This is the same Heitinga that a large section of Blues fans voted player of the season not 2 years ago. He was limited to few chances last season because Daveys top boy(Jags) was fit again and Heits just lost his place. I actually think his game maybe more suited towards Martinez style of play, id like to see him stay till at least January and see how it goes for him, Heitinga does have something to offer imo.

Heitinga wants out, when on-form he's brilliant and dare I say a Martinez type player but he's got his mind made up, one more big move in Europe before his swan song back at Ajax. I like him but he had a poor season overall, maybe part of that is to do with not being in favour, maybe because of the rumoured broken down move last summer, regardless with 12 months to go on his contract we need to sell ASAP (unless he wants a 2yr contract extension on lower wages!!!)

Going on holiday in six days and my wife goes through her wardrobe and announces she has "nothing" to wear and I need to take her shopping .

Nivarna - Incesticide

clever idea!

Not imperative? Gotta say its the area we most need changing

Its about talent - we simply do not have the right corporate minded talent at our club, very much reactive and behind other clubs. We used to be pioneers, now we are very slow moving sheep. Its run like a Lewis's big name local comunity department store, whilst Man United is being run like Marks & Spencer. We know what happened to Lewis's

I agree. I think I might just bugger off the rumour pages until something is confirmed before I lose all faith.

Kone is not a modest price at all. And for £5m/£6m he better be a regular starter! I will be devastated if we buy Kone tbh, it's what we paid for Mirallas!

Very disappointed. They only answered six questions before pulling the plug. That in itself answers questions to me. They still don't want to be open about anything, they still won't accept criticism, they still aren't good enough.
 
Bills attitude, it just makes me mad. I was hurt by what happened so I took my train set home and put a pad lock on the door.

Careful, you will have people saying it was an improvement on the last deal...

bores the absolute shite out of me

Let me make it easier for you J, 'Id take HIM' is only going to lead you down one road mate, as displayed by Mr paulo

I don't know anything about him to be honest - only that he does the occasional piece of skill and it ends up on YouTube. I'm not too sure that Martinez's targets for Wigan should be the same as his targets for Everton.

He's such a dreamboat, isn't he?

Ah, I see. Mark is confused. I thought it was me for a minute there.

Confusing draw with drawer, just like our and are, where and were, there and their. Even anythink and anything, does my head in. As does wrong use of "quotation marks". Learn English bitches.

It is just a fact, we are not as popular around the world as a lot of other premier league clubs. We haven't made enough of the premier leagues global appeal IMO.

I'll go for 13-0 in Spain's favour.
 
Robbie Savage is very annoying though, he keeps going on about a World Record being set (currently Australia 31-0 American Samoa).

Only Torres could score two goals in the first half and manage to look mediocre.

Nigeria were very poor against them and won 6-1. I think that Spain will hit double-digits. I'll say 14-0.

Best of the rest tbh, unless we can find a real gem in the transfer market that sets the season on fire(like a striker that can't stop scoring for instance)

Unless there is significant investment I just cant see it

Can't agree with that. I think our back 4 is one of the best defensively and offensively, around.
 
The problem lies in front. Scoring more goals. For the first 8 games, we had the best shots/chances created in European football (ahead of Barca) but didn't finish them. Yes, we didn't hold too many clean sheets either but i put that down to two things. 1. Howard 2. Brain farts.
 
I think Martinez knows that we have a good thing at the back, i'd be very surprised if he changed it.
 
At Wigan, he had gash players, who's back 4 would get decimated on a regular basis, he tried something different to manipulate the opposition. Sometimes it worked, others it didn't.
 
I for one don't fear he'll change it. We've got too much of an obvious "good thing" to change.

I tell you what, if Marc Barta is as any good as he is on football manager then we should defo get him NOW. If not then screw him ;-) haha
