Too much money. Good player but we should tell them to get stuffed (although we won't!). But we've only ourselves to blame with the ludicrous amounts paid for Carroll & Henderson. We're now as much to blame for inflated fees as Chelsea & Man City, but without the resources to maintain and compete with them financially.

a fair point. I am more worried about the playrs not leaving than those coming in. We do not need 8/9players hanging about on big wages who do not feature in Kenny's plans. I would be happier if Degan/Aquliani/Ngog/Cole/Jovo
Insua/El Zhar/Jones/Poulson/Konchesky/kyriakos were all found new homes asap.
Thats alot of money tied up in crap. on top of that we have darby/Ayala/Pacheco/Ince/eccleston all returning from loan. we are looking at loaning or selling 15+ players. Just to make us lean before purchases.

Poulsen is going to sign for a lower team in EPL ... either QPR or Stoke

villa don't really think they'll get 19 million and we won't pay that. i think we have nzogbia lined up ready and we're in no rush to sign downing and we want to spend about 12 million on him, so im guessing if we do sign downing it'll be for about 15/16 million the clubs will meet in the middle. i think this is some peoples first summer transfer window.

Diego Forlan has been told he can leave Madrid. A decent back up for little or no money, who plays well with Suarez? We know he was [oops] on his first visit to england but with his record since he left would it be worth giving him a go?

Good shout. Would be nice payback to the Mancs for that little cretin going to them, if nothing else. And a huge psychological 1up for Kenny on Fergie. Plus, i think they still sing the song about 'Diego' scoring those 2 goals against us that time when Dudek was shocking.

On a more serious note though, he could actually be a good signing as a back up/rotated striker. It's been proven that he and Suarez link up really well together too.

I have seen again today that we're still in for Clichey and that he'd be up for a move. It would be a good bit of business if we got that one done.

I wonder....was talking to an out and out Arsenal fan and he says we are welcome to him, as he hasn't played well in yolks!!

I've heard that a good bit too. A lot of Liverpool fans said that about Torres when he went to Chelski. Could it be more sour grapes talking than anything else?
