He signed injury prone players, he deserves everything he gets IMO.
Only Dyer was injury prone?
Upson, Ashton and Bellamy?
Didn't Pardew get Ashton. Upson had one injury at Birmingham. Bellamy was never really injury prone at Blackburn or Liverpool.
Riera deal has been agreed for 8m.


Anyone who is moaning needs to get a grip. When Albert Riera was playing his fifteen games for Manchester City, David Silva was distinctly average on loan at a mid table team and Quaresma was left out of his country's squad for the up-and-coming international tournament.
Sound familiar?
I'm not sure, but Spurs are defiantly in a lose, lose situation. They ether roll over and accept a low bid, or hang on to a player that probably wont play for the club again. Unlike the Barry saga Berbatov has no morals and no loyalty to the club. My guess is the deal will go through on the cheap, but it'll be too late for spurs to sign another striker and they'll seriously struggle with only Bent upfront this season.Dimitar Berbatov's agent is in London for crisis talks as the player attempts to force a move to Manchester United from Tottenham, BBC Sport understands.
I wonder what good will come out of this meeting.
Names?There are plenty of better wingers out there that Rafa could have bought
Wow, that makes me feel so much betterWait till he's played a few games before you judge him. And the fee is closer to £10m than £8m.
