Why was this edited mods, can't even remember what I wrote was it that bad :?

Re-Berbatov, I thought he did alright. his movement on and off the ball was the best thing that Fulham had to offer. He got frustrated because the players around him are limited, something he won't have a problem with here.

I'd rather someone better but he's cheap which means everything to the pinchers that run our club.

Well, I would rather have Mirko than that "kid on a train to London" from Ligue 2, if we are deciding on where to spend 10m :lol: :lol:

This is where the club's policy with over 30s astounds me. If the fall out is supposedly between a 2 year and a 3 year deal what the fuck have the club got to lose offering three. He'll still have a year left on his deal after 2 years, you'll get a fee for him still and there are bound to be other clubs who still want him aged 33.

But it's ok to buy a useless *word censored* like Silvestre (age 31) and him on a 2 year deal who has no affinity or playing time for the club... Arsehole logic!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I think it was only a few weeks after that deal when Ferguson started 'buddying up' to There's Only One declaring his respect for him. Not surprised - he must have been laughing all the way to the bank when he came and took that useless wanker off his hands

Sagna is 31 now so do you think offering him a 3 yr deal is wise?

I do not think it would be too hard to find a RB as good as, if not better than. Sagna tbh. Coleman.

You are having a laff - zabelta is the only full back that is as good defensively as sagna and I'm talking about in world football and not just the premier league. You guys make me laugh.....you think that wenker would spend 15m+ on a full back (like he would have to if he wanted Coleman ) ? If we let sagna walk away on a free in the summer then somebody should lose their job as a result of it :evil:

We have an 'internal solution' in Jenkinson. Not as good as Sagna? Certainly not - but when has that stopped the Self Harmer from going back to the start of the jigsaw again in every other position on the field

This time next year we'll be moaning about the number of goals coming in from our right hand side
