whatevers in their acedemy that bruce didn't pawn off to get gyan

is healy still there?

I'm a moany old bastard right enough, but the last thing the Premier League needs is for Abramovich to go bonkers again. With Liverpool, Newcastle and Villa turning themselves round I could see next season being cracking, but if things carry on as they are the Top four will be miles ahead. tbh this was inevitable, as soon as chelsea look half dodgy for cl place roman gets the chequebook dusted off (not to much effect yet but my lord they could be busy monday) the new order is establishing itself after liverpools fall from cl and city will settle in and once again the top 4 are untouchable

times tomorrow is saying liverpool rejected a 35m bid for torres from chelsea

same crowd that broke the hba deal there? hmm didn't think we'd go into business with om again so soon Hope it isnt true and we know it means only one thing we're building up the squad

and hes got his first death wish bit of an overreaction

1st time in years where we've been kinda solid and on course to achieve the seasons goal though which has probably affected the thinking as to why pay shit loads for average players

so arsenal make 8 changes vs wigan over christmas and draw but thats all ok as far as prem is concerned but blackpool make changes witchhunt from the premier league? they put in the 25 man squad rule and are they now saying sorry but your players are too shit to play in the prem?

oh ian going to resign now?

bill gates confirmed as having bought nufc and first act was to buy in messi and ronaldo............ well i can have my vague delusions

good shout tbh

why would neville who at this stage of his career seems fairly happy at everton up sticks for spurs where he may not even be a starter? and above all else why the fuck would arry actually spend money on a 34 year old

hmm suppose things like that can happen but by all accounts it seems hes on course to play in march which is good

i shall clutch those straws with you

bless their delusion

Jesus christ. Shall I? Or Brummie? O'Neil was deemed (and rightly so) to have wasted a lot of money on high wages for players who weren't really doing anything. He was told to get rid of some of these players before he could have any more money. He also, apparently, went to Lerner and had this conversation: MON: "I want to sign Aiden McGeady" RL: "What sort of price are we looking at?" MON: "Whatever it takes" Poor, wronged Saint Martin. Ha. I'll stand corrected. Didn't realize those were the players he was spending on. Sometimes it's tough to get the whole story over here in the States. That being said, I think the guy can flat out manage. Maybe not as good an evaluator of talent though? From the outside - and brummie feel free to correct me -, MoN's player cycle looked like this: 1.Buy player of average ability for a non-average price 2.Player of said average ability naturally performs averagely 3.MoN feels betrayed by the averageness and chucks the player into the pits of oblivion 4. Go to 1 He seemed to have an obsession with fullbacks in particular. 2008: buys Shorey (LB), Knight (CB) and Curtis Davies (CB) - total 18m 2009: buys Warnock (LB), Dunne (CB), Collins (CB) - total 18m, to replace the players he'd bought the year before. In with all that, he'd also bought Cuellar for 7m, and having not had a RB for two years, he buys Luke Young for twice the amount he could have had him for when he went to Boro, AND Habib Beye to fill that role, but ended up playing Cuellar, an out of position centre back there. Some of the players, like Sidwell, Shorey, Harewood (FFS) he bought then immediately decided he didn't fancy, so didn't bother using them. See also Beye. Of those players, we're currently trying to nigh on give Davies away, Shorey went for fuck all, Beye is a 33 year old with 2 years of a 40k a week contract left to run, Sidwell went for fuck all as, after three years of coming on for 10 mins at the end, he was out of contract, Harewood ran his contract down, and Reo-Coker's contract is also up this summer - having been ostracised for over a year by MON. So that's 8.5m we spent on him, and he's walking away for nowt In many ways, he is a very good manager indeed, but he has two failings. One is his transfer policy which is short sighted (UK based players only, ALL of them except Carew and Guzan) and half arsed (we had a scouting network which consisted of ONE MAN - Ian Storey Moore). The other is his tactical cluelessness. It's great counter attacking away from home, but when you're at home and a team doesn't want to be broken down, it doesn't work, so for two years we just whacked crosses into the box all day long. He'll get teams to 6th - 8th with money to spend, but to get beyond that, you absolutely must have a great deal of tactical acumen, and he doesn't. but try saying that to the likes of winter with their tongue firmly connected to saint martins rear and they'll call it bitterness from ungrateful villa fans

bring in ac jimbo!............... we all know its going to be jamie redknapp replacing grey and the other dude from monday replacing keys don't we
