The half decent youngsters we do have end up being pinched by the bigger clubs before they turn 17.

I'd hazard a guess that any German interest would come from his first and home town club St. Pauli.

Are you mad? It's such a poor league I'd put it on a par with Dutch league bar the dominant Inter.

I think Everton have a great team but they've had awful luck with injuries. Better than Liverpool but not as good as Spurs and City (purely because they can throw that much money at it, awful 'team').

I think Onuoha would be a great signing if we could get him.

There's a difference between good signing and good player, time will tell if he's either. I certainly don't expect him to be taking Robinson's place in the team. I think he'd be eased in and hopefully become the player Coyle must think he can be. I'm just happy it's a young could be rather than an old has been.

I'd say he's a good signing on the basis that he's young and could potentially be a good player for us. We may be able to sell him for good money. He may still turn out to be a mistake, same goes for any player. We could buy Andres Iniesta and say he's a great signing because of his past record and what we've seen but it doesn't mean he won't turn up at the Reebok and turn out to be a bag of shite.

Without a doubt, one thing to like about Nugent is that he isn't a sloth, he can run and he isn't Leroy Lita. We need some pace upfront, I'd give him a chance.

It's strange that nobody other than 'Clubcall' are reporting it. I remain skeptical.

He rejected them anyway, didn't like the wage packet on offer.

That was a separate sentence, didn't mean to make it look like I was claiming that was your source. The article that appeared in The People says it's by Nixon and some other fellow. Just mentioning he supposedly gets his info from Coyle directly.

How can a chap with a crocked knee have a proper medical? As the info is from Alan Nixon I'm guessing there's some substance to the rumours.

Who's the blonde fella in the middle? Looks like he's got the number 13 on his top.

Are people taking that Riquelme link seriously? It was a 2 bit piece by David Anderson of the Mirror, he tagged it at the end of an article linking us with Ilan again, who Coyle said he wasn't interested in whatsoever the previous time we were linked, so add it all together and it's certain bullshit.

He'd be sat in the Heidar Helguson suite with Joey O'Brien.

He's not related to Xabi and Mikel, they're from Basque. However his father and grandfather were both Spanish internationals in their time.
