You think Southampton will sell him? I don't think theres a chance of that happening.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

A 3 match ban should suffice.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

We are proving we dont need him.

Reed is superb, with Wanyama, Cork and Davis too...

Ill wager Ron has his eyes on a replacement already and we will bank the majority of the cash.

Mourinho criticising Dowd for getting a decision right because he was too far away and should have given it wrong...He makes himself look quite stupid sometimes.

:woot:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It was a great result for Kane, and Spurs. What always annoys me about Chelsea, is the way Mourinho complains at officials when the decision goes against him.

It proved today that Mourinho complains about things that goes against his players, what about the nasty fould Cahill does against Kane on the floor.

Cahill, should have walked for the 'sticking the boot in' on Kane's back

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Can't say I blame him. I think had Liverpool not let the title slip last season he would have retired during the Summer.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He let that slip himself

I hope Liverpool wave him of with an fa cup or something, fitting end to a superb career with the club he has been a great servant to

I'm already fed up with all of this "love" for Gerrard, think what it will be like at the end of the season!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I must admit I detest Liverpool but, even despite the wankfest on ssnhq(hd!), he deserves to leave that club on a high.

They would be stupid not to take that, another Jack Rodwell IMO.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Barkley will go to a big club but surely he is not that stupid to go to Man City as he will never play there.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Barkley has soo much more potential than Rodwell SD

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He'll do better if he goes to a place where he'll play. No point warming the bench for City.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Listening to Robbie Savage is like listening to the village idiot of pundits.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Quite. Still, could have ended up with Michael Owen and using Ian Wright and Peter Taylor was really good so I'm quite happy with how BT handled that.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Never rated Savage as a player, and will never rate him as a pundit.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Looking forward to Henry on Sky. Since they fired Keys and Grey the punditry on Sky has improved so much.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

SkySports wont do the team any wrong letting Dwight Yorke go.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I disagree Damien, I think the punditry apart from Gary Neville has got worse. Miss Andy on commentary, Alan Smith is a poor replacement.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I would rather listen to Jonathan Pierce in all the games. I used to watch live games, with JP on the radio.
The commentators on Sky and BT are Crap and are biased.
Watching the games today, the commentators predicted who they wanted to win - the underdog, were beaten before they had kicked off.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Moyes beats Barca.��

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

+1

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think Jonathan Pearce is awful on the telly, but I used to listen to him on Capital Gold as well and used to think he was fantastic. I've always felt he's had to tone it down for the BBC, and instead he's just become a poor man's Alan Green.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sorry to say but Rodgers days are numbered after another appalling performance so far.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

None and if you think he's the answer to arses defensive woes then you're mistaken, as good a player as I think he is he won't make the Arsenal first team regularly.

---------- Post added at 01:51 ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 ----------

Why'd he do that, thought it was only Russ we picked on for multi clubbing glory hunting :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Actually not seen him around recently, a few years back he did deride my support of Rochdale where I was born and saw my first ever game with my Granddad, Oldham Athletic a team from the area I have lived in for many years and United, a team I have supported since 1958. I do also try to get to games at Rochdale or Oldham if United don't have a home game on the same day and don't think you could class supporting The Dale or The Latics as glory hunting.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Be interesting to see were he ends up, personally I think he's at his level already and no other club at that level is going to offer him better terms

Why oh why oh why did we not get him instead of Balotelli.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Apparently Ched Evans has been given a 2.5 year contract with Oldham. No idea how true this is, only saw it as Katie Hopkins has been mouthing off on Twitter saying good for Oldham, and getting a load of abuse from people for it.

---------- Post added at 12:42 ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 ----------

Ah, found an article.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...mpaigners.html

Be interesting to see if Ashley pulls the Sports Direct funding from the club, or if not whether that sparks a protest from Newcastle fans.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

United have signed Victor Valdes on a 1.5 year deal.

Not a bad deal for us, not least because it means he won't be going to Liverpool :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Still cannot understand why Oldham are getting involved until or unless Ched Evans has won his appeal review but if he did do so they would not be able to afford him. Rumoured that his girlfriends father who is a millionaire and a friend of Simon Corney, the owner of Oldham Athletic is going to pay his wages and possibly even make up some of the sponsorship shortfall. Not sure he would match the Sports direct money but he could possibly cover the other two.

