So will we be seeing one of these at any time soon.

Blackpool are in for everybody,Austin would be out of their price range anyway. Big news for Blackpool fans though, they have signed a full back from Nimes in the French D2 on a six month loan.

Hope there's not an IQ test involved in that then.

so in changing it to swap from the original "straight swop" my automatic cerebral spelling corrector worked as it should then? Swop was in the original post. Would Harry Spooner not be proud of me?

Miyaichi is because he doesn't as yet qualify for work permit so he has to stay at Feynoord until he does.

oops typo, although swop and swap seem to be acceptable expressions of the same thing.

what for??

Wouldn't that be a silly swop? Straight swap nope sounds more like some term that would be used in puerile boarding events, completed a lovely straight swap and then went arse over tit attempting a trip reverse barrel roll loopover.Saw a really stupid advert for some sort of juvenile snow frolics on ESPN yesterday, talking snow owls who were connaisseurs of snow-boarding.

Man U's injury list is getting pretty long, they may even have to play some of their better players. I'd almost forgotten about Valencia he's been out so long, Park is swanning about with Korea somewhere in Asia, Carrick seems to be injured,Ferdinand is doubtful for tomorrow, yep they might have to put out a pretty good side against us.A red card for them tomorrow would be pretty handy for us,Vidic for choice.Plus we might be able to wind that Rafael up a bit, Punch would be handy for that.

that Chicharito is pretty handy,Owen is finished so if they play him we might have a chance of not conceding too many.

Is that allowed? publishing rumours that may change odds which one oneself is offering.

well I'd think that agents tell them, it's pretty obvious.Don't think it's against the rules for a player to disclose his contractual terms to an eventual interested party.

More money doesn't necessarily mean we'll attract better players, we could bid 20 million for a player but he'd probably not want to play at our current level. Money means nothing if the sporting project isn't convincing.We have to find the best players available who are willing to drop to our level or who are at the same level already and see us as a sure way forward for the future. This is extremely difficulty when plenty of EPL clubs are willing to pay 5/6 million and 20K a week for reserve team players who just might get a run out in the League Cup.

Of course.

Difference is Hazard is going to be playing champions league football next season whether he's at Arsenal,Man U or Lille. He's also going to be playing for Belgium wherever he is as well. He's probably on 30K euros a week at Lille.Hazard may desire to play for a big name club but even at Lille he's at the top of some sort of tree already. AOC on the other hand is in the 3rd division, I don't think many of you make enough of what playing in the 3rd division means to a player with ambition.

Chaplow can't play that role, he'd wander forward too much and his ball control is a bit iffy, can't use bouncing ball first time either plus he's even dodgier in the tackle than Morgan. If you're not going to use him as a forward marauding water carrier then you have no use for him;

Can't see him doing any worse a job for them than Arshavin even now.The number of times AA firks up on good through ball because his control is poor is unbelievable.

What a bore that SB is going to be Steelers-Packers yuk

Don't much care really, don't think we'll sign both Austin and Mackail Smith . I'd go for Lambert and whichever one of those 2 we sign with Guly replacing Ox when he leaves. None too much time for Barnard myself, not of late.

what 5 strikers ?? Barney is just a sub now, Lambert misses more than he scores and Guly isn't an all out striker. Look at the number of shots we have and the number of goals we actually score.We've had some great wins with a few goals but when we get to the down and dirty matches like last Saturday's we can't hit the net.These games are pitched battles and when someone sets up something with a moment of sheer brilliance you have to take the chance and not shove it 2 yards wide or hit it straight at the keeper (or go rolling about on the deck looking for a penalty) We should have scored on Saturday,players work hard to set up these chances and we miss them,Adkins always speaks about missed chances in his post-match, looks like he's decided to do something about it.I am 100% certain that Lambert would have scored from the chance Morgan so beautifully set up for him if he was a yard quicker and if he could use his left foot.

If we had Lallana and we should happen to turn it on then we have a reasonable chance of not getting too badly mauled.Doubt if we'll have Adam available though and with no-one wide left and perhaps not even Oxo we're going to look dire.If I was one of our better players I might even feign injury so as not to get ridiculed by the stand in hacks around me.

No-one except some of our fans who are no doubt driven by motivation in their own lives but don't see that it can apply to others as well.I just hope that Cortese and NA don't get too much stick from the Antis, there's nothing they can do if the price is right and the player wants to go.

but then he would wouldn't he. Adkins seems a nice bloke but there's a party line to be toed and that's what he does.

Things don't need to be said, that would be a problem because he wouldn't get his cut of any transfer fee. A player must never be seen to be seeking a transfer openly.That is considered as an official request and he loses his 5% cut.
