No point in hanging about. Torino have just got about 16 million from Dortmund for Immobile, might as well take some of that off them. Gaston will never do much in the PL, far too aggressive for him.

doesn't he have a couple of "saints fans" playing for him ? Perhaps people (or punters) think if he got the job he'd bring them in his baggage at a knock down price. Anyway looks to have drifted out since this morning, perhaps someone saw him at De Vere or in Tescos or something. then there's the Reed factor, not entirely convinced that being english wouldn't be the best qualification for the job as far as he's concerned.

players like Van Wolfswinkel (not to mention De Ridder) are what makes so sceptical of Dutch football. There's good and awful with not much in between.

Depends if the new manager rates them really, who can say. Anyway how is a bloke who's probably seen a couple of minutes of video analysis going to decide who goes and who stays ? The "board" have talked themselves into a corner, all that will probably happen is that when we actually have a new manager they'll rubber stamp the decisions they've already taken.

You'd think so by looking at that Bentley he bought himself after we got to the PL.

they did make the final of the WC last time though, there are still a few ageing remnants from that side going into this one. Played awful football in the final though.

Let Utd have him, we owe them a favour.

Well i don't know about the others but i wouldn't recommend Clasie, remember him from France-Holland back in March, he was absolutely flipping atrocious, totally clueless against good players like Pogba and Cabaye. Perhaps he just had an off day though...a very off day.

And 30 million for Lallana with us having to dob 7.5 million of that to Bournemouth is indeed silly money. The more we ask, the more they get, it will eventually price him out of the market. Giving Bournemouth such a sum for a player that signed for us 14 years ago and for whom they have had no realistic part in the development is absurd.

90000 km is about standard for distribution belts on most VWs, and you're right it is inside the casing on the side of the motor. 90000 km is pretty early compared to most manufacturers actually, some even go up to about 200000 km, 240000 km if you trust Ford, most don't and get it done at 200K Km. 1500 £ is a lot as well, mostly it's about 850 euros for the job lot, belt, pulleys, water pump practically everywhere in "Old Europe" might be even cheaper in Greece and Bulgaria.

................

To be honest Lallana isn't worth 30 million and I very much doubt that anyone will give us that much for him. I'd sell him at 25 because even that is in excess of his real value. A poor WC and we'll get nothing for him, no-one will want him. As I've said about Shaw, I'll say again about Lallana, there is better available for less, just the fact of him being English seems to dope his value..

No I don't think they'll do that, no point heaping all the world's ills upon them. They're doing what they can, whether they have the necessary competences to do it well remains to be seen. Personally I really don't fancy Koeman because I've no respect whatsoever for the Dutch league and his two forays outside it have been dubious to say the least, still the majority seem to be willing to welcome him so we'll see.

Really, that was daylight robbery, Beattie was never that good actually, he had a hot streak, we made a packet by exploiting it.

Changing his agent to the ultra knob Barnett got Mauricio out of the door pretty quickly though didn't it. A good agent can persuade the buying club to up their bid, don't know what they offer in exchange but it must be something. Look at the wrangle with Wanyama last season....

I'm not sure that players can't be represented by family members who aren't agents though. Did AOC have an agent other than his dad? I'm not at all sure what the rules are nowadays. Think you've got to be licensed to tout for business but family representation is still allowed for individuals.

Who is his agent then ?

Isn't Lallana represented by his Dad or some other close family member? If he had a high powered, knobbish agent he'd probably be gone by now.

Less those relating to last summer's games in Austria, he was a happy bunny then.

Pahars was finished as a footballer,East European injury treatment in his young days had got the better of him. Whether he went for some paid vacation in Greece or Cyprus or just retired was of little import. Lambert might have a couple of useful seasons as a sub left in him.

Not from last season really. Pre-season confirmed 21st June and the kit can't really be released until the new sponsor's contract becomes active, 1st July. these are non-issues, can't see why anyone would want to make them so.

Indeed, far too much vitriol being poured on players who've done well for us for a considerable time. I must admit that I did warn you all that this was likely to happen if (probably should have been when) we failed to move to the next level as planned. The writing was on the wall when Cortese resigned, we had a plan, it wasn't fulfilled, these are the consequences.

You can tell it's from Liverpool because of the cheap crystal bic pen...only in chav land would they use that.

Ibrahimovitch cost PSG a packet, 20 million euros, think he was only 31 at the time though.

At Lyon the football wasn't bad, got too involved in the CL for their limited ressources though, Puel seemed to have a fixation on the CL, think he got to a couple of semis with them; They had good players signed for not astronomic fees like Lisandro Lopez and Michel Bastos, seemed to like flair players, then again i think they signed them instead of Benzema and Remy after they were sold off, that's Aulas for you he just cannot resist a bit of profit for home-grown players.
