    Honestly, does it really matter? If somebody asks you in the pub if you've heard any City transfer rumours and are then questioned, would you then go "oh I heard it on the Internet from somebody I've never met?" Even if the person said they were best mates with Nick Thompson, you have no sure fire way of knowing if they are true or not. (Not a dig at you by the way, just quoted you as a reference :p )

    If it turns out not to be true, then you can question the source but I don't think the source at this point really matters. Unless of course you were a professional journalist looking to publish some solid rumours and are trawling message boards for some reason. Which ironically is what the HDM seem to be doing at the minute.

    Based on tonight's showing, it was about £3m too much.

    That's what the HDM are doing is it?

    Hmm...

    I've just heard from a reliable source, who has an immaculate record previously, that we are willing to meet Lionel Messi's release clause of £100+million. We're just discussing personal terms now. Neymar was bought to replace him, anticipating his move here to Hull.

    ;)

    Eric Lichaj has been released by Aston Villa, he's still fairly young and made 17 appearances in the Premier League last year, only losing his place to the impressive Matt Lowton. Pretty versatile too, can play at LB or RB and wouldn't need a work permit as he holds a Polish passport.

    Anybody else think he'd be worth a punt?

    I believe he plays OK in some foreign league, but will he make it in the Premier League?

    He'll never get in ahead of Evans, so I can't see it. The Irish lads will do him in, the daft Argie ponce.

    EDIT: Quick, send a press release to the HDM with a photoshop of him coming out of Tradex!

    As I said, it wasn't a dig at you, everybody wants new information, I just don't think it matters where it comes from.

    A full stop, a space, then a question mark, that has to be a first, well done!

    Redmond was probably the only highlight of that match from an England perspective.

    Here in Adelaide, it is reported that Schwarzer has quit Fulham and would prefer to stay in England. I think he would be alright for us. Not expensive and gives 100%

    I have no idea what Sinan Bolat would cost, so don't know whether he's a realistic option or not, but I reckon he's an excellent keeper and fairly young too, I think.

    Just noticed in that link that Leeds have signed Noel Hunt on a free (still too much if you ask me). Goes to show how far we've come when we're arguing about whether Odenwingie is good enough and worth £3m and TWS are rooting around in the bottom of the trough.

    Chris McCann.!!!!!! Charlie Austin is not worth a penny more than £3m upfront with add ons for survival. imo. Anymore than that and we may as well go in for Odemwingie who is at least PL proven.

    Birmingham press have Redmond being quoted as saying that he wants to stay and play @ Birmingham and not become a PL bench warmer.


    The other £200k would cover the other 10. What a pile of brown stuff last night. In saying that the hat stand next to the goal was wrong to dis-allow the goal.

    Who made you head of english then ? <laugh> But glad that you noticed even though its not really needed on here.

    Has to be our No.1 target now as he ticks most of the required boxes.
