  1. Yer but the words keane spoke probly pushed over the speculation mark into acctualy being linked witht the player fairley strongly.

     

    compared to man U having a small couple of word in the papper

     

    that was my point

     

    I hate to speculate, but for all we know Keanes words could have been merely an excuse for him not signing for them?

  2. -----------------Howard---------------------

     

    Neville-------Yobo*-------Lescott-----Velente

     

    Pienaar-----Carsley*-----Cahill-------Arteta

     

    -------------Johnson----Vaughan*----------

     

     

    This would be my first choice with the team we have now, apart from Pienaar we are waiting on a permit.

     

    I suspect that Yobo will be replaced by Jagielka when Yobo goes off to compete for the African nations, but I fully expect Jags to be knocking on the door all season.

     

    If we get this Vogel character, he may replace Carsley- or atleast offer competition.

     

    Vaugan would be my choice striker, but he is obviously injured- so McFadden, Anichebe and Beattie will be fighting for his place.

  3. I'm with you on this one. I'm nottoo fussed how long the 'sagas' last as long as we getthe right plyers in the end

     

    Jagielka, Baines and Nugent would all be good signings for us I think- Although we don't want to be paying way too much like other clubs are!

     

    As you mentioned, we also need some half decent wingers! I think we really missed out by letting Tuncay go to middlesbrough, the only problem maybe being wages. We have been linked with Downing today, who I think would be good but 10 million has been mentioned which I thinks a little too much.

  4. Supposedly, we are lauching a bid for Stuart Downing. I know its not that good a source- but we havn't had that much to play with in recent weeks!

    After being linked with Tottenham Hotspur for a number of years, England winger Stewart Downing is now attracting attention from Everton boss David Moyes, keen to add some width to his Toffees squad.

     

    A cash offer of £7m plus James Beattie and Andy van der Meyde is being mooted although 'Boro remain loathe to lose a player who has come through the ranks at the Riverside Stadium and who remains an effective performer at club level, despite the criticism he has attracted in an England shirt.

     

     

    I don't lke the look of that 7 Million to be honest, and we would be losing 2 of our already small squad! Yet, we do need a left winger!

  5. To be honest, I havn't seen much of him. From what I hear is is a good alround midfielder who can score a goal or 2. I think he would be a good signing, maybe he would be replace Osman? Or if he is the all rounder I hear about- a long term replacement for Carsley? Don't know about the latter comparison though......

  6. If it was true, it sounds like a good deal to me! I think Ashton would work very well with Johnson and both can definatly score goals- although that rings a bell, didn't we say the same thing about BT and Johnson at the start of this season?!?!

     

    Anyway, I don't know why West Ham want to sell him with Tevez going to.......if I remember right, him being out was one of the scapegoats for them doing so badly last season!

  7. I'm with Adam with this one. Looks to me like Moyes has given up with him or a deal would have probebly already been reached. I remember we were linked with him about a season or 2 agao, and he was about 2 million and we didn't want to pay that. So I doubt we would go all the way up to 8 million or whatever is being quoted. I think we could find better on the market for that price!

     

    As for the Jegielka situation, I read somwhere that we were bidding just below the release clause- cause we know he wants to leave anyway! The deal has said to have been stalled by us trying now to involve neysmith in a swap deal for him.
