I stayed for that 1 (it was my turn to drive!)

Zidane (the only 1 I know for certain), Pele, Rummige (German goal machine), Brehme?

I can see this thread being reopened around every transfer window for at leaset the next 5 years (if he doesn't go before then!)

Please dispose of this thread - quickly!

I missed Beckford vs Bolton as the driver on the day had one on him and demanded to leave 85th min before a 2hr drive home - similar to leaving at 1-3 vs Man.Ure... we'll learn 1 day!!!

Micky Quim added a bit of meat on what he knows (or doesn't) today... he said the banks aren't giving us money as noone on our board is willing to do so either - so we're either stuck with criminals who are going to just kill us or they're no longer putting in as they expect to be selling soon? He did mention there are rumours going round about JP McManus interest and although didn't put his own opinion to it, he mentioned he's a huge sports fan and often goes to Man.Ure/Shite matches. He also mentioned Arteta deal was set-up after Blackburn game and we let it drag to get more money out of the deal. When asked if any of that money would be available in Jan he acknowledged that £15m had been raised and didn't know what would be available in Jan. He says he's got inside sources but Talkshite prides itself on speculating so read with a pinch of salt!

Going mad over a J.P.McManus take-over deal on the back of something Micky Quim said on Talkshite!

Long shot based on how close it ended and 2 points for a win - could they have say 18 or 19 wins and it's a record amount of wins for a relegated side?

Ridiculous amount but to be fair up to 18months ago he had earned those wages - has/had been an excellent Moyes signing.

With the Turkish deadline not until monday I still think he will go.

GK: Howard/Mucha RB: Neville/Hibbert LB: Baines CB: Jagielka/Distin/Heitinga/Yobo RM: Coleman/Baxter LM: Drenthe/Gueye CM: Fellaini/Rodwell/Osman/Barkley ACM: Cahill/Bilyaletdinov F: Saha/Denis/Anichebe/Velios To be fair we have a decent squad but if we get injuries in key areas it will be tough. Luckily we have a fair few versatile players within the squad. I can see certainly McCaleny (sp) and maybe players like Mustafi, Garbutt, Femi Orengu (sp) and Wallace called upon, at least as bench fillers this season.

Take a bow son!

This!

Welcome back dave (I love you!) I like this new dave... You've got more attitude than Beyonnce. You're bad brother...

How do you know we didn't try to sign him? It was a little late to move on considering deal was announced at 11pm last night!

Come on photoshop king - give him an Andi Peters smile!!!

Happened to me too (I chose some odd names!!!) Beagrie, Amokachi, Ferguson (x5), Collins, Dacourt, Cadamarteri, Jeffers, Nyarko, Rooney (signed).

See Drenthe on SSN? Looked delighted to have signed!!!

Ha ha! If he's in a blue shirt and he's leading the line he's got my full support. I've not booed a blue before and I don't plan to either!

Anichebe has played as a lone striker in the last 2 games so like it or not, he's a serious option.

I kind of love him after reading that but am scared!!!

Maybe in some departments but where's our creativity if Osman's not on the pitch?

If saha doesn't stay fit then moyes needs to play another of his strikers not just cahill or felli up top. Felli can't go anywhere for now (until Jan!) We play 1 striker and we have 4 options in Saha, Anichebe, Denis and Velios - I hope Saha stays fit and Denis is a lot better than Anichebe. I can see Velios getting some game time this season which doesn't disappoint me as I have been encouraged by what I've seen.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, Everton is the team to follow, And there's nobody better, Than Royston Drenthe, He's the best little Dutchman we know!

All the best Mikel - would have prefered you to return to Spain but hey. I too hope he flops but still respect all he's done for us - but he's not one of us anymore! (will clap him when they come though).
