Me too......never again.......no offence like.

Well you can all fuck right off then. I got the cravat out.

Fat Frank released by Chelsea. If he doesn't end up abroad, or at QPR or West Ham, I'd take him here for a year. Much needed experience and quality in the middle of the park. At his age, would surely drop his wage demands.

I see Sidwell has been released by Fulham, not a fan but thought he was one of their better players during the season.

In all seriousness if young and Milner were still paid 50% by the parent club we might just afford it.
And why would they want to do that?

I saw this on twatbook as well, but why hasn't SSN picked up on it?

Absolutely. We are talking about the club who can't afford Marc Albrighton.

If sidwell hadnt already 'played' for us id consider him. Experience, physical presence.

But I'm not sure it's a good idea to go back

I also think fraizer Campbell could be a shout at £1m.

People will scoff at signings like that, but that's the market we're in

And they'd have scoffed if we signed odemwingie, assaidi, chamakh, long, etc last season

Lerner will just leave some loose change for transfers - the £73M tv money will be in his bank account by now......

No way he'd come here.

He'll be off to the US I imagine.

If there was a willing taker I would happily see him go.

That central midfield, Gardner, Delph, KEA, Westwood, Sylla - needs 2 first team players brining into it desperately. I would like at least 1 to be a bit bigger, more imposing that will allow Delph and Westwood to play a bit more.  Westwood should not be the holding player, the bloke can pass a ball, and shoot given the chance, but tracking back has to be his weakest aspect, which is vital to the player sitting.

Capoue was highly rated before he went to Spurs and never really got a game, worth a shout as a loan deal in an area, like you say, that needs improvement.
