[Lord Kangana]

You're such a glass half full man.

Probably, and having Davis, Rickets and Holden back will be like having signed three more. Sorted.

[Lord Kangana]

Gardner is the ultimate "like a whole new signing" this year.

Yeah and which one of those will play up front?

Davo and Blakey, obviously.

Humour, dear boy, just humour.

vvvvvvvITK we are not signing Messi this summer. You heard it here first.

My source has confirmed that this is the case, so it is indeed 100% true, we have not made an attempt to sign Lionel Messi. Coyle is attempting to sign other players though

So if he's shit-hot next season, Benfica wont sell him?
Basically then why's it a special loan?

[truewhite15]

I'm happy with Pratley, and I'll be happy if we re-sign Rodrigo. But we still need a striker or two, probably a centre back or two (unless Connolly's ready to step up) - and hopefully some type of marquee signing, though I'll be just as happy if said marquee signing fits into one of the previous categories...

Is there any mention of Sergio Ramos as right back?

Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have put a “not for sale” sign on defender Rhys Williams.

I bet that will cramp his holiday sun-bathing style...

Judging on that article alone it looks like the 'special' part of it is in relation to the future fee. It sounds as if the fee will rise dependant on the number of appearances or goals he scores, to a maximum 4 million (id also guess the minimum was 2-2.5 mil.)

Again from that article it doesn't seem like Benfica will have too much of a say over selling him when/if we meet the fee determined in the loan deal.

so it's in our interests to have him for a season - and him not really shine (cos we play him in goal?) - then buy him cheap - and then unleash him in 2012/13?

[Lord Kangana]

I'd take him for another year, defo.

Cheers...any chance you can take Marc fcking Iles' place in writing these articles, so they make sense?

[truewhite15]

Aye, it seems that (basically) we've signed him permanently, but the fee will be handed over next summer, and the size of it depends on how he does this season.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

So we may end up playing him less in order to pay less?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Overpriced

That's the worry.
