The first real activity of the post-season has taken place and Morientes is off to Valencia. Only last week his agent was giving it large about him staying to see out is contract - but that just may have been to scare us all.


To be fair I don't think we ever saw what Nando could really do but I also think we have got to draw a line at some point and say

"Fuck it, we can't wait any longer."

12 goals in 61 games says it all really and some lackluster performances in big matches didn't help his cause.


Obviously Nando's departure is going to mean we get linked with every striker whose agent fancies pocketing an easy few bob but hey-ho thats goes with the territory, I guess.


Another player seamingly on his way is our Mr Bolovsky - Jerzy Dudek. If he does go then this will be a fonder fairwell of a beloved player as Jerzy has performed well on the big occassion, the highlight being his wonder save in extra time last year in Istanbul - I think that thumb of his should get its own monument.


Of the players that are likely to come in the most eagerly awaited must be Mark Gonzalez. I am not sure who we have to bribe to get the work permit passed - but I wish to fuck it was the home office - if it was we could pick him up for a song as he's leaving his job cleaning the bogs in Spain - Fucking Twats.


Then there's Daniel Alves of Seville, easily the best player on the pitch when they slapped Boro back into mediocrity in the UEFA Cup final a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway - we'll try to keep you abreast of all the transfer rumours as they come up and we will be doing a special 'World Cup Wanker of the Week' competition when the Big Yawn kicks off next month.

Obviously if the mighty Tosh's Army had made it there would be a bit more excitement in it from our office, but as we narrowly missed out by about 48 points there isn't so we'll stick to just pointing out the wankers.
