And can we please not use terms like "cancer" when talking about players, no matter how shite they are.

And Chris, it was obviously a joke by Richard, so wind your neck in.

So the word Cancer is banned from the site no matter what the definition?

I'm struggling to fill that centre mid role too, we get a Petrovy style of player and I think we are sorted. Whos available though, it is going to be towards the end of the month before we can grab what we need, ie, a slightly ageing PL A+ animal, surplus to "bigboys" requirements.

Which bit of "when talking about players" did you miss?

Unless of course we hear of a player with cancer I suppose.

Very happy to hear about the 3 bids, hopefully in the positions we are pretty desperate for. A bit disappointed to still have  Dontgiveafucklahor still in the squad, no one is going to take that cancer.

Cancer is a terrible way to describe what is 'only' a footballer who isn't good enough!

I agree.  The rhetoric on this site has gone really over the top. 

Quite. Some of the language used on this site is literally worse than mass murder.
WTF sort of response is that?  You may think 'cancer' and other phrases used to describe under-performing players is acceptable, I don't.  I think it is over the top.  There's no need to take the piss.

Have you tried Agnus Castus?

Jedinak has been mentioned, but not actually linked. I'd be happy with that. Would have liked Barton (I know, but look how well he did for Burnley). Charlie Adam could do a job. Flamini would be good.

If, and it's a big if, Lucas could get fit he'd do a job.

I would take both Jedinak and Flamini over Westwood and Gardner. Not paired up of course but someone in that mould would be key, a nasty bastard in the middle, someone to get the crowd going when we're on the back foot, a worker.

Our midfield, especially the centre is weak mentally and you win your games in midfield. Every team who have any form of success have had a really solid 3, 4 or 5 in midfield.

Milner, Barry, Petrov and Young was the last lot for me.

Any of the three mentioned would be a decent signing.
