As it is now silly season with transfers etc, I thought we could have a thread for discussions and generally trashing over teams transfers......?

My team West Ham look to be selling loads and buying nowt in replacement......typical!

The team who I feel have made the best transfer so far is Spurs in Modric....which really annoys me as my wifes side of the family are all spurs fans...pfft.

Any other rumours etc?

NEWCASTLE United have had an offer accepted for Liverpool midfielder Danny Guthrie.

Today's Liverpool Echo reports that Kevin Keegan has made a successful offer for Guthrie, who spent last season on loan at Bolton Wanderers.

The 21-year-old will now hold talks with Keegan, and if personal terms can be agreed the deal will give him the first-team football he craves but was unable to secure at Anfield.

I really expected more from Newcastle this summer, do you think your purse strings are shut due to the possibility of him selling the club?

great, so a midfielder that will play when? or is it a sign that milners going?
2008-07-11 17:10:30
Guthrie is no winger.......
2008-07-11 17:12:54
so when bartons otherwise occupied then?

guess that argentinian spiderman guy was brought in for milner then either that or we're trying to buy a reserve team

I though Ashley had huge wads of cash?

Hardly a Jack Walker is he?
2008-07-11 17:31:21
he did but he lost a load when england didnt qualify then he put a load into hbos shares and they plummeted and he lost 200 million (or so i read)
2008-07-11 17:36:15
he has had a huge drop in profits in his Sports Direct empire so maybe he hasnt got much spare change at the minute
2008-07-11 17:37:43
he is also known to gamble silly amounts at the roulette tables

Mike Ashley, owner of the Newcastle United Football Club increased his fortunes earlier this week when he won £1.3 Million on a single spin of the roulette wheel at an exclusive casino.

Ashley is the 54th richest man in Britain, and won the money at the Fifty London Casino in Mayfair. After placing a series of bets totally £480,000 around his lucky number, the number 17.

According to some reports, the 45 year old businessman, and former owner of the Sports Direct chain entered the casino, placed his bets, and then left the casino 15 minutes later, and with almost a million pounds more money than he had entered with.

The bet he placed was a 'complete' – where he bet on every combination that would include the number 17 – a bet on the number itself, black, an odd number, and a number between one and 18. When he saw the ball land on 17, he looked up at the croupier and said 'That'll do me, thanks', and left the table to the applause of other gamblers.

Ashley is a member of the casino, which charges a membership fee of £650. The number 17 is his lucky number, and he wears that number on the back of his shirt when he is watching his team play football.
