The text actually said that it was "Andy Wesh from Stockpost", So I dont think we should take that too seriously.

If that comes off, I'd love to see us make a loan move for Smertin. Very doubtful, but you never know.

Why would we need to change his position halfway through the season? And more to the point, since when has that been a rare occurance? As you say, he's a big boy, if he needed to change he would cope.

Whats wrong with playing him on the right ffs?! Thats his position!

Absolutely right. I'd throw in penalty taking as another reason, but I cant see it being relevant. Ferguson is also very adept at the Tim Sherwood-esque late run into the penalty area, his goals vs Birmingham and Liverpool last season being prime examples of this.

And what about the tactical change he made to the way we played last season, the new way in which he deployed Douglas and Flitcroft, that was a major part in us winning 4 games on the trot and securing our Premiership status for another year? Selective memory?

It will be Claudio Lopez from Lazio Click Here - Sky Sports WHOOOOOOSH!!! You're quick you arent ya?!

Cole leaving was always going to set off a Chain Reaction.........

No, it means the club dont want to admit that we got shafted.

I actually dont know where to start insulting you.

Tchocky likes cats too. He's a loose cannon.

Dickov is better than Gallagher though......

Bearing in mind it's a month away and we'll almost certainly have further squad changes - Friedel Neill Matteo Amoruso Gray Thompson Tugay Ferguson De Pedro Stead Dickov In particular I think the midfield looks very strong, up front we've got two players that will work their socks off for us, and defensively we're looking stable for the first time in a while. Looking forward to it now.

Brilliant stuff, gutted I'm missing out. Glad you're enjoying yourselves lads.

Have you been sober at all since arriving?

Or maybe the LET didnt send a photographer?

Oh, so it's £60k now? Christ almighty.

Absolutely Paul - 10 months of it ahead Any team news?

#...Who needs Andy Cole when we've got Gallagher...#

Makes Rovers current dilemma look like small fry!

I think that may have been down to Stam aparently calling Gary Neville a 'ç_nt' in his autobiography. Not particularly good for team morale that. I havent read it, but I believe he also made reference to Ferguson "tapping him up".

That he doesnt have a real passport.

I doubt he's legal yet.

See, a post that like is far far preferable in my eyes to yet another person going over the same old crap about Andy Cole. You can only seriously discuss things for so long until you've done it to death, which is when lightening the mood can help.
