Whilst I'm glad we've gotten rid of Keane, I do hope there was a stipulation in the deal that means he can't play against us this season, we play Spurs on the last day of the season it'd be a disaster if he scored and it cost us the game.

You cannot do that, the FA have deemed it illegal to have such a stipulation, only in loan deals can the player not play against his owners.

Sheffield Utd did it this season, not allowing Matthew Spring to play against them, hypocritical bastards, yet they get away with it.

Also we've signed Illunga on a permanent deal for about £1.5 million, which is great news.

Who'd take him
How long's left on his contract?

If he's not signed a new deal since he joined (I don't remember it if he has) he's out of contract this summer. There'll be a tinge of sadness when he leaves. Can never fault his attitude, and of course his goal at OT last season will never be forgotten.

Very true. He's never whinged about being left out and always tried his best. Model pro in a lot of ways, he's just not very good. But he always, always puts a shift in.

As for the centre forward issue, I have faith in Big Phil. I hope he gets a proper run of games now alongside Bellamy. And if he scores I can post on his official website's guestbook again.

4-4-2? Never. Hell will freeze over before Hughes changes his one-up-front-at-all-times formation.

What?

You sound surprised...

[bear]

£14million.

[Christopher]

£14million.

That is high for a 33 year old.

Can't understand why Liverpool would sell Keane without a replacement coming in?! It's like Benitez doesn't want to win the league.

He is getting the funds together for an early summer raid on Athletico for Aguero.

A joke that Rafa only buys Spanish players.

Keane hardly played, now that Torres is back hes not needed, think of the chelsea game, a very important one. He wasn't even a sub. Plus, he clearly wasn't happy at Liverpool.

Arsenal's Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor has revealed he was unable to walk for the first four years of his life. His mother Alica carried him all over Africa in search of a cure before being told to spend a week praying in church. On the seventh day, Adebayor heard children playing outside, somebody kicked a ball into the church and he was the first to get up, run and collect the ball. (Various)

Bullshit to the extreme

Shouldn't that be the sixth if he's basing it on genesis?

So what is Adebayour the reincarnation of Christ now

Judging by this season, the lazy bastard still hasn't quite mastered running.
