Seen this in so many places, what's the problem with trying to spend and getting good players like Ferdinand, Shearer, Tino, Bellamy, Robert, Woodgate, Coloccini ? If Carr can find good players from cheap players just think what he could get spending a few quid.

Apparently, seemed to pass me by though lol

Moving into space should be basic for any footballer who is looking to receive the ball. Ok for the cheap seats. Its Shola we are talking about ffs what you expect to be done is irrelevant if playing alongside him you should really play to what he will do rather than what you know he wont. Like questioning his ability to stay onside, we all know it but it wont f***ing change. I wasn't trying to start an argument more prove the problem is not jonas. You've finally more or less agreed

Worked for Pennant

At the end of last season we didn't have players in the box creating space which isn't the fault of Jonas. It doesn't matter how good a passer you are, if players aren't in space then you're unlikely to find them with the ball. In that situation you have two options, hit the ball into space, or keep a hold of it and lose possession. So you think as its Shola in the box who isnt going to make a run you say options 1 and 2 are kick it into empty space or keep it and lose it? Ahead of trying to find him and seeing if he can do something or the ball may drop to someone else? Fair enough. Guess we agree to disagree then. Why is Shola being told not to attack those positions ? I know some see him as a lost cause but that's just crazy. The ball was also being played to Nolan in and around the box to try and feet the ball to the feet of Shola but can't just follow one route the whole game. Plus putting the ball into a danger area worries a defender who can make a mistake of putting the ball into his own net that's why the ball should always try to be put there surely ?

I agree, think attacking wise we'll be pretty damn good. Still worried about just having Ba upfront though.

Agreed, I remember commenting on that after some of the games. The crosses into the box were wasted as we had nobody getting on the end of them. All a winger can do is get the delivery into danger areas, it's up to others to get on the end of them. While i agree in general it really depends on the circumstances. If he fires in a cross into the danger area its hardly a strikers fault if they cant physically reach that area in time. Theres also the silly notion that a winger could aim for where a striker is once in a while too, that would be a good cross finding a man rather than an area where a player may or may not be able to get to. Obviously when we are dealing with Shola/Loven etc i would prefer the winger to look for them as opposed to assuming they will make a run for you(lets face it he is wasting a cross into a good area in their case) Not when they're not even in the box, which is usually the case. Are we now suggesting that Jonas is so quick he is able to outrun the team on a break to be there before the strikers ? Otherwise I'm confused as to why our strikers aren't able to get into the box when we're attacking ? Surely this stuff is worked on in training

Who's is it then ? He holds the ball up cause theres nobody there he gets wrong for not drilling it in, he puts them in and it's his fault because our strikers movement is so piss poor that he's not in the danger area. He puts alot of good balls into the box, they just aren't all the traditional getting right to the line and putting a high ball into the box. He's a cultured winger not what maybe alot of people are used to. I'd enjoy to see him in the same team as Ben Arfa more I think they would link up very well.

They've ballsed yours up, you should have been charged £508 unless you didn't choose direct debit.

He's going to end up on their crap wage in the second year of his contract anyway so it would seem the sensible thing for him to do really rather than rob £25k a week from us for a year.

It appears he has alot more contact inside the club that most of the press just from some of his recent news articles and stories which appears to happen.

7th July last year and 9th July in 2009.

Wasn't it said that it won't move from Saturday due to European football ?

That's what woodgate turned down at Spurs I believe.

He did then turned it back again

The same Toontastic1892 who said that a Clichy/Enrique swap deal is on the cards Yes just to add to that, that he is not me

If jonas is stopping surely this signing means we won't be signing N'Zogbia? Need cover at right back, striker and by the looks a replacement for Enrique as well as the guy from Swansea then we might actually have some depth.

I'm happy now hearing about the contract

Don't agree, problems with medical I hope mean he's on some sort of deal where wages stop if the leg puts a stop to him playing. Don't fancy any Owen style player.

That's an appalling strike force

That's one for the list

Can't imagine people would write stuff like that would they

The fixtures for the upcoming Premier League season are out at 9am this Friday the 17th June. Whatever you do, please DO NOT post fixture lists on the forum. The Premier League take copyright of fixtures ridiculously seriously and many websites have been taken down in the past for reproducing fixtures without the appropriate licence. I can't remember the price of the licence off the top of my head but it's not cheap (hundreds of pounds for one club, thousands for them all) and frankly we need the money for running the server. As an example of what can happen if fixtures are posted illegally, please read this: http://www.bsad.org/0506/reports/fixtures_letter.html. A previous incarnation of this website/forum has also been closed down in the past by legal threats made to our previous webhost. For guidance: You can discuss individual fixtures, such as the first game, the Mackems, Boxing Day etc, but DO NOT list them out. DO NOT attempt to get around the rules by listing fake club names like on PES. Unbelievably they are looking for this too. Linking to other websites that have paid for the fixtures (such as NUFC.com) is perfectly fine. Anyone found to be deliberately or repeatedly breaking the rules on posting fixtures will be banned for 14 days as per this rule: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php?topic=19161.0 If there are any questions feel free to add them in this thread. What we can and can't post is a pretty grey area, but we're trying to avoid all possibility of the forum being closed down. Better safe than sorry is our policy. Cheers.

He was talking to MSIDouglas and someone else and said it about the deal.

In other words Taylor wants to sign but Swansea want to try and get more cash out of us. Aye and also means fk all happening this week, so Ba not close at all, this place will implode with 10 days of nothing Fixtures are out on Friday, that should keep things from monging out for a while Well it'll produce plenty of bans on the forum if noubt else.
