Agreed, total horseplop (seems to be a popular word on here atm ) If we don't know by now if he's good enough, one more game won't make any difference. Journo's man

Quality

This is GOOD

Bullshit and utter drivel. Carroll with backing and confidence is unplayable. 8 mill max and Best better ffs. Sometimes I wonder if people suffer from acute amnesia. I`d love to have him back and I believe he can become a true great if he digs his heels in and takes fotball seriously. Heaven or hell its all up to you Andy. He is barely in his twenties and already one of the most physically dominant strikers in the league while binging every weekend, add to that he is just 180 lbs and 6`2. Imagine with a proper diet and cardio/weights training. Could easily become the next Christian Vieri. He has a better chance of becoming the next Christian Dior than the next Christian Vieri.

Fuck Agger Fuck Lescott Fuck them both I say

Unbelievable how time flies. Rest in peace Sir Bobby. Really think he'd be delighted at how things are going for us at the minute Shame he didn't get to see it :'(

So if we buy him back, we pay ourselves a 25% cut of our own transfer then? Must be some sort of tax dodge

It was a great finish against the Spuds too

think Tav is ready to step up as back up RB I've not seen enough in competitive games to comment but as with all youngsters sending him out on loan and ensuring he gets 90 mins under his belt each week will do wonders. He impressed at the Heed and Sheff Wed so get him tested in the CCC, comes back in Jan and take it from there if Simpson has by then left. Still got Raylor like and although I like him as a pro the further he is away from full backs slots the better. Don't forget Perch Good idea to keep Simpson till January though, doubt it would make a massive difference in the fee we get. Was going to post that earlier, is there a chance he might just stay for the last year and run his contract down? Strangely, wouldn't be against that if I'm honest (if MD signs)

Me too, but i do feel in some games Marveaux offers more going forward and in a creative sense. Not to detract from the point though, because Jonas offers so much but not just in a work rate sense, he is very good at intercepting passes and starting attacks with quick, incisive passers. In short he's perfect for the role next to Tiote in a 4-3-3. I'm happy with both of them and it's nice to have 2 fantastic options competing for a spor, but both offering different things to the team. As for back up options to Debuchy i'm not concerned about that, we have Perch and Tavernier who is ready to step up to the plate IMO and if it gets really bad we could always put Santon at RB and play Raylor, Ferguson at LB etc etc. Apart from back up CB and CF options i'm happy with the squad across the board. For me, that's why getting Debuchy in is so, so important. IMO we're close to getting a really good blend of a squad now (still think we are a few short) but the options I can see in multiple positions is getting pretty sexy tbh. Can see the personel for four or five different set ups now, none of which look lopsided or compromised. I'm seeing round pegs for round holes up and down the pitch. Getting excited now, the "season starting" itch is well underway.

Was at the Spurs game when Colo scored Little twat Lennon scored right in front of me though Should have beaten them. Ho-hum

Must say, I love a bit of Jonas me, really like his workrate, industry and has a lot to offer going forward. Seems like a top lad too.

Just read he scored one and set up the other for them in that game. He'll be a big miss.

I'd second that tbf.

Have to agree - it will be the final 'weak link' in the best XI filled, which I see as: Krul, Debuchy, Taylor, Colo, Santon, Jonas, Cabaye, Tiote, HBA, Ba, Cisse. If we can get them all on the pitch together regularly, we'll be laughing. That is a lush XI, it really is, this transfer MUST happen.

No, he is waaaaay too good looking Sperminator? Actually if it doesn't happen, it'll be like getting wanked off but not been allowing to "complete" Awful

If it doesn't go through it'll be proper gut wrenching like

A real shame for the lad, seemed a descent sort given his start in life, pulled himself out of a bad situation and made good. Hope he makes a full (and speedy) recovery.

The Terminator I like that
