Window Cleaner

Why, does he live in Ocean Village then ?

Have you no shame speaking to a lady like that ...honestly. Make your point but keep it civil.

My my what cosmopolitan offices you all do work in.

Genuine question. Does anyone actually know when he last played ? Mid May perhaps.

Sick Note Grenier will still be at Lyon on the day he retires. Physically far too weak for a CM, he's not a winger either, they could at least get that bit right.

Obviously the team manager and the director of football thought otherwise. Forster was signed to be number 1, there was an article on ESPN sports a while back, apparently Koeman was not impressed with Boruc, how true that is I couldn't say, the fact that we've paid 10 million for a keeper tends to add weight to the argument though.

The deal was never going to happen...full stop.

Keep on hoping then, in reality Rojo is out of our league. I mean we could offer 15.8 million £ (or 20 million euros) in the same way as Utd but his 3/4 owners are probably more concerned with the subsequent images rights deal that they will no doubt get if he's at Utd. Januzaj has just signed up with them as well. It's getting to be a very concerning situation with nebulous groups like Doyen, they co-own the players, act as their agents and manage their image rights. The players seem to do nothing without their approval.

Well i wouldn't know whther he'll go to Utd or not but he would certainly have considered Saints as beneath his status. Especially as he probably had noticed how difficult it is to get out once you're in.

out of interest it's 10 million+ Chichires+Holtby....that was the last known (or reportedly so) offer. That's about 20 million £ in all, but we didn't want Chichires or Holtby, they're probably over our pay scale as it stands. So instead of signing Chichires for say the 35K/week that he'll be getting a Spurs we pursue the signing of his old oppo Gardos who'll be happy with less than half of that sum as he's coming directly from Roumania.

Perhaps we had a pre-defined sum of money that we wanted to obtain and took the shortest route to that objective. Who knows what the reasoning behind it all really is/was. However there is one no doubt coincidental occurence...the sales ended (or so they say) and so did Hofstetter....reputed as an expert in corporate finance and part time attorney,

To be honest Altidore had failed as a striker virtually everywhere he'd played except at Alkmaar, think if you tot up his games elsewhere (except for MLS which is worth absolute firk all) you get a bit over 100 games for a handful of goals, say 8 or 9. At Alkmaar 55 from about 110/115. Can't see why Sunderland signed him as he'd already proved at Hull that he was shîte. As for Pelle well we'll going to find out very soon aren't we.

Indeed it will, but the first couple of games will give us an idea of where we are. Liverpool away and West Brom at home, got 6 points from those games last season I think. 4 would be good this time round.

Dortmund would be without their world cup winners though wouldn't they, if they even have any, suppose they do. That's why it's a bit difficult to judge top German sides just now, all without key players, Bender was missing for Bayer wasn't he?

As in all these situations Sunday will be the acid test. Forster will play then, we'll see how he gets on, know nothing about him myself.

Why say it, well how long do you think they could hide it really, might as well get it over and done with.

England goalkeeping coach, England 3rd choice keeper, plain as day that he'd be number 1 the instant he eventually arrived. Wait and see KD will be our Number 2 again before the month is out. There was an article about it not long back, transfer thread post 3501 IIRC.

Pretty obvious really

It's not about spending 14 or 15 million £, it's about getting Vidal at a lesser price.

Without doubting your colleagues judgement many do just not realise how good you need to be to play in the PL. The only real test is playing in it. With the deart of good CBs just one capable of performing correctly week in week out in the PL for 5 million £ will be a real find.

Who actually knows that..honestly. Never seen him play myself.

Could be, can't see exactly why we'd need any more CMs just now though.

In fact the only thing to do now is wait and see how we get on on Sunday and then recalibrate our last 2 weeks of the window targets. Don't think panic buying "maybe" Roumanian CBs is the way to go, then again for 5 million £ what difference can it make, if he's better than Jos it's a step forward.

So now all players are to be paid out of transfer receipts ? That's a bit strange isn't it? I mean the PL central fund actually give us a lot of money for that don't they. If we'd have kept the err 7 players that are no longer here we'd have had to pay them, as we did last season with a salary mass of 52 million £ or so. No-one is going to make me believe that we're paying Pelle as much as we did Lambert or Taider as much as we did Osvaldo.

Still Doyen will get 50% of the 32 milion paid for Mangala, that should keep the wolf from the door for a couple of weeks so perhaps they don't need the money from a Rojo sale...yet.
