Osvaldo's just edges it for me over Adam's (like Chewy said) because he humiliates Kompany. Always thought it was a strange goal because it's the sort of goal that's scored when you're in crazy run of form, not struggling for goals like he was.

Would you take anyone in particular from Juve, Monk?

Very true. Not to mention the fact he's probably costing us £3m a year in wages.

I probably would take 7m. Can't see his attitude suddenly changing overnight. He's always been a loose cannon.

Really need to sign Cork up. Wouldn't be able to replace him with £3m.

Whilst I never doubted Juventus wouldn't pay the agreed asking price, I'm not entirely sure why they would currently want him for 7m either.

Enjoyed reading that. Good interview.

This. We've got decent craft and guile, but no-one with the pace to make runs in-behind.

Yeah, looked good today - Looked good all season. Would love to see him here.

The Daily Mirror claims that Southampton are keeping a close eye on Portuguese winger Fabio Nunes. The youngster struggled during a previous spell in England at Blackburn, but is currently catching the eye in Serie B with Latina.

No chance. He's blown it. We'd have been crazily lucky if they took up the buy out clause.

If Poch goes, it's unlikely our ambition will match Simeone's.

Good spot, FF. Quite enjoyed reading this old thread actually.

Sorry to bring this old thread up, but since Ralph Krueger has made mention of looking for a sports director a couple of times, this was the only thread I could find on the topic. I'd forgotten that Cortese originally wanted to hire one. (See post #3) Will be interesting to see who we go for.

Would be nice if we could have some incoming rumours for a change....

If there was anyone who needed a loan move to get some 1st team football under their belt, it's Gazza.

He's been great for us. Proof you don't have to spend fortunes to land quality.

Would love to see a table to see how our wage bill compares with the rest of the prem.

I heard that we wanted to appoint from within. Good luck Gareth - Lets see us tie some players down to new contracts please.
