There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Was thinking similar meself...

I'm ok with lots of yoofs in the team, but we need a few older heads too.
I can't say I have seen him recently but I thought he was a Matty Taylor sort of player. No pace, good left foot and that's it. I personally would keep Taylor. At least he scores more goals.

We could do with pacey left winger.
In fairness, I haven't seen him play for a good while either. :-)

You have to think that someone who has 50+ caps for Germany has a slightly better all round game than Matt Taylor. :-)

1 area that West Ham lacked last season was a LW who was left footed. Always been a decent player, never forget when he hit that screamer against us when we had Poole in net i think was. Last min goal, Carlton Cole crossed the ball.

I don't ever remember seeing Hitzelsperger playing anywhere but the centre of the park... Winger? Nonsense!!

Because they are sucking £260,000.00 per week out of the club, and they can't carry on like that for the following reasons:

Cole, has been earning shedloads to sit on the injury table and then tabled ridiculous terms on his new contract proposal

Beletti is shite and is (I think) 34.. also on big money

Ballack is 34(?) and earned approximately £120,000 a week, he's getting niggly injuries and his wages are of better use elsewhere (new younger signings)

Didn't they play him in midfield for a bit too?

Decent enough player, but too old now.

Right back, has played in Midfield for Chelsea as he's comfortable on the ball and has a good shot on him.

Scored the winner in the 2006 Champions League final vs Arsenal!

Titus Bramble has signed for Sunderland, does this mean their title challenge is on this year? Where's Mad Marx when you need him? Gary Cahill joining my arse!
Pfffft.

... and a complete tunc & you can really only have 5 or 6 of those in your squad and Chelsea are somewhat over-subscribed.

Oyyy !! Leave Clowns out of this !

So, Newcastle have "won the race" to sign Sol Campbell. Well done lads.

It looks like Sol was simply determined to wear black & white stripes and play for "the Magpie's".

In a game of '6 degrees of separation' I expect his next move to be to Chorley then.

Bramble to Sunderland, Campbell to Newcastle. Looks like they're both expecting a defensive season.

If the keystone kops are your benchmark, maybe.

Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

More belting journalism, this time from the BBC, as, despite them being shit-houses, the Sun themselves never mention this gem in their own story.

"Arsenal are poised to move for Italy's first-choice goalkeeper Federico Marchetti after Cagliari put the 27-year-old up for sale.
Full story: The Sun"

That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.
