Re: Ribery Breaking News...... Because it ISN'T British clubs between themselves - the window is for registering players - European clubs can't register players but British teams can so transfers from European teams to British clubs are acceptable.

Re: I have just been told............. What does he offer us? Crossing ability - from the right, fair enough, but both Petrov and Bridge cross as good a ball in my opinion - and both are quicker and more direct. Petrov also offers a goal threat - Bentley might, but records suggest not on...

Your justification for signing Robben and dropping SWP is that Cappelo is off his head? Robben's an excellent player, but if people complain that Petrov can't be arsed tracking back, wait until you see Robben's defensive 'effort'. As part of a front three, he'd be a real asset but who out of...

Jesus Christ. It's frightning how fast we turn on players sometimes. All he did was ask for a bit of clarification on his role and all of a sudden, based on one translated interview he's a troublemaker. He's the definition of an impact sub and I think he'll still see a fair bit of playing...

He's the only orthodox left winger at the club. He offers the side a completely different option. Him and SWP in partnership represent as good a traditional winger pairing as there is in this league. I can see the reason why he wants to go given his age and the likely number of games he'll...

I think the reason why we were invested in was a unique piece of good fortune of being available cheap (ish), with an owner desperate to sell and excellent contacts in the international business world (unlike Ashley, it would seem) and in an area ripe for re-development where significant...

True, it probably is - though if that's an implicit criticism of City for making an approach for Lescott, it applies with equal validity to Everton for making an approach to Sheffield United for Kyle Naughton. That cuts both ways. Can't disagree here. Nor here - I don't blame Moyes at all...

Show me a popular loser and I'll show you a loser. You'd swap respect for trophies tomorrow, and you know it - oh, and when you tried (and failed) to sign Kyle Naughton from a poorer club, how were your morals different to ours? Clown.

Fine, but we don't do our business in isolation, we do it in a market where we've got to operate. That market is impacted by our ability to spend. If a team sells us a player, then they need to replace that player with money we've given them - If we bought Lescott from Everton for an...

I share an office with a county fan - he's gone from joy to dispair in a week.

He'll offer us virtually nothing on the playing side and he's hardly a Hughes - type player, so if he does turn up (God forbid) it'll say a fair bit about transfer policy. Frankly I think it's BS.

I agree that Eto'o not coming isn't the end of the world, but let's not over-compensate by making claims which are a bit daft - not least because at least 4 of those players have very patchy injury records and as a result all 8 contributed I guess 50 league goals between them last season. We...

Decent player from what little I've seen of him - quick and a decent tackler too from what I remember. Potentially another decent lower-league steal by Gollum.

For Terry's position, we should be looking at other targets anyway, and I think we probably are - Even if we signed Lescott tomorrow, if Terry decided he wanted it come I doubt we'd say no. I do think there needs to be a limit on how long we're prepared to wait, mainly because it impacts on the...

Re: Dirty Harry to bid £10 mil for Bellyache It doesn't matter if it's true or not. Redknapp will come out and say 'I'd laaaave to 'ave that Bellamy boy for the 'otspurs, but he plays for anover team, so 'eees aander contract innee'. Then he'll leave it six weeks hoping Bellers gets...

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged] ^^^ This. Didn't Alves, the bust at Middlesbore who only seemed to score against us, score a stupid number of goals in the Dutch League too? He looks a liability in the Prem.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged] Yeah, that's also likely!

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged] Or, that if the price was dropped, other Champions League teams might be able to afford him. Either way, at least it isn't a no, and has cleared up once and for all that the issues are about Eto'o and Barca, rather than us per se.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged] We'll always need to pay big money to get top players, Chelsea have been paying 120-140k a week for their top earners for years - there's nothing new in that. I do think, however we're paying a 'non-Champions League' premium to get that standard of players to look at...
