Taiwo is the one with the hammer left foot. I'd have Onuoha, but only for the right price/wage and let's be honest, neither of those things are gonna go our way.

Too many whingers, not enough wingers.

They can't afford his wages.

This thread is amazing, I haven't laughed and grinned his much since I caught all of the Pokemon :D

:unsure: is this a joke? TURKISH team Benfica?

now that he's gone to 12m euros I think this is another one out of our financial reach... A year ago he was worth a shout when his price was lower but he's improved last season hence an inflated price/gazes of 'bigger' clubs

This is what I had brought to my attention as well but, as someone else has posted, that account has gone, and the original source didn't contain any quotes... Always sceptical but wouldn't surprise me, I don't think we can bid till we sell at least 2 players for decent cash.

This. I agree, except for the players in the swap bit. I'd take £15m odd and Onuoha and Boyata - thus meaning that we already have a player/players that can compensate for the loss. At the end of the day, I don't wanna lose Baines, he's the best performing left back in the league, if not...

I'd have him in a swap for Mata...while we're in silly season this may even make the papers!

To be honest, I think the whole us being better than them stems from the Newcastle fan's superiority complex they have. This is a team that was in the Championship 2 years ago and were still claiming they were better than half the teams in the Prem - the table ultimately doesn't lie

It's gonna be a long enough summer without this kinda bollocks. STOP MAKING THREADS THAT HAVE NO CHANCE, there was no official link, we can't afford him, he wouldn't come to us, Bily wouldn't go to them. END OF.

Duffy is not ready - hence why he was loaned to Burnley. He did well - at that level and they bid for him but honestly, I have a friend who went to a lot of the reserve games and he basically told me he should never get in the 1st team, his touch is atrocious, alls he has going for him is he's...

Someone actually mentioned N'Zogbia being a target to me the other day. Let's be honest, I'm sure Moyes would be interested, but by that token, I'm sure he's interested in Messi - and we have no chance of signing him. N'Zogbia, yes, a slight slight chance, but at £9m and the wages he'd ask for...

Very well written articles, I was talking about Degn the other day, I was only a kid when he arrived, but, as always, I wanted to see youngsters to do well - didn't happen though, his temperament was reflective of his young years and it all went tits up, basically.

In short, Arshavin wouldn't come to us. He turned us down before and he's played on a bigger stage than we can offer him currently, so while it'd be nice to buy a player with undoubted talent who has lost form - we simply won't.
