This is what I worry about. I'm hoping he's just relieved to be moving on, but there was really no need for him to say anything about his old club. We could do without another moaner at the club. If we end up with Bellamy as well they'll make a great pair.
But as is the football supporter's way, I'm letting my optimism rule on this one and I'm going to say he'll prove to be a bargain. I'm actually quite excited at the potential of seeing the opposition's onion bag ripple for a change, and I've even had ridiculous thoughts like "european place" and "decent cup run" in my head today. I haven't had thoughts like that for um... around 12 months now.
Come back in around 150 pages time, where you'll be able to read all about my regret at posting that.
Well, life's never dull being a Stoke fan. A month after signing the manager on a new contract the Icelandic board of directors sack him (for not buying foreign players) and replace him with some Dutch geezer who's been managing in the Gulf for the last x number of years

I don't think he'll do well at Villa, either. His best days are behind him, which is probably why he's such a moody fucker now!
Could it be that your judgement is clouded by his being a former Mackem?
You're right that he had no need to say such stuff though... and for all of thinking he could do well this season, I can't say that I'd have liked to see him signed by Spurs.
No time for heartache, no time to run and hide,
no time for breaking down, no time to cry.
Diao is on his way, so Zenden must be coming to LFC

The player and the clib both said they wanted it sorted ASAP but the talks were delyed because SG's agent was allegedly on holiday. Hmmmm <cynical>was it Spain?</cynical>

Apparently, the first round of contract talks were "constructive".

If there's any truth in the gossip then I think the lure is dosh and MO. Having said that, I'm not convinced the conventional life-span of a man is long enough for him to spend the (alleged) £8mil they're offering.
From a 'Pool perspective, if he goes we're put back several years domestically and we're shaky in that dept as it is. We need a player as close to SG in drive and leadership as possible to have any hope of driving the team forward.
Then again, Geeza you couldn't care less, I guess! Which is reasonable

We were fucked when Beckham went (and Fergie stayed)
