He's a decent player doing well in the Premier League, of course Liverpool want to sign him.

Christ, the lead presenter is completely 2 dimensional.

The finish is actually perfect. Such incredible technique to hit the ball with that much pace, curl and accuracy whilst dropping; just stunning.

Don't usually watch ESPN. Who is this presenter? She knows nathin'.

"ESPN is fucking shit" haar

Been crap for 2 years. Aye, it's a shame he's a massive c***. Could have done well in the PL. The ability is still there, no question.

Too right. The man is an icon of the contemporary game.

Henry is awesome in every single way

Henry scoring such an Henry goal for Arsenal is so... :***)

Good news. It should be Ryan Taylor right-back and Santon left-back. In terms of defending, I rate Simpson higher than Raylor. True, but Taylor isn't that bad and I actually think that his competent passing and excellent dead ball delivery makes him a better option against opponents like QPR. Cannot wait for Santon to pocket SWP

They're not buying out his contract though. A £7m release clause means that if a rival club bids £7m to us (note: not to the player himself), we're obligated to accept it and allow the bidding club to discuss terms with the player... Or they are just allowed to begin discussing personal terms, a la Neil Taylor... We don't know what the clause is in any detail or how much is needed to trigger it. It would be best at this stage if Pardew was to come out and say something along these lines, "Yes, there is a clause in Demba's contract, but we are not concerned by it. Demba will be a Newcastle player come February". Simple. Even if it turns to be a lie it muddies the water enough. Reading the FA rules regarding this posted a few pages ago it seems the club aren't allowed to reveal any details unless they have the written consent of the player though. We wouldn't reveal anything, would we?

FA Cup with Portsmouth. OK, but still... against Cardiff Aside from M'United they had a stroll to the final.

I've just realized that Redknapp has never won a major domestic cup. So much hype for someone who will always end-up several yards short of the finish line.

Remember that chap we managed to keep hold of for long enough to become our record goalscorer?

Hughes would be such an underwhelming appointment. Like admitting that the club has 0 ambition.

Either that or a calm, calculated neutral response. Pardew will do no wrong

Bah I'm enjoying this latest Redknapp outburst. Cannot wait for Pardew to land a KO in the next few days :smug:

It's not possible to get drunk from strawberry syrup. Even in a nightclub.

Did you time travel or what? http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01494/harry_redknapp_1494143c.jpg

Amdy Anal Faye Creampie. gah

Might get jailed soon. That good enough?

Probably furious that we sold them a lemon

Also, what is there to say that this isn't merely a 'allows the player to talk to another club's representatives' clause a la Neil Taylor?
