I thought we only had £1m to spend this summer?  We will blow £3m on him in a year for starters.  I'd be a lot happier if there were any signs of Micah Fcukin Richards going and Gabby for that matter. Imagine these three clicking in training laughing like hyenas.

Judging by how the FA seem to treat us, if it had been a Villa player he'd still be serving the ban.

Very good.

It's got worse as well. If that had happened this season Petrov would have been banned for harming the Chelsea player.

You know, I remember when not being nasty enough c**ts was a massive problem that was going to be solved by bringing in Keane, Jedinak, Elphick, bringing back Hutton and so on. Perhaps we could try signing talent instead.

We agree once more, Montague.

What concerns me is ..... who has suggested this signing and who is advising the owner that it is a sensible move. For me it is a financial gamble with a potential to split the fan base just when we need everyone to be pulling in the same direction.
We all want promotion this season and yes we need to do everything we can to maximise the opportunity, however this smacks of desperation and mirrors numerous other risky signing we have made in the past - as a club we don't appear to learn by our expensive failings in the past ......

I wonder if him remembers the reaction he got when he was stretchered off a couple of years ago.

Quite happy about it. He's a winner and its a long time since we had one of those here. Think he will cope at this level if he stays fit - big question mark admittedly. All the racist crap, well he was found not guilty although you wouldn't know it reading this thread. Personally if players like Drogba thought he was racist i've no doubt he or them would have left chelsea at the time over the issue. Whether he can cope with some of the work shy fuckers at our club is another thing - probably be quite an eye opener for him.

I'll judge the summer transfer business by what we do besides Terry. It's about the net of all players in and out that will define the window. I've said yes to Terry as it is one year and despite what we all feel about him he's been a leader at a high level. He'll need to stay fit and that's naturally a concern but I think at Championship level he has more than enough ability even at 37.

Steve Bruce surely given he's been playing Golf with him for seemingly the last week.

I would've been dead against this move if we were still a prem club but we aren't and we certainly need all the help going to get out of this league. I can certainly understand people who don't want him though.

Any word on length of contract, 1-2 years, coaching aswell, promise of captaincy which would certainly be a mistake.

Joey Barton, James McClean to name two. I would also feel tested if Suarez showed up in a few years. Again I dont like John Terry, but he doesnt hit my button you know?

Has Suarez really done anything that much worse?

Why would he not be captain? He's hardly going to come to the club if he's not captain.

That's transfer fees as a result of FFP.

If that was the case, it would make this sort of deal even more likely - no fee, just big wages.

Because we have one already?

Edit - although at least it would be consistent.

2015 - Richards. 2016 - Elphick. 2017 - Terry.

New centre-back bought in by a manager having their first summer transfer window gets the captaincy.

He's a massive, massive ****** and I personally would not piss on him if he were on fire, and I would seriously question his mental attitude coming here where we currently languish, but I can't believe anyone really thinks he wouldn't enormously improve our defence.
