You said we are only in a position to sell to buy, that's not the case.

I didn't actually I asked a question.

What really is pathetic is people seemingly not accepting an alternate position and chosing to read something that is not there and then from that getting all angry and testy over it.

That's what you're doing though, seeing the worst in the quotes. Bit contradictive imo.

Anyhow, rumour on the grapevine is that Upson was seen talking to Milner :!:

I save money, even when I do drink because I don't drink often people want to get me drunk so buy drinks for me the lovely people so I must spend less than a tenner a year on drink

Why didn't you just say you were a pikey :winkold:

If you're operating a sell to buy policy then surely you cannot buy before you sell?

Who said we are? I only read an article that said we might have to depending on how much we were looking to spend.

Do you really think there are NO funds in place for a transfer or two?

Sure we get 30M quid to spend but what message does that send out about us do you think?

Nothing really. You'd be hard-pressed to find a team who wouldn't accept 30million for James Milner.

^^ Yep.

Football Manager land. :shock:

:winkold:

Is that a halo or a naan?

or we could wait until 2pm today when milners interview at the training camp is on SSN, as we all know the press wont be able to help themselves asking the question, but i think he wont come out and say he's staying but what he does say and how he say's it will give us an indication.

Wait.. What? Milner interview?

Joao Mountinho please Martin.

Sorry, but did you see him against Everton?

Got taken off at Goodison. He is captain. He wasn't injured either. Such a poor poor performance from someone that has such a big reputation. Plays in a poor league where they have two competitive teams.

Is that the only game you have seen him in? The guy is immense. One poor performance doesn't mean the player is automatically a bad buy.

Joao Mountinho please Martin. Then raid Schalke with the change and pick up Farfan and Rafinha

Moutinho and Soldado. Hubba hubba. Mission accomplished.

Soldado from Getafe? *drools*

Joao Mountinho please Martin. Then raid Schalke with the change and pick up Farfan and Rafinha

Let's just go for Joao Moutinho. Just in case like

Bentley won't come as a squad player. He can do that at Spurs AND get some Champions League games.

TJ - One player doesn't make a team. Whilst i do love Milner and i think he could become a legend here, £25million is a lot of money. IF we get all of that money to put in getting other players here then it will help build a better squad.

If City came back with £25mil on the table i'd seriously consider accepting.

FFS isnt PS3 meant to have the better hardware?

It seems annoying there is quite alot of difference in the two versions...

I wont even notice when im playing because obviously I wont ave both versions of the game but it still annoys me that they arent both the same.

I mean what system were they made for???

IIRC a lot of developers said that PS3 was extremely difficult to make games for due to it's complexity or something. I forget the exact line.

Anyway, not ALL multi-format games favour the 360. Final Fantasy XIII for example.

To slightly go off topic i live by this rule when it comes to current gen gaming.

360 - Better gaming console

PS3 - Better multimedia console

For those still not sure what version to get, looks like the PS3 is getting the short end of the stick once again.

Neogaf comparison

What do you mean 'once again'?

So you are talking 30m - for maybe the 25th best midfielder in the league.

Who is also young, hungry, talented, level-headed, loyal, experienced, versatile.. oh, and English.

The price tag isn't just for current ability. It's for potential, nationality (especially with the home-grown rule coming into force) and mentality.

You could also add in the fact that he is a Key Player at the club he is at, if the club don't want to sell and don't have to sell then the price automatically goes up.

360?

I want to join a posse

First Bent better than Rooney now Delfouneso best striker in the world in 2 years.

why can't he be? you've said on many occasions that Agbonlahor is 1 of the best strikers in the league, Delfouneso is streets ahead of Agbonlahor at the same age

IN YOUR OPINION

Blimey, if Delf is so much better than Gabby then why is Gabby our first choice striker?

That makes ZERO sense. That's like saying "I may as well start paying my mortgage now but I don't move in for 2 years"

If we have to pay the fonz 50k in 2 years to keep him then we will. No point in pouring £5million down the train between now and then.

Edit: was referring to SGC's last post

ok then so you'd rather risk losing the best young striker in the country?

What we pay him now makes no difference to whether he stays or goes. If he's attracting attention in 2 years we'll offer him the money then.

Paying it him now when no-one's particularly interested is madness.

if he leaves in 2 years and his reason is "Villa didn't pay me £50k a week for the past 2 years" then he can **** off anyway.

Well I've seen reports recently saying that Everton will offer Jack Rodwell 50k per week and he's the same age as Delfouneso and a lot less potential imo, it's called looking after your best assets or risk losing them

I swear you just argue for the hell of it.

What has Delfouneso done to warrant 50k a week? Nothing. He MIGHT end up on that wage somewhere along the line, but he needs to earn it. We can't afford to pay a rarely used substitute 50k a week. Saying we'll miss out on him is absurd. If we don't think he is worth 50k a week (and in my opinion, no football player on this earth is worth that much) then i wouldn't expect us to pay it.

When i used to go to The Shed in Brierley Hill (still can't believe it closed down) there was a burger van outside.

They did something called 'The SCOBB'. Sausage, Cheese, Onion, Bacon Burger. It was the single most orgasmic thing that i have ever eaten in my life. Whether being a little drunk every time I had one had something to do with it remains to be seen. Not seen another burger van offer this heavenly dish.

Daniel Sturridge is an international forward in the making, and if you can't see it .........

How can i see it if he doesn't play?

In the Premier League this season he has started 2 games and come on as a sub for 11 games.... 1 goal. In the FA Cup, 3 starts and 1 sub appearance, 4 goals. Looks a bit more respectable. Goals against Cardiff, Preston North End, and Watford.

He's still unproven in the Premier League and imo we should be looking for the guy who has experience at the higher levels and who can take us to the next level.

I'd imagine Delf's stats are not far away from those. Would seem odd to spend a fair bit of cash for someone who may not be any better in a few years time. Especially since they'd both be fighting for the same place.

Delfouneso - 2 starts, 11 sub appearances, 3 goals (Premier League, Carling Cup and FA Cup.)

I download my games mate.

As i say ive not done much yet, galloped around on my horse, met a few people, did the intro tutorials in terms of shooting etc... does seem like GTA but with a western theme really

Illegal torrenting? :evil:

The Holy Grail...

The Heart Attack Grill

"The establishment is a hospital theme restaurant: waitresses ("nurses") take orders ("prescriptions") from the customers ("patients"). A tag is put on the patient's wrist showing which foods they ordered and a "doctor" examines the "patients" with a stethoscope.

The menu includes "Single", "Double", "Triple", and "Quadruple Bypass" hamburgers, ranging from 0.5 to 2 lb (0.23 to 0.91 kg) of beef (up to about 8000 kilocalories), "Flatliner Fries" (cooked in pure lard), unfiltered cigarettes, beer and liquor, and soft drinks such as Jolt cola and Mexican Coke made with real sugar. Customers over 350 lb (160 kg) in weight eat for free if they weigh in with a doctor or nurse before each burger. Beverages and to-go orders are excluded and sharing food is also not allowed for the free food deal"
