Definitely happy about this. The prospect of having to even consider playing Ryan Taylor anywhere near the first team is one that spells When Saylor gets back fit again, he can be considered our 2nd RB, not Raylor. Plus, Sol will add some much needed aerial strength and power, something which Colo lacks. Could certainly be a benefit to our set-pieces...

Is he not similar to Routledge just a bit better? Routledge is much better than Ben Arfa. There's no contest.

Same. Lifes too boring without it. I can only handle so much transfer disappointment...

I'm starting to get slightly panicy now. The desperation is just starting to kick in...

And proper players?

Seen that before, absolutely class like.

But he plays RB?

What Disco's said is right, but I cant imagine it would be easy to find more passionate fans than the Argentinians. Their passion for their clubs and football in general is second to none, imo. Also, the fact that in all other countries outside Britain your allowed to support your team the way your want- i.e standing, reasonable ticket prices etc- means that atmospheres are easier to create. Whereas in Britain prices for the top leagues are a rip-off whilst fans have next to no rights. We're not allowed to stand at matches, ffs. Its a joke trying to watch football over here. I'm going slightly off topic now....

Terrible shame, poor Wednesday. Great club with a fantastic support. Lets hope they make it through...

You can, I'm just about to do it for Villa. So is there a point in buying the membership then if you want to get tickets for there?

Canny player on CM4, mind...

The Fairs Cup was the equivalent to the UEFA Cup we have today, just a different trophy. Whatever people say about it I'm immensely proud of our success in it.

What a left foot. Used to love that old fella, Donato IIRC, who used to play in midfield who claimed he was 42 but was rumoured to be 48. I remember him as well. Tubby fucker, like. Djalminha had the sweetest left peg going, though. I don't think he ever reached the level he should have unfortuantely...

I was thinking, it must be Mahomadu Diarra. Still, €6m is very reasonable....thats about £5m.

Good stuff. Now lets move onto our next signings, please...

Deportivo La Courna would be my Spanish team. Fell in love with them when they had the likes of Valeron, Luque, Tristan, Pandiani, Djalminha, Andrade etc. Great side. Shame how they've drifted from those days...

yup, can imagine him signing up for a MLS team though To his credit, he says he wants to keep playing competitive football. But he has no legs anymore and in my opinion will be exposed in any other team where he isn't protected in the same way as in Real Madrid. I'd be surprised if anyone gives him a game at this rate....

Was there loads of them, like?

Pretty much, aye.

Out for 10 weeks apparently...

Some good games for Wigan, solid performances, but then again some of those absolute clangers he has dropped just typify why he will never be able to play for a big club. An absolute calamity at times.

Was reading a few complaints about the poor quality of the away shirt on another message board.

He's always talked a good story. God, he really has like. Ever since he joined he's gone about trying to earn this media halo with lots of sweet talk of being a changed man, more determined than ever, he owes us etc etc etc. I really hope he can perform for us though. At his best he is a very good player and could be a very important one for us, too.

Much, much, much rather win 1-0! It ruins my day when we lose so definitely a win! Plus, who says a 1-0 doesn't mean you can play well? Silly myth. If we were to lose 4-3 on the final day of the season to relegate us I doubt people would be proud of that.
