Seems I'm better than you at it. Maybe it wasn't a rumour?

Ramirez and Clyne out today.

Could do with Clyne down the right to deal with Baines and Pienaar, so I'd personally start Fox.

He still with the one that Russell Brand ruined and then ripped into on his stand up tour?

As much as having Benitez would be quite cool (Even though losing Adkins would be a bit of a bummer), I think people should take into account that Benitez and his people have been whoring him around for any and every half decent job going since he got sacked by Inter. Constantly putting himself in the media around the same time his name gets linked to a job is not a coincidence. I have a mate who did some work for the Guardian for a few months and he told me that Benitez's representatives were constantly telling the Guardian and other media outlets that he was interested or being considered for jobs. Clever but a bit annoying and should make people take links like this with a pinch of salt.

"Defences wins Championships" was one of a few printed sayings in the dressing room last season. No idea what they have up this season.

No its not arrogance. It's a differing of opinions. Just like how you will rate one player but another person will rate him differently.

Who says he isn't good enough for the PL? He's never played in it. We've clearly decided he isn't good enough for us in the PL but that doesn't mean SOD will also think he's not good enough if they get promoted. It's subjective. Also, they would be able to afford the deal if they don't get promoted as they are backed by big money owners like we are.

Actually, he's everything wrong with English football. It isn't his fault. I feel for him, especially the mocking, but he's technically incredibly **** poor and without his physical attributes would be nowhere near a Premier League team let alone the English team over the years.

Change Sharp for De Ridder and that will be the team above IMO.

With work permits/medicals etc to sort, this could take a while to be confirmed on the OS.

No it is not a possibility. Not a chance the FA would allow us to own 30% of a player.

Simon Peach proving he knows very little with his latest tweets. Quite literally copy and pasting. In one of them he states "The deal is at a stand still"...Yeah cheers for that insight.

I'm sure he won't mind seeing as he constantly moaned about NA saying the same stuff in every interview.

His goal may have just won me 80 quid. He's welcome here anytime.

I doubt Ramirez would be Modric's replacement. It just frees up the funds for Ramirez's wages.

This. Signed him for Saints, he did alright for me. His mate Eric Torres at the same club is better though. It won't happen anyway. Who are the guys quoted from twitter?

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Ramirez agent is complaining about the wages Spurs offered. So unless we are prepared to really up our maximum wage then I think today's supposed meeting will be over pretty quickly.

Really hope not. I've spent years slagging him off as a footballer and don't fancy trying to find some good points.

Warnock is a good shout. Villa don't want him.

Bore off you goons.

No longer ITK? Shame

Cortese's birthday today. What a knob for going away on his birthday.

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/blackburn_rovers/news/9852185.Pedersen_s_Rovers_future_uncertain/ Not where I read it, but does talk about him being available.

Read somewhere he's been transfer listed so it isn't that unlikely.
