Nope because they didn't give him a written offer of a new contract before a certain date so they aren't entitled to anything. Excellent signing, just a shame we have to put up with Smith until he's fit
this was exactly my response. puyol will never happen. raul will never happen. apparently we've been linked with hatem ben arfa though? would be a good signing potentially.
I was clearly on the wind up. We've got more chance of gazza running the club than Raul and Puyol coming in. Ben Arfa and Mahmadou Diarra are probably absolute non starters too.
According to The Sun you're in for Otamendi and ready to pay Valez Sarsfield £8 Million. How much truth is in that we don't know though as they generally just pick a player out of the hat then pick a club out of a hat and put the two together.
the same newspaper (if you can call it that) that linked us to Raul and Ben Artha, i'd take it with a pinch of salt to be honest mate
decent signing especialy if on a free, how much do you reckon he's getting a week though ?? i'm starting to get concerned, first time ive ever heard a downbeat interview with holloway today, we're not having any fun in the transfer market at all. we need to address trying to get 'everyone' on the cheap, good idea but isn't gonna happen. at this rate i'll wish id have just burnt the 50 dabs i put on us staying up rather than lining will hills pocket.
sol campbell was supposed to be having a medical on tyneside today, whether that's for the football club or not is a different matter.
Sol Campbell's a decent signing. Was decent for Arsenal last season and will do a job for a year or two. Will be a good tutor for Taylor and Kadar.
