WHU Rumors.

Editorial Summary on the following transfers: Stephen Carr, fuck. The list of has been shit-eaters continues to grow on our books. If we have to lose Green it better be for more than 8 million quid. Andy Johnson, overrated hack who will probably cost a fortune. I seem to remember him turning down a 100k per week salary when we went for him last summer. Is Dawson really that much better than any of the other CB's that we have? And finally, would only sell Deano if we could bring in someone of comparable stature/profile. I want Diego Milito and with Zaragoza bombing this season I don't see why we can't grab him.

Of course there is competition for striking places here but I wouldn't have it any other way - and neither would the manager."
