Frazzle

Denied by player himself. Not sure he'd openly admit he's a crock. He's not going to blatantly lie about a medical though is he? Saying someone is a crock can be debatable, the medical is a fact.

What's he been saying like?

How would that be surprising? Someone wants him.

Perch?

Erding

Gonna be a dad.

colo or tiote would come before cabaye. tiote is future captain material to me. I thought about Tiote but he seems pretty shy. In terms of leading by example he's perfect though.

I think it'll end up being Cabaye. Just a hunch. Like Cana at the mackems coming as in captain straight away.

Judging by Wiki, seems similar to Tiote... He primarily plays as a combative defensive midfielder often occupying a withdrawn position as a deep-lying playmaker and is described as a "fierce and strong tackler". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Matuidi beyond his club denying any interest from us i've yet to see any real connection to him. He's linked today in the Journal if you mean connection as in press reports? anything concrete or just building on what his chairman said ? Douglas says Matuidi interest confirmed by 'club sources' but who knows whats really going on. Could just be a name to placate the fans... Douglas works for the club, so I wouldn't be surprised. I know you seem to hate him but he reports good and bad news. He can't keep slagging the club off at every minute or he'd never get any scoops.

When I saw him for West Ham he looked good and wondered why we weren't in for him in January. But his knee worries me still. Fair enough if we've got clauses regarding this in the contract but it still doesn't help us if we're one striker down come November... Obviously serious injury can happen to anyone but its still a little worrying.

That's a fair offer, if true. One year extension. The Sun said it was £10k increase, £500k bonus for top 10 finish and 3 year deal both could be true then. decent deal aswell. It is pretty much the same - Journal says 5/10k (can't remember which) increase with bonus based on finishes (not specifically mentioned) and a 3 yr deal

I think Mark Douglas said something along the lines of because of his age he want be announed till 1st of July or something.

Mehdi? Arguably not first teamer but he'll probably be in and around the squad.

The Journal says he was offered a three year deal on 50k per week by us.

Season before last he had a better shots to goals ratio than Gameiro.

I thought better about posting that, which shows how low you've stooped.

Badwillie?

Martinez seems like a decent manager to be fair, I can't see a massive manager heading to Villa at the moment, despite still being an attractive job. Neither O'Neil or Houiller were massive names.

Left a boy and came back a man Like something from a film. As Dave says though, get him.

Mark Douglas seems to think we're gonna try for a nippy striker like Gameiro AND and target man.

Douglas tweeted that we want a pacey forward AND a target man

Was he one of the loanees?

So you were 11/12 when watching Ronaldo play his season with Barcelona, a player you consider yourself an authority on? That's fair enough, but hardly a position to have a go at others who compare the two.
