Me and my mate were discussing players that played for Newcastle and Arsenal.....but we only came up with Malcolm MacDonald. Are there any more?
Lets stick with the modern era......
Its becoming clear that (apart from Perch) we'll be looking for freebies/loans for other positions and save all the money for a striker. So in that case, would we get a better free than Sol Campbell? If his wages are realistic, then probably not.
Why would a footballer book a wedding/honeymoon combo in mid-July? Unless he thought he'd be retired by now, its a stupid idea.
Don't know what to think about potentially signing him. I guess if its a freebie, then its ok. Unless he's on 30k
Daily Mail says Martin Jol has agreed to go to Fulham after an 'irresistible' contract offer. Then it says he'll be given consdierable money to buy players.......such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic

These tactics are working though. If you tell a lie often enough, people believe it. We can spread the word, then Hughton finally thinks "actually aye, that annan fella would be canny" and buys him.
Keep up the good work
Mario Mandzukic has left Dinamo to join Wolfsburg for 8m euros. He's building a canny squad there - thats Friedrich, Kjaer and Mandzukic they've got. Wonder if they're spending Volkswagen's money or Dzeko's potential fee.

another 200 games? hmmm ok. looks like it wont be just one more season for him.
Also, if the winter break will only be 2 weeks, they may as well not have it. 2 weeks is absolutely nowt. Are they planning it over Christmas, or sometime in January?
