Do you live in an igloo? That's the biggest load of shite I've read in a long, long time.

He puts up a great case Ash, 7/1 is tempting

I'll offer him double that.

Apparently Newcastle want Berbatov.

El Mundo Deportivo? There's a Barca fan who's a regular on our forum, he posted it earlier.

There's only El 9 and AS in the bar so place a look online later.

What am I bitter about?

Hargreaves was a United player for one year. £17m or whatever it was and X amount in wages. Bad luck, yes, but he was a woeful signing. Aquilani's a good player, hopefully he comes back and resurrects his career after Purslow sent him packing. Robbie Keane - woeful. Johnson's a good player and he's certainly not as chubby as Anderson.

Bitterness pours out all the time now mate, you used to reign it in quite well and always give a fair, detalied and balanced view. You're now similar to other posters who feel the need to mention United or put one of the players down in a majority of posts, you never used to do that...ever. Hargreaves was a good player for us, performed brilliantly, probably not value for money but alot better than Keane, Aquilani and Johnson have for you. Anderson is a bit chubby in the face I agree due to all the celebrating he get's to do each year when he wins ANOTHER trophy. I think he looks quite slim compared to the midget hamster Spearing to be fair though.

I've not seen enough of him to criticize or praise the apparent bid. People were jizzing allover him at Christmas saying he was going to United/City. Suddenly he's linked with us and he becomes the biggest laughing stock in the world. As for mocking £18m investments on English players, Owen Hargreaves will always be the benchmark. Always.

Must admit I think we got done over by Bayern. They spent two years rebuffing all approaches from Utd, then suddenly decided to cash in. Must've known he didn't have long left injury-wise.

Looks like your mob are gonna make some decent signings, not too sure about Downing though?

I'll say it again, see how much ambition Ashley has shown by the time the transfer window closes.

If you think he is going to spend any proper money you are clearly one of the deluded few that think we have a genuine chance of finishing in the top 8. Or even worse, think Gervinho would choose us over Arsenal or indeed anyone else offering European football.

Our squad is little better than that of the sides that are favourites for relegation. Our strike options are amongst the worst in the league, the defence isn't much better, and the midfield needs tweaking too.

All our signings will be from the Championship or unproven foreigners. Cheap wage demands and dodgy agents are more important than anything else.

You do realise we've had a £10m offer accepted for Kevin Gameiro, yeah? I guess he's an uproven foreigner though so must be crap, just like that unproven foreigner Tiote.

Fair point but Tiote is hardly a world beater though, is he? Wouldn't get near a top 6 squad.
