Mr Morgan has gone up in my estimation. I think Roger Morgan gets fed or has connections with one of the journos cos the info Roger provides often appears in one of the papers as well.

He works for the Mail.

Poor lad, scraping by on 4/5 of a Real Madrid salary.
He'll have to get a paper round. Could pass for a paper boy quite convincingly...

It's not about that Modric is now going to life under a bridge....it is about that fuckin agents seems to get about 20-40k a week...

Someone mentioned Marc Andre ter Stegen here: Never ever ;)

Ok, sorry for the infrequent posting and not coming back earlier. so a gym session and couple of protein shakes later with my man I haven't really got anymore in all honesty than what I have previously posted.

He is positive that certain investments have been discussed as there seems to have been a 'step change' at the top and the tops thinking.

In all honesty that's wanky agent/marketing talk, I know, I use it! But it was the way he said it and hat we spoke about after, it ended up with him reminding me of my words about five years saying you can shove your billions up your arse. Or words to that effect. There's the fact that it could just happen as were not listed anymore, and also it may not happen and all we'd know is leaks later on long after the process has past. But there IS something there.

He also said that Southampton are after two of our players, and there's some kid there (can't remember name, but about 14/15) who is in the bale mould, who we've looked at last season in youth games.



wo, wo, wo.... Whats a gym?

Gio, Bassong or Pienaar perhaps? Adkins is too smart to touch our no technique deadwood like Bentley, Defoe and Jenas.

I live in Southampton, and was recently told that they were getting Defoe, and that he'd bought a house down this way. I'm not sure how Southampton ITK the guy I spoke to was, but I couldn't see Defoe going unless we had replacements lined up.

Sigurdsson?

I.e. we'll go down the two #10s (Rafa and the Sig) and two #9s (Ade and young Ade) route.

Defoe's not a Adkins type player though.

This is my favourite post on this forum. Ever. Of all time.

My question in an attempt to unravel your excitement (because that's how I get my kicks) is thus: why would someone invest in us? Man City and Chelsea have more money than we do or ever will. Hard to compete with them, much easier to go over to Spain or Italy and do it.
We make money, they squander it.

Why would you invest in a business that consistently shows a deficit?

o_O there's got to be a better way of phrasing that!

just saw your latest in the RO and am liking what I'm hearing - I don't understand why we'd be holding onto Defoe though. With Harry gone, I don't think we're going to be playing 4-4-2 anytime soon and he offers pretty much nothing on his own because his movement and influence on the game are so poor. He's turning 30 this fall and has two years left on his contract. Presumably we are going to buy a first choice #9 (Adebayor) and another option to compete/backup that role. When would Defoe play? Perfect time to sell, and he's got to move for his career at this point.
