Rubbish. Oakley could pass his ass sideways up to 10 yards all day long.

That's what happens when you go into donkey ownership.

Surely if we make even more new signings with this Thai money we'll have to ship out some of the players we already have won't we?
If, for example, we got some kind of attacking-midfield player, we'd have to get rid of one of the following from either N'Guessen, Dyer, or Gallagher.
If you actually look at our squad now, we have at least two players for every position. I'm not saying all those current players are good enough, but it is the case that numerically, our squad would be so large with any more signings that many of last season's semi-regulars would not even be on the bench.

I would love to know who is doing our scouting this season and/or what form our scouting takes.

The list in their Sunday Times World Cup guide? That explains the persistent Messi rumours.

So far the signings have been freebies to shore up the squad. All the names of 'big money' transfers have been Fox Talk and other wild speculations: what makes anyone think that there is not a superb scouting system in place?

Worrying.. Although if it was Keisuke Honda(sp?) they were trying to get I'd be delighted, he's quality.

**** sake, I really am getting annoyed with these stupid waste of time signings, sign some English players who are experienced and know how to play in the Championship.
You mean like most of our starting 11 yesterday?

Yeah!
football rumours has pratley for 2m, ebanks blake as part of a deal to take Fryatt to Wolves and interest in Heskey loan and Danny Rose from Tottenham loan. All sound like strong players to be added to the squad to me. However if even 2 of them happen i'll be very, very surprised. Pratley looks immense for Swansea though.
