I don't see how Barry is much more of an improvement than Xabi Alonso, if we got for him for 12 million then I would be happy with that. One of our strongest areas last year was central midefield.
Obviously we played better with Gerrard behind Torres but I read somewhere that Gerrard prefered playing back in the centre. |

That's true, I was shocked when I heard we were going in for Keane but if we do get rid of Crouch then we do need to get in another foward. Kuyt rarely scores and rarely plays up front and Voronin isn't good enough.
Plus if Torres is out for a while, at least we have a quality replacement. |

As much as I despise Tottenham, I would hate to see Robbie Keane on Liverpool.

Andy Cole to Notts Forrest? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Aparently we are sniffing for 2 strikers right now, one is from Egypt called Meteb or something, the other I've heard could be Tyson from Forrest. Just glad we are looking at strengthening our weakest points. And we are meant to be 1 of 5 clubs trying to get Kevin Phillips, I would be sooo fucking happy if we somehow convinced him to join us. |

Since we are so dead right about now on this forum, what is the history behind Nottingham Forest? From casual research I know they used to be huge, but now are in what, League One? What happened? Could they ever get back?

Notts Forest have won the old First Division once, yet won the European Cup twice back in the 1970's, were pretty much a huge club from the 1970's until around the late 1990's. They still have the potential to be a decent Premier League side but have not come anywhere near to doing so for quite some years. They got promoted to the Championship after finishing as runners up in League One last season

Nottingham Forest are one of those sides like Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday who deserve to be in the premiership because they are big clubs, regardless of how shit their players currently are and the fact they haven't won anything in decades.

Quite right too. Shite like Portsmouth, Fulham and Wigan shouldn't be anywhere near the premiership.
Come on Rob, having good players and winning games and trophies should NOT get you a place in the premiership and you know it. We are just making up the numbers until sleeping giants like Southampton and Coventry wake up and reclaim their rightful place. They've got very nice stadiums and big fan bases don't you know. |

He's not really the same player, is he?
The system will be getting pretty ridiculous if he goes there, as he and Carlos Tevez would probably be splitting time. |

Looks like our guys have learned from last seaon and are keeping themselves quiet on the transfer front, maybe we won't pay those ridiculous fees we were accused of last season.

I'm surprised there hasn't been much movement on Chelsea's front. Deco in, Lamps out? Has anything else happened?
Anyway, Arsenal are going to have to sell their top players for decades to come

Arsenal are fucking nuts if they don't sell Adebayor for £25 million.

He might do alright there. I think more British players should try playing abroad. Paul Lambert and John Collins both came back from Europe at least twice as good as they were before.

Adebayor is the same age as and scored the same number of goals as Fernando Torres last season.
He was Arsenal's top scorer with 24 premier league goals. Why are they crazy for wanting to keep him?

Who would Arsenal get to replace Adebayor?? Doubt they could get someone better within their budget
