"United target David Bentley is likely to join Birmingham City after having a “must play every game” clause sanctioned by Alex McLeish, with the second city side also prepared to shell out over £70,000 per week to meet his wage demands. The ex-Arsenal and current Tottenham player was due to have a medical today."
What a complete joke. So glad we let this slip..
I agree that we done the right thing avoiding this disaster, but what makes you think what's been written is true?

You're right, will keep my fingers crossed. Maybe it's Pardew's "tell everyone everything" approach that has thrown me off guard
The man pisses me right off with his spouting off to the press. I shudder to think what he'll be like next time a scandal breaks out or some shit

This decision screams "we don't have a f***ing clue what we're doing" excuse me while i go off to put money on liverpool going down
from your mouth to Jah's ears
thinking of doing the same for the shits and giggles -
I am not going "all Neesy" I just think this sounds like many windows before it, I have always been a "wait and see" poster but I am not confident this time for some reason. We seem to be strongly linked to players then it doesn't progress at all. The mail (I think) heavily linked us to Bentley, Pardew mentioned him a few times, next thing we know he is signing for Birmingham on loan without a whimper from us.
The Keane link has also gone dead.
I think we will be strongly linked to a few more players (Ziani this morning) then it will be ruled out/sign for someone else. Hasn't that already happened with Ziani?
Most of the signings we've made under MA have come out of the blue have they not? Who's to say it will be any different this window?

So the skillful prick is not joining us what a prick.
good. i'm happy

A team isn't made just from individuals who sparkle on their day (Barton, Ben Arfa, Ginola, Robert, Gasgoigne, Dyer etc) - it needs some of those but it also needs some hard workers who don't necessarily catch the eye but will graft hard, be in the right places, be available to receive and give lots of simple passes, and put the running in. When we went down we missed the likes of Jenas, Parker, Milner... and now we're doing well it's with the likes of Nolan and Guiterez in there. Tiote deserves lots of credit, but he's not the whole story.
Absolutely spot on!! Larsson came through the ranks at Arsenal did he not? The boy must be technically sound, so if he's nowt special flair-wise, he can still do the simple stuff well. If he's a good pro off the field, I think this would be a step in the right direction in terms of building a squad. Far far better than acquiring Bentley and the baggage.

Davo Bents. Don't know why that made me chuckle. -
-
wat the funk??!!

Dogleash in charge for the rest of the season.
Idiots, at least we should be in for a laugh.
i know!!! can't wait!!! couldn't have happened to a lovelier club -
Space between word and question mark. f***s sake, man.
Shouldn't it be "f***'s sake"?

Having seen a bit of his highlight reels I can conclude that he's probably a twat, and we're doing pretty well for ourselves steering well away.

I loved his celebration when he scored against us for Blackburn. "I'm David f***ing Bentley, that's who I am"
The game needs arrogance like that.
You can be arrogant when you're CR7. Don't quite think Davo Bents is up to that level just yet. -
I reckon Tiote was desperate for a shit, so he came off. Should be alright for the trip to the great unwashed

do you think the price would be cash or A PLAYER ?Wouldn't mind us just going for a package deal for all of Spurs' s*** players. We'll take Bentley and Kranjcar for 10m and if you ask us nicely we'll even take Keane off your hands. K, thanks.
Exactly.
Number 1 we'd not accept 10m for those two, and Levy would 100% ask for Caroll in any package deal.
well then Levy can go do one -

I'm considering running on the pitch, pulling De Jongs shorts AND boxers down and just botting him clean up the arse.
Suggestions for,
a) Location of pitch to carry this out on to receive the best possible media visibility to show our anger at his challenge on Ben Arfa
b) How long to bot him for
c) Whether to wear a blob
Cheers
Absolutely no doubt that this is post of the year
:lol:

When I was a nipper, Denis Law.
My old man isn't really into footy anymore but he never stops ranting and raving about how good Denis Law was.
He's right. I thought of nominating him myself but I wasn't sure he met the criteria.
I'm trying to think of a modern equivilent to give you youngsters a guide, but I don't there is one.
Gareth Bale? Marc Overmars? only better and for a longer sustained period?

Absolutely loved Enzo Scifo back in the day. Some of my other favorites were Claudio Caniggia, Renat Dassayev, Claudio Lopez and Trifon Ivanov (just for shits and giggles really)
