Especially Fridays in Ramadan.

Excellent summing up, anyway we're what ? 14 days away from our first pre-season game so we'll soon have some sort of idea as to where we are team wise just now.

Well as he said he'd only leave for a CL club and has a preference for the PL how many candidates does that actually leave ? 4 I make it, 2 are interested and two don't seem to be because a DM is not a priority to them. As for bids, well that's old hat and not the way it's done any more. Clubs enquire and get told a figure, after that there are discussions and a figure is settled upon. 22/23 will be the price and Utd are the most likely destination, Koeman wants other players..probably more Dutchmen and isn't particulary adverse to MS leaving.

Probably because there's always a fading star or two to be had at a knock down price or a young Frenchman desperate for far more money than any Ligue 1 club can pay.

Why ever not, that's what the French have done and you see what peaceful, law, abiding, non-troublemaking citizens they all are, why they're so fine that the Army hangs about on street corners to see if there are any good citizenship tips they can pick up.

Not really in Lyon, more towards Grenoble I think. Anyway it's being put down as a terrorist attack for the time being. France is overrun with militant islamists and the government is too weak to do anything about it.

So the gee up rumour may have worked well again then...............Feel sorry for all the mugs who've lost money on it again.

Give it up Eljero, the transfer committee have said no and that's it. Persuade your German club to let you leave for free and they'll reconsider...bye.

Being prepared is one thing but with 6 million signed on at Pole Emploi opportunity is something else. There is no work for a lot of French people in France so paperless migrants have no chance whatsoever. Still I expect they're clued up on the generous benefits which create the no work situation in the first place. A job in France costs the employer twice the amount the worker actually receives, and tax isn't at source here, it's all social charges to give to scroungers, tax on top later. Whereas benefits are tax free. the French just want rid of these people and the chaos they're causing.

Was it not rumoured that Koeman wanted to buy him for whatever the asking price was but the TC turned him down because they didn't think he was worth the price? Left the door open to a move at a far lower (or non-existant) sum though.

Apparently Toby got married last Friday...did we know that ? Wonder if any of our other lads went to the ceremony.

Absolutely, neither Lambert or Chambers are really top 4 club material. Lallana will play a lot next season I think, can't see why he wouldn't, last summer was very tiring for WC players and an awful lot of them had dips in form and on and off injuries, it happens after every WC cup summer even if they're not in the searing heat of Brazil for 6 weeks or so.

Perhaps, I do not much concern myself with Liverpool, they are a giant club with a record of titles, cups and CL wins (well just the one but about 5 European Champion's Cups I think). Any player would feel honoured to be part of that set up I think.

Liverpool, like Saints, will have at least 50 games next season, there's plenty of time for everyone to get plenty of playing time. Football has become a squad game and if you don't have reasonable cover for every position you get wild dips in form.

Who's being dismissive, I keep hearing that we have some fantastic players in the academy, I'm just waiting for one of them to step up, play 25 or 30 games at 80 minutes + and not be sold the summer afterwards.

Never mind,don't we have some fantastic players in the academy who'll step up and see us through, then again I remember hearing that a couple of times already, in 2008 notably.

plus they've got a few other Belgians, do Belgians have a herd mentality, don't remember it in Wallonia but perhaps in Flanders they do, the dutch certainly like to hang out amongst themselves.

Morgan will replace him in the French XI anyway because Cabaye is on the slippery slope in the role that Deschamps insists on giving him, ie sentry in front of the defence, Pogba and Kondogbia could do it but Deschamps considers them too impetous and prone to absent mindedness or gung-ho charging forward, he keeps saying that they both have to improve on that sector of their game.

And even then it would depend if Reed actually controls the purse strings. He may want to sign the player but isn't permitted to agree to the amount in question.

Perhaps but as Toby has always said it's up to Atletico Madrid, perhaps they're just hacked off at having to pay us an extra 2 million euros in the first place, perhaps they've been subsidising Toby's salary for the past 11 months, we know nothing except that that he says.

Occult meaning hidden or dark.....they're still under investigation as far as I know, they were all hauled up before investigating magistrates a while back.

Odd transfers are one of Wenger's foibles. There have been a few, like Miyaichi and Squillaci. In fact he seems to go for players with the Ch sound in their name.....

Ah well, bullsh*tting is so widely spread now that it purports to almost anything. There only used to be 2 main reasons for it, getting someone to lend you money or get a chance at sha@gging some poor girl who was probably out of your league. Nowadays it's just a popular pastime because you've nothing else to do.

But if they could all move to say Ostend or the Hook to try their luck that would be extremely handy. We've half of our army on street corners watching out for terrorists as it is already.
