I still think he's going to be Barry's replacement in time, but possibly more of an attacking player. Maybe Garcia for Barry and Milner for Yaya (not identical roles obviously) - some big boots to fill for both of them though..............

Re: The plot to shackle City & Chelsea Also, we still need to get our £150m/season sponsorship from the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority - if PSG get away with that then the sky is the limit on sponsorship :D

I don't think we have the turnover still (for FFPR) to justify world class 1st team and 'european class' backups for each position. I think Bobby will be told to get a couple of genuine first teamers and reduce our backup costs (and use them less). Very few teams have (or can afford) our...

I don't see much of Spurs but would be interested if the spurs fans think Adebayor is just unlucky at the moment or if his game has gone back to what we saw at City - basically lazy and un-interested unless he feels like it. Plenty of people here (me included) said he was playing for a new...

We'd be mad not to take £9-£10m for a 29 year old CB (who will be 30 this summer). We'd probably have to spend big to get in a first choice CB to replace him but with Vinne, 'new guy', Nasty, Kolo and even with Micah as backup we'd be fine. Just the new guy would need to be top class as a...

Re: Edin Dzeko legend No matter what people say about Edin and his first touch etc - he's proved he can score goals time after time. For me we need tobe looking past Tevez going and I can't think of a much better partnership than Dzeko and Aguero. Both are instinctive goal scorers, Edin a...

We won - I decided he can stay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I reserve the right to change my mind next week :p

Re: Edin Dzeko legend I think he'll start Dzeko against "Land of the Giants" - he'd be foolish not to get an extra 6' + player in the side even if we are at home.

Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority sponsorship here we come - A smooth 150m euro sponsorship every year for the next 5 years should be in our coffers soon :D

I almost want them to win a 20th title if it means that slur alex retires. I now need to go and have a cold shower and gargle with bleach .......

FA Cup first season full season in charge and 3rd in PL PL champions second full season in charge and robbed in semi's of Carling 3rd full season - Community Shield and currently 2nd in table (7 points clear of 3rd) Only blot in his copybook, not done much in CL but we've had two bastard groups...

IMO he's not going to re-sign when he can walk on a free for a final big payday and I doubt City will be prepared to offer him a deal on the same numbers when he will be 30 in 2014. He's also going to want a 'retirement deal' with a 4 or 5 year contract and I think City would be mugs to chance...

I'm pretty sure we've got some coming up soon with some being on (relatively) big money - off the top of my head 2013 RSC - 90k Bridge - 90k MJ - 40k? Kolo - 100k? Boyata - 10k? 2014 Tevez? - 180k? Barry? - 120k? Is that it? Anyone I've missed? Roughly £600k/week, seeing as 4 of those 7...

Refreshing end to the BBC pre-match write-up of Norwich vs Rags Although, it's a sad state of affairs when this is mentioned almost as a 'normal' event.........................

The rest of the teams probably thinking "Great, we'll lay on another 24 shots for him and he might score again. Let's get the ball kicked off so we have time for it."

He's got a solid low to mid-table premiership squad there and with those players they should be in no danger of being relegated. How long is Fernandes going to give him, they will have a huge squad to pay for if they get relegated. Luckily FFPR won't count for them as it only really applies to...

For getting game time I would have thought Sunderland would be a decent shout.

Re: not long left for hughes They must have a load of players on the books over the 25 they are allowed to register. They've signed 27 players in the last 2 years (just checked) plus 9 the year before that...... They've released 16 but if you assume they had a full squad when they started they...

Doesn't matter, Clive thomas in a Brazil-Sweden World Cup match blew the whistle when the ball was in the air from a corner and disallowed a goal for Brazil about 0.5 seconds later because the whistle had already gone.

Agreed, we won the title with him being on fucling holiday for 70% of last season. Granted, he's a good player but he definitely isn't irreplacable as we proved last season, especially if we could get some cash for him and use that (plus his wages) to get a replacement. If we could get £20m...
