So, what have I missed over the last 25 pages? Skimming over the last couple it would seem we're closing in on Reo Cocker. Hope so.

This thread would be hilarious if it wasn't so damn idiotic. You know, concidering what happened in January you would have thought people had learned patience. Obviously not.

Hmmm, Scott Parker for £7m. Any takers?

edit - Jez, without any evidence to support an answer either way, what's the point in asking the same question over and over?

Dress it up how you like Jez. I don't know why I'm letting it wind me up, I expected it. Oh well.

Dont be. If he wants to go to Spain, he wants to go to Spain. If you see him next season at Spurs or West Ham then be concerned! We might not even be interested in him. He could sign for bloody Yeovil and I still wouldn't be concerned.

People whinging about missing out on this player or that player. The thread is rife with it already. If I read the question "Is this another we've missed out on?" again, in whatever guise, I'm going to explode. You have been warned.......

ARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! PANIC!!! Oh wait, it's still May.......

If he's the player that manager wants, it would indeed be a shame that he didn't want to come here. No sarcasm necessary.

an excellent choice if we are looking at potential but we should be looking for experience now. Wrong, we should be looking for both. We have experience in the right places IMO. Mellberg/Laursen, Barry and Carew. If they're good enough age is irrelevant.

Go ahead, suggest a few. These are the players we're being linked with.

Concerned about the price? Choice of player? Or both? To me the price is irrelevant. If O'Neill wants him and the board are willing to go out and get him that's good enough for me. IMO he's a good player with a bit of everything and scope to improve. At the very least he's twice the footballer McCann is, so a step in the right direction. a) Bit libelous that. None of us know that for a fact Don't recall. Probably. Although it has since come to light that Pardew had completely lost the confidence of his players. I'm convinved they would of gone down if he'd stayed. Doe that make it right? No, but there were times a year or so ago I wish one of our players had made a stand against the manager.

Swap Sneijder and Barry and you've got yourself one hell of a midfield there.

What is?

Oh yes please. 2nd best keeper in the league in my humble opinion.

"He looks a little bit like......No, can't be......"

Fair play to him, obviously not going there just to sit on his arse and enjoy the nightlife after all. I'm not sure where he fits in anymore to be honest. He's cirtainly not the out and out defensive mid we should be looking to sign. He'd work well next to Petrov with them sharing the duties, but that would then mean Barry moving back out left.

Maybe. Gregory didn't seem all that enamoured with Keane, he went to watch him a couple of times and was disappointed, for that reason alone he didn't push Ellis for the extra £500k. I know people like to regard Ellis as satan, but if Greggers had really wanted him enough I'd say he would have got him. I was absolutely gutted when we missed out on Juninho. Another one of those 'what if' moments as a Villa fan. Would we have been able to fit him and Merson in the same team? Guess we'll never know.......

Not really, Emile Heskey is a striker that doesn't score goals. Gamst Pedersen is a winger that does.

Lazy bastard. :winkold:

Am I the only person who thinks this guy is very over rated? scores the odd thunderbolt that gets him in the papers, not much else Scores the odd thunderbolt, puts the odd decent cross in, works tirelessly for his team mates. Yeah, other than that he's completely overrated :winkold:

Love in?

I like this thread anyway, been a few decent discussions. Al - Are you covering for Drat? :winkold:

TBF, it's mostly a suggestions/discussion thread. There aren't many 'my friends nans uncles dog said...." links and when there are they're ususaly ridiculed. The rumours posted are normaly from newspapers etc......
