[Mikk]

I knew about arca already and i think he will go either sometime this season or when his contract runs out in a year.

Also i think Newcastle may be setting their sights too high with Beckham.

[The Phantom]

There is no way Beckhams going to Newcastle. It's too far from London for Mrs B, and why trade the sun in Spain for the rain of the north east?

[K Jay]

Chelsea would be the only english club for Becks now.

K Jay Note : Can I have some feedback from you guys for if you want me to keep putting these up?

[Mikk]

Yes KJay as i don't get the papers so its good to read all this.

Not David O'Leary please, i don't think the Sunderland fans would be very welcoming to him coming here.

[The Phantom]

Yeah, Keep em coming KJay. Saves me looking round all the sites.

I think Sunderland should be pleased if they get David O'Leary, I doubt they'd gat anyone with a bigger profile than him.

Hopefully Man Utd can get Gattuso, he'd be a quality signing.

Bit supprised about Duff going to Spurs, hadn't seen that one coming.

Hopefully this week we'll see some one way tickets out of Italy and to England.
