  1. So Ashley refused to sell when this Abu Dhabi group were interested but now is willing to sell any of our players and sack Keegan... Something really doesn't add up here

     

    we dont know there was ever a offer and ever if there was it may have not been a good one.

    Guy who broke the story said 3 clubs were under consideration - Arsenal, Man City and Newcastle. Ashley wouldn't sell/overpriced the club so Abu Dhabi went for City instead.

     

    Well done Ashley. You c*nt

     

    classy

  2. Ben Tozer seems to be highly rated and I think he was on the bench last season for a game or 2......do you think he might have a chance this season with our lack of depth? I heard his position is primarily centre back but can play left back

     

    What about Lua Lua?

     

    think we'll almost certainly be finding out about these players in the very near future

     

    yup. no point in having a boat load of youngsters if they don't play. I look forward to seeing Tozer, Ranger, Donaldson, Danquah, LuaLua, Zamblera and possibly even Grieve in the premier league at some point (cameo appearances). We need to find out more about their make-up to know if they're worth keeping or not.

  3. I would have thought Keegan would have had someone lined up to replace Milner after saying something similar to "Trust me and judge me at midnight on Monday"

     

    i'm sure he does. I don't think gonzalez will be the last midfielder coming in today. i see him more as someone who increases our options, which is even more important than usual with 7 players on a subs bench.

     

    I still see the midfield as lacking something too. There are lots of options but i think we have 5 and half decent midfielders, if Gonzalez is good that is.

     

    Yeah a Nicky Butt replacement.

     

    yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! let's start a new thread!  :smug:

  4. Just had a text from a workmate through in Glasgow who shares a flat with one of the Rangers physios...horrible rumour this one so brace yourselves...but we're in for Kris Boyd at £5.5M. Apparently. :neutral:

     

    :kasper:

     

    To be fair you are not the first one to say this.

     

    I'm going to ignore the likes of themanupstairs and TT (though I'm surprised at you TT, tbh) - I have no reason to discredit my "source" - this isn't a wind up - not as far as I'm concerned...

     

    ...and to be honest, if this was a wind up then the source would know the possible concsequences for his own credibility with friends in future. I can't see him crying wolf on something like this, tbh.

    Wasnt TT defending you and taking the piss out of themanupstairs s**** comeback?

     

    no. i think TT caught on that i was bored, and tired of reading the letters ITK put together, cracked a rather humorous joke, and decided to jump on the bandwagon.

     

    for the record, never seen kris boyd play, so i don't really have an opinion on whether or not we should sign him. at this point im just posting total shit to get through the day

  5.  

    hard enough keeping up with all the other threads, as well as panic, optimism, pessimism, speculation, adulation, WoW, SSN, Setanta, and the general mong-ness of this day....

     

    not much need for more mong-ness in the shape of this pathetic thread. please lock mods. thanks

     

    No. You're welcome.

     

    just giving free advice. you just wait till the revolution happens, and me, Mike and Bontempi take over this board

    Irony. You're the one that cant handle one general thread on all transfers and a 'what else do we need' thread. Thats 2 threads to follow and you're calling me a mong?  :laugh:

     

     

     

     

    naah Chez, don't think you're a mong but rather a decent poster on here. think ur thread is mong though, yes.

  10.  

    Yup.

     

    watched the game here (in cyprus) last night, and good old Temuri's getting his team to go out there and play the way he did. Keep an eye out for french central midfielder Laban, and Polish center forward Lukasz Sosin (good friend of mine  :aww:)

     

    what I can't believe though, is that there were some Cypriot wankers cheering on Olympiakos instead of Anorthosis. Hate this greek loyalty politics crap. As far as i'm concerned, we politely stuck 2 fingers up the greeks and told them to fuck off

     

     

  11. Put your hands up, when Ashley took over, who expected us to go out and splash silly money on new players, to not give a f*** about extortionate wage demands, to be able to cancel players' contracts just because we don't think they're good enough and so on?

     

    It's bonkers to me, this argument that seems to filter through that just because Ashley has a few quid in the bank, he should be running the club with his own money. The club has to be sustainable with or without Ashley's cash (don't forget, the papers have him leaving every other week), and it has to be a business run well.

     

    I hate Roman Abramovich.

     

    That man is the head-cunt of all cunts. I hold him responsible (well, sort of) for destroying football as we know it.

  12. Would be a massive blow to lose him. I really think he contributes a lot to the team with his work rate and ability to create stuff. Also, he has got tremendous potential and he'll probably grow at Villa or whereve he goes. If he goes i'll miss him bigtime and I really hope we bring in a respectable replacement.

     

    origami boats and air planes don't count

     

     

  13. don't be daft, hardly any clubs have bought players or spent money, and deals take time these days and can't be done in 5 days, plus there's 5 days left which is more than enough time to close a deal...

     

    :lol: right

  14. the way I see it, the transfer request will be the catalyst for a giant transfer merry-go-round that will see

     

    milner to villa

    barry & riera to liverpool

    penant & hyppia to stoke

    arshavin to spurs

    lennon to everton

    benayoun to west ham

    ashton to newcastle
