Bitte, Mein Herr? No, Löwenbrau, Please.

i think we are in for a shock of some sorts this summer... i dont know why but i have that feeling.

sounds like a good aquisition however 80% of them do!

Not 100% sure on him

The guy is very clever. Good at his job and if we're spending money up front, he will do for me.

Id love him at the lane. One of few players that would Instantly impact on the premiership for his pure drive and goal mouth aggression.

Interesting points Wunian

Pokey you talk poo poo

fuck sake hes back :|

Wunian have you ever thought about going on mastermind?

Ignore him Wunian he's obviously a Goon in disguise

onedavemackay,

How dare you.

I want to talk about football, not your transvestite tendencies

Sorry Boghead I thought you liked that sort of thing

im a Bayern freak, and trust me, he can be a bit slow. physically i mean, not retarded-like. still, he's relentlessly enamored with the opposition's goal.

Podolski? don't rate hime... although he does have a knack for scoring and he has been impressive in the EUROs.. still i don't know..

Is Podolski worth £15 mil ?

Blog head, if you want to talk football, talk football

If you wish to smack talk... give your mother my regards.

cant always judge based on international performance... look at postiga as an example!

He aint berbatov

Pokey your fat, shut up

If we can pull out all the stops to keep berba for one more year, sign a solid defensive midfielder, we'll have a real chance next year

Goon-Head.. i mean Blog-Head sorry.. just stick to the football like a good boy..

*que a barage of insults that make no sense*

Fair chance he'll miss the quarter final as he's injured his calf muscle. That'll go on top of his previously reported ankle problem. Is this a new strategy by the board, to look to buy players at a cut price because they are carrying an injury? ;-)
Not suggesting he isn't decent, but my gut feeling is I'd prefer some of the other forwards we've been linked to, and as of now have not yet signed. We may get a chance to see some more of Sergio Garcia tonight. Or simply see him, if you haven't already.

Buahahaha what a retort Blog...might want to work on those.

Postiga played in Portugal which is a relatively lightweight league compared to The premiership. The premiership is much more physical defensively, and therefore nullifying his qualities. Shame we couldnt keep him shtum at the euros four years back, Podolski plays against far tougher defenses, and he knows how to hit the back of the net, as well as mix his fellows into the game.

I say if he is willing to sign, bring him in.

Pokey you sound like you should manage Middleborough

BimitarDerbatov,

Get your dirty hands off me, I aint like that

yes you are..

Mr Head has left the building...

thank fuck for that, what an annoying little man he was

What I want to know is how he came to accumulate 37 "Fan Points"? Do you get earn points for being marked down? I can't for the life of me imagine he had a previous history for making decent remarks, to explain it, either.

Someone's mother doesn't know he's on the computer again.

Still here, ODB, crapping in my sleep. It's tolerable. It's the occasional waking myself up with farts that's a bitch.

Signing Podolski would be an error. One Luka/Lukas in the team is enough, as the Two Jermaines Project proves. One of them seldom got on the pitch and the other you seldom know he's on it.

What's the deal on the club's sale, H? I'd like to say the latest rumour of a potential purchase is just newspaper-talk but, as the report comes from the Mirror, I'd be telling a lie, as the Mirror isn't actually a newspaper.

Well let's face it, Villa won't be coming our way, so I reckon another Luka on-board could be just the ticket.

By the way HH, glad to see you've got a website that won't crash my interweb...

points are accumalated for every post you make, every picture you submit, every article you submit etc....

Cheers Wunian. Clearly nothing to do with the "scores" you get for your comments then.

i dont think so :S i've had no comment scores but have like over 400 points :|

i really need to start doing some actual work throughout the day!

I think the guy has a great finish but he's just one of a hundred odd strikers we've been linked with. As much as I like the odd discussion RE strikers I'd much prefer seeing us linked with a decent keeper (NOT Gomes or Hart for various different reasons).

Podolski would hardly be a bad pairing with Keano and Bent in reserve. A lot stronger than the two of them in the air and for holding up the ball.

Meanwhile who the fudge was that irritant BlogHead? Other than someone who was obviously dropped on his head repeatedly as a child...

Come on guys, stop chatting rubbish,ruining the post!!! And as for Podolski, is a decent striker but 9 goals in two seasons at munich, think we're taking a bit of a risk there, especially if we buy him as a berba replacement and look to him as our knight in shining armour?... Milito would be a far better option hes in the berba mould and could see him getting over 20 goals easy!

I'd imagine £250 million is way shy of Levy's 'End Game' figure. And this Dubai mob are the same lot who passed on Manchester City.

Just out of interest here are some who bought similar items recently...

Aston Villa: Owner Randy Lerner inherited the MBNA credit card fortune.

Chelsea: Roman Abramovich bought Blues in June 2003. Made fortune in oil.

Fulham: Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed is 75.

Liverpool: Owners George Gillett & Tom Hicks.

Manchester City: Thaksin Shinawat ra, 5 8, took ownership in July 2007.

Manchester United: American Malcolm Glazer, 80, inherited his father's wholesale jewellery business.

Portsmouth: Owner Alexandre Gaydamak is a friend of Roman Abramovich.

West Ham: Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson has owned Hammers since last December.

What is funny is that old Thaki wants to lose the boat from the City Club crest and replace it with something to signify greater solidity. A boat being seen by him as something that might drift on the whim of the moon and the wind. *smirks*

His country's fave, an elephant is mooted. I'm heading into Not On Your Nelly territory so I'll leave it there.

Thanks for removing the itch Harry

Whoever we sign, Im actually starting to regain faith that we might see a great season and break that top 4 this season... mind you i said that last season.. and the one before that... But every year I believe it even more.

Believe.

Gracias, H. Every time I see another story linking us to a buyer who patently has no interest in football, the club and its traditions, or Tottenham the place I get more and more dismayed. A time will come when older fans are driven away by the sight of these hogs scoffing at the trough of the people's game. Sometimes I think a critical mass must be on the point of being reached; but then the figures just keep on expanding.

As fans' wages get lower, players' get higher, and attendance more expensive. There's only so much merchandise a punter can buy, and its all made at rock-bottom prices in some sweat-shop or cultural and professional cul-de-sac. This would all just collapse, were the markets not being pushed ever more widely. Hence the annual 'tour' of Africa or wherever - supposedly acts of charity and goodwill, but really just opportunities to sell the nicotine of football and create more addicts. And the players, useful idiots that they are, make willing accomplices, as supposedly enlightened young men.

It would all look horribly bleak, but for the fact that France lost.

Bonnet de Douche!

lo cento 937 u need help

but I do agree with wat u say

Pot pourri! Si danke schon, bonjour.

one dave mcckay, is podolski worth 15 million, was bent worth 16 million? whats your point?

£15-20m for someone who can't displace that long streak of piss Toni in a team that couldn't beat Bolton, looks like classic Comolli.

insider information and free food.... your spoiling us now harry

Hmmmmm, 9 goals in 47 apps over two seasons....compared to Defoe who scored 18 goals in 49 league and cup apps for Tottenham, during the 2006-07 season....I'd have Defoe back any day.

New user, long time voyeur

Great site Harry

Not too sure about Podolski. He had his chance when Klose was out injured in the spring, and he failed to deliver anything worth noticing. And this for a winning team bulldozing every everyone in the Bundesliga. Spend the £15m to give Berba raise and a haircut instead.

Coys

Cheers Falco...
