Howay

fucking hell

"New song by Odemwingie 'Sign Me Maybe'...'Hey, I just drove here. And this is crazy. I'm in your car park. So sign me maybe' hahaha class!" Saw this on bbc last night made a right mug of himself, been told to take the week off from training now.

Aye hopefully.

What happened to the whole not overpaying players stance

Picked up a knock in training yesterday apparently. Bent starting for Villa

Happy with that tbh.

Balotelli's close to signing for AC Milan http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21251291 Deaders will be thrilled.

Aye maybe, even if he can't afford it the situation is still very odd. I hope so and I hope it was genuine reasons but at the moment I find it hard to be sympathetic to the bloke as I don't really understand the point in keeping the general subject private. Obviously I understand people don't want their whole life exposed but like Luke said earlier just some sort of hint towards it would be enough if it's as bad as it's made out to be.

Agree with all of this and Ant's post. I cannot understand why it wouldn't have been stated if his wife was ill or he had depression or something similar, it just seems very shady that he wanted out and didn't want to just go home he could only go to San Lorenzo and he wasn't willing to do a Tevez or sign for any another club in Argentina. So basically he had serious enough personal problems that he couldn't continue here, couldn't just ask for extended leave, had to return to Argentina but they weren't important enough for him to buy out his contract or sign for any club besides San Lorenzo. Like others have said all of this means I cant give him the benefit of the doubt on this, the letter apologizing to the San Lorenzo fans is even odder and surely he'd have said something if it wasn't written by him.

I'm not sure anyone that would buy it would comprehend much further than "le". The club really missed a trick mind, they should have had Steven Taylor posing with it on.

Aye they'd be a proper sack to spend a quid on it never mind 15. Don't think even Cabaye could pull them off.

aye that's the one, wonder when they were £15 like.

See the club shop are selling berets with "le toon army" on then for a quid

I was just relieved to see it was a joke tbh. Can't understand people getting annoyed about it, harmless joke tbh.

Aye good point, 'frees' normally ask for bigger wages in all. Guess it's worked in our favour whatever the reasoning.

brilliant news, tomorrow's going to be a bit boring given the excitement over the last few days. Glad Ashley allowed those at the club responsible for bringing players in to go and sign up who they wanted, when he could have easily waited for the contracts to run down. Aye he should have bought in the summer but this is a brilliant boost at an important time.

This is the odd part about this situation. First like has been mentioned why wasn't compassionate leave the first option explored, but also if he goes to Argentina he'd comfortably be, if not the best, one of the best defenders there so why was San Lorenzo the only option?

Fucking hell what a shambles. Like what others have said earlier I hope we hold firm on this, hold onto his registration and fine his wages until he returns (if he does). Very disappointing that we finally get a good centre back pairing and the second the 2nd comes in the 1st does a runner

Spot on. Pretty mad from him changing 3/4 of our midfield like that. I understand the cabaye sub but if he knew he was going to do that marveux should have stayed on. We shouldn't lose to shite like reading at home with the players available today.

Should send Mike's helicopter over for him, to make sure he actually turns up. If we can get a player of his caliber in I'll be chuffed, him and Colo in central defence would be immense.

Parking was a nightmare for that.

Not really a shock. Cannot stand QPR. Can't blame Ashley and co for it but if we haven't got other targets they're fucking idiots.

Happy about this I guess. Admittedly not seen much of the lad but it's not like he needs to be that great to improve on our current options up front. Need a decent centre back in now, with the signings of Remy and debuchy breaking his policies hopefully Ashley is prepared to do the same to get more defensive help in.
