i thought he looked quality at arse, he has took a big dip in form/ability by all reports though. saying that form can be turned around by the right environment, training and team mates. the last two i would say yes, finch farm, sippin back sangria with micky, but on the first though not so sure, he said he was homesick when he played in england last time and this could all happen again.

another thought, could we do a loan with option to buy deal? a try before we buy type thing has worked well with other foreign players at everton and seams like the way moysey likes to do business. as he has been on loan last season and can't get a game at atletico could this be on the cards?

*yeah like we did in the fa cup last year

have some optimism you have to beat the best to be the best

i wouldn't want to dirupt the team too much as it would take to long to gell so just a few quality signings

id have:

moutinho- just to shut up the papers and all the speculation- the thread in rumourama is 52 pages long, i'll say no more

glen johnson- try and steal the sale from chelski/liverpool, that would piss on their chips over the park!

a quality right winger to give us width which I think we lack at times, hmmm maybe ribery as this is pure fantasy

and tevez in as a striker to offer something different than yak, also better than him goin to man city

id also get loads of young talent like weve already been linked with to be understudies to the first team, ie delph naughton etc

that sounds tough.... at least we might get to play some good teams on the way to the final!!!

could be just paper shite though, and 20mil for delph robbing bastards, i live in leeds and havn't seen anything in the papers about that kind of money

he was brilliant for rangers. id like him, but if £9m is the fee i reckon you could get johnson for that, especially while the red shite have no money to buy him.

i read today chelski have put a 16mil offer in for him. rich bastards, surely thats too much

did you read the "comment of the day" at the bottom of the article?

surely should have been "retarded comment of the day", what a daft twat, haha

hes just a late bloomer

he's bloomin shit mate

"that lineup looks like a top-4!"

it also looks like an upside down christmas tree...... hope santa bill comes early this year with a joao pressent for us

bit of a non starter or trying to push the price up?

Except that he was out injured all season. Maybe we'll see him again next year.

your right we will see him next year, but he'll be wearing the blue of birmingham city unfortunately.

depends who arsenal keep/lose, they could be for the taking next season!

if they do loose adebayor, which looks likely, i think they will cope as they have edwardo coming back who looks quality and no doubt they will sign someone else to replace him who can get the goals,

if they loose wenger to real madrid i think they will be up shit creek and will fall apart

i read chelski have £50 mil to spend in the summer so would think they will recruit some new blood with fresher legs than they have now

on a tangent i also saw malouda is going to be put up for sale, wander how much he would cost.....he's looked quality since hiddink took over and has been man managed well.

so if this is the real shirt, i take it that means saha will be here next season, seams a bit of a waste of time doing a promo shot with him otherwise

hmmm the plot thickens...

maybe they know he is going to leave anyway

seams an alright bloke from what he said though

not sure, wont be much though,

we did get that 30 mil from the kit bag deal...but if moysey will see any of that i'm not sure.

each season we have beat our transfer record but can't see us doing it this summer unless there is an investor or takeover on the horizon.

oh well..

Vic- Crap.

I wouldn't mind at all if we sold Anichebe, but to be honest I can't see it happening, at least not this summer. I think right back is covered, as long as we get Jacobsen on a longer deal, and as for strikers, it would be nice to see another one come in (not Owen or Crouch), but that's not our top, top priority.

i think your right he is pretty shit and seams to be a bit of a child still if i'm honest (bust up with moysey), so getting rid could defo be best option. I did hear he might be going to cardif on loan as part of the deal for ledley. if this came off it might be best for both us and him though as he might do quite well in the championship, he is strong as he showed playing liverpool but hes not deadly infront of goal....yet? also he might come back a bit more experienced and mature. meaning we get a decent striker in a few years, and he gets time on the pitch to hone his skills. i might be well off mark here and he may prove to be a donkey for the rest of his career but its an interesting thought.

also we could get this fletcher guy from scotland fairly cheap who is at least confident infront of goal (-so therefore better than vic) didn't he almost score an overhead kick last weekend against celtic?

and though I want Jacobsen to stay , he may be our future right back ,

come september wont he be 30? getting on a bit to be our future RB isn't he

saying that i'd like to keep him for another season, if nothing more than having competition for places

"his agent has been talking, i know he is the scum of world football, but its nice to be mentioned with the worlds elite.

well we certainly have ambition, we show that through our progression each season

does anyone think we should be targeting a right sided midfielder this summer, or shift old Peanuts across and get a leftie in?

it would be a shame to break up the Baines/Pienaar partnership which has been working well of late, but as some people have previously commented on here a natural left footed player could work awesome with Bainesy.

how well do people think peanuts did on the right the other week? any potential in swapping him over there full time?

is it just me or does Howard look like a vicar in the promo shot?

looks like he has a dog collar on!

I like the pic btw Dmac

cheers efcpaul, obviously got too much time on my hands, made me laugh when i did it though

whats happened with the seamus coleman, isnt he a right back?

in the summer all reports were saying he could be the next big thing but not herd any news on him since he signed

anybody know if the lad is any good?

second that, jacobson should be given a chance to shine....we can't really judge him on one game with the first team, he seams well up for it anyway with what he's said in his interviews and admitted he's not firing on all cylinders so at least that's positive. lets hope he can show why he's an international and step up his game against wigan

You only have to look at the Arshavin transfer saga to see how player power can win, at the end of the day if he wants to leave he will and there aint much you can do about it.

gareth bary and ronaldo last summer springs to mind though....

both of them were in the press saying they wanted to leave but the managers dug their heels in and they both ended up staying put for the season. maybe something similar happened at sporting?

we could do with another right back but this guys getting on a bit!
