i reckon he'll be better than ilan, mido, mccarthy and sears have been. will chip in with 5 or 6 goals.

not craig gordon?

Villa are building a canny squad there, they'll be up the league in no time. Having said that: WBA - Vela Birmingham - Bentley, Martins West Aaaaam - Keane, Ba, Bridge Its difficult to see any of them going down either, so it'll be really interesting to see who joins Wigan and Wolves in the bottom 3. Especially if Adam leaves Blackpool. btw/ Pienaar, Rakitic and Annan bought for a total of £6m incredible.

It's a good deal and I take him. But the question is: where will he fit in, in our formation? By all accounts, he was better playing off a striker at Man City. Luckily we're short of options up front too, so when Ben Arfa comes back we'll have Ireland, Ben Arfa and Nolan floating around getting on the end of Carroll's knockdowns. and sorry, towelie :-[

This year we've seen Bale, Nasri and Wilshere emerge strongly, so Carroll is pretty unlucky this year. Southern/big team bias dictates that he won't get Young Player of the Year.

Ignoring his past loopiness: 1. we only have 4 fit midfielders 2. ireland > nobody 3. its only a loan....try before you buy! can't see how this is anything but a good deal.

We're Newcastle United - Kevin Keegan, The Entertainers nearly winning the league, Alan Shearer, Bobby Robson, Champions League, lush stadium, always on the TV, always on the news, we broke the world transfer record and we're based in a wonderful city. The only contributions they've made to Premiership history are Kevin Phillips and finishing with the lowest points total (at the time). Even their manager supports us! Sunderland fans compare everything they do to Newcastle and we're always at the forefront of their minds. RTG is proof of this ridiculous obsession. They're the annoying dog that keeps humping your leg. They're irritating and you can't shake them off. Anyone that claims the obsession is equal is insane, as they're just incomparable.

Getting a bit worried now. This contract needs sorting ASAP.

Love the way he worded that Harry is a bellend of magnificent proportions, the twat.

Wow, didn't expect to see him back in England. Can't see it working out for him though.

These last two pages Although the way Keys nonchalantly went "Did you smash it?" will haunt my dreams forever.

So the day has finally arrived? I don't quite know what to say Give me a few weeks to get over this. Please.

Muntari is turboshit, but fair play on Sessegnon.....he's good. Not enough to replace the damage of Bent leaving though. Worrying amount of loans too, they'll have to spend a lot just to stand still next season.

Its Barcelona. You lose.

Shepherd, Allardyce and Redknapp dream team!!!! Maybe.

Wor Gez

The future of English football, £20m rated Jordan Henderson, no less. But he's not a defensive midfielder, I hear you cry. Well, from the amount of time he spends floating around doing nothing, he's as much as a DM as he is an AM/RM which he is apparently supposed to be. Capello agrees with you.

who are these 'current defensive midfielders'? it must look pretty grim for them.....

Djimi Traore?

Inter Milan, managed by Mourinho, with players like Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Cambiasso, Lucio, Milito, Sneijder, Maicon etc. But yeh, it was all Muntari
