I don't rate him but he's an improvement over what we have beyond Ben Arfa. I think with £10m we have shown we could do better. Why am I even discussing this when he hasn't been linked?

Took the decisions which he "thought" were best, then pointing out the objectives he failed to successfully complete.. definite swipe at him.

I would hope we have a short list of players we could make a move for if any of ours leave. Cabaye isn't irreplaceable, it would just cost money to get equal or better quality in.

Good news. Hope a club that can afford him that are closer to home for him don't come in for him though. This could get nasty if he decides he wants to strike or act unprofessionally, but I don't think he will.

What are they upto out there?

6 foot 3 I do recall. This talk of a £100k a week deal to go to West Ham is daft like.

No idea what Sammy's future looks like, really could go other way. I think he'll prove to be useful in spells. I just wouldn't like to see us having to rely on him. Another season out on loan and then go from there, I don't think he'll be quite ready even the season after the coming one.

Would like to see him manage again somewhere. I wonder if he gets many job offers when positions become available. I do still like the bloke and I'm very grateful for what he has done for this football club. He loves the game and likes to see it played in the right way, it's hard to dislike him.

Same with coaches and managers.

Sounds absolutely embarrassing, but totally expect that of Souness.

City don't have to operate in the real world and worry about resale value. If he helps to win them a few league titles and they progress further in Europe, it's a successful transfer.

Definitely sounds like it's worth picking up. How true some of it is is another question, however.

Can remember playing with Rui Costa and Kaka as AM's behind Shevchenko on PES4 or 5. Definitely one of the best midfielders I've seen, his technique was phenomenal.

So there has, potentially, been a mackem in Milan?

Hatem Ben Arfa.

Any transfer policy will have flaws in it. There is a need to assess each given situation and be flexible towards it if it warrants. I respect the need to be thrifty, but there is also a need to compete. Last summer was a farce.

Although we would have been weakened back then. Fuck this, me and Sissoko are going back to the day you were born and drowning you in a bucket.

I'd take Danny Simpson (technically still our player) and trade him for Woodgate in 2003.

It's one thing defenders finding an attacker out, it's another actually stopping them. Give Cisse service and he will score, he's shown that.

He keeps giving the press things to write about, the berk.

Signed a one year extension with Chelsea the day after the Europa League final.

Sssshhhhh.

It's a smart kit, it just doesn't seem right for England though.

Po-tay-toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

I can't say that when someone mentions Shay Given now that I am particularly bothered by him. It's more of a "oh yeah, he used to play for us, didn't he?" He moved on, so did we. Pat on the back for all the great games he had for us.
