Oh and he's dismissing any chance of Ayew leaving.

deal done by the weekend then

Why do you say that?

didnt he say that gana was staying? and clark?

Still, good news about McCormack isn't it?

potentially if he can bang 20 in and get us up at the first attempt and we get a couple of decent midfielders in and get rid of pointy and laughing boy

Seems the zillionaire Chinese lot down at the Dogheads are really flexing their muscles.

So far they've hired a manger no fuckers heard of who's had more jobs than a Steelhouse Lane prossie. Signed a few loan players that have collectively done fuck all and are injury prone and bought a 8ft Icelandic striker who scored 2 in 15 last season for a million.

Oh, and now they're linked with Peter Crouch, the 35 year old spring chicken.

Bloody hell showing your (lack of) age.

Former Italy goalkeeper in the late 80s early 90s.

Part of the Inter team that was ripped apart at VP by Platt and Cowans.

The first though that crossed my mind when he was mentioned was the Holte End giving him a right round of fucks as he jogged down to the goal for kick off.

When he retired he set up a private detention centre.  Channel 4 made a documentary about it called The Prisoner of Zenga.  Elvis sang the theme song.  Return to Zenga.

So far so good. Decent manager, new keeper, central defender, midfielder and striker, and shite like Guzan and Clark out the door. Not finished yet but as good a start as I could have expected under Dr X.
I suppose you could say that they are rebuilding the spine of the team but in our case we didn't actually have a spine last season so it's more accurate to say they are giving the team a spine implant.

He also invented a game where you make a tower of wooden blocks and push them out, hopefully without the tower falling over.  Also has managed Arsenal for many years, so I don't know how people haven't heard of him.  Had a couple of Eurodisco hits with his band the Zenga Boys, including the Smash, "We're Going to Ibilston".
