"does any one know when we can start the spending spree, and is that sulky baby luke moore returning...i can't imagine wba will want him? i think we should get gurzan, finnan, stearman, dunne and most importantly milner. these are all realistic but may not be enough to convince gb of our intentions. milner in particular ticks all the boxes, if middlesboro get him i will eat my hat in frustration...but i'm sure it'll take us weeks just to tie up the simplest deal...eg stearman looks decent..we've been linked for ages, wouldn't be that expenxsive and has been relegated...get him in even if only as cover. exciting times and hope chelski get hammered tmrw don't want them as euro cup winners."
