It was, but not to the ludicrous levels West Ham will take it to.

Leeds United Mk 2 with a bit of luck

so much better than "my dads mates sisters boyfriends aunts cousins dogs owner saw him at the ground last week"

I wasnt sure initially whether it was a mis-spelling of SSN or ESPN, but I've checked both

What were the findings?

Both have nothing more than "Reo-Coker not sure on future"

link me you dirty hound

the sun has the highest percentage of correct football gossip(i read it somewhere)

wasnt The Sun, was it?

Id take Reo-Coker over Barton.

Barton's a fantastic player and, although Im sure he could sort him, out MON is a manager not a social worker. There's always going to be a chance that Barton could do something twattish.

Reo-Coker's problem with West Ham was that he was shunted out of the team to make way for Mascherano, not because they were struggling. £8m is probably a little over the odds, but you have to do that these days. As Jas said above, he's the energy player we've needed since we lost Boateng.

lovely.

Looks like MON remembered to take his mobile on holiday with him...

Im still baffled as to why Sneijder is rated at £10m.

He's easily worth double that

Robbie Keane's signed a new 5 year contract with Spurs, so thats one striker we wont be getting

damn pre-empting

maybe its the fact that Valencia have bid has made him not want to come here, rather than scaring us off?

Bellamy has said things like that in each of the last 3 summers.

He's moved club in each of the last 3 summers

its never as easy as "make bid, they accept, we offer him terms, he agrees, he signs" but it obviously makes things much easier if he's clearly available.

If we paid £9.5m for Young, I doubt we'd baulk at £8m for NRC

oh, and Reo-Coker would be awesome. Sign him up please Martin

Got a nasty feeling we'll be signing Neil Lennon on some kind of player/coach deal.

Emphasis on the coaching hopefully

re: Bellamy being a cast-off.

Carew wasnt wanted by Lyon, yet we still took him and no-one moaned. We're not at a level yet where we have as good as a squad as the likes of Liverpool.

they use a school playing field, though i think they're getting a new training ground when they get their new stadium.

Taylor would be a good signing if we got the price right

Micah Richards being a bin-dipper wont really matter - hardly stopped Gerrard, Carragher and Fowler signing (and doing well for) Liverpool

what kkr said.

Quality player. £17m a bit too high I guess, but he's a very good player. Interesting to see how they'll fit him in.

Enough of united, back to the Villa 8)

Hargreaves confirmed as signing for Man Utd (BBC and SSN reporting), so any thoughts the fantasists here had that we'd sign him are done

He has to be good if he is brazilian....

Roque Junior, Emerson and Branco spring to mind immediately as 3 Brazilians who've sucked balls in England

well id not dismiss the suggestion John - he'd be a more than useful signing.

There's just no way he'll leave United right now - when his contract expires (which I think is 2008) he'll be back home to Norway to wind down his career.

no way will Solskjaer leave United

if we signed a Blackburn player, Id prefer it to be Morten Gamst-Pedersen
