I did say either now or the last year, makes it more relevant.

Also Dino clearly could not cut it in the PL- JJ has proven he can. He has international caps, a wealth of experience in a top league, CL experience and PL experience- proven himself- so £2.5 million Den, who would you buy?

Michael Ballack

Claude Mackelele

Owen Hargreaves

Gilberto Silva

Joe Cole

imy, I'm not going to argue with you over what I would pay for JJ. You're entitled to your opinion, as I'm entitled to mine. There is no right or wrong figure here.

I personally wouldn't pay more than £2.5/3m, because as I said we need probably two strikers, a creative mid and a defender to replace Phil Jones. On top of that we might need to replace Junior and we're awfully short of cover at full back. If we didn't have other priorities and we had spare cash, it wouldn't matter how much we paid for JJ.

So two points.

1] £6m is going to leave a big hole in our budget, when we have other, probably very expensive, priorities.

2] I think for £6m we could get better value than a soon to be 30 year old JJ.

Chill hawky breath relax ..all names mentioned so far and how many signings..

Don't think I've seen a lot of "x said to my source he would sign tomorrow", and then go back on it and say it was just made up/lies. Posting a rumour or wishing for a player is cool. Telling BS is just annoying.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, I just thought it strange that this magic fee of £2.5-3 million is mentioned and there are very few players if any that we could purchase for that price.

Michael Ballack is 35 years old

Joe Cole would cost more than £2 million pounds

Makalele is retired

Hargreaves is on a free because he has played virtually no football in two years.

Silva is 35 years old.

So again it is very difficult to find a quality player for that price, if we have £26 million to spend I would be more than happy to spend £5 million on a player who would be a vital link in our side.

Diouf - nasty now..and always has been. Older and slower. Retirement in Scotland

Jones - bust up with current manager. not a football issue. rich club. sidelined.

Not good comparison.

Older? 9 months difference in their ages, I mean come on.

I don't see how anything else you said should affect their transfer fees and it's a darn sight better comparison than us buying Robbie Savage six years ago.

I stand by my similie, if we don't expect £6m for Diouf, we shouldn't expect to pay £6m for Jones.

And in case you hadn't noticed Schalke have already signed his replacement, Marco Hoger. Make no mistake, Jones will not be used by Schalke if they don't sell him, nor will Diouf be used by us.

Wee Bazza Ferguson?

The truth is just because we have a larger than normal transfer budget, we shouldnt allow that to rule who and how much we spend. A player has a value, we should stick to that valuation.

Our best recent purchases were all made when we were skint:

Friedel

Samba

Nelsen

Tugay

RSC (first time)

Benni Mc

Nzonzi

I think that Sam has made two cracking signings for WHAM in Nolan.

Nolan would have been good for us

Well we agree on something, great bit of business by Allardyce to secure the signing of Nolan.

He’d have been no good for us though, since he wanted 60k a week and 4yr deal until he’s 33, we couldn’t have afforded that, silly money.

Fully agree.

Just cause we have a large wad there is no reason to go blowing it on anything - much like sheeple who bah their way through Starbucks lines to get a double shot late with caramel and some of that quite useless nutmeg sprinkled on top, all surrounded with a "100% recycled" hand protector.

Let us be petrol station coffee drinkers please.

im waitimg for the the fat one to come and take andrews of our hands, hed do well in championship,

The nolan transfer shows the mentality of footballers these days when a top quality prem player still in his prime would rather drop down to a smaller club in the championship becuse there offering more £,

Stop trolling hardly1980, if you don't like what Nicko posts don't read it, or put him on ignore :tu:

sorry and will do.
