Could be the next Lee Hughes.

On a different note, can anyone tell me what they think of our two new signings - Anthony Barness and Bojan Djordic.

davor sukor questioned over his agents murder?

What happened to ?uker's agent? This is kinda alarming for me....

Djordic is pish. Couldn't even cut it in the scottish premier league.


And suker's agent was shot.

[N.I.B]

ic. when was this?

[2NaFish]

not sure really. must've happened at the weekend tho.

[N.I.B]

k thanx.

what do u think about the new rule where the winning european champion's leauge team automaticly quailifies for next year?   

[Jamie]

I think it's fine as long as another team doesn't lose their place.

[Jim]

Well, it's come at a kind of weird time, seeing as they only just changed it that the holders on International tournaments don't automatically qualify....

...That said, the above actually benefits the holders.

So, regarding the Champions League, I have no major problem with it.

[N.I.B]

i dont like it, look what happened to france in '02. just cuz you win it one year dosnt automaticly mean your the best team the following year.

[2NaFish]

it's better that winners of major championships have to qualify for the next tournament. It means they don't have to spend two years playing meaningless friendlies - and with the crappy seeding system, there's never any chance they won't qualify again. Plus it frees up an extra space for other teams to qualify, and the australasian group is deserving of an automatic spot.

Plus scotland need as many opportunities to qualify as possible.

[Jim]

Yeah guys...

...Hence I said that the winners not automatically qualifying is actually better for them. 

[Izzy]

Geez - is the transfer market slow or what? Has any one signed anyone significant yet? I don't remember the summer months being so quiet as they have been this year - there aren't even the rumours of big moves.

[2NaFish]

del horno to chelski for 8million
parker went to newcastle for a couple.
that korean lad to manyoo for 4 mil.

[Jamie]

Yeah and United got Van Der Saar too.

I know - but thats not what i meant

Has any one signed anyone significant yet?

Another Spanish player and some average ex-Charlton player are not what i had in mind

[N.I.B]

Yeah and United got Van Der Saar too.

Man U?

[Izzy]

Yeah and United got Van Der Saar too.

Man U?

Man Utd got Van der Saar

He's good keeper but i don't think he's what Man Utd should have gone for, though i imagine his price was the decisive factor

[2NaFish]

Yeah and United got Van Der Saar too.

Man U?

Man Utd got Van der Saar

He's good keeper but i don't think he's what Man Utd should have gone for, though i imagine his price was the decisive factor

they could've had niemi for 2 million which is hardly a lot of money.

I agree - i think Van der Saar is a dodgy by - but thats all Fergie makes now....
