wish we were losing to Hull then Lambert might resign after.

Hoooooof so that Benteke head on to................ erm also he may not be playing well but he always tries to take on three players and as soon as one of them bounces off him they get the free kick

I thought Guzan could have done better for their second

Westwood = Mark Kinsella

yep **** this

he must have been hit by a player not just the ball or did something to his neck

jeez hope he's ok what hit him?

58 seconds for a yellow card has to be a record

And you're clearly the better person because of it :-) he's right though, we do swallow some absolute guff, me included. It's not necessarily guff - I reckon we've definitely been in for the likes of Belhanda, Coutinho, Kiyotake etc. - their agents/chairmen etc have said as much. It's just that when it comes to actually agreeing to their terms unfortunately our interest inevitably ends..... you might be right but also if you were an agent, wouldn't the very least you could do as part of your insidious slimy little job: 1) Look at a prem team underachieving (preferably one that can afford your player, but hey that's not really important) 2) Note the fact they are lacking in an area your client plays in - maybe notice that pundits/fans alike have decried that fact on forums and the media - 'if only that team would sign a *insert position here* then they would get in the Champion's League or not get relegated, become good etc etc.' 3) Make a statement to some highly *ahem* reputable online press that the club you've chosen to help play out for your favourite charade is interested in your client - possibly speculate on the value of that player - maybe even wages, make it clear they want to play in a specific league, state the player has other options but don't name the other clubs. (This could be based on the fact you rang that club about your client being available and they didn't tell you f*ck off, or that it is a club you know doesn't comment on transfers/players till they happen so won't deny your crap). 4) Make sure you do this at a point you have already had a CONCRETE offer or interest from another club (maybe a lesser club) - ensuring that the interested party will panic and offer more in fees and wages for your client. At worst if they don't bite then other clubs will come out of the woodwork now they know the finances/player availability in question. 5) Maybe even pay some **** on twitter a tenner to start a rumour about your client going to a club, make sure they quote fees and wages needed. 6) Sit back and claim your hundreds of thousands/millions in fees for doing what the type of simplistic work a ten year old could manage (or the dum dum typing this right now).

And you're clearly the better person because of it :-) he's right though, we do swallow some absolute guff, me included.

Back to the tedious topic of player wages. I was watching MOTD and I realised that every team I saw had experienced players on high wages, far more than us. We act like it would be a criminal enterpise to do this, yes we once HAD to much overpaid dead wood and still have a few left, but surely now we just have lots of cheap, crap, youngsters which is barely keeping our heads above water.

yep and people are eating that leather sandwich like it was a Vegas buffet

another 20 pages of hot air based on a twitter posting

I just went on to Youtube to look at John Carew's goals for the Villa, and for the build up of the goals you'd here "Barry, Petrov to Agbolahor through to Young who crosses it to Careeeeeeeeewwwwwww!!" Amongst some dross, there was some real quality in the team. My commentary would have been: "Carew! Carew! Carew's On Fire!" apparently the midfielder Carew recommended to us may be going to Celtic!

well he didn't come on. thrilling times

genius also I have just heard on Twitter ITKs that one of our ex players might be gay speculation he might have been German and had a powerful shot on him no idea who they mean? Can't believe this hasn't been all over the news constantly for the last two days all things considered? At the very least you'd think News Now would have one or two links about this?

should be renamed Steven De Bore for all the tedious time we spend guffing on about a player we are incredibly unlikely to sign. we've probably bid 750K for him.

That was WINGS! ok with a little luck i will stop making Wings puns, otherwise I will be Banned on the run from this forum

I would rather we talked about actual transfers but as no one knows anything we may aswell just live and let die

journalist Lucy Diamonds on Sky has just announced we might sign Ard Deus Naght

weren't we after Jaim De Wailrez also?

what about that Italian star Leuche Inaskaywev Daamond

Fat Ronaldo was in a KFC in North London the other day. Fat Ronaldo was in a KFC in North London the other day. oh wait my bad it was a Chicken Cottage

I find it strange that Lambert would be stupid enough to think Norwich would sell Hoolahan, considering the nature of his managerial exit there and the impending tribunal for Steer. Both things pretty much destroyed any hope of going back to his old club for any further players. Every loan player we have been linked to we know would be on ridiculous wages, none of the big clubs will subsidise wages anymore and do other clubs favours - and can you blame them? Those sort of transfers usually happen on deadline day when those clubs have brought in better/preferred players. If we are pissing in the wind with budget signings from lower leagues - then nothing is going to change.

can we just get the signing of Makoun, Berson and Dale Stephens sorted please
