There are quite a few quizzes on that site.

Not enough imo

I just hope the FA do more, like an eight months ban plus a hefty fine.

<sarcastic mode on>
But then I suppose if it was the club from across the town, it would be an eight months ban plus a hefty fine.
<sarcastic mode off>

It will be interesting to see what the FA will impose upon Thatcher.

I seem to remember seeing that they wanted to send him on an anger management course ;) :D

Rossi is going to Newcastle on loan, does this mean another striker coming in?

Hmmm interesting......
It's either that or Smith is making a speedy recovery.
We will find out tomorrow, what time is the transfer deadline ?

The deadline's midnight tonight :tu:

Sky Sports were reporting last week that Smith managed 60-odd minutes of a reserve game, so I don't think that he's that far from a return, which should be pretty good news for Man U fans :)

Talk about a shock!!!

Hammers to net Tevez & Mascherano
Argentina striker Carlos Tevez says he and team-mate Javier Mascherano have agreed to sign for West Ham.
The World Cup duo, who both play for Corinthians in Brazil, are set to move to Upton Park on a year-long loan.

Tevez, 22, claims on his website he and Mascherano, 22, have signed contracts with West Ham despite being linked with moves to Manchester United and Arsenal.

The Hammers are thought to have struck a deal with Media Sports Investments, who own the rights to the two players.

seems like Man City have done the decent thing but he is only missing games against reading, Chesterfield and Blackburn all sides low down who City should be beating

looks like once again Man U are missing out on two of the players we need to get for the future.. can't see why we pushed the boat out for Hargreaves and let both of these two slip by.. not hope the story on Teves' website isn't true

Its only a season loan, could be handy seeing how they handle the prem. Or of course it could be a ploy to get Utd/Arsenal bidding.

Apparently we tried to sign Mascherano in January, I never thought we would though :tu:

Will be bittersweet, I imagine, if they click and play well and knowing you'll only have them for a season.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
the thing is we need a striker now and we can get them cheap because of all the probs at Corinthians.. surely now is the time to get them not after they have played in the prem for a season and doubled their price

They won't be cheap its all to do with MSI who own the rights to the players. Funnily enough one of the bosses at MSI also tried to form a take over of West Ham.

"Own the rights" - what's next? Arbitraging futures in Hedge Funds about footballers?
