A tenuous link to Papa Diop today by some fan who is close friends with Steve Stride, according to sky sports rumours.

Exactly how I see it.

I have long thought that Baros and JPA would be ideal together. I think the only thing that JPA has been lacking is a decent partner.

JPA / Baros must be given a try, it's too tempting for me

Cresswell, why do you have Ritchie Neville as your fecking avatar

Yes but we have 19M left to spend

I'd like to think that DOL would pick his best players and not just those who he has signed

Feck me Gary Shelton would have walked it against these never mind Dessie.

errrm, Ray Houghton purely for his consistency.

TONY MORLEY

No Allan Evans, no Kenny Mac, Leighton, Derek Mountfield,

And I don't think we would afford the £10million asking price

We couldn't afford it if it was a £5M asking price!

No thanks.

Dont want him, he dont want us.

See Tony has been on and voted for Enks. Has to be Bosnich

Although Alan Wright was a dedicated player he was nowhere near good enough for premiership quality IMO. Everytime he got the ball he'd cut in at the halfway line and cross from there.

In addition, and I have no scientific evidence for this only my own eyes, it seemed that 95% of opposition attacks were based on the overhead ball down our left.

Has to be Staunton

Has to be Earl

Rich, I just think that with Fulham already losing Cole and possibly losing Boa Morte before the kick off, they will do well to stay up. They have no-one of note up front. At this rate Malbranque will be a striker for them.

:oops: sorry meant Barcodes and Charlton.

1 Chelsea

2 Manchester United

3 Arsenal

4 Liverpool

5 Tottenham Hotspur

6 Middlesbrough

7 Bolton Wanderers

8 Manchester City

9 Blackburn Rovers

10 Charlton Athletic

11 Aston Villa

12 Everton

13 Newcastle United

14 Birmingham City

15 Fulham

16 West Bromwich Albion

17 Sunderland

18 Portsmouth

19 Wigan Athletic

20 West Ham United

I think thats fair. Though I can see barcodes and fulham swapping places

Too early to say, plenty can happen before the transfer window closes, isn't that right Richard

So I've been told Malcolm

The Star says that there is a bust up between Campbell and Wenger and there are no shortage of suitors with Villa and Newcastle at the head of the queue.

I don't have the paper now as I wiped my arse with it.

Amazingly the Star links us with Sol Campbell

I think DV should be kept. He offers something different to what we have with our other strikers.

Why is there this sudden thought that one striker needs to be sold if another is to be brought in? When we were going after bellamy we didnt need to sell a striker.

mancity have put a silly offer in. I think thats all there is to it.

I agree wholeheartedly. If we are going to compete we need 4 strikers. Fact.

Completely agree. In the modern game most top teams have four strikers. Now we are nowhere near being a top side but we still need 4 to compete.

That was one of the reasons why we failed to compete last year IMO.

An under performing and quite frankly shocking Cole, and injurred Vass, JPA suffering for a number of reasons and a rookie Moore.

And people who wondered why we failed to score, or criticised our strikeforce now think that 4 strikers is too much.

Surely a more realistic target would be Les Ferdinand.

Except if DOL needs the money from a sale to fund his own player purchases

Why can't we have a "both" option?

Ah I see it's Villa.
