the man u attacking line up next year will be scary with nani and anderson on board on top of rooney, ronaldo, giggs and scholes. still think they need another great striker tho to back up rooney.
I'm buying a dons season ticket for the first ever time next season, ive finally found my faith again for some reason. The dutch guy on the wing should be decent and big jackie is a great signing. Bring on europe!!!

My team (Newcastle) haven't signed anybody so far, but there's been plenty of speculation. It goes without saying that we need to rebuild our defence; the only decent players we've got at the back are Steven Taylor and Nobby Solano (who's getting on a bit). Would like to see Leighton Baines or Nicky Shorey, Sol Campbell, Tal Ben Haim coming in as well as couple of trademark "Big Sam" signings; cheap, relatively unknown foreign players who turn out to be better than most of our better known players. Wouldn't mind seeing Mark Viduka pulling on a Toon top either, he'd be a great foil for Owen/Martins, and Giles Barnes at Derby looks pretty tasty too.

If Scott Parker ends up signing for West Ham I won't be too bothered, he was pretty attrocious last season, looked a shadow of his former self. Same goes for Damien Duff and Charles N'Zogbia, although I'm pretty confident that Allardyce can turn them around.

Just hope we don't go anywhere near Curtis Davies (over-priced and not very good), Peter Crouch (over-priced), Darren Bent (over-priced, too similar to Martins and Owen) or some of the Bolton players we've been linked with (O'Brien, Diouf, Nolan).

Im also a Newcastle fan but wouldnt moan about Nolan like. It'll never happen due to him being a local lad but i can't understand why you wouldnt want him in the side.

Apparently Anelka might be signing for Man U.

i just got told a story about darren mackie's stag do in a stripclub. he was wasted enough to fuck his back falling off the stage or something, and missed the game on the saturday. good work fella!

perhaps that's factually incorrect, i only repeat it. in any case, he deserves a day off for that backward header.

He'd cost quite a bit and I don't think he'd add a lot to our side; we've already got one midfielder with a lot of heart & passion but not much end product (Emre) and I don't think we really need another.

For what it's worth, I've got a couple of mates who support Bolton and they both reckon he has been one of their least consistant performers this past season.

[Sam L4]

Is Emre not wanting out? I know that was the rumour for most of the season?

[Murrr]

According to the press, aye. If he and Parker leave we could be very short in the CM position; Butt and Dyer would be our only recognised central midfielders which is far from ideal. Definitely a position we need to strengthen regardless of whether or not Parker/Emre/Dyer leave, but I'd rather go for a more creative option than Nolan.

[Sam L4]

You get to any games this season? I didn't manage to but am planning for one or two next season.

[Murrr]

Nah, none this season unfortunately but I'll definitely be making a couple of trips down next season, hopefully the Tyne & Wear derby will be one of 'em.

Pizarro to Chelsea, for £20586990000483.. no wait, free. Free? By my count that's two signings for them so far, both for free. Crazy days.
