If a player fails a drugs test does that mean they forfeit their contract? If we have to pay 5 million to get rid of Given hopefully its him?

Replacing a manager who got results by getting his team to play dire football With a manager that fails to get results by getting his team to play dire football Makes perfect sense. I wish I were Mark Hughes be completely shit at a job.... Get sacked earn loads of money in the process then get offered a new one doing exactly the same thing Can't exactly blame him can you Put your money on Stoke to get relegated folks

Have we? only thing I heard is Lambert makes the worst performer in training wear a yellow jacket or something and that when Bent was awarded it he stormed off and had a big ruck with Lambert over it not heard anything about his team mates though He didn't want to wear Bannan's jacket? Tight fit

Minute silence incoming

I cannot understand why players go to Celtic Is the champions league that much of a pull Is it because they want an easy ride do people think they get offered the kind of wages that prem teams fork out? Surely as a young player you would want to test your mettle and play in one of the best leagues in the world Heck they do not even have the old firm derby's to look forward to up there anymore playing sides such as Aberdeen and Hibernian really must be a mouth watering prospect

Do inanimate objects count? Redknapp is screwed if it does who would want to get reincarnated as a Candle

Would it still be the board's fault if Andi left for more than your £40k/week maximum? How would you have got Andi to sign a new contract earlier? It would not be the boards fault if he left if he was asking for more than 40k a week he is not worth that and it should be our wage ceiling in regards to our best players other than Benteke of course who is exceptional This is the model Spurs used when they were in transition from being a rubbish side fighting relegation to a good one That won't stop many. Roll up! Roll up! £20k, £30k, £40k. Pick a number, any number! I cannot understand why you are having a go at people for speculating on a fans forum? I'd stay out the summer transfer window thread if I were you it might reduce you to tears

2 million wow thats robbery It makes the Steven Ireland deal look a great piece of business

No chance were getting 8 mill for Bent I'd say we can hope for 4 - 5 mill tops

As there are plenty of clubs who can afford to pay a player more than £40k/week, how do you square the above extracts from your post? You have selected a, some might say reasonable, round figure of £40k/week maximum to offer AW. The board and manager will know the finances of this club (and to a certain extent other clubs) better than us and may decide AW is worth a maximum of, for example, £36k/week. Would it be a clanger if the board decided not to match another club's offer above these figures? Well I can't see Sunderland Newcastle or Norwich paying him more than 40k a week and I'd like to think that we can off him a similar package to the teams mentioned which will mean he stays here as he's already settled and playing regularly week in week out I think the big dangers are clubs such as Liverpool trying to get him who will sell him the whole history of the club were going to challenge for the top 4 bullshit in a few years time rubbish even then I don't think he will be a starter there and will be a bench player If another club like that comes in and offers him ridiculous wages he will have to go. But if he goes to one of our relegation rivals you have to look at the board and question first of all why has one of our more important players contract been allowed to wind down and secondly their ambition and where we expect to be in a few years time

Have we even been linked with Lestienne or is it just because he's from Belgium I found nothing on google Sounds like waffle to me

Latest reports are were having to fend of interest from the likes of Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle If we can't keep our best players from going to similar clubs in terms of league position what is the point in trying to compete? Weimann is worth 30 - 40k a week he's an integral part of the side. Who can blame him for holding out for a bigger wage when you have players like Ireland sat on 60 - 80k a week doing sweet FA to earn it while he grafts week in week out Don't get me wrong I would not pay him more than 40k a week he's not at the same level as a Benteke but he is one of the best players in our side and if we are to progress as a club we need to keep our best players. With the increased TV money and more deadwood shifted off the wage bill such as Dunne and Given surely we can afford it I'm confident he will sign a new deal surely the board won't drop another clanger

How the mighty have fallen...

Bannan is great at pinging the ball to Louis Suarez! Bannan is great at pinging the ball to nobody!

But according to whelan everton are not a big enough club

Spearing is shite

Perhaps he will go to crystal palace Didn't holloway sign him at Blackpool?

If only all boxing was as entertaining as that

What a combo from Kessler

Kessler is made of Iron What a beast

Jab is destroying kessler

I'd like to see him fight someone better before he steps it up another notch WTF is up with groves tattoo's as well is that a cat and a gingerbread man in a horseshoe?

Groves up next i have always rated him surprised his career didn't take off more after the win over Degale

Bellew : "To all the people doubting me on forums and twitter i won tonight stick it up your arse"

Sadly i think more than the BNP will jump on the band wagon There are quite a few disillusioned folk out there pissed off at the current government and the state of the country
