Vinny Jones to shore up the defence and Fashanu up front to replace Sergio.

We will win the lot next season.

We're signing Vinnie Jones

Barcelona turning down 100m for Messi 6 months ago could quite possibly be the worst business decision made since Gerald Ratner decided to open his mouth in public...

Who offered them that?

We most definitely would have paid that fee if we'd have been allowed. No question.

Knowing he'd be a free agent in 6 months? Not so sure. Maybe last summer

Doubt we will ever know for sure but at least we've got this window to keep us going! :-)

These are professionals, not Sunday league players trying to get in on the same team. They will do whats best for their respective careers and family.

He isn't excatly short of money and the reduced wages are not going to be above minimum wage either

Part of the reason he isn't short of money is that he doesn't play for less than market rates
