Summer 2010 Transfer Thread: B*llsh*t, Rumours & Wishes

I don't know how Prince-Boateng ended up being seen as a player that would just be a drain on resources at VP. He's a bighead for sure but I thought he had a tremendous season and was one of the better performers so far at the World Cup, so where people's animosity stems from I'm none the wiser.

Would that be the season where he spent majority of it on the treatment table while Pompey were battling relegation and then recovered just in time for the two Wembley games?

If that's aimed at me, I have no animosity towards him at all. He's a decent player, I'm just not convinced he's good enough yet. I wonder how he can be considered to have had a "tremendous season" too.

I'd be delighted if both of those were true.

Arteta? That is probably the funniest link I've ever seen.

I could see Heskey going to Stoke.

That's more like it. I dont think Arteta is as good as he's cracked up to be sometimes but he's a fine player.

Does seem to be injured a lot though. Or is that just how it seems?

That intrigued me, so I looked it up.  His appearance totals from 05 / 06 (he signed in January 2005) are:

37, 39, 37, 31, 16

So he has his niggles but has really only had one bad season (last season) since he has been there.

If these are both true I'll take back everything I've ever said about the Sun being a useless shit-rag I wouldn't lower myself to wipe my arse with.

I just cannot see us signing Arteta

I just cannot see us signing Arteta

nor me   , Fabragas yes  ;-))

[JUAN PABLO]

If only Heskey had put that chance away. We could have got 2.5 million for him  ;-))

Wheres the link to the Arteta story? And come off it, he's hardly out of our reach is he? He plays for Everton, not Man Utd.

Personally I think we'd be a sideways step for Arteta.

IF he was available I'm sure there would be 'bigger' clubs interested.
