Silly money for Huth. Hasnt proven anything at chelsea. A huge gamble. that oneywu looked abit dodgy also but that might just be because USA were **** at the WC...

We need midfielders once again. No doubt we prob wont get any

I've seen Onyewu play last season when Standard de Liege visited my home team, and he's hugely talented and impressive. strenght, ability, good awareness. he only lacks a tad in pace, but he makes up for that in positioning.
USA have a rubbish defence, so he couldn't have done well, ever.


good buy for £2m imo.

So we've got an ex-mackem manager as our assistant?

[Powlay]

Watching the world cup games, and from what others have said he sounds like the perfect replacement for Ugo.

Strong in the air, physically strong, and not afraid of whacking someone. Lacks pace...sounds like a mirror image but younger and no doubt wage wise a hell of a lot cheaper

yes
Looks good huh?

[BoroPhil]

When are the new football threads going to be added to the header? I had to take such a long winded way to get here

Hope the Malbranque rumours are true, he would be an excellent signing on the right. If not, how about Ribery from France? They said last night he could be on his way to England, although maybe he'd be off to a bigger club than us.

Doesn't sound like Southgate is too impressed with Goochy as we haven't progressed with that.

And don't sell Viduka ffs

[Cheese On Toast]

how are we affording all these transfers?

£5m for huth :/
£5m+ for steed
£2m for oneywu

we've not had any money back yet have we?

And i dont like Ribery, doesnt exactly seem that decent and he'd go to the bigger clubs anyway.

[BoroPhil]

Gibbo must be shovelling into his pockets.

[finneys13]

What has happened to Malcolm Christie? Was decent once upon a time.

[BoroPhil]

constantly injured for about three years. has been fit since March, and fingers crossed will have a full pre-season.

I think he has a year left on his contract, and he may well be involved if we sell Maccarone, Viduka and JFH.

Good player, real shame what's happened to him.

[Mr Cool]

I hope we don't sell Viduka, he was essential for us last season. I'd even give Jimmy another year. He may be 35 but he still knows where the goal is and is useful.
