I think Garcia turned us down, couldn't say about De Boer.

Probably not, must have an African trip planned next week surely, might as well get off early and beat the bank holiday rush.

I remember him at Lyon, pretty often unavailable even in soft, airy fairy, girlslike football. Plus he really isn't all that good. Versatile perhaps but only at a certain level.

Out until February at least apparently. Didn't trust him in the first place, stupid move on our part just to please Claude.

7 What is off?

Equipe says it's all agreed, we're paying 20 million € now, bonus payments to be added and the player has turned down more money from another club.

Does it matter, I'm sure that there have been seasons where I've not known who the 3rd choice keeper was.

You are probably right there.

Well according to L'Equipe Leicester started sniffing around yesterday as well. How accurate that is I've no idea. Article also says that we've offered him about 50 K a week.

Game seems to be a bit stop/start for bad light though, probably end in a draw if that continues into tomorrow. Doesn't really matter, Warks and Surrey look to be in good or reasonable positions not to lose anyway so it's about all up for relegation.

Same old abysmal bowling then. Never mind we'll be back in Div 2 next season and can progress with some of the up and comers.

perhaps the black box is geographically specific...

Well if you read the French sporting press we've offered 15 million € and they want 20 . It's all speculative tat anyway. Chill, we'll know in a week.

Obviously not any interest from Saints then if he's gone to the Samp.

Well I don't remember, if I ever read it in the first place that is, what it was that he spouted. However bad publicity, even non-factual stuff, tends to hang around like a bad smell.

Ah I couldn't really say, I've not been following very assiduously of late. Gotten a bit tired of the annual summer speculation to be honest.

And how have his previous predictions turned out ? Not fussed about either of them myself.

Although him being a prize knob may render that a bit obsolete anyway.

It obviously remains to be seen whether our score is sufficient or not. For the time being I see Somerset scoring at nigh on 5 an over, has to be said that we started quite well yesterday though.

Bit of a so-so day yesterday then. Not disastrous of course but we scored at a snails pace and are only 281/6 afer 96 overs. Other potential relegation rivals all bowled pretty well to boot.

Because Dawson is on ODI duty I hope and that he's not leaving.

Perhaps one of those West Ham joint chairmen wasn't exactly wrong when he said that Austin wasn't the big bargain he appeared to be.

But last season we had other players, probably better than those who have replaced them, we are learning that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Anyway who cares, we lost to Utd, it was always on the cards .

Us giving him far more money and for longer than we originally wanted to I expect.

Catching Warwickshire must be our most realistic hope I suppose, 17 points ahead of us with exactly the same WDL record. Lack of bonus points throughout the season may cost us in the end, not to mention the penalty points deducted. Still 4 games to go and we seem to be both batting and bowling a bit better than the start of the season.
