Yeh this gets me too. All I could come up with was that it gave alliteration to Soccer Saturday! I actually really enjoyed MNF, especially as it brought back memories of it from 10-15 years ago. Found it odd that Andy Gray would stare in the camera when talking to Richard Keys though.

Whether Hughton wants him to go may be out of his hands. Maybe Ashley is willing to go over the wage limit for Ben Arfa, as long as one of Smith or Barton goes. Which I'd be fine with tbh. By the way, how do we pronounce Tiote? Tee-oh-tay, Tee-ot, Tee-oh-ty, Tee-oat......

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/194559/Jose-Enrique-We-ll-give-it-a-bash-to-lose-Joey-Barton-s-tache I just love this guy

I don't think any of them are leaving. Yes theres 5 CMs, but we have no back-up for the wingers unless you count Ryan Taylor. And we saw Barton and Guthrie put on the right last season, rightly or wrongly.

a less mature person would make a xisco joke.......

tbh, who would take smith from us? tiote would be a lovely transfer, although i share kaiz's sentiments....i'd rather ben arfa.

Allofs has made a few comments saying similar. It looks like their pursuit of Wesley is going well and combined with Aaron Hunt's performance the other night, they probably have no room for Ben Arfa. Thankfully.

Don't know where he would've played really. Capello loves Barry, Lampard and Gerrard.

i wonder who the other clubs are.....

taking a step back, marseille have bought two quality players there. confirms that bafra is leaving really, as if it was in doubt!

Paul the Octopus backs the bid http://fourfourtwo.com/news/england/61484/default.aspx

While Werder Bremen, Hoffenheim etc. have been mentioned, I'm sure other teams are watching closely and are waiting to pounce as deadline day looms. Whereas Werder looking to sign Wesley and Wolfsburg getting Diego rules them out, theres others to worry about. Thats the risk we take by letting this play out til the 31st. The longer this takes, the less chance we'll have.

We need to start 'Hughton Bingo' with his catchphrases

Tiote is a really good player, but I'm happy we're not after him. If we have that kind of money to spend, I want it spent on a striker/Ben Arfa-type. A defensive midfielder would be nice, but its not top of the priorities.

Leicester linked with a move for Heskey http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3103928/Leicester-want-Emile-Heskey.html Not exactly Bellamy to Cardiff, is it?

What happened to Diego going there?

xavi and iniesta (they only come as a two-pack), followed by emile heskey

CaulkinTheTimes Hatem Ben Arfa has become the footballing equivalent of Where's Waldo. Bremen deny they want him. Deschamps? "He is not here." #Nufc ......Waldo? George man, you're English!

Annan and Skjelbred. Easy peasy.

Source? Both are very good news, if true.

Can only see Bremen going for Hatem if the Wesley signing doesn't happen, so lets hope it does!

don't normally like doing this, but 3 days away has yielded 60 pages, most of which is probably filled with "page 200 FTW", dodgy google translations and squirrel-related conversation........so whats happened lately? it seems to be really quiet, is there general optimism? werder bremen denying the bid is quite a positive.
