Good news, Owen says he has more transfer targets then a bit about Wheater losing to him at Table Tennis.

Okay.. So now because we have spent money on Wheater, that means we're willing to knock £7 Million off of the asking price for Cahill? In order to service the debt? Leaving us potentially £10 Million worse off?

That makes perfect business sense

Didn't Ireland once say he'd never sign for us. Something along the lines of that we're not the sort of club he wants to progress his career in?

Mind, he was City's player of the season a couple of years ago....

Wouldn't surprise me if we have interest as I reckon we're after two loan players.

Would surprise me if we managed to do a deal considering Villa want his 60K wages off the books and can't see us paying that in full.

Can't see where he'd play in our 4-4-2 system!

Think it's a combination of getting some wages off the books but also hoping he can regain his form thus increasing his transfer fee next summer. Right now they are looking like they might lose money.

And if we sell Cahill, we're no better off for defensive cover, unless we have another CD lined up....

:D

Had a couple friends putting the same thing forward to me yesterday. Had to explain we were very short in that position and getting another CB in was imperative even if we don't sell Cahill so the move has no meaning.

I think i'll just wait for the next Nixon article :)

I recall Wenger saying a decision would be made about Vela after their replay with Leeds, so that should resurface soon one way or another.

The Stephen Ireland one seems to have come out of the blue, but the site the rumour is on looks like tribalfootball's bastard son, conceived by accidident in a dark alley behind Ritzy's after a night on the lambrini with talksport.

Is Newcastle big enough? Ireland's a fairly big place!

According to the Daily Facist... Who also confirm our interest, no one else is running the story. Not saying ti's wrong, but I'll wait until more are running it before believing it.

Better than passing it off as your own though I'd suggest.

Anyway, Stephen Ireland going to Newcastle sums him up as a person. He should be begging Coyle to help sort his career out.

No contest.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
