Wasn't La Sainté Union a girls only place up the Avenue ?

Well evidently less than me on an academic basis, so let's say 5/7th of £1, how much is that, 70p'ish ?

Hah, blue stripe on the winter hat eh.

In the vain hope that I can get a quid as a prize (not read everything mind you) BP Infants BP Juniors Taunton's Imperial for a 7 stretch Do I get the quid ?

I did not no, my daughter gets a bit narked when I turn up at her house and spend 2 consecutive afternoons watching English football instead of buying her stuff in boutiques...kids eh!!!!

I thought that last time we played Burnley as well..now although I think we'll win I'm not venturing any further than that. They've had some good results against top sides so it remains to be seen.

Would Stephens and Turnbull not (eventually) qualify as club trained home grown players for UEFA purposes ? Did Morgan have the 3 years necessary with us between the ages of 15 and 21? Came in the summer of 2008 when he was 18 and a half'ish, depends what the age of 21 means really, don't know myself, if it's on his 21st birthday then he wouldn't seem to have the time necessary.

With a giant unit like Courtois between the sticks you can't just blast penalties, got to be a bit savvy about it. He's what, 2 metres high and a goal is 7 metres 32 across, half that 3metres 66, so just by falling sideways he just leaves you 1m66 either side to shoot at, he gets down very quickly and has good impulsion so unless you're prepared to try to slot it a couple of inches inside the post he's got it covered if he gets the direction right. Think he had about a 50/50 record on penalties at Atletico, comes down to right side or wrong side then, slotting it down the middle wasn't a bad option. Must be a couple of Courtois penalty save videos about, look them up, Tadic probably did, plus Toby spoke to him just before, insider trading like..

4 times 39 years, plus Cardiff,

I've seen them at Wembley 4 times already, W2 L2 plus 1 Cardiff....really a bit run of the mill. (Rattles bars to provoke the Wembley lovers:rolleyes: )

Some seem to want days out at Wembley, never seen the point of those really, I mean it's good but bog standard for those of us who've been there a few times already. Now Helsinki or Istanbul, that's something different.

Ings or Vokes no doubt.

Aurier can play on both sides that's for sure, seen more of him than I have of VdW, in fact I seem to remember promoting him in a (or some) HCDAJFU threads. Probably on less money as well, not everyone gets a million a month at PSG, just the fashion idols and Qatarian binkies.

Elia I can pass on but I like Djuricic, needs toughening up though, didn't he play for the U21s again yesterday ? Probably part of the process.

He was first choice for a fair while but of late he's been replaced by Maxwell, can't remember if he's a brazilian or an argentine but PSG just love South Americans. They also have Aurier as 3rd choice and are now looking to sign Sagna who's done nothing at City. VdW might be available, as to his suitability I couldn't really say, not seen a whole lot of him.

300000K € a month before deductions apparentlyx12 divided by 1.40 and 52 comes to about 50000K£ a week, he's second choice there just now so may be interested in a move.

Given what they paid for Shaw I'd expect them to have a once bitten twice shy attitude. They'll not waste a similar amount again, then again Clyne is a far better player, Shaw was all hype and bluster.

Spurs win would be best, we beat them and gain 2 places afterwards.

Did he ? Altercations at training sessions happen elsewhere, clubs and players get over it in the main. We were desperate to get shot of him and so we did.

Yes, as we made Morgan stay last summer. In this case it might cost them a couple of bob for reneging on their agreement with us but they get a good player back and they've had a get out of jail card on 5.2 million €s of salary this season. Toby stresses this every time, it's up to Atletico Madrid and no-one else, they hold all of the cards.

But 2 of those are by our own choosing so we must have our reasons I suppose. Perhaps we could just not hack their salaries.

In fact if he was on say 80K (or 5.2 million €s as he was at A.M) last summer when he joined he's now had an 11% or so euro pay rise so he cannot be unhappy about that. 80K£ then was roughly equivalent to the 100K€s weekly that he was reportedly getting, now those 80K£ would bring him about 112000€ per week, if indeed he got paid weekly which he doesn't. Depends of course where he spends most of his money but he's quids in in euros.

Fee hasn't been agreed at all, there's a sum that they can buy out of and start again and that includes us. If AM do not want to sell him to us for 6.5 million £ (although the fee might have been in Euros and the £ equivalent will be less now) they give us 2 million euros and buy out of the arrangement and then name their new price. Where it gets choppy is if the agreed sum is very much higher, for instance RTBF (Belgian Telly) think it's nearer 12 million euros, there buying out of the agreement is far closer to his actual value. Toby keeps saying it's all down to Atletico and he has no say in the matter.

Not that I can see, he's an essential player and stats show that we do less well without him. I'd give you 5 Mayas and 8 Gardoss for 1 Toby. Trouble is he may well end up out of our price range on the 2 fronts, fee and salary.

In fact you have no idea what we can match or can't match. KBilly told us that we did not have the wherewithal to sign a striker in January and he's not one for making up crap just for the sake of it. I'd expect arrivals to be funded from sales as they were last summer, we have 2 potential sales and 3 or 4 places that need strengthening so doubt if we'll be blowing mega money on one player.
