I have no clue on this sort of thing but and i hope i'm completley wrong but is it possible that Hicks doesn't actually need to raise £200 mil? DIC are bidding £50 mil + the taking over of the debts. Hicks only needs to buy Gillets share which would be £25 mil. Is this a possibility?

SSN SAYING £400 bid made, have till end of TODAY to accept.

link A statement from Kop Football Holdings (Ltd), the American duo's holding company, confirmed that of the £350m refinancing package, £105m will be debt tied to the club. Of that, £45m will be used for future player transfers and to meet the club's working capital needs, while BBC sports editor Mihir Bose said £60m will provide the start-up money for the new ground.

I think Diaby is very talented, and more suited to the premier league than Lucas.

Anyone else think Kewell looked injured after he scored?

I'm not so sure the best manager and the right manager are the same thing. In my opinion Benitez is one of the best managers in europe however I don't think he is the right man for Liverpool.

Think the arsenal tv channel is showing this at 9:15pm for anyone who has a setanta subcribtion.

Puyol isn't fast.

Never rated Puyol myself. He's slow,s*** on the ball and has to be one of the worst defenders playing an offside trap I've seen.

Think he was just trying to placate Rangers fans with those comments. I don't believe he has any intention of creaming off money to anywhere other than his bank account.

We were linked with him in Rafa's first season as you mentioned along with a few other Malaga players at the time such as Miguel Angel and Calatayud. Can't say I've even noticed him before.

no way in could he play centre back over here, he's way too short.

Fans are often downplay the ability of players when faced with the prospect of said player leaving, so I tend to take such reactions with a pinch of salt.

Pernia is slow, with a cultured left foot and can take good set pieces. He's like a bit like Aurelio but less injury prone. Antonio Lopez is pretty quick and loves to bomb forward, quite like him as a player.I think he would be more suited to the premier league. Both are probably considered better going forward. Athletico have sometimes been using Antonio Lopez as a right back while Pernia plays left back particularly in the UEFA cup.

Never seen much of him but he is bound to be our Vidic, in the way that Sami was our answer to Stam.

Good player,questionable attitude could go either way. He is very talented mind.

Apparently Valencia are paying a fair wedge for Banega.

Think he had a british passport anyway, I seem to remember that one or both of his parents were english. This meant he was able to sign for Leeds while another Australian player couldn't(can't remember who). Also think I have seen a clip of Harry when he was a kid saying he wante to play for England.

I thought he was fantastic away to West ham back in 2005/06 playing alongside Didi. Unfortunately his good performances are getting less common. I think he is a player who needs to play a lot to produce his best form and probably needs the move to fufil the promise he once showed.

He always had the potential, but never stayed injury free long enough to get into a good run of form. He was also used in different roles at Bayern sometimes up front other times playing behind two strikers sort of at the top of a diamond.

Yes he does sometimes struggle against pace not always mind, but this has always been the case and it's not every. His reading of the game is superb and he is currently in good form.

No he's not.

Loads of potential,captained PSG on his first league start. Suspect Balague is refering to Mendy though, the echo mentioned something back in the last transfer window.

He's stronger than players like Yossi,Hleb etc but I don't think he's as strong as Torres.

Doubt this is true but he is a very good player. Possibly a replacement for Kewell if he doesn't get a new contract.
