Why on earth would a player look better in the premier league than in league one?

The difference being of course Walcott didn't belittle us in the media or engineer his move this way.

Are they considering it to be their biggest game in the history of their club?

Which is exacty what those of us who have been called negative and so in the past have been saying all along. It is entirely realistic and possible for us to aim and become a top half club who have good cup runs and challenge for the Europa league. Its quite something different from what the self titled intelligent posters are stamping their feet and claiming that we are definitely going to make the champions league, we definitely need a 50k stadium to house all the fans who are going to come here from Cornwall every week instead of going to Old Trafford and we can definitely do it without spending hundreds of millions. The reason it's definitely possible to achieve all this? Because they said once that man would never walk on the moon or something.

So you dont think Guthrie is better than Hammond and Chaplow?? You dont think he'd be good competition with Cork and Schiniderlin and you dont think he'd be a good signing on a free? Are you sure you know anything about football sunshine? If you think that you'd better get yourself on mumsnet.

Whilst everything you say is entirely sensible and accurate you are missing a few crucial points which the self titled intelligent posters will slaughter you for, so i'm going to beat them to the punch. That is that when Charlton finished midtable they only averaged about 25k or something and we averaged more than that depsite being in the championship. Proof that we are a massive club. That we need a 45k stadium. Bigger than Everton and Aston Villa but not comparable to Leeds. Charlton dont have rich and ambitious owners who are billionaires we means we can outbid the entire combinded rest of the premier league outside of the top 4 for any player we want who are falling over each other to join us. We are marching towards the Champions league and its well within our grasp already, afterall Cortese has already achieved the near on impossible of taking us out of league one and winning the Paint Pot. Oh and did i mention we took 50k to Wembley that day? The same as Millwall and Luton have in recent season but forget that, it's more evidence that no club has a catchment area like ours does, which covers everything south of London, Birmigham up to Liverpool, that is all ours and everyone who just fancies watching a bit of football one day will travel from Ilfracombe and Truro and Yeovil and Shepton Mallet and Warwick to see the Mighty Southampton.

This is the first step on the way to the flexible, easy jet style pricing that certain posters were so keen on. This version of it gives ou acess to the Channon suite and posh toilets. Stand by for more flexible pricing offers from SFC, giving the game back to the fans.

You're kidding right? A very decent player and much better than Hammond and Chaplow. Provide some good competition for Cork and Schniderlin. Let them fight it out for the CM spots. Would be very good business to pick hI'm up for nowt.

Not Good enough for Newcastle, not good enough for us. Why do we want their cast offs when we are both pushing for the champions league FFS?

Jesus Christ Pat!!! the lad isn't in the country to sign the deal even if he was chomping at the bit too!!! Which he may well be for all we know.

I can. But I'm not going because I like sitting with my mates not a load of posh, boring JCL c*nts with no idea what is going on on the pitch.

Haha Adi Akinbiyi!! a shocker striker who once cost nearly £5m. Puts the £7m for Jay rod in perspective!

Another one that can't read threads properly. I never said we couldn't. It was dumbass that arrogantly assumed every player we bid against Swansea for will join us because we richer and the fact we charge more for season tickets proves this. I know if you've reinvented yourself as a mong board hardman recently but at least try and read and understand posts before entering a conversation with a cyber windmill.

He'd still make a decent squad player. Despite what a lot of our clueless fans think he is a good player. Hes not first choice material at PL level but definitely one who can come in and do a job in a number of positions.

David Prutton. That went well.

Curtis Davies linked for £3m, Ince linked for 2-3m = £13m not that different to what Swansea and Noriwch spent last year. Plus we have the rest of chamberlain money burning a hole in our pocket and no debt. I can us maybe spending £20m if the right players are available at the right price.

How much Is our budget Alps?

See post 672. Just saying I'd trust a view of someone I know who knows what he's on about and actually goes to games over a poster on mong board, although of course I am judging them by SWF standards of course.

I'll take my mates view over he Burnley forum. Afterall if you trusted Internet mong boards Hooliveld is the worst centre half to ever play football and if you read this one most of our team should currently be with the England squad and Antonio is the new John Barnes!

We are doing to them what Stoke did to us. Burnley are the Southampton. FACT

Nathan Dyer preferred them to us. Oh dear dumbass, you really aren't very good at this are you.

A mate of mine up north is a Burnley fan and really rates him. Scored all those goals this season despite playing in a team which created very little. Scores all types of goals and very adaptable. Can play up front on his own, as a target man or wide left/right in a front 3. Bit of pace and a good finisher. Great signing.

We could do a lot worse to be fair.

Or Michael Owen.
