We're half way there lads.
Incidentally, am I the only one who finds the whole horsepower (as opposed to horse powers) concept really stupid? Who can honestly say what kind of power 65 horses can generate? There are just so many unknowable factors in the equation. And who can imagine what it would take logistically to get 65 horses to pull a carraige anyway? In some cases the first horse would be there before you even left, it's absurd. I don't think you'd get there any slower if you just used a good 8 horses. In fact, it would just take a couple of shit horses to slow the whole lot up and by having 65 you're just increasing the chances of getting some real wastrel horses. The chain is only as strong as the weakest link etc..

I don't even think the talent is there, unless you conclude that having pace and occasionally being able to crack a shot is going to prove good enough under the right manager.

I'd agree, he's just not that good, full stop. I don't think he'll go to another top club and I don't think we'll get serious money for him, 4mil tops. Anyone who pays over that is insane.

He really makes you weep. He really does. You know he can score goals like that, and then hit awful shots like he did. What on earth does he do in training?

Patently not. His ill-timed and half-hearted attempt at a header in the Lyon attack that scored just wasn't a good enough effort for a player that should have been dying on his feet trying to hang on to what we had. He missed it by so much that he must have known beforehand he needed to move his position, but he just leapt at thin air and it sailed over him. To me it was indicative of his overall laziness as a player.

Apparently Rafa is of the believe that having mis-used Babel and driven his confidence through the floor during his time here, he should now ask for MORE than we paid for him. Fucking hell.

Can you go away man?
You're just embarassing yourself further and no one, not even you, deserve that.

Oh, you poor fucking mental bell-end. Kill yourself.
Glock why the hell would you continue to plagiarize when you have already been sprung? I mean come on! You even nicked his signiture?
Unless there never was a real Glock...An empty shell....nothing going on behind those eyes...Potential sociopath.
What next? Killing spree?

I like the way McLeish flatly refuses to confirm or deny any names of players he's enquired about, and then spends the rest of the article confirming exactly who he's enquired about.
Fucking hell McLeish's mail must have been held up by the weather and the video's have now got through.
We should have snapped their hand off.
I bet any money we will be lumbered with him until the summer now

Yup. And he'll probably start another 5 games max.
If the stories are true and Rafa wouldn't receive any of the funds generated by his sale though, he'd be shooting himself in the foot somewhat by selling him. Despite his horrible attitude, he'll probably score one or two crackers before the end of the season if he stays, and is a better option off the bench than pretty much anyone else we have.
