WEST HAM WANT BECKHAM AND RONALDINHO

we do? or do you mean the ickle wickle paper says we do?

i really hope they do. Since City became a bit more sensible we really need a club making batsh1t mental signings

City 'sensible'???

Paying twice the price for every player they sign?

SENSIBLE?

How much was Lescott again?

it's a just mental. a squad of about 50 players. yep that'll work well for team spirit. dug out will be go down to about the penalty area.

key word being "became"

of course we pay a bit more over the odds because we're City, but none of our signings this period have been massively over the top

also, we're signing up and coming, young players with good attitudes to fill gaps in the squad. Rather than trying to buy ****ing Ronaldinho again

True, all of them have.

what would you say are the market values for

Silva
Toure
Kolarov
Boateng

go on, indulge me

I wouldn't want my team to spend a penny over £35m for all four of them tbh but then i wouldn't want my team to sign any of them anyway.

35 million isn't the market value though, is it?

we're signing up and coming, young players with good attitudes to fill gaps in the squad. 

That's no doubt why your squad of players is 37 strong!!  There must have been rather a lot of gaps!

there are, cheers. At the end of last season we were playing with the geriatric Vieira in midfield because we had nobody else.

how many of that 37 are actually good enough to attack the top of the league? How many were brought in by previous managers, nay previous administrations? There will be a major clear out

What sort of wages are being payed to silva?

nobody knows, it hasn't been publicised. I'm sure the red tops will say it's 300k a week and every mong will lap it up though

Don't know wages but if £20M+ is the transfer fee you can guarantee wages will be significant. What happens when they don't live up to expectations, which some undoubtedly won't. Can't see it being to easy to get them off the books, especially as most seem to be on 5yr contracts.

it's a fair point, but it's an issue any big spending football team has to face. There's no way around it, except to pick your players carefully. I think the guys at the top have learnt from previous mistakes

the porn twins are skint ..they are putting out countless rubbish about all these superstars they are trying to sign, knowing full well they will not come, but it appeases the potential season ticket holders
