100% rumour but think back a few years- we were beaten to the signature of matheau flamini by arsenal.... he may be leaving on a free this summer, with him still refusing to sign up - do you reckon he'll be moysies radar? Would do a good job in our mid IMO. (maybe long-term cars replacement)...

Same team as against city - 3-0 another yak-trick!!!

Intertoto is 2 games (a home and away leg)! Doubt we'll need it but we'd be stupid not to have a fall back plan!

What happens when Everton play Arsenal chap??? A blue is for life not just for every game but arsenal!!!

That isn't him in the pic. He's a winger - wolves signed him from non-league footie a couple of seasons back, but when fit he's supposidly their best player by far (although they have 2 good young keepers, hennessy/murray). He signed a contract last summer - that's why he didn't leave, he wanted to try get up with wolves - they won't go up it's safe to say - so he may be looking for a move in the summer if he can get fit...

1-0 us. Timmy C. howard nev...jags...yobo...lescott arteta...cahill...cars...pienaar aj...yak subs...wessels...baines...fernandes...osman...vaughan maybe osman over aj...

I'd imagine the majority of our team and reserves could do that... Dutch football isn't a touch on the prem - i'm not taking anything away from the lad - he's young and first-team for a top 4 dutch side but it's a totally different league. I'd imagine VDM would star in most dutch teams.

Van Der Vaart plays for Hamburg - Hamburg want Bradley to replace Van Der Vaart.

Can't see it myself but if it did happen what's the bets there's been some dialogue like this... "we'll give you vic until the summer, as long as we get first dibs on ledley when the window re-opens..."

I do get it mate - we have just lost 4 points - what's signing some over-priced half-whit just for the sake of it going to do - would we have won both games if we had of signed a centre back or centre mid for £5m-£6m? Who did you have in mind lad?

What does moyes do? - go out and spend the money for the sake of it? - If the players moyesie wanted were available in the window I'm sure he would have bid for them. - unlike many other managers I moyes likes to keep his transfer activity quiet - I'm sure he was trying. It's no coincidence that every manager says that you pay over the odds in January - look at McFadden FFS! - Moyes has lost 2 in faddy and stubbs and gained 3 in fernandes, gardner and gosling - okay we may not see gosling (with some 1st team experience) but it's and extra body and 1 for the future. Gardner only came in as back-up after the stubbs deal - moyes said himself it was last-minute and wouldn't stand in stubbsies way (who wanted to leave - to play). Right lets say moyes went out and bought a new centre back or new midfielder - with the £5m from the faddy deal - they're not the ones he wanted they're just to please fans with a new signing - they get a run out over the next 2 games due to injuries/african nations. Come Reading match yobo/yak/pienaar return - osman/fernandes/baines are fitter after a weeks rest - new signing on the bench - was never first choice - just a stop gap to keep the fans happy. Summer transfer market re-opens - moyes has to dig into his summer kitty to sign pienaar/fernandes as the faddy money has been spent on a player who has put in some solid performance in our reserves. A bit long-winded but what I am trying to say is, if there were players who genuinely would have improved us at the right price then I'm sure moyes would have snapped them up. We've got our squad back now and we'll be alright. Let's get behind the boys - and not think the worst - we're in pole position for 4th afterall.

Is the topic called shortest or shitest?

Gardner and da Silva - is that us done?

Just seen we're trying to tie up marcus bent on loan - if we can rush that through moyes is going to try and beat midnight with an audacious swoop for titus bramble!!!

Anthony fucking gardner!!!

It is him 100%

SSN chap is now saying sketchy news from EFC maybe players on loan in and out...

Players linked who we may sign on loan then... van buyten, sidwell, albeda and least likely walcott... Oh davis/lauren - right back and def mid - would make sense!

Quote transfer geeza on SSN, "and don't forget everton - we think everton are going to do a couple of loan signings before the end of the night!!!"

What's your source lad?

howard pip...jags...J-lo...nuno art...manny...cars...leon Aj...Vic subs... wessels, baines, gravy, stubbs, JV Osman will be a smoke-screen. Bare-bones - roll on nigeria/south africa's dimise in ACON.

Disagree - when fit, he's as good as any current english defender.

Think we'll get Anthony Gardner and give stubbs away free to Derby!

You just beat me to it - shite! - now there's 2! - you're the man who can sort it though...... (I've heard).

No chance! £10m for someone we signed for £3m (plus add-ons) a couple of seasons ago seems good business, but in my opinion Joleon is our most important player. A few of our top players are getting linked away from the club and it's now we need to push on - fail to qualify for europe this season could see us lose a couple of players in the closed season (i think we will qualify - possibly even 4th, but if we don't... who knows).
