The old Breweries building is becoming a hotel, don't know what star though.

Nah, his problem is he tries too hard.

No effort needed,just shows how clueless Mr Ryder is as a journalist and you lot on hear hang on his every word. It gives me great confidence that he said Sunderland won't sign N'Zogbia last week,great confidence. Let's just see who gets him,let's just see.

Poor effort.

I still think they lack a proven goalscorer and a bit of creativity in the middle, looking at their team they also seem to completely missing wingers too.

On the bright side he'll either flop and be a massive waste of £13m(?) or be away in a couple years if he's successful. I'd have liked for us to be in for him, but at that price there's probably better value to be found elsewhere.

Everything about him looks as though he's been stretched on one of those torture devices, even his head is really long and narrow.

That away one is nice as out!

Simple and very smart. That in black and white would've been lush.

To be fair to him, his point still stands regardless.

When's this start then?

I honestly don't think he'd even be that. £5m would be an absolute joke.

Just seen this on Twitter. http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3660/330316995.gif

I've just realised I've spelt his name wrong actually, point still stands though.

Their midfield still looks very average. Gardener, Gibson and Cattermole provide absolutely zero creativity, even if Gardener can grab a goal or two, can see Gyan and that Sess being stranded up top a lot next season. They really need to bring in a creative midfielder and a big striker, someone like Ba would've been ideal for them as there's no way Gyan can perform the out-and-out striker role, or they could be in for a scrap next season.

I've said it before but Shola 100% needs a testimonial, the way I see it he's the last player from Bobby's team (well Harper too but he rarely featured thanks to Shay) and I think a testimonial for Shola in support of Bobby's foundation would be fitting, get some of the other lads from that team down too, hell even get Carl Cort and have Shola and Cort play in each others kits. It has to happen really!

Fuck off is Shola leaving this summer, he's not even had his testimonial yet.

Looks like a father and son photo.

The only reason the mackems hate the lopsidedness so much is because we can stick them right up in the gods and for the most part forget about them whereas they've no option but to give us the best seats in the house at their place. Also, Stifler, Leazers? Really? First time I thought it was a typo but that's at least twice now.

There's absolutely no point in extending atm. If we go back to the days when we were sold out week in, week out then consider it; until then leave it as it is. Plus, as others have said, I quite like the lopsidedness and the character it brings, it's unique to SJP and is currently it's defining feature.

Mirror have linked Stoke with Sturridge for £6m. Nice to see they've just plucked a PL team and a fee out of fresh air and presented it as news.

Is there any chance he could do a Jonas and pay off the final year of his contract?

With both Sam and Hughton being employed in the Championship now, plus Leeds being reportedly interested, I'd be very dissapointed if we didn't find some way to get shot of Smith.

I bet that Mingolet's chuffed to bits with the vote of confidence he's seemingly been given. Or not.
