"And Ilunga will score for Doncaster. It’s written in the stars."

Let's hope he gets disorientated, doesn't know which way he's pointing and it bounces off his a**e for an own goal.

SSP08: bit of a circular argument there which sort of comes round a bites you in the backside:

What you are implying is that you wished WHUFC had taken Ba on a solid contract (i.e paying Hoffenheim 6 mil) when he had just failed a medical at Stoke; If we were relegated in that situation we would have been sellers of a player with a suspect knee and we would have got nowhere near 6 mill for him - just look at how much we got for Scott Parker who was on good a contract and had performed such heroics in the season. Ba was "one that got away", but at least we didn't have a big transfer loss to add to our relegation.

I can't see the problem... for the team that is. There is a saying "missed by a hair's breadth" so perhaps he thought a few extra inches on top wont go amiss. He may look like a dopey twonk (that's his choice), but who will complain if those extra few inches means he reaches a glancing header into the goal!

interesting to see all those comments asking why Reid (amongst others) was not dropped.

Looking at the BBC stats (despite the possession which is skewed due to 10v11) its 11 v 4 shots and 6 v 2 on target.

BBC reports that Bilyaletdinov has moved from Everton to Spartak Moscow for 5 million. Slaven Bilic was supposed to have recommended WH, but where did he go after WHUFC?

Now Everton would not have funded a net transfer of 7-9 million for Jelavic as they have no money. However with money coming in from this sale and a net transfer of just a few million I can see it happen.

getting braced ready to be shot down.......I don't want Tevez back at UP.

When he kept us up he was a great player, but he was really just a "sticking plaster" on a weak team that should have been relegated by all accounts and purposes. When he left and the wound was reopened and we ultimately went down.

Tevez was a great player at West Ham but his antics since at City have been appalling, or he has at least been appallingly advised. What influence would be have on the younger players in the dressing room? [And remember Joorabchain's part in what turned into the Sheffield Uniited debacle; do we want him back behind the WH scenes?].

If we get promoted it would be best, IMHO, to do this with a team that will be there next year for the prem. We want to develop striking partnerships this season and also formations that will be there ready for the following campaign, and not have our plans disrupted because a linchpin has gone and left in the summer we have to start afresh.

re: Green

Let's just say for a moment we were not promoted. Rob, 32, would surely want to move on and, like Scott last year, have a chance of one last big contract with a top club. Who would blame him after what he has done for WH (as with Scott)? However if he signs a long contract with WH now then this would price a lot of clubs out of buying him and he would most probably spend another season in the chumpionship. It still baffles me why no serious offers came in for him last summer, even though he was, unjustifiably in my opinion, still tarred with the World Cup blunder.

My hope is we'll go up, and he will sign a new long contract (4/5 yrs) with WH in the prem. Only if one of the top 4 clubs (i.e. Champs League teams) come in for him in the summer would be be tempted away (as long as we are promoted that is).

I was listening to Radio 5 this morn and he was mentioned. The commemt was if he was PL quality a PL club would have got him by now. The suggestion by the pundit was he *might* make it, but he *might* not. Jon Stead was mentioned in the same breath ........

According to TalkSport web site from November (when he was linked to QPR) James has 2.5 years left on his contract.
