I walked past Ron Jeremy in a bar on Sunset Strip once. He had his clothes on.

News today that Were looking at Vydra for Bentekes replacement. I would be happy with that! James Nursey (usually spot on with Villa info) is saying Spurs want to wrap up a deal by Wednesday and the figure is £25m. He's also said he does not think he will stay.

SSN saying that Bent is set to join Newcastle by Monday. Hope that's not old news.

Khan is the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars American Football franchise, which he purchased in 2011, having made his estimated £1.7bn fortune in the manufacture of car parts. The 62-year-old, who will become the sixth American owner of a Premier League club, has been actively seeking to promote the Jaguars in the UK, with their potential relocation to London having even been mooted in the US.

So about the same as Randy's personal fortune and I doubt he has a family trust to dip into.

Not too sure about his motives for buying into Fulham.

For those of you unfamiliar with the standard of play in the NFL. Randy's (former) Cleveland Browns may have been bad but the Jaguars are absolutely abysmal.

In a league where its almost impossible not to make money and sell out a stadium, the Jaguars had to put tarps over the seats in their upper deck.

However, since Khan only bought the Jags in 2011 he can't be blamed for most of their ineptitude.

Impossible to make money and sell out a stadium in the NFL?
Did you mean to say impossible not to?

[JUAN PABLO]

well If Fulham will have money

Bent is £1o million 

Did I read Wolfsburg wanted Bent?

Vydra... I like the look of this chap . Probably want somewhere between 5-10 mil. He strikes me as an ideal fit for Villa and Lambert.

Most markets do no problem at all. The state of Florida is predominantly a college (university) sports state so pretty much all of the professional sports teams struggle with selling out, including the Miami Dolphins. Jacksonville is a much newer team than the Dolphins with smaller population and TV revenue market. They struggle to sell out any of their games and even before this bloke bought them they were always being linked with relocation.

With vydra add Saviola, Hooper and Ince. All moving all should come. Saviola would be immense could see fulham getting him in - he'd do a job in the prem.
