LFEE

I think he’ll be a good addition for this season. Would like a purchase option as with the Atsu deal and review it in the summer.

RIP - very sad One of the very best - Came across as a great bloke - in the Sir Bobby mound Excellent co-commentator.

That's mental. Has Roman cut the cash? Yes. They’ve a new stadium to build and Wembley rent to pay also for 2-3 seasons.

Still makes me smile

If only refs acted like this 15yrs ago then the game would be a lot more honest.

Friday. Usually around 1pm. Not Thursday?

We're nowhere near favourites for relegation are we? Have you seen the table? We are in the mix along with several teams who you can see trying to strengthen their squad. Will we? I know all that, but we're not favourites. Who are then and why?

Posting this. Might be Giggs. Well either way it is

He’s been one of our very few brightest lights this season. Arguably looked better than he did last season.

Love Mick

Looking likely.

Tbf some of us have been suggesting that as far back as September on this board, if only to keep his dead ball delivery in the team. It’s something I’d like to see given a try. When I saw the team sheet against Stoke I thought that was how we were going to go.

The only crumb of comfort is there hasn’t been much movement from anyone yet in this window.

The daft thing is he said as much in his first interview.

We were despite the quotes. I think FS’ son was an agent and worked for them at the time and they even had an office at SJP. No chance Rooney was coming here. Sir Bobby at the time knew what was going on and didn’t like it one bit. Maybe one of the reasons why he was sacked... That’s how I remembered it. As we are talking about the ones that got away we apparently in for Fernando Torres at Madrid but went for Owen instead

Fair enough. Always thought at the time we were doing Paul Stretford a favour smoking Man Utd out.

Possibly. Rooney bid was sizeable also whether it was real or not I’m not so sure.

Yep great game. That and Arsenal Man Utd and Arsenal Chelsea along with today my top 4.

Every day of the week, but it’ll never happen No way his wife is leaving London. She blocked the Everton move also.

I believe £55k was the most he was on. I always thought Owen was on £105k and Shearer had it in his contract he’d always have parity with the highest earner so therefore he went up to £105k also when Owen signed.

It's a major priority along with a striker. Ridiculous if people are fine with Elliott and darlow. In fairness it’s probably from a mindset that we’ve little to no money to spend so of all the positions GK falls behind a 9,10 and possibly even a 4. That and Reina is way past his best.

I wonder what sort of striker we could get in return for that sort of money? A fairly s*** one I'd have thought. We could get Hernandez if we throw a few mil extra in. Can’t think of a more ill suited striker to fit our team. Leave well alone. His race is run.

In fairness that first half was like a dog with fleas.

It’s been said on numerous occasions that it won’t be a Man City style ownership.
