Meenzer 15518 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Wonder what his reception is going to be like... He'll get booed at first, without a doubt. Can't imagine it'd last all game or anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 When is the final day of the window, did I read somewhere it had been extenderised? Yes, it's been extended till Monday midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10855 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Wonder what his reception is going to be like... I don't begrudge him leaving, pretty apathetic to the whole thing to be honest. I don't put him in the same bracket as N'Zogbia with regards to promise, and I don't have enmity towards him in the same way as I do Jenas... I just meh him. really, whah did he say? noh much, he was eahing a huna sandwich you cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just to be clear, this doesnt reduce the wage bill by 15k. It reduces it by 15k + what Milner was demanding. ...which was parity with Taylor = £35K/week ....but now we need to buy 2 £35K/week midfielders by Monday, rather than the one we were after previously. Now we've got an extra salary and 12m to do it with, on top of what we had before. Aye, if it is £12M for a lad who's not even been in his international squad, then we've raped the shit out of them. And if a few deals come off I'll be over the moon. The positivity over this sale seems at odds with the panic strewn whining about the sparsity of our squad over the last week though.

There are a lot of our fans who really rate Milner (singing his name to come on etc) and there are a lot of our fans (on the internet) who dont have a clue about attracting top players to our club. Hence the fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1207 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 For MA, great £12m quid back into the club minus the money to Bates. For the fans what? Its not going in our pockets and the only return we'll see is if we replace what we've sold with players who are going to improve on that. I think now that another regular first team player has gone, im now thinking of pressing the panic button tomorrow morning rather than tomorrow afternoon. I hope and pray that the signings KK is talking about materialise and theyre not just last minute squad fillers which we've seen coming through the door as the window has closed in previous seasons.

KK said that the Milner money will be his to spend but it didnt matter anyway because he had money to spend on who he wants. Also said his phone hasnt stopped ringing from agents phoning him up but says he only wants top quality and would rather make do till January with this squad than sign rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontoasey 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 All will become clear in the next 4 days as to wether we have a mediocre season or a real belter in terms of ambition and moving the club forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous window has shown Keegly would rather end it understrength than take on players he doesn't rate for the sake of having someone to warm the bench.

If you take away some of the first teamers, theres absolutely nothing beyond them. Who will play right midfield now? Guti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4378 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Can anyone guess why "in for 4 or 5" translates to "see where 2 or 3 go" - does that mean offers are in which are unaccepted but still on the table which we might get a callback for?

David Kelly 1244 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It does sound like Keegan is actually quite confident of making signings and honestly I can't beleive he would have risked leaving the squad this weak if he didn't think he was going to get more players in. Whether those players are of the quality to move us forward remains to be seen. I don't fancy our chances tomorrow now like (not that I ever really did). If you take Milner, Martins and Duff out of the starting line up for the last two league games, we have Enrique, Owen and Geremi to bring in. Leaving us with (Possibly) Cacapa and Edgar with Premiership experience and Bassong that's played one game for us. It really does bring home how small the squad is.

Looks like a weak line up for tomorrow any way you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one thing I do have against the man - he wrote off a season in January which I don't think was fair on the fans as well as selling a real hero of mine. Football has changed a bit since then before someone says that all seasons are semi-pointless now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Top interview from KK. Something must be happening behind the scenes if he's went from "not confident at getting people in" to "3 or 4 players before the end of the window" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Keegan had a flight at 3pm today? Where's he off to then? Monaco, with a suitcase full of cash and a contract with Arshavin's name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
