for the record I think we will attempt to sign Diarra, Parker and Cahill

And attempt to sell/loan: Wilson, Bentley, Gio, Hutton

Thats it, the "special player" sounds to me like the Arshavin debacle of that January window


this all day long. some serious strength and character in those signings.
wud be more than happy with that.

But relying on ade staying fit and lennon gettin the finger out until at least xmas

So is it Bup Bup Americano or Bap Bap Americano? Do we think the vowel switch important, or do we not give a shit?

It changed fron Bup in Jan Window to Bap in Summer Window. The song is called Bap Bap but if you listen to the song it does sound like 'bup bup' so I think he had only heard the song when he first used it as cyrptic and then at some point reliased it was bap. But who however than POTL really knows!

EDIT------------------------
Completly wrong sorry its called 'We no speak americano'.

And apprantly the lyrics are "fa fa l’americano"

So in summary I have no idea!

He isn't yellow now, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't originally.

I guess that's the beauty of Blue and Yellow as far as POTL's concerned, if the goalposts move then there's room for manoeuvre with who it means.

The main targets did seem to be Ade and Rossi though which would fit with the blue and yellow, the only person who could tell us for sure is POTL

I would love Kaka purely because everyone would get to stare at our shirt on Fifa menus :D make it happen DL! Think of the commercial windfall >_< Plus we have Sandro and Gomes :D he'd fit right in!

*back to real world*

I would be happy with Parker, Diarra and Jagielka/Cahill. Can only see one more coming in though.....unless we hold a car boot sale on Sunday because we know some big spenders are in the area.....

My wild guess would be Hulk. We agreed last week or so but maybe we had to wait until European Supercup was done to announce his signing. Could be all this talk about massive signing, but which hasnt been announced yet?
Wild guess, but probably better than Kaka.

Re Kaka - think he might end up at Chelsea as their alternativ to Modric.

I really don't think he can be yellow, as POTL said yellow was also a target in January and IIRC he was out with a long term knee injury then.

So £30m for a 31yo to replace Jenas as 5 choice CM?

I could almost understand Parker as a poor fall back if Diarra has got cold feet, but both makes absolutely no sense whatsoever when we already have Modric, Sandro and Hudd competing for those 2 starting places.

Absolutely gutted if true. Another Danny Murphy signing. Will be another in the 'ageing deadwood on massive wages that we can't shift' pile come October.

That's actually the problem with buying English...there's a tiny market to sell to since only one league buys English players - and why it's more difficult to shift a Bentley/Defoe/Crouch/Jenas than a Kranjcar or Dos Santos.

For the deal to be worth 30m he'd have to be on around 100k a week for 5 years, on top of his transfer fee. And he'd have to see those 5 years out. Stop exaggerating as always, Dan.
