Wouldn't be wise to keep Kinnear on next season. Only if it is to keep the majority of fans happy, which is dam important in our case. Oh and I have little faith in his abilities of a manager. Although in reality I haven't got a clue how good his is.

Relies on physical ability to get him by and I just don't like that type of player. Can't complain about his scoring record though. No point discussing him further though - he isn't going to sign.

Fairly sure there isn't a problem with identifying numerous targets. In fact that would be the sensible thing to do. I hate Gomez. Terrible footballer and yet he averages one goal every other game at club level. Doesn't matter though, seriously doubt he'd be interested in us.

Nothing in the press for a couple of days at least. Would be wise to keep it that way too.

Actually shaking my head at the Wise talk in this thread. Should just pass this off as a cheeky bid, which shouldn't have been made public. Moving on...

Bale hasn't developed anywhere near as much as expected since signing for Tottenham. Injuries more than likely to blame obviously. Doubt Jose would go anywhere near him if he's seen his recent form.

That is some truly magical logic Ash4.

Had to pay that to get him in now rather than the summer though. £13 million nothing to their owners anyway.

I assume you should be waiting because that is all you can do. Feel free to complain about what hasn't happened yet ofc

How much should we pay for a sign of intent then? £10,000,000? £15,000,000? Really can't understand why we can't wait to see who signs and then decided if the right action has been taken to improve the squad depth and quality.

Arsene is good mates with Brucey. Pointed him in Palacios's direction after he deemed him not good enough for Arsenal.

Higher in the League indeed - by a gulf of 3 points. Not really a reason to sign for one club over another. Oh and Harry wants a new central midfield. He doesn't seem to rate the '10 CMs' he has already, or more precisely the 3 (maybe 4) players who could operate in a similar role to what Appiah would offer. He'd would fit straight into the Tottenham side under Harry, then loose a Knee a few games in.

No and no. Appiah has serious need trouble. If he didn't he'd most likely still be turning out in Turin. Trialling at Tottenham anyway. Christ knows why he'd sign for us over them.

Bolton had a bid of £5m rejected for Bullard a couple of days ago. Can't see us bidding more than that. Anyway, this is a transfer RUMOURS thread, not a random speculation thread yeah?

I'd accept Finnan, Mido and Lovenkrands. Appiah has no knees and Pilko has already summed up Pennant.

Tea everywhere.

I said incredible not cuntish.

Pennant http://www.otf2.com/forums/images/smilies/cheeky.gif Allegedly on £60,000 a week at Anfield and a poor professional footballer too. He does have a rather incredible agent though.

Its a waste of time because we won't increase our offer for him, yeah okay have a go with a cheap offer and see if they go for it, but you need to be ready to offer more if you are serious about getting the player. No problem at all if we've bid the maximum we can afford, or as I already said what we consider an acceptable amount. Mbia not the only central midfielder in the world btw

I fail to see how bidding for a good player at a value we consider acceptable is a waste of time.

Harry Redknapp, easy.

Kaka more important to Manchester City than just his footballing ability. It will be a signal of intent that they can sign almost anybody in the world.

Thats what MA wants , Grand signings, not Millions signings. http://www.otf2.com/forums/images/smilies/cheeky.gif

M'Bia's a beast. Would be a grand signing.
