Reading have signed Sporting Lisbon defender Daniel Carrico for €750,000

So they've offered around £5 million

I don't want to get shot of him now. Happy for him to be backup until his contract goes at the end of the season.

Perch is a worse right back.

And now it's a saga.

Barton, the prick, will probably be encouraging this daft cunt to come here.

First game I ever went to was with my dad was against West Brom, i'd never been that into football before that but Jason Roberts tore us a new hoop, remember thinking that he must be one of the best around Absolutely shat on us in the relegation season. Turns into Drogba against us, it's ridiculous.

Both. Injured, they started the season with Gignac who did well, now can't get back in the side regularly.

Christ, didn't even see that news about Ben Arfa until now. How shit. This season really is just about scraping over the survival line. How that effects our players commitment long term - well we'll see.

£12mill + Remy for Marveaux surely?

That black guy everybody thought was Bafetimbi Gomis isn't it? Turned out it was just a black guy.

The video of Remy from his Nice days makes him look like one cool motherfucker.

We need Marveaux and Remy

Of course Shola will be there for the Everton game.

Anybody follow @englandyouth on Twitter? He does good updates about the young players coming through in this country, but pisses me off something terrible with the sanctimonious shit.

Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder Be interesting to see where #nufc turn regarding a CB , FC Twente defender Bricklayer not high up the list say Dutch media

He literally has no clue, does he? Has to leech all of his info from other media outlets. He's just lucky it was an anglo-ish name this time. If he had a Dutch nickname, Ryder was toast.

not up to you, me or the club though thanks to the clause (without which he probably wouldn't have come in the first place). True madras, another point that needs acknowledging. None of us have any idea what he's actually asking for in terms of his contract either.

If it was up to me I'd keep both the fuckers, sign Remy too and have multiple options with 1 of them doing bench time. That's what we'd all want in an ideal world. That isn't going to happen though, because we've got unambitious tossers as owners.

Some people need to accept that others have differing opinions. While I don't COMPLETELY agree, I think there is some logic to the theory that the team has been built around Ba which has benefited his stats but been to the detriment of the balance and fluidity of the team as a whole. We played 2 out and out #9s together in a flat 4-4-2 for most of the season. No team in Europe does that, and certainly not teams that don't have a decent natural winger to call upon. Ba was scoring yes, 'knicking goals' in spite but we were generally looking like a rigid pile of shit that was outnumbered in midfield, couldn't create a decent chance and losing. Now we're playing 4-3-3 with Ba through the middle and Cisse on Barrack Road. Our right flank is Cisse/Simpson for fuck's sake. The team is all over the fucking place, even when we do attempt to play with a more fluid system. I'm not happy that Ba is going, because he's a good striker and has been largely excellent for us. That said, the results and performances have been shit this season. Apathy has well and truly set in and I'm open to the optimistic approach of 'he's gone, let's build without and try something new'.

Howay mate, have a bit of respect for the elderly.

30. RIP.
