etherington is going to fulham according to reports

it's not just that though is it, it's the charlton thing also and the constant stream of players who are linked then end up at other clubs, players who we should be looking to bring in but dithering davie just lets them go to a team like fulham or the barcodes etc.

talksport have just said that we have signed him. still not on efc web-shite!

Have a good holiday mike, remember i want a full report on your underground lair when you get back

tbh, i just want us to have something to smile about, before we become the laughing stock of the league, we are supposed to be a big club.

this is just getting ridiculous, 48 hours and we hav'nt signed anyone yet, heads should roll if we don't bring anyone, Moyes can't come out with his tried and tested excuse of "we looked but nothing was there" because there have been some decent players moving around the window,and to be beaten to a players signature by charlton is just embarrasing.

blue lights can go on any stadium, think if there were blue lights across the steel girders that hold the video cube up in frankfurt, they would light up the pitch in royal blue. PS: stevo i'm wondering if we should start a new thread, we are both getting a bit carried away with this are'nt we

frankfurt's my favourite anyway.

apparently we are going to make a £2m bid today, i hope not, would be yet another waste of money i feel.

i hope your right Adam

that stadium in OZ is a beast so cheap as well.

the likes of arteta and cahill are not going to put up with long ball forever, they are better than that. that interview with atrteta the other day suggests that maybe he's getting itchy feet as it is. It would be a shame to lose players just because of the way we play.

agreed, i think we'll get battered

i know, i'm still not convinced about fernandes until it's on the site or we see him with a blue shirt next to moyes.

theres talk of some lad from hibs today a rightback, they could be waiting to see what happens with that.

but if we aspire to compete for the champions league then we need these sort of players, especially if they take the fourth place away as is being suggested by new boy Platini.

but if he proves to be as good as is being suggested, then we have to try and find the money from somewhere.

do you mean build it on stilts? clever idea, it might work.

a good transport network is essential. Public transport on merseyside is atrocious as it is.

i agree cappello and lippi are just stupid ones, but there must be others, what about Koeman?

that would be quite a feat of engineering and probably cost alot of money, but it would look fuckin amazing

ever the optimist eh Pat? Jones,Reid,Jewell surely were not that bad! are we?

not bad, bigger than frankfurt and cheaper.I just like the look of frankfurt though it's very inovative 4-way screens,underground car parks etc.

what about Co Adrihanse the dutch coach who used to be at Ajax i think he's at Porto now. the club itself could attract a top manager based on history and fans,but with finances the way they are and lord showbiz in charge i think it would put anyone decent off.Billy Davis looks as though he could be the next big thing but i would be wary about another lower division manager.

its on reuters news network also.
