and for the icing on the cake Yobo

couldn't agree more mate on both points

but Chimbonda, Babbel, and Santa Cruz in, Parker staying = the best outcome we can hope for in the next 1.5hrs

doubt we will get anymore in though TBH

Chimbonda can play left back as well if my memory serves me correct and is pretty decent at it so this could work well.

Good player just a bit of a kn*b by all accounts

There is no way we will sign him anyway don't worry mate - another bit of either lazy jouralism or Sullivan giving it the big one

We've missed out on some bargains this summer while we've been harping on about Beckham, the olympic stadium, Henry etc and considering we are wheeling and dealing we could have got a lot more quality for our money

Caiceido has just joined Fulham for £1.8 million good solid left back with European and international experience

Beckford for free - this lad has goals in him

Gosling free - very promising defender / midfielder on either side

Sol Campbell - say what you like about him but he is MUCH better than Tal Ben Haim and would have added that experience and even still has a bit of pace (with his gut!)

Martin Petrov - pace skill and can put the ball on a sixpence! granted he wanted to stay up north but was worth a go

Steven Taylor - he's been transfer listed apparently. We should snap him up right now!

I do like his brutally honest aproach - not sure about him choosing some players here and there though

Who picked Benny Big Mac and Mido??

breaking news kovac in talks with stoke!

I think Big uncle Avram will give us a similar season to what Roy Hodgson will give Liverpool this season. By this I mean a steady improvement through no huge investment, but just getting our players doing the basics, playing people in their right positions, working hard for each other, and getting a really good team spirit going.

We do have talented players despite where we finished last season, we just need to apply them in the right way.

Zola didn't have the experience to do the above and I think he also falls into the category of Roy Keane where they were great, exceptional players and may expect players to be able to do what they did and find it as easy as they did to grab games by the scruff of the neck or turn on a bit of magic to win a game

At the moment we need hard work and graft to stabilise this season. We've got a couple of players who can deliver the craft in Diamanti and Barrera and we are lucky to have players like parker, Hitz, Noble, Faubert and Boamorte who will wear their heart on their sleeve and go out and give it 110% each game.

Avram will, in my opinion harness these players talents and mould us into a decent side again and one to be proud of.

I am feeling really positive about this season - Even if we don't bring in that "big name". We've never bought big names, we make/nurture our own talented young players into big names - that's what we do best....... we just need to keep them playing for us from now on which is what we have been promised by these new owners. As long as they keep to their word we should be moving positively forward

COYI WHTID!
