I'm just gutted for not buying the Chelsea shirts with 'Robinho' on the back they were selling on their website before they had even bought him, or were trying to do so anyway.
They were only pre-orders and didn't even have numbers (they had TBC in the place of the number), you would've got refunded.

Well, that was an interesting transfer window - unless you're a Pompey fan, of course. I hope Peter Crouch scores goals this season, because we have undoubtedly put all our eggs in one very expensive basket. :@

Nah, Berbatov is one of the best players in europe. 15 goals and 11 assists as opposed to Robinho's 11 goals and 14 assists (both in the league last season), and Berbatov was getting service from Jermaine Jenas. I certianly don't think Robinho's worth more than £25m, but we certainly did fleece United on the Berbatov sale. :cool:

Hopefully with the disruptive influence gone we can get our season back on track.
Oh, didn't know he'd had such a good season, anyway I was just winding up other fan's because I'm pissed off with George going. I really should start backing up my facts before posting, but what's the fun in that?

Still a ridiculous amount of money for someone, at 27, will have negligible sell-on.


Radio 5 are making a fuss over talk that Keegan's walked out on Newcastle, sounds BS, to me, but it wouldn't be that shocking.

How random was the loan move of Derby's Tyrone Mears to Marseille? That has had to have been on the most remarkbale transfer deadline days ever.
Hardly, considering he went for a trial last week and then whoever's trying to manager Derby these days (Jewell?) exploded and said he'd never play for Derby again.

Just spotted a mate whose Facebook status is "[name] is very happy with the best striker in the world coming to Man City." :laugh:

Yes but with these ridiculous transfer windows, you're going to get inflated prices. Nature of the beast, and not the fault of the clubs.

For example, our original bid for Berbatov was in the region of £20m, but with so little time left, the price was bound to get pushed up.

And if Keegan really had quit, then that's really quite funny.

AWTA, tbh I wouldn't want to work for a club whose chairman wore a replica strip tbh. IMHO wearing a replica kit when you're over the age of say...25ish is somewhat embarrassing.

Gun, plan to get a personalized one from the website for Christmas with Wright-Phillips and his number 8 on it
Yeah, this one's last seasons kit which I prefer immensely. It's no doubt a dodgy fake one, but for 20 bucks, I'll take whatever I can get compared to 70 on the website.

Fellaini a reasonably decent player from what Belgian football I watch, though I didn't think he was anything special I'm sure he'll do a job. Price is high, but as I said that's hat happens with transfer windows.
