How best to put this?
West Ham will sell to us!!!
Duxbury said they wouldn't but he was captain of a sinking ship and was playing up to the fans, O'Sulivan and Gold will do what they think is best and if it's good business they'll do it and tell their fans to fucking grow up if they don't like it.
If they are interested in our players they are not going to queer the pitch for no reason plus they are of an age when we were competitors not the enemy like people seem to think they are these days, except for two games a season of course:), and lets face it they are more likely to want our players than we are to want their's aren't they?

I think we can almost over-analyse players based on a few good or bad performances and then quickly rule a player out as "not good enough for us" or a similarly a player over-hyped who will "take us to the next level".

Looking purely at club form - really, is there much difference between Dzeko and Cardozo? I would say, probably much less than some of you would lead us to believe. Even though I concur that Dzeko is probably the better player - is he worth almost 3 times as much (say 10m circa for Cardozo).

I think people need to look at players attributes more and subsequently what they can bring to the team which we don't already have than just a big name signing.

That is very true, I haven't seen much of Dzeko either but gather he may be a pipe dream.

Cardozo is quite unlikely - benfica have sold di maria and are about to sell ramires (madrid and chelsea respectively). they surely wont need to sell and wont want to sell their three main guys!

Good call. Was just watching DM's posted video and had the exact same thought when hearing their names for a few of those assists.

Thanks for passing on. Trust that your source will be fine.

Championship level or better is what he needs. Hopefully he will get 20+ starts.

Must say that I was hoping for something along the lines of Cardozo after all the recent chat. :razz:

Look when I posted it originally mate.

It's been on Argyle's website for a few hours now too. I didn't mean to sound rude, but I think it's been there for as long as your post has been in the read only section atleast. I'm from Devon and like to keep an eye out, so I checked the Argyle website anyway earlier, and noticed it before.
