I'm quite surprised nobody has made an offer for Nigel Quashie.

They only signed him a few months ago for over £2m, no one would pay more than that now and they wouldn't let him go on the cheap

They'd get £2 mill on him now. Jesus, Leicester just got that for David Connelly!

I dunno, i thought maybe West Ham might go for him but i guess not. I wouldn't pay more than £1m for him, I think we did well getting £2.1m for him. He's improved since he started playing for Scotland but he's a bit limited still.

It's official that Solano is back at Newcastle. James Milner went to Villa on 1 year loan.

Solano is far, far, far better than Dyer on the right. 3rd highest assists in the Prem of all time should tell you something. Dyer's simply overrated. Jenas is a highly average player, and I have no doubt that Newcastle practically ripped Spurs' hand off when they offered that much. Your defence in general is pretty shit. You also have a lot of pretty boys now who will all get pissy under Souness - I guarantee you won't make Top 8. Your squad will be tearing eachother apart within two months. |

 Newcastle should make the top 8 no problem on paper and I think we will. Just depends how Souness manages them all. And yeah that Rasiak deal came out of nowhere. Poor Derby - not going to come up now I think

In many ways it's a great deal for us. O'Leary stuck to his guns on the price which Shepherd said he wouldn't pay and he got it, £1.5 million for a 30+ player who would be off on a free in 11 months.
And we get Milner for a year - no doubt O'Leary will stroke him and tell him this is where he belongs. He'll grow into a good player and we'll sign him at the end of the season. Or he could do a Carlton Cole. |

hahahaha have it Derby.
Pretty gutted about Connolly going because he was our only real goalscorer but it's a tidy profit and hopefully they stay up so we get the extra million, apparantely it was going to be rejected but Connolly himself asked to go and can't deny him a crack at the premiership. We've made Elvis Hammond's loan deal permanent and signed Iain Hume, who's also pretty highly rated, though neither are prolific. Ah well, have to see how it goes. West Brom signed Curtis Davies aswell for £3m, which, despite a fairly inflated fee, is a good signing. |

Milner I feel will become a good player, you're right. At the moment though I don't think he's got much going for him apart from his good energy. His finishing and final ball are all pretty poor. Thing is hes only 19 so plenty of time to learn. |

We only ended up with Rockyourback & Jimmy Bad Hair (Rocembach (sp) & Xavier) which was a bit dissapointing but we have options now which im sure Mclaren will have to consider due to downings injury.
We could play 3 up top and 3 centre mid of Rocky, Boatang & Parlour or we could stick with Morrison on right & put young johnson on the left of even put French Franck on the left with pogetetz at left back, we could even put Morrison on the left and bring mendieta back in on the right. However mclaren will prob go for no creativity of Doriva on the left, Parlour on the right with Rocky & Boatang in the centre. I think we will struggle this season. Lower mid table finish is what im thinking at the moment. |

Oh yeah, i saw a load of links about him but did Hugo Viana actually go anywhere on loan?
He's a pretty handy player really, would give Newcastle some good depth. |

He's gone off to Valencia for the rest of the season.
The Newcastle fans really loved him but at the end of the day he was shit for us - lazy and just didn't adjust to the Premiership. I have no doubt he will go on to do good things elsewhere though. Plus like all his comments since haven't really endeared him any further with us. |

That's the one, i remember seeing that now.
Another foreign transfer that went through was Sergio Ramos from Sevilla to Real Madrid for £18m, their first Spanish signing for 5 years. Ronaldinho has extended his contract at Barcelona aswell

Wtf apparently Luke Young is going to start the England game. Pretty low standards to be an England right back these days. Never thought i'd say this but Gary Neville will be missed

So the transfer window is shut, all teams are left with what they have until january at least. Lets move on from the transfer gossip and take into acc what is happening now.
IT'S INTERNATIONAL WEEKEND PEOPLE !!!!!! So the rumour is that Sven will play a 4-5-1 formation against wales with Rooney spearheading the attack on his own ! Is this wise, Rooney likes to drop off so we could end up playing 4-6-0. I say give defoe his chance, he is doing well at the moment and he could prove to be the difference between the sides. Opinions, thoughts on how you think england/ your country will do in their qualifiers. |

To be fair Luke Young has been pretty good for Charlton, did well against Boro. I'd rather have him than Glen Johnson, and the only alternative was Phil Neville. Defoe should have started too, what's the betting that we'll be back to 4-4-2 on Wednesday when Owen's back?
Carragher will start in the centre, Doink, as John Terry is out. We really should win comfortably, Wales have only got a handful of premiership players and Bellamy is missing. Scotland-Italy should be alright too but i hope Rab Douglas doesn't play, even though he's been alright apart from his debut for us

England will win both games comfortably I reckon. I wasn't so much complaining at Luke Young being chosen I just think its sad that he's Englands second choice right back. Johnson shouldn't be picked for a while.
Definite return to 442 on Wednesday. |

My only worry over Luke young is lack of experience at International level, having seen the expected team I think we should do allright. Glen Johnson shouldnt be anywhere near the england squad IMO. Whats wrong with Danny Mills, from what ive seen and heard he is playing quite well at City!
epected line up is: .......................................Robinson................ ..............Young.........Carragher.......Ferdinand........A.Cole... ..Wright-Phillips...Beckham.......Lampard.....Gerrard......J.Cole.. ..........................................Rooney.................... Like I say just concerned over the experience on the right, not the quality of player and am worried we might be a bit limited in attack as Rooney & J.Cole both tend to wonder (not in a bad way as usually pick up good positions but put of position & if Rooney does that then who is ahead of him?)

Actually people are expecting Beckham to play deeper than the other 4. England should win even if they had Peter Crouch at Right back.

Could have got tickets for the Wales/England game tomorrow, but didn't bother. It would have been like walking into a battle field.
 I hope we do alright tomorrow, tough ask though obviously, but nobody expects us to do anything, so let's just go for it.

Solskjaer suffers new injury blow
Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suffered a new setback in his bid to recover from a knee injury. The 32-year-old Norwegian last played for United in the FA Cup Final win against Millwall in May 2004. Swedish knee specialist Lars Petersson said: "He has picked up a tear inside his knee. It is a very recent injury." Petersson operated on Solskjaer last year, and added: "I thought he might be back in October but it is impossible to set a date now." And asked whether he was totally confident Solskjaer will come back at all at the top-level, Petersson added: "No. I am never 100% sure in these cases." A spokesperson for Manchester United said the club would not comment on the report. |
