Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

I'm pretty sure Ba's knee problem got identified during his Stoke medical. |

Classic scouse stupidity to compare a £7m, club record (?) signing with an out of window free agent. |

What's your take on the Ashley Cole situation, LGJM? I know it's your policy to not offer more than 1 year to over 30's but if i was a Chelsea fan i'd be screaming at Roman to make an exception with Cole.

I have no opinion on the situation, to be honest.
I think he's a great player, but I'm not sure if he's so great that he deserves the great money he's on. I think his injury situation needs to be known. From what I've seen of Bertrand I like, so I wouldn't be too concerned if we were to let Cole go and allow Bertrand to grow into the position.
Basically whatever CFC and Cole decide, I can accept it. |

You've missed the point fella, the fee is irrelevant, they still turned down Ba due to his injuiry record or him failing a medical whatever it might have been. |

You're missing the point that £7m is a risk, £0 isn't |

Sure, but wouldn't this knee problem have been identified during his medical at Newcastle given that it was a recurring one? In that case, Pulis passed and turned him down whilst Pardew didn't and accepted, no? |

I know that. Either way Pulis has still got the wrong end of the bargain. |

Aye, but isn't hindsight marvellous? |

From memory, it was. Newcastle chose to take the gamble, Stoke didn't.
I think it says more about the financial risk profile of the respective clubs, than the player himself. |

Stoke would have been buying him for over £7m.
Newcastle signed him on a free.
Stoke simply got unlucky because a quality player they were signing happened to have a worrying medical. Newcastle got lucky because they were able to snag that player on a free.
If Pardew had swooped in and paid the £7m when the Stoke deal collapsed then you may have a point. As he didn't, you don't. |

It is if you're paying him a hefty wage.
We didn't pay a transfer fee for Joe Cole, but by god it's cost us millions. |

[quote="littlerich":1czuya0c]Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.[/quote:1czuya0c]:1030.gif |

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |
