You really do chat some right shiite.

It would appear that the club have shed the players they wanted to and are making a stand regarding the rest. It's a fight they simply cannot afford to lose.

And there we have it. The board have given themselves no wiggle room so let's see if they do it.

Most expected 2/3 to go but this is taking the 'kin pi22.

I haven't seen that. Point me in its direction please.

Bony is up for sale and clubs have offered the ££ to operate the release clause but his agent wants a guaranteed £80k per week as a basic before the player will discuss terms with clubs.

F**k paying that much for a game on the TV.

Easy when your spunking other peoples money. Not so easy when the tap is turned off. Think some of you are convinced that he was spending his own cash.

2 years ago I was on holiday in France with Morgans agent (really nice bloke for a blood sucking parasite) . I can tell you now that Morgan's on way, way more than £10k.

Someone on here, I can't remember who, mention some time ago that it would be no accident if those players with "highest paid at the club" stamped on them were sold hence SRL, Lallana & Lovrens going. Shaw I think we all accept was going anyway. Chambers, it would appear, has been feted by Arsenal for at least the last 3 years. It's what we do now, to rebuild, that shows us our true direction.

Average salary for a BPL player is £35k per week. There is no way on gods green planet that MS is on £10k.

The board have now created the perfect storm in which players previous happy are desperate to get out and those we were confident of getting no longer want to come.

If I'm honest I think that's what he's been brought in for.

You won't find a better bike than this for the money. http://www.pedalon.co.uk/acatalog/giant-defy-1-2014.html

Yes, hence his supposed to be going to Chelsea for the exact same amount Utd paid for him. I think I 1st posted about it in the October.

Check out Ribble. Hugely popular bikes up here.

Have a look through this lot. http://www.discountcyclesdirect.co.uk/catalog/index.php?CG_ID=2&CS_ID=23 Moda and Mekk offer some great value bikes as does Forme.

Depends what you want really. There is so much at the £1000 price point because of the cycle to work scheme but I'd hang on until September / October and pick up a discounted 2014 bike, that's what I'm doing on my n+1, which I've narrowed down to 3 choices. Do you want full carbon, do you want alu with carbon forks? Shimano or Campag? British? Prestige brand? Relaxed geometry or racing? FWIW I think something like this is fantastic value (or will be in the sales) but then I ride an Italian bike (Bianchi) but with campag. http://www.discountcyclesdirect.co.uk/catalog/product.php?CI_ID=16767&Item=%27Wilier%20Izoard%20XP%20105%202014%20Road/Racing%20Bike%27 Yes there is brand snobbery. I wouldn't buy Broadman, despite my wife riding one, as to me they are souless. Stupid really I know. You'll never really know until you ride it but with so much choice at similar spec around £1000 buy what you like the look of and no matter what you get, by next Spring, you'll be looking to upgrade.

What a cry baby tw*t.

Sky have been awful so perhaps, maybe, next year, they take a squad of talented Brits. I'd love to see both Yates twins riding the whole tour as well. Adam is riding the Vuelta this year.

Seeing Sagan sulking has been fun and Leopold Konig has been pretty awesome. The best thing this year has been having the cameras on the bikes. Been some awesome coverage.

What a tool. Stick to FM as this real life stuff is totally beyond you.

What a poof. Man the f**k up.

The rumours were there last season but I really didn't see this coming much in the same way I didn't see the Lambert move coming.

This is a step too far.
