Our attacking options are pretty limited and we need to bring in another out and out goalscorer who is going to get us 15-20 goals a season. It will be nice to have Yakubu back next season too!

Jo has been an okay player for us, but lets be honest, he is still yet to set the Premiership alight. Sorry, but he isn't worth the £18M asking fee. Jamaine Beckford from Leeds has just been transfer listed as he refused to sign a 3 year extention to his existing contract. Not sure how he would deal with playing in the countries top division though. May be worth a shot at around £4M or £5M and we all know how Moyes looks at the lower divisions for tallent...

For now...3 days till Wembley!

Agreed that Owen would be worth a punt on a free, and on a more modest wage too. I really hope the Yak can come back as good as prior to his injury. His running and work-rate were never his strong points, but he knew how to score so fingers crossed for a quick return.

Jo would also be worth another loan if that was a possibility, but i too don't rate him worth anything like the fee City paid. I know we were after Kevin Kuranyi from Schalke? He would be worth a gamble if the fee was reasonable or better still, if a loan deal could be struck.

COYB!

Yeah I heard the same and I think Thompson deffo made something out of nothing.

Speakin about Liverpool it's been reported in the press that Rafa has told Babel he can begin lookin for another club. Personally I like Babel, but if he's only ever gonna be used as a squad player and make the odd apperance from the bench, then I think we should let him go and try and get a decent fee for him.

I really liked the look of Babel last season, but this season he has been awful. I thought that this season might of been his time to shine, but it wasn't. He doesn't look interested anymore. I must admit though, he played brilliant against Madrid and mad Ramos look like a conference player.

Personally, I think we should keep Babel until January. See if he is any better, if not, sell!

I'm not going to the Beamback, but I will be in and around pubs down there for sure...at least that's the plan thus far!...

2 days to go!

[liljovi93]

Well this thread hasn't had many posts in the last few days ...

[RS8MB0R8]

What do we reckon to the transfer speculation then?

I always like to keep up with all the tabloid hypothesising, although there hasn't been anything major spoken about yet just a lot of empty rumours flying about.

Will Ronaldo leave? Will Barry choose City or Liverpool? Does Ancelotti seriously think he can tempt Kaka to Stamford Bridge?...

Gareth Barry signs for Manchester City for £12m on a five year deal.


After 11 years at the Villa, and being a great leader and one of the most consistent performers in the Premiership. No Villa fan would blame him for wanting to leave to go to Liverpool or another Champions League team somewhere. He's put on top-class performances year after year, but he needs to be playing at the highest level at this stage of his career.
I reckon he would have still got a great reception upon his return next season.

But...

...he has left to join a team of misfits that had to scrap for a top-ten place this season, didnt come close to challenging for ANYTHING, and are not in Europe at all next season (let alone the Champions league!).

Gareth Barry, you money-grabbing little swine!!

Can't wait to hear how much he is getting. How the hell can he say he wants to leave to play Champions League footy and then go to City! Maybe he thinks they have potential or something, I don't know. It's all about the money.

I think Barry will regret his move to City when they are still mid table/top 8 come the end of next season. I can't f*cking stand Mark Hughes the mopey miserable bastard. Hope he gets the bullet soon.

Lmao @ Tony Adams making a total tit of himself about the Celtic job.