If he does eventually get cleared it will look like a great piece of business but at the moment it is rather stupid IMHO.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

His father in law has denied that he's doing that. The reason Oldham want him is because he's better than League One and they wouldn't be able to get under normal circumstances.

I'm not making any comment about the rights or wrongs of it, mainly because I'm still not sure myself where I stand, but I am genuinely staggered that a club like Oldham can afford to lose the sponsorship it stands to lose by signing him.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Because he's a defender not a striker perhaps and because he wasn't for sale, not that it stopped the illegal approach, if the authorities are serious about stopping abuse they need to start revoking a few agents licences

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Might mean de gea is of at some point though

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He's a great keeper, experienced too but yes this raises worrying questions about De Gea's future. This has all the signs of another top United player being sold to RM. Who knows, Valdes might get a new lease of life at United but he's fairly short for a PL keeper and we won't get as many years out of him as De Gea has ahead of him. We might be splashing the cash at the moment but I can see United wanting to try to recoup some of it wherever possible, Welbeck being a good example.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You can have him old boy as he will never be the same as he was before.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Bad news for Aston Villa fans.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30731933

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I don't see the problem with it, he's come to the club being told he is the no.2 and will be able to help with De Geas development. The club won't sell De Gea unless he forces a move, and I seriously doubt signing Valdes is going to make him do that.

I can pretty much guarantee he's better than what you have at the moment!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I thought the same about Beckham and Ronnie although granted the former left under a cloud and the latter always wanted to end up at Real.

I just can't get my head around a keeper with his success and experience and clearly still with something to offer being happy to take a contract that gets him sitting out games most of the time.

Valdes turning up won't make him force a move but turning down an offer of being the no. 1 choice in goal for a bigger and currently better team (plus most likely a bigger pay packet) is a tough sell.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Valdes coming in won't force a sale but it looks obvious to me that they are planning ahead for the summer. One of them won't be there at the start of next season imo

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

l don't disagree but he has had a very serious injury and will never be the same again..

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sorry Dave but we need 3 points more then you do.:)

easiest points you have all season another disgraceful performance I take 4th bottom now utter crap we are

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You will survive dear chap.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Westley seems to have woken up at last, 4 league wins on the bounce now (I think anyway). Not so against him now.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes you are just below us now Mark.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes, 4 wins out of 5 apparently. I hope this is not a short term improvement, but the start of a long run which sees us getting automatic promotion back to League 1.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Our home form is keeping us in the play offs but we must improve our inconsistent away form.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Oh what a day......:D:D

Fantastic result for football.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Are you still confident Schneiderlin could be sold?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Seeing his reaction at the end, I wonder....

See how the rest of the month pans out. If we continue with this form, why would any player leave?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He will leave as once the big clubs click their fingers its Adios sadly for Southampton fans.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well, I bet those Southampton fans who criticised the decision to sell those players to Liverpool back in the Summer are feeling a bit stupid. And I bet those players are looking in envy at Southampton.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not sure about it being a fantastic result for football, it was that bad I nearly left at half time.:rolleyes:

Both teams where very poor, only a single shot on target the whole game. It was as bad as anything Moyes served up for sure.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Tadic after he scored, he took his shirt off and lowered his shorts (you could see his knickers) to show off his six pack. For a moment I thought he will pull the lot down...

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

still in shock when it broke here last night never ever thought we pay that kind of wages but we desperate at moment would cost lot more if we got relegated he should be a very good signing for us

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

you're getting rid of Altidore in the process. is this deal effectively - Altidore wages + Altidore wages x2 ?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Altidore was one of our highest earners on between 40k and 50K a week so not double wages for Defoe it a no brainer really as got rid of worst player I ever saw in Altidore for a proven Premier League goalscorer

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

factor in clauses/add-ons and it could well be double, upto 80k possibly? i was going to ask if you're happy Altidore is leaving ;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

getting flags out when he officially left mate :LOL:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I can't say I'm convinced about Sunderland signing Defoe. It's an awful lot of money, and the way Sunderland are currently set up means he'll either be playing on his own, which he can't, or they'll be going to two up front, which I'm not sure they have the players for. I think it's a desperate move personally, and one which will backfire financially, but me Gran's Sunderland so I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Gus has been saying he cant play way he wants as players not good enough for system he wants at moment and his comments lately been putting pressure on board to spend some money think he go 2 up front now we getting Defoe
