awesome new dn deems

AA+

a bit fuckin late mind!

You need my helping hand, it's ok

Can ILF resign boxall please?

never really left but flattered to be missed I guess!

of the QPR squad, suppose Arsenal could most use that midfielder rtc loved (Diakité?) but the one I really liked was Alejandro Faurlín. Didn't follow him in Serie A but if he came back from that injury fully, I thought he was a very good passing midfielder. Just as long as the awes Armand Traore doesn't return.

Whats going to go down with wigan's bigger names? Surely not beyond the realms of possibility that they talk a good-ish number into staying for a crack at europe and the hope of going straight back up. Money will obvs be an issue, but I don't think they have many players on bigotry

Bigotry = big money of course, fuck iPhones etc etc

now if only you were talking about liverpool

There'll be a big bunfight over Callum McManaman probably, no idea where will be the first stop on his inevitable route to becoming the new Adam Johnson.

Man city would be a start. Though perhaps moving to citeh won't be such a dead end for wingers now that Mancini has gone and they might actually be in with a chance of
getting played.

Mcmanaman feels like a vaguely Liverpool-ish sort of player, but they've got thing elsewhere that need fixing.

Kone and McCarthy have got to be on their way out of Wigan though. Kone would be fun at everton I reckon, though it won't happen

Liverpool would be quite amusing, as if having gone over a decade without any good young wingers they suddenly start trying to stockpile every single one that becomes available. But he'd probably actually develop in a sensible way under Rodgers, ditto under Laudrup. The worst case scenario would be Newcastle or West Ham or somewhere.

as if newcastle will sign him!

bit early for a mcmanaman bunfight, screams everton though especially if martinez goes there. maybe west ham, or fulham even. rodgers has wing forwards aplenty what with sterling, suso, ibe, sinclair etc and city will have bigger fish to fry with isco and jesus "sigh, sickening eyes" navas

figueroa, beausejour look a bit fulham too. spurs squad filler once but probably no longer

actually i think macca 2 could be quite good at liverpool cos they can still be diffident and he is lol fiesty but if there's only so much to spend it's certainly the least of priorities

Macca 2 an everton youth reject

Fulham are a weird club, like there's a sense that literally any player in the league might turn up there at some point. Figueroa next year, Edin Hazard in nine years time.

lfc need to bite the bullet and flog reina to barca now cos they wont get a better chance

valdes to monaco? should be arsenal really but yeah right

Alright maybe not Giggs or Gerrard or someone but anyone who might conceivably be involved in a transfer.

sticklebrick to replace schwarzer is the long mooted fulham talk iirc

Fulham are the 5000 seater midwest arena gig of pl clubs, if you're good enough to have made it that far then you're good enough for a better gig but somewhere you fucked it up.

I can see Billy Corgan making an impact at Craven Cottage.

they'll be clearing rowboats off putney high street for weeks after the epic sigh darren bent will let out as he arrives at the cottage to sign a 2 year deal

lol mdc was that a "powerful white energy" gag

Mou out?

yeah, it's official

I half-expect him to mutually frot with Chelsea for all of June, then join City

Would be amazed if City weren't basically waiting outside his house right now.

From The Guardian

Gareth Bale to sign new Tottenham contract worth £150,000 a week

• Forward committed to Spurs for the near future
• Real Madrid will have to wait at least one more season

Gareth Bale is poised to commit his immediate future to Tottenham Hotspur after agreeing improved terms in principleto remain at White Hart Lane despite the club's failure to get to the Champions League. The deal is expected to include a release clause for bids over £50m that can be triggered at the end of next season.

although they haven't exactly been reliable on matters Bale in the past

while I know very little of Pellegrini, he & City seem like an exceptionally boring combination

why the fuck wd we have to pay compensation to Millwall for Kenny Jackett, i thought he'd resigned?

yeah apparently he wangled himself some sort of lol contract where they still have to pay him a years notice

can't see us stumping up that sort of cash tbh

Utd coming from two nil down to beat Spurs in the U-21 final :)

almost as magical a comeback as West Brom

or Arsenal since March

Not really relevant to this thread, but here's a Guardian article about David Beckham from 1996:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/from-the-archive-blog/2013/may/16/david-beckham-retires-manchester-united

well behind Giggs, the Neville brothers and Butt in public recognition

idk

Letting him go in a year for 50m and paying him 7.5m for the privilege doesnt seem a very levy deal. Off with him now for 60m if he insists on any such clause.

Really great interview, that. He was on Second Captains a while back, all the stuff about Moyes's secret room is really interesting.

Like, his record in the transfer market at Everton wasn't flawless was it? Not that he didn't make some great signings.

Nothin like flawless, just that he spent very little on a lot if good players, and tended to keep them around. The dozens he spent nothing on and didnt make it could be moved on no fuss. The few big signings that didnt work could be balanced maybe against the guys he developed. But id not say his transfer record was better than good.

Yeah that's an excellent piece.

Yeah I'd agree with that Darragh. I'm only being harsh on him in the context of trying to rate this system he seems to have.

Like, his record in the transfer market at Everton wasn't flawless was it? Not that he didn't make some great signings.

I think that could be applied to most good to average managers.

Yeah probably fair. Fergie had a pretty great record, high-profile flops and all but so many amazing purchases.

his notable weakness was strikers, plenty wasted on shit like beattie, johnson, beckford, and an inability to prolong the form of yakubu and jelavic

and that was ferguson's notable strength through the years with a very small number of exceptions like new batistuta dong fangzhuo

owen being typically complaisant towards the imbecile hart

He currently rotates with Pablo Zabaleta in competition for the right-back berth at the Etihad, but has made just two appearances this season - including a surprise start in the 3-1 loss against Bayern Munich.

Richards is happy competing with the Argentinian, and is paid around £65,000 a week. However, Newcastle could offer a significant financial incentive to move to St. James' Park.

Such a Newcastle player.

slightly disturbing that ashley/kinnear will offer a significant financial incentive to someone already on £65k and who has hardly played for 18 months

i think it would be best for him if he could be played as a cb though, too cumbersome for fullback

yanga-mbiwa seems to be the rancid marrow in their january window abel and cole clearance box too

hey I use them ruining my punk as fuck cred there I guess

how did you cook your yoann gouffran

Pardew went on: ‘You're talking about a high level (Premier League).

‘We've got fantastic players at our football club and is he better than the ones we've got?

‘I was a bit like ‘hmm, not sure’. I think (Andre Villas-Boas) was a little bit like that as well.

‘But fair play to the lad, he's come into Tottenham's team and done terrific and now he’s made that extra step which is great for England and Spurs in particular.

‘He brings a 'nothing to lose' character to the pitch.

‘He was a massive bonus the other night.’

Turan has now committed to the club until 2017, and has spoken of his personal joy at remaining with Atletico, where he says he feels part of a family at the club.

“I am delighted to have signed a contract extension with Atletico Madrid. I feel like I’m part of a family here,” he said.

However, his agent has hinted that the Premier League is still on the agenda for Turan, whose signing of a new contract has seen his buy-0ut clause with the club rise to over £30m, which may be a ploy simply to make more money out of his sale if top English clubs come calling for the Turkish international again.

“Arsenal and Liverpool? A destination in the Premier League would be to the liking of the player and I can confirm there are clubs interested, like the two mentioned,” his agent said.

The next one. Always the next one.

“Mario wants to leave Milan in January,” Mino Raiola told The National.

“I don’t know where he will go, but we will look at different options.

“Chelsea is an option, but there have been no real offers and I cannot say anything.”
