Jim, if you're going to post rumours at least source them.

Tuncay was awesome for Fener, but he's struggled with the pace of the EPL. He'd be another Benayoun.

Ditto. But if we had him in the team we'd be lining up something like:
-------------Torres-------------
Riera--------Silva-----------Kuyt
-------Alonso-----Gerrard-------
That's almost half the fucking spanish national team in our forward line! Do we really want to put all our eggs in one basket? Especially with Arbeloa and Reina down back aswell.

Wow. They should sign him and Crouch


Edited by avy1990: 5/6/2009 06:53:38 PM

Zigic and Crouch with a decent crosser would be a fucking nightmare for defenders.

Can we get rid of the daily mirror rumours, none of them have been even close to right yet.

Dzeko's price gets lower and lower each rumour, a quality player though and I could see him doing well at Arsenal. Madrid would ruin Young

Young wouldn't get game time at Madrid when they've got Robben and plan to have Ronaldo on the wings there.

Facepalm.jpg

They will either get Kaka, Ribery OR Ronaldo, if any. Along with Silva. They have been linked to them all but only on the condition they dont sign one of the other big money players. Fucking hhhell. :roll:



:roll: FFS! Why do I do this to myself?

FFS Jim we are sick of your line ups.

Can we make retardation a bannable offence? I hate to discriminate... ... but come onnnnnn!

Chronic displays of pure idiocy, without any 'redeemable' displays of intellectual capacity or even potential, should be outlawed. We need a constitution.

[size=6]YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!![/size]

Brilliant news. Oh god, I need to lay down. :lol:

Yeah sure, they're going to sign Kaka, Ribery, Ronaldo and Silva to go with Sneijder, Guti, Robben...fucking no chance :lol:

The indepentent's probably one of the 'more reliable' newspapers.

I believe it's called "Spam"...do it again and that's the premise you'll be sent packing under, jim. Nobody cares for your line-ups, they're normally fucking stupid, pointless and with all the originality of a "colour by numbers" book.

Smart dealing Man City, Richards for Lescott. NOT!!


Dont want Crouch back. Hes not bad but hes not good.

Cos England's climate is so different to Germany and France, basically he is just paving the way for a Spanish club to sign him.

Richards for Lescott???? WTF?

Fuck! United have sold Campbell to Hull for 6 mill. (Soccernet)

Heard a rumour that they transfer listed him but jeez, surely if SAF was willing to let him go then we will be trying to sign a forward this season, still 6 million aint bad

Those are pretty good photoshop jobs!

From Sky Sports

Gelson Fernandes wants to leave City with apparently EPL clubs like Bolton, Fulham and Portsmouth after him and Celtic has shown an interest in the past.

Phil Brown hasnt ruled out adding a second United striker to his squad as he is undecided wheter to sign Manucho who played 17 games with the Tigers last season scoring twice.

David Silva is flattered by links to Real Madrid

Former Real Madrid midfielder Zinedine Zidane has said that Kaka has already signed for the Spanish giants, the Frenchman also said he wouldn't mind if the Brazilian player were to recieve the number 5 jersey that he made famous saying "I would not be jealous"

My one isnt, he was actually wearing it, twas after the ECL when he swapped jerseys with a Barca player

Negredo and 25m or 30 straight up we should take. We could get Javi Martinez and David Silva. Alonso is good but not irreplaceable. Its hard to tell how much you can actually buy with 30m these days. I reckon Gareth Barry went for cheap but then you get these ridiculous offers like 56m for Kaka. Im not sure. Id love to keep Alonso but if the right offer comes along..
