Possibly the funniest thing i have ever read on here. I doth my cap in your direction sir.

Anyone remember that penalty miss when he ran from almost the half way line to take it! Think it was against Palace.

I certainly do.

They are playing it exactly like I play football manager. Buy loads if promising youngsters and eventually you strike gold.

This is a good business model to follow with little financial risk. You just need the initial, relatively small outlay (which we didn't have previously)

All successful teams have a mixture of youth and experience.

If this turns out to be not true I'll be disappointed as he is very highly rated.

Midfielder Mauro Formica will not be joining Genoa after his proposed move from Newell's Old Boys collapsed today.

"The deal fell through and it was partly our fault," club president Enrico Preziosi told Sky Italia. "However, we are looking at other possibilities.

"Like others, we are waiting to see what happens with (Fiorentina striker Adrian) Mutu.

"Mutu is a player that does interest us but we have not spoken to Fiorentina yet."

Mutu was dropped from the squad for leaving a training session early, and his future at Fiorentina is up in the air.

With regards to the'Big Name signing'..

As time passes and we start to become accustomed to the quirks and foibles of the new owners, I think it’s fairly clear that the only one who has been consistent and honest from the start is Mrs Desai.

She hasn't though. I can't be bothered to dredge them up, but she has made contradictory statements too. Mostly early on.

Argentine top flight club Newell's Old Boys confirmed Tuesday that their attacking midfielder Mauro Formica has agreed to transfer to Italian Serie A club Genoa.

Guillermo Lorente, president of Newell's Old Boys confirmed Formica's four-million-euro move. And the 22-year-old will join countrymen Rodrigo Palacio and Franco Zuculini in Genoa, who are currently 13th ranked in the league standings.

Formica, debuting in the Argentine first division in 2006, has owned 83 caps for the Newell's and scored 20 goals.

Speculation that he failed a medical at Genoa.

Please go to the effort.

Because I don't think it's true

Formica is apparently on his way to west ham for 3.2 mil,although someone has edited his club on wiki to galatasaray.i don't know how to post links just google his name and you will see the west ham story.

[Bobby G]

Supposed to be 4m euros and a 4.5 year contract. If true it must be the end of Adam.

Indeed. We have plenty of experience already.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Formica is highly rated and a playmaker type of player.

IMScouting earlier in the month did a feature on 5 playmakers that Rovers could target:

No link i am afraid. As i said, i am not sure about the validity of the comments but it appears they are gathering pace.
