Not sure if true but sure I see we agreed to sell Wilson to Udinese for 12 Million. So you could be right. I just wan't players out so we can see some new faces.

Yea I know, I am the same I just want us to shift the dead wood (for free if we have to) so we can clear squad space and wage bill and bring some new players in.

But then I am not in charge of teh club's finances and I am sure Mr Levy would not be looking to write off millions of pounds from our assests just to get a quick sale.

Certain players are worth taking a hit on (if they are totally surplus, have little time left on contract or are on huge wages) such as Keane, Hutton etc

but the likes of Crouch and Wilson can still do a job for us and are talented players who I am sure teams will pay reasonable fees for.

Arsenal are playing Udinese in the CL play off, shame Wilson never got his move there and scored the winner that banished them to the Europa league with us! would have been the greatest non spurs football moment since Nayim

Gică Popesc scoring the winning penalty against them in the UEFA cup final was also another great moment. Hopefully Gio will go there and do a job.

I'm guessing this is officially open season on enigmatic bullshit that hints at knowing something without going through the mods?

The paper is the Mirror. It's already out. Stoke offered 18 for the pair. We want 20.

It's now the 6th of August. I've been waiting a long time for my team to make a statement of intent. What the f*** are we playing at. Yes, we have a good squad, but we surely need to improve up front. All we need is one striker to score us 20 goals a season. Just spend our entire transfer budget on a f***** striker. I'm just hoping Levy and co have got something lined up or we truly are in the shit.

Roger Morgan responding to Jase's info

Can't confirm anything on Damiao but we seem to have put a lot into courting this boy so maybe it is on for January.

Heard that still some way adrift on Adebayor and Diarra wages. Adebayor waiting on Real Madrid before he commits. They want another striker and he's on their list, though they really want Neymar. If they don't get a nod on Neymar for January they will go back in for Adebayor on loan. All hinges on Santos.

We have offered Bassong and Bentley plus cash to Blackburn for Samba. Steve Kean was at Old Trafford tonight apparently watching Robbie play for Cosmos in Scholes' game, so I guess that is a fluid deal with Blackburn bring offered all sorts of player permutations in return. I am told they are in a mess, with deals being set up by a variety of agents, one of whom is Brazilian and is trying to push all sorts of foreign players their way. Keane would prefer proven Prem players and there is something of a fall-out between him and the owners (couldn't see that coming!).

Coleman cracked an ankle playing for Everton v Villarreal tonight and should be out of the opening day. Harry was there, as said elsewhere. Rossi got a cracker I'm told, but won't be sold as they have blet too many stars go already.

For God sake if true 18 Million is a fair deal why risk the deal for extra 2 million.

That's why :lol: I very much doubt we'd just not sell them if we were 2m out on a price like that. No idea why Palacios would want to go to Stoke, he's much better than that, but if they do get them both, they'll be a pretty good team this year, especially if Woody stays fit.

Thanks for your info and I think our chances of us getting him, have increased with villarreal losing some of their better players

It's just a shame that levy is a good business man otherwise we may of signed him by now, mind you it does help when we are shifting dead wood like mido for £7mill, it is frustrating

The combined reported fees for Bentley and Bassong is 24 million. Can we really see Levy with his track record swapping both PLUS cash. Not a chance.

Yeah but I really don't think Harry knows the difference between Sky Sports Fantasy Football and the real world!
