So why include Routledge, he wasn't going to be in the first XI.

They had that Swedish keeper as well who played for a bit, but did pretty badly. Think he went to PSV.

Aye. It was a rhetorical question in response to SUPERTOON, but thanks He can, but I wouldn't say he's a natural winger and is better used in CM.

Defoe's already said he wouldn't come here, the cunt. Finding it rather hard to begrudge any player who doesn't want to join us, if I was a player with no connection to the club then we'd be very fucking far down my list at the moment. Agree, 100%.

Marveaux, Jonas and Ben Arfa (lesser extent) are all wingers, aren't they?

Yes, you do know what position Barton plays for us don't you? Er aye, the right side of midfield. I'm sure Ben Arfa, Jonas and Marveaux could all play on the right side. Routledge gone is no big loss seaming as we were never going to play him and he's not goof enough for the Prem. He is a loss in terms of numbers but nothing else. I'm sad to see the back of Nolan but I'm sure with Cabaye and Ben Arfa we have cover for the "hole" Nolan spent most of his time in. Im sure they all could play there, im sure we could play any player there wether or not they are any good is a different question. Going into the season with no proven right midfielder is suicidal. We did exactly that last season. We have players on the books this season who are more proven as right midfielders than Barton was at the start of last season. I'm not saying we don't need a replacement if Barton goes, because I think we do. But that statement is just stupid.

Class

Midfield in : Marveaux Cabaye Midfield out : Barton Nolan Routledge Are we just disregarding Abeid?

That's all he ever does, isn't it?

Bad, but predictable news.

What was he having done? A tattoo, he just said.

Anyone else notice that Shane Ferguson is the only 4.0m midfielder available? Wor Sammy isn't available either, I'm devastated.

Get the fuck in

Next big thing in world football.

Signed for Roma, unfortunately... Oh really? Well based my FM knowledge tells me he'll be a good signing for them.

Erik Lamela. This suggestion is based entirely on FM, mind.

Very like for like

Been offered a lift to this so think I might go, even though I'd have to be sitting in the Leeds end

So true

For what? Nothing you do will change his mind. As Dr Venkman said, the only factor that will effect his decision is revenue, and that won't be stopped.

I'm sure writing a letter will stop any plans that they have.
