Why would signing a striker release a keeper? Besides, Reina would never leave us to go to United - and you can quote me on that. I think he is one of the only players left that actually has an decency and is true to his word.


I'm amazed that all you lot (who claim to be avid Manc fans) refer to your beloved team as "Man U". I was of the understanding it's deeply offensive to you. I'm not trying to pick a fight here either, I've just noticed it a lot recently.

Armchair fans who never go to a match. Let's be honest how many of the Man Utd fans on here actually go to Old Trafford or to be more precise have actually ever been?

.......and I've been at the Lane a few times too. Saw Spurs beat QPR once 5-0 compliments of David Puttnam whose season ticket I had. Also there in 86 where the title was on the line and they lost 1-2 to Everton. Was at the Coventry cup final too. Have two brothers who support Spurs.

Even if one of the apparently doesn't want to be there?


Lost a lot of respect for Torres in the last few weeks, it seemed like he thought he was too good to play for Hodgson but has decided to bother under Dalglish. Although as it turns out maybe he's just decided to attract some attention for a transfer.


When all's said and done I'm sure he wants to play in the Champions League which seems at best unlikely with Liverpool for next season so no real surprise Chelsea suits with Drogba on the way downhill, it's the obvious destination ruling out United as they're United, City as they're a gamble and Arsenal as they won't spend money.

"Once I knew Celtic's interest, it was an easy decision for me.


"I would have chosen Celtic, no matter what.


"I would go as far as to say it's a dream come true.



This is a guy who knows the right things to say and wants to win an SPL medal...things are looking up at Celtic.


Eh - anyone heard of him before ?

Can't agree with that Ruffers. Play the ball to Torres' feet and he'll score you a goal. If you try and play fetch with him he's not as effective. Under Hodgson's tactics he wasn't getting a decent service. Look at how much further up the pitch we've played in our last few games. There's the difference.


Re this transfer stuff, it looks as though he's going. Gutted to be honest, in some ways I don't blame him. He was promised lots under our previous owners and nothing was delivered. I don't really blame him. Going to Chelsea will be a bitter pill to swallow though. If it's true, he's an arse fir the way he has gone about it. Time will tell.

I'd agree it's part of the difference but would argue the other part is down to effort. He just didn't look like he was even trying for Hodgson.

Agree with both Anna and Ruffers, Torres got no service earlier this season, but still, he didn't exactly look for it. Anyway, gutted to hear about the transfer request, thought he was turning in to Liverpool through and through, but guess he just fancies a few thousand quid a week more.

Although he could just be doing a Rooney and blackmailing the club for a few tens of thousands a week extra.


It becomes an interesting one, taking Rooney as the example. "i'm off, the club's not showing the ambition".. "Here's a load of money".... "OK, I'll stay"


Tevez - "I'm off" .. City "No, you're not (and presumably lots of other stuff)"... Tevez - errrr OK


Torres "I'm off, no ambition" ...LFC.. "Err, we just signed Suarez" ... Torres .. "erm. Chelsea?"

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
