I don't know, part of me thinks "trust the club, trust the club"
another part of me remembers all the other times...
and thinks it's a bit strange that contract negotiations are being carried out on the official website.
Thats what worries me, but hopefully with the new owners they will resist temptation a bit more than the old regime.
I just think they are being more public about Deano because they know the flack they will get if Deano is allowed to leave too easily so are doing the deal front of shop so to speak, there could also be the case that Deano may just be considering other options so putting pressure on him if he does leave and then the club can say look we tried we kept you all updated etc

yeah, I know what you mean... and maybe if it was all a front then the risk is too great that ashton would go to the papers and say "I don't know what they're on about, we've not had any talks" but it just seems a bit sus to me.
Once (or rather loads) bitten, twice shy, as they say.
On the other hand, he has been injured for 2 years and may never be the same player again...

The best football related thread ever was that one on there about Curbishley talking to some guy in a pub.

shut up! 10 million?!?
a) we don't have 10 million
b) he's not worth 10 million.
c) "a" is of course dependent on us not having some sort of agreement with somebody to sell ashton to them for 12 million.
oh bollocks.
I agree. It sounds like b.s.
Just saw on KUMB that the italian is being told to go to palermo but he is 'dragging his heels' as he wants to come to us because of the Nani factor.

I reckon we've had 10 years worth of injuries this last season. Hopefully this year there will be none...

sorry but I think we'll have the same again next year, or we'll slip more towards the relegation spots... luckily I can't see stoke or the playoff winner staying up so we've only got one to miss...
that's cynical isn't it? I dunno, I think we're in a bit of a mess and next year will be spent sorting it out...
I hope I'm wrong.
I think we will complete teh level 15 and kill teh boss. Fear teh not.

Same again i reckon hopefully with a cup run and the sneaking of an intertwobob place. And a lot less injuries and the oppitunity for at least two games of fielding our strongest 11.

Just so I'm clear, Boa Morte got more than zero which implies somebody voted for him. Surely not.
I think it must be an average of weekly ratings.Ah, indeed so:

I agree entriely with the top 3. Bellemy at 6? wehen the hell did he do anything?

It's deceptive, as they've merely given the average that each player got when he played. If they added together the total points that each player got, it might be more realistic, over the season, although someone like LBM, who played a lot of games, might end up getting a really high score

sears scored twice for england u19's yesterday.
Collinson should get his first full cap for wales AND bellemy might be playing as well.
