wtf was that from Benitez he did everything else right

We'll sign all 4 for a total of £20m but the club insider will tell the press we paid the above figures therefore theres no AC money left. Even better. Still £15m in the club then. covers there wages for the 5 years

doesn't achieve anything useful, on the young players your correct it just means more player poaching while it also means that at the big clubs that can afford it there will be a hoarding of players u21 because they don't need to be registered whereas before they might have got sent on loan somewhere or not bought at all. Also puts a ridiculous premium on English players in transfers

load of shit

Would be nice to see Newcastle shirts instead of Reading in Tipp though. I did find it odd a few years back to easily find Reading shirts in the sports shops but struggle to find Newcastle ones I'm just p*ssed off at Reading for constantly stealing our best players for sweet f*** all Dunno anywhere you can buy Newcastle shirts in Ireland anymore. Last one i saw on sale was the purple away one I think. TBF both players were too good for the LoI. Doyle yes but Long had hardly played at that point (and any sell on clause we may have had is utterly gone since technically the club that sold him to reading is out of business so fuck you reading again!) did spot last seasons shirt in Cork and got the Championship one the year before but looking around now nothing

I've decided I hate the sight of fucking Neymar

What? Aye bit of a riddle.. Sorry. I meant if we are in for long why the hell were we not in for Whickham?? Both look to be around the same price.. Long scored shit loads last season and could be said to be ready now and we need strikers now while Wickham did not score so often and is not ready now?

please just shut up Joey

this has been shit

read Bayern were interested and laughed at the story when I read it

players can improve rather dramatically for a lot of reasons, I'd like to know his record for Reading since McDermot took over since one reason may be to do with his coaching and general management of him. As for the price 10m is very steep for someone with limited top flight experience like him but doubt it will be that high anyway.

they paid sweet fuck all for him from my local club Cork City back when they got Doyle............in fact they didn't think Doyle was worth 70k so took Long as well

It would signal blatant stubbornnes to deal with Whelan IMO. Or Whelan's to deal with us, selling to us i mean. what I would think personally

Now West Ham going to sue Sunday Times.

apparently Spurs want to sign Matthew Upson which would be insane

lock him up for life!

tbh we can be reasonably certain of that without this story just doesn't seem to want to be here anymore

Sunday Times apparently carrying a story saying West Ham made secret payments to official connected to Olympic Stadium bid.

Really? Maybe it was just MOTD viewing but every time I saw them he was tripe. awful debut but seemed reasonably solid the rest of the time tbh not that i'd be overly happy with him coming

there are worse tbh

Surprised we let this guy go to be honest, good player, right attitude he'll do well. I'm not going to make any jokes about Sunderland's inevitable signing of Wes Brown until John O'Shea is at a club that isn't Arsenal. is it wrong that I think he'd be a decent squad signing for Arsenal?

........anyone else think it will be Carlton Cole.............

full time, well thats a surprise well done Bolivia
