alera said:All I am seing is a completly stagnant market. Clubs seem terrified by the moves Real and City are making and the implications for transfer fees and wages.
A wait and see approach and what we have we hold in regards to the best players seems to be the order of the day.
I mean there is virtually no activity at all with premier league sides at the moment. That will change in time it always does, I am still surprised by the complete lack of activity going on at the moment with the Rags, Villa, Spurs, Chelsea, Sunderland and obviously us all meant to be heavily active this window.
Fuck all going on at the moment !
We are going to be much stronger than the end of last season squad and first team wise. And be in a much better position starting the season as a consequence. Plus Hughes is properly bedded in full pre season with most of the squad,
Thats all that matters really. Also its a massive benefit not having to take part in the Europa 2 bob league IMO.
As we found out last season complete waste of time Its champions league or nothing as far as I am concerned in europe. The Europa league is the carling cup of Europe..
18 matches last season and we only played a couple of big decent sides. Completely burned out our players. Very glad we can be focused on the league and domestic cups this season....
He seemed quite keen for us to sign Henry over Eto......MMMMMMMMM age, loyalty to Arsenal, not wanting to be near his ex-wifeKevcod said:As for the Midfielder to unlock defences bit - he's probably got one on his books he's trying to sell us !

Silkman maintained he didn't think Ireland was the part. Silkman is a f*ckwit of a 'stratospheric' order.
I was screaming at my radio when he said that "WHAT DO YOU CALL STEVIE IRELAND KNOBHEAD
im still seething now - what an idiot he said "city are only buying strikers" wrong - "they dont have anyone creative in midfield who can unlock a defence" wrong GRRRRRR
why do radio shows invite "experts" who clearly havent got a clue - I cant think of any player id rather see behind the strikers more than superman - then there is the squad depth of elano
Ireland is not a knobhead, too much abuse on here

I think that we will sign all of the main players we are linked with. Tevez, Eto'o, Terry & Lescott all on the same day and it is just Eto'o that is holding up the proceedings trying to get his "golden handshake" from Barca.
What do you guys thinks?
charlie smudgeboots said:I dont really want Terry. But how good would it be to be a fly on the wall in Gary Cooks office when Hughes is asked to pop in to discuss his transfer targets.
I have a sneaky suspicion the club are using certain bids for players to create a smokescreen in the press, so they can get on with persuing the players Hughes really wants.

I was thinking "why are we making fools of ourselves going for these players whos clubs/or the players themselves don't want to come to us?"
But I'm starting to think like you, We may just be doing things like this BECAUSE WE CAN, just to show the "Establishment clubs" that we'll do what WE want, not what they want.
I have my worries that Mr Cook is a bit too "American" in his dealings, but our owners are no fools.
They know business and don't do things for the approval of others.
I LOVE IT !!!
