http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/39528/Walter-wants-Gomis What;'s happened in 6 weeks to double his value? Bit like the Boumsong situation only this way we cut out the middle man. A million more than Modric for someone almost exactly the same age, who's played 3/4 as many club games and no internationals compared to 24 games and starting to run the show for Croatia. We're being mugged, but if we're going to bring anyone in maybe we have to accept that. I just wonder how he'd fit into the team. Who's place is he taking? I imagine it's a little harder to get into the French side Nicos. Bollocks. They're giving caps away With a free onion necklace apparently.

I agree. ANOTHER transition season when there's no reason for it other than Mike Ashley wants to get spending down. Well, season tickets are the same price aren't they? Yet there's no hope of competing if we don't get some very decent players in. Selling teenagers on for profit isn't the most fun thing I've ever looked forward to either.... It could all be a smokescreen, if we've got a few world class signings and got Owen to sign another contract I'll be happy...much less and I think we can all kiss goodbye to dreams of revisiting the glory days of the mid 90s. I honestly can't see Ashers pissing around, we'll get players KK wants (within reason). It's driving me schizophrenic. Some days I think we're in for a great summer and new season, other times I think it's all a big ruse and we're going to get shafted!! *repeatedly washes hands* It takes time to learn the way of the Parky.

Needs banning tbh. Totally beyond the pale!!

He looks better than Droga tbh.

Scottish politics not your strong point then? Perhaps I was being a bit strong but he seems to have moved a long way from his socialist roots in recent times. It is cheaper to be a student in Scotland than anywhere else in Britain. pensioners don't pay for a lot. pretty soon no one will pay prescription charges. Our council tax for lower end families is coming down. We have in Scottish hydro elctric the cheapest fuel provider in Britain. Just defeated Tory and Lib Dem bill to de nationalise the water company. When the Tories win the next westminster elections it will gift Scotland to the Nats. In which case watch the moves toward becoming completely self sufficient in hydro wind and wave electricity. ...and at that point we'll invade and take it all off yer hands.

he's 22, and has been called up a few times for france but not played he is competing against some pretty fucking good players there though his goal record is actually closer to 1 in 3 and drogba wasn't getting that at his age He'll be 23 by the time the new season starts. Oh noes cancel the deal!!!

The new Drogba? Sign him! He gots da moves innit.

Excellent.

Meetings in London though...

Have to disagree, I don't think KK would be hanging around if he couldn't bring 2/3 good players in.

I'd get bids in for Dunne, Wright Phillips, Sidwell and Arshavin pronto. That would be most of our problems sorted in one go. Combined £28m. I consider £30m ish...About right. Wages will be more or less covered by the exit of Smith, Duff, Cacapa and Zoggy (wages and fees). Keep a hold of Owen. Slap £20m on Martins head. As said earlier with KK we can safely see the garnering of another 12 points or so with the current squad, with some astute spending we may add another 10. It's easy this football lark. I'd agree with that as far as signings go, not sure about sidwell, think we could do better than that, at least get someone who has played football this season, a long time on the bench can destroy players (ala duff, he was injured too but still) I'd have harper from reading as long as he got a shirt that fit and there are one or two from birmingham I'd take that we could probably get reasonably cheap Aye there is that young DM at Brum forget his name. muamba? I'd take kapo too, bit of power for the midfield which does lack muscle really Muamba aye. What about Jerome??

We might even finish above Arsenal. We don't have enough ambition for that. I was taking the piss out of your pre-season prediction numbnuts. It wasn't a prediction it was speculation to garner debate. Did they win anything this year btw? You were speculating there was a good chance we'd finish above them weren't you? Not predicting. I was taking the piss out of your speculation then. ...and you're always welcome to do that.

Setting aside the winter of our discontent we look forward to the summer of our rebirth. In the hot seat one of the most enigmatic managers to grace the game and an owner whos net worth is stellar gives us a real chance now to set down a marker. How would you wish us to proceed?

Agreed.

How do you know that btw? Times List, Chron article, Guardian last year, Telegraph this year.

He's on 102k.

Total PL TV revenue this year is 1.7 Billion of the top of my head. Cannota finda da linka....(looking). I estimate we'll get about £42m. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/153...V-windfall.html
