Morning all

Hiya partner,

we need to get a replacemnt got Campbell
in our team, Thumbs Up

so far so good.


well we can have Bentley now he's departed Spurs but I don't think he'd like to be centre back - not glamorous enough Laugh

What about Upson? is he is the team?
We didnt sell Bentley!! Shake Head

It would have been funny though just to see how much more Arry twitched if UEFA had taken the plug off his hoover Big Grin
Plus Man City's owner would have spontaneously combusted at not being able to spend anything Laugh

I really thought Bentley had gone somewhere oop norf - ah well.

meaty - we shall see. It will depend on what players come back injured from the internationals as well I think.
But I wouldn't bet against Adebayor getting one - old strikers do have a knack of scoring against their old teams

A kettle should always be the last thing packed and the first thing unpacked in any move
Nod and your cats Laugh... if you have any of course Laugh


Oh God moving with cats Eeker
the memories Eeker Big Grin

We don't have any at the mo and are waiting to move until we get some more. I miss having cats around Frowner

Pinky - as far as I can make out this thread will be moved as it is over there - we could do a bit of redecoration though Big Grin

Actually on the subject of moving, we seem to have lost a few fms. Either they aren't around much or have disappeared.
Where are Green Fairy and richard h? They were both here in the early days but they disappeared. Crunchy has not been seen since his bopping either Frowner

Lens


The rags did the sameLaugh I remember posting a link to an article weeks ago.


Yup United did do the same - settled his family with him, no dispute there. I think the difference is that the chelsea guy was contracted to Lens whilst Macheda was not under contract
