Shearergol

Top scorer in the Premiership, or just for Arsenal? Bump

Why not? They are a well run club, spend little and wisely. They make a loss every year tbh

Right now, at this point in time, we would be a lateral move. If he is going to leave Blackburn this summer it's going to be for someone in European competition. Oh I forgot, bigger crowds, the first item on every players list when considering a move. Three words: £ £ £ I'd expect £££ isn't an issue at Blackburn, richer than most think. He also recently had a kid IIRC, so moving so soon would be a bit of a bitch too. Well their wage bill is £37m, which is 85% of their wages to revenue ratio. They can't come close to competing with Newcastle in terms of money. I personally think that money is only one of many issues a footballer thinks of when choosing a Premier league club though.

Fair enough you know your team better than us, but looking from the outside, your lack of punch in the box is obvious. A player like Torres would do wonders for you A player like Torres would do wonders for any team in the world. An absolute machine that lad. of course, but this is the quality of footballer you need to win titles, or make the jump from 3rd to 1st Shame we're not in a position to sign players like that really. I know people will mention Owen, but it's a completely different situation. However, I was surprised Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United all decided (after watching Torres on numerous occasions) not to take a chance on him. Doesn't even take hindsight to see it was a mistake.

What?

No, I just thought your reasoning about that bit was s***. So I decided to ignore it. So you honestly think this is exactly like when we signed Emre and Parker? You're a nonce mate, and I can't be bothered debating with you anymore. Face it, Shearergol. You thought Tiago wouldn't come here because hes already rejected spurs and, in your opinion, you think Spurs are a more attractive club than Newcastle. So why would he want to sign for us? (Even though there isn't much between the 2 clubs) Wellthats a load of bollocks, mate. No, I just thought your reasoning about that bit was s***. So I decided to ignore it.

It's been widely reported in the media that Tiago still wants to play CL football and not take a paycut (reputed to be on c £90k pw, a hangover from his Chelsea days). Spurs fall down on both counts. Vindicated tbh

Aye, what you on about? Well that match finished ages ago

Can't be worse than Viduka has been today.

That's how to take a corner Geremi, take note.

David James still England's number one.

Poor from Geremi. Oh well, at least it's another dangerous corner.

He's certainly making our other players work much harder. Don't know if he's unfit or something, but it's like playing with 10 men at the minute.

Viduka needs to get into this game if we want the win.

I'm amazed he didn't go down like he'd just been shot.

You obviously do care though I don't but you do have a problem I would say. Maybe I just find you a little patronising, but I don't exactly lose sleep over it Anyway, both Senderos and Taylor are average. it isn't easy to avoid patronising clueless people sometimes I've never said you're clueless have I?

Frustrating isn't he. How come he manages freekicks but not corners?

I hadn't realised he turned them down because they were being a bit slow, as you'll see from the order of the posts. Clearly you know the full intimate details of the deals though, so I'll bow down to your superior knowledge. We won't sign him though, so it's a pointless debate. EDIT: Still not admitting that your Emre/Parker argument doesn't stand up then?

Great pitch isn't it. Looks fantastic from behind the goal. Don't think there's a straight line on the entire pitch.

Wow, you're difficult. I made the point that we have no idea why he turned Spurs down, but you claimed that because Parker and Emre turned them down, he'd come here. Why did you say that you "don't see why he'd come here"? Because he rejected Spurs? Erm, because I don't see why he'd come here, because he's already turned one club in this country down, and clubs in the capital usually get the player. You still don't see the difference in the Parker and Emre deals do you? We were in direct competition AT THE TIME when trying to sign them. We offered better deals than Spurs did AT THE TIME. This situation is completely different. He won't be sat there thinking "hmm, I don't fancy Spurs, might just wait a while and see if Newcastle come in for me".

Owen on the edge of our box defending? Not exactly where we want him, even in his new deep role.
