Isn’t he on a two-year contract? It’s got to be a step down in terms of competition, but I’m sure in his mind the officiating is better in CC2, though I’d find that hard to believe.

Yes, he is on a two-year contract, but in soccer there is always the transfer. Why Notts would offer the amount of money that Seattle would need for a deal to make sense from this side is unknown.

Freddie is clearly part of the plan here.

Notts fan here – well I hope we don’t get Freddie to be honest with you. He did not set the world on fire at West Ham and wouldn’t get that much time on the ball in our current league.

It’s too early to say where ‘our journey’ is going. The Sol Campbell thing – a ridiculous contract, but a statement of intent to the world I suppose (would you have been writing about us otherwise?)- the new regime are out to raise our profile.

We have not bought any other ‘former stars’ (check out our ‘roster’)- maybe we will get the odd one – surely buying has-beens is something American soccer is well known for ;-)

Everyone wants to knock us at the moment – we are an easy target for lazy journalists.

Check you sources!

Nowhere will you find Sven saying that he wanted these players – it’s all rumour and speculation. He will have spoken to a lot of players no doubt but the club has made no official statement or comment on whom. Hamann had talks with Sven but I can’t imagine we’ll match his wages.

Meanwhile we signed Matt Richie on loan from Portsmouth – age 19! Played at the weekend and looks a great talent.

Congrats in the cup win BTW.

I read today about supposed interest in Roberto Carlos.

And, yes, it is only rumor and speculation, but I am not the source of such rumors.
