Window Cleaner

perhaps we had a bit of paper saying it wasn't.

Anyway new talks between the clubs today being rumoured in some rag or other.

Well it worked for Fellaini. Big and curly haired.

Poor bloke probably has the IATA timetable from Austria and surrounding places to North West England memorised.

Perhaps we need to ramp up the raw meat rations at the Academy refectory. Oh and stop cutting the crusts off of the sandwiches.

Well at a guess I'd think they think they have something to crow about. Pity they don't do it on the Ugly or Sotonians.

They beat Kermaten 8-1 this afternoon, RB Salzburg beat West Brom 3-1. That's all I know about Austrian football today.

Wait up, does that mean he cocked up the Toby paperwork.....

Don't often get those on here though.

BierKeller football.

I don't think the actual loss of the player has troubled many...the bullshît surrounding said loss is what seems to have created the animosity.

And yet the opposition must be somewhere around the level they're used to playing at...or inferior.

Wow another "professional footballer spouts palliative crap" shocker. Just don't listen to them.

Ah yes Raiders....in which Indiana Jones has no real influence on the outcome of the Ark.

Because we seem to want to be ultra popular and always be the good guys like John Wayne. No doubt too much yank influence being applied.

I am merely going by post 76

Wouldn't read too much into it, it's a reserve team kickabout on a public rec type pitch..

Well then I can see why we're in no hurry to sign a replacement because with an initial offer like that he'll not be going anywhere near Old Traff at any time soon.

Schoolyard mentality I'm afraid.

The financial circumstances of Strasbourg at that time had some bearing on the price, they were desperate for money and had to sell the crown jewels for a handful of coppers. It's the way French football works, there is a governing body who have every power over the clubs and they can send you down a couple of divisions if your budget does not balance. For instance Bastia have been sent down a division because they were 1.5 million euros short on next years budget so they hastily sell their prime asset to Montpellier for just enough to cover the deficit in order to get the decision overturned. Imagine where English football would be if there was an equivalent of the DNCG.

I think he is their top target, I doubt that he'd prefer Arsenal who won't bid anyway.Utd are dragging their feet because they hope to get him for 25 instead of nearer 30. The more they wait the more edgy we become and when the bid of 24 + adds on comes in we'll think three or four times before rejecting it. It could have been that the inital bid wasn't the 20 straight that some seem to imagine, could have been more like 12 + Chicharito who ferked it up by breaking his collarbone or something, not that he wanted to come here anyway but we want him and he'll not get a game at Old Traff.

In fact I think we may have blown our only real chance of becoming a top 6 club. We had all that it took last season, we were there and 6th at worst looked nailed on. We persisted with a striker who couldn't buy a goal instead of shelling out a few swans for an alternative and coupled with a serious injury to our only credible keeper we eventually managed the unmanagable and finished outside of the top 6. Now we have more sales meaning that the entire spine of the side will be changed again for the start of next season and top 10 may well be a very good position at the end of the season.

But Les and Ron aren't responsible for recruitment initially, didn't we hire a bloke from Huddersfield to do that? They are obviously consulted but it's not their field.
